I don’t need your time.
I have you in my head, heart, and soul.
But if you have nothing better to do,
I would never mind your time.
“If only… in some other universe, we had every waking minute for one another.”
When you don’t want to disturb your busy loved-ones.

I am frightened
very frightened
I am scared to death
I have no means of escape
all I can do is pray
every second, minute, hour
and cry and tremble
until I die

Constellations of expectations
My shackles— my only relations
A walking canvas of self-destruction

In my sleepless dreams
I see you coming back

The dusk casts a
Shadow on your face
The setting sun
The rising moon
Banish the gap
Between us.

In the shadowed streets that sigh
Under burden of human cry,
From the troubled hearts that weep,
As secrets silent sleep.

There flows a river where flowers bloom
On banks of gold and verdant plume,
Where zaftig earth finds its voice,
In nature's sweet rejoice.

And as the dawn in crimson hue,
Breaks on world refreshed anew,
Sun of hope and prayer true
Sparkles silver yon pavements' dew.

i find myself longing for loneliness,
my room, my silent protector,

it is not the fear of being seen,
but one of being perceived,
my room is my shield,

i find myself longing for solitude and silence,
for in the quiet of my sorrow,
i am most at ease,
i am home.
welp, my first poem. i guess.

We’re not in the movies

But when I look into your eyes I see blue and purple static

If I stare long enough I get lost in starless pools of deep blue

I could drown in them if you’d let me
