The beast slinking in your eyes
scans my body,
searching for placement of your first bite.
The heat from your fire burns,
Soaking me in the desire that drips from your teeth.
Shooting stars land on my shoulders
where you rip me open,
and your gods steal my breath
to coax a song from my heart.

An evening breeze
.....blows by......you obey,
........and move your lithe body
you sway left.... right...up and down

giving in to the blowing whispers,
...the breath of fire...that starts the dance
your pride of red-yellow-orange,
..........rises.........then falls......
do you know
that you brighten, dim, and glow?
dilating the pupils, rousing the mind even more...
your changing colors, your fiery, wavy movements
blind...and hypnotize.........bringing back to life
dormant desires...of one, entranced...captivated...
........i am lured..........i am tempted...
..................i am here...to dance with you,...
........enfold me...while you're ablaze......
....................singe me......i'd take the heat,
            ...........for....i am your,
                              ...........moth.......

Guys, this isn't much...another nonsense, from me
...just one night with power failure,
watching moths dance around the lighted candle...

Here's to the kids that find their breath in the wind
find their purpose in the sky
their friends in the sunset
their strength in the sunrise.
Here's to the kids with the glimmer in their eyes
the strength of Orion in their core.
A lion's roar behind their faintest whispers.
Their comforting hug when the moon is an only witness.
Here's to the kids that are the galaxy they inhabit
and watch the sunset from the front line of the battle in their mind.

Sometimes
The continual death
Makes me wonder:
Is life only a single breath?

A breath that is held
In the cruel clutches
Of something that brings hardship
To all it touches

Emotions always swirl
Anger, hatred, fury
Jealousy and judgment
Making the world your jury

This single breath
It never seems to leave
A weight on your shoulders
With a nature to deceive

Until that wrenched day
When all you know
Begins to mournfully grieve
When the breath does finally go
And take its blessed leave

Don’t be scared
that 
I’ll ever forget you
.
Believe me:

I remember every

touch

and every

breath

as if it happened

yesterday.
Believe me, I wouldn't forget you if I wanted to.

The beating of my heart seems lethally severe.
Full of misery, heart aches and fear.
Every pleased moment materialize, disappear.
T’ll my agony ends,
You didn’t know how I love you so sincere.

I am waiting for my life to end,
Holding back my mortal friend.
13 times where I was about **** myself,
Still wanting back the door to be open,
Everyday that’s the only thing I wanted to happen.
Yet my heart is still misshapen.
If you could comeback in any moment,
I would probably end up being permanent.

It is but one path, one direction

But this should lead to many other questions
It is really annoying if your just in my imagination
I perceived no other option,
Just to received so many disturbing attentions
Cause I know this is the only solution,
To make our story start up with the right position.

I hope you already know how hard my situation
I know there’s a gap in our correlation,
I know we will end up with no definition
Because of the difficulty in our affection
Yes, I want death with no confusion
Since, that’s the only thing who can make
Our story in no frustrations
Right Decisions,
And go back to introduction


Please help me death,
Please help me to go underneath,
Now I can forcibly cut my breath.
And now I can leave earth.

I stop reading.

I look at these clumsily scribbled words.

I look at these fine print.

And I reach out my hand

to the page

and touch these words

to know

whether they really exist.

I reach out

to grab onto that hand,

so I can come out of water

for a moment,

to take breath

and remember what it was like

to not drown.

For that moment

I keep reading.

Beautiful,
Eyes closed.

                 and
Rise
                      Fall
  
                 and
Rise
                     Fall

The pattern of
Her chest.

Inhale
Exhale
One step
After the other

Inhale
Exhale
One moment
At a time

Inhale
Exhale
One day
And then another

Inhale
Exhale
Fail now
But keep trying

Inhale
Exhale
Wake up
And seize the day

Inhale
Exhale
Keep Breathing
And keep going
I dunno lol
