Sometimes
      the moon
          doesn't
               look to
                  be a far
                      cry from
                           a smile!
Sometimes
   the untouched
       Moon isn't the
            the only one
                        dwarfs
                        everyone.
                         There­ are
                            many more
                              untouchable
                  ­                     ones are
                                         closer by.

I can't do this anymore.
Stepping closer
And
Getting pulled closer,
And then getting pushed away
Or
Having to step away.
I can't do that.
And please...
Don't force me to do that.
My whole life is made out of
Ice
And if
I have to step away,
I'll break,
Crushed under the ice cold of
My imploding desire and pain
For you.

I can only deal with so much
At once.
I didn't even learn how to
Piece myself together the last time.
I'm frozen all over
And I am depending on your warmth,
So please,
Don't break me
While I stand close by...
I don't want to step away.

Some say love is just an illusion
Just a simple irreconcilability of 2 minds
It’s what we want to be not someone we want to see
It’s also a ton of work
It’s a ton of work you refuse to open your mind towards
I knock
One knock...
You answer...
You say here I am come and be apart of a life I want you to see
I want you to feel
Like a silent storm that settles after a hurricane
I want you to see
Like a mother’s first sight upon her new born babies face
I want you to breathe
Like a hot steaming apple pie your grandmother bakes and leaves out on the stove
Two knocks...
You prop the door open..
You say silently under your breath...
I don’t  have anything for you anymore
No money
No job
No house
No family
But you can’t see I don’t want your stuff
#love,
I’ll never get to pull you out of the ashes
But
I’ll always remember how much I love you

We accuse
I accuse
Easily so
Point that crooked finger
Everybody's wrong
You're so right
There we've all been
Self righteous swine
Eternally the victim
Grow will you not
Evolve shall you not
Until you utter
Mea Culpa

we're going to speak
the language of love
all through the
night
we're going to speak
the language of love
until the dawning
light

it'll be so fine
talking in a familiar
lingo
we'll voice it
in an intimate
tango

the meeting and meshing
of close
dialogue
an imbibing with
a special
monologue

let's commence our love
discussions
there is much to these lyrical
percussions

it's so powerful
in the message it
communicates
our linguistics
will enjoy the highest of
rates

we're going to speak
the language of love
all through the
night
we're going to speak
the language of love
until the dawning
light

As close as the rain which runs down the veiny leaves of the poplar trees. Closer still to you and to your thoughts do I wish to be.
Slowly as I did, to descover this desire within me.
