Hello lone star,
not too far

I was you once
you were me

See there,
other star

I was you once
you were me

Forever I shall see
that you belong with me

Forever in the night
I shall hold you tight

Forever and a day
I will always stay

Long ago when people had time
They would sit down and compose a line

A pen in hand, nib dipped in ink
With friends far away they'd form a link

Some wrote letters of a superior kind
That stuck around and played on the mind

They type you kept hidden in a box
Away form prying eyes you'd keep them locked

They were not mere words, they were confessions of love
As if the angels themselves were speaking from above

A heart entirely poured into every phrase
About a moment,  a touch, a feeling, a gaze

So this, for you, is my love letter
Let's hope the next is slightly better

What jealous
freshness

wants is
the tickle

of microbes
from meatstink

Doubling Down

Two sides to every story,
life would be what, without worry?

The grass is always greener here
rainfall is a fact not a fear,

Go ahead, leap the
barb-wire fence,
getting hung up a consequence,

and now the rambling starts
with a pounding of hearts,
wishes on lips, arms flailing
any thoughts are alienating,

natural hand holds flesh covered,
the head pounds ideas on hover,

when burnout takes you out, all life becomes toil,
clothes too tight, strip and run into the night, roil

in the street, of a different city,
they don't know, they offer one pity,

so much anger, tears bleed,
strongest muscle has no need

to speak of the gamble,
this affair a dreamt ramble.

They pull a string, she jerks her head,
They say ‘do this’, ‘ok’ she says.
Bound by the strings that’s where she’ll go,
Never feeling more alone.

But her head is wooden, it cannot feel.
They choose her story, that’s the deal.
So her smile it glistens, her heart is sings,
Whilst bound to eternity by the strings.

They burn and mark her skin so fair,
She curls up tight and says a prayer.
But the time has come to take a stand,
To rise to the challenge, no helping hand.

As the sun falls and the night creeps in,
She prepares to commit the most wickedly sin.
Whilst they cast her away and let arrogance fly,
She had been keeping a watchful eye.

The almighty blades, they shone in the light
She hurled herself forward, they were in plain sight.
The sting of cold metal, it gave her a rush,
As she cut the strings, with a final PUSH.

They pull a string and I’m not there,
They say ‘do this’ and I don’t care.
I see their game, but they can’t see me,
As I watch from behind the curtain with glee.

Breathing expands the
belly and the roots

At the top of the head
contracts the greater force

Extends into the toroidal
field until they resonate

A little higher, a little tone
sharpener, a little lquiet

Whose fan do you service
so regularly and generously?

Which senpai do you hope
and need to notice you?

Whose moral maiden’s ****
are called to duty?

I **** with
you heavy

Why else would
I be here?

But we ain't locked in,
you make sure of that
