I dream of you
when I close my eyes
and run through the golden fields
naked of all fear
and covered in the sunlight
of whom I hold most dear
taking in the yield
of passion's highs
as I rush to you.

I dream of you
when I open my eyes
and walk through the grey streets
veiled in mundane dismay
and covered in the soot
of machination gone astray
from the golden wheat
of desire's lies
as I stride to you.

I dream of you
endlessly.

And I dream
that you dream
of me
even fleetingly.
Like an unbuttoned blouse, she hangs in sky,
Her shifting phases tease with lust’s delay.
Her light, a lover’s touch, brushes my thigh,
Her tides rise, fall, and leave me cold, astray.
Her light finds my door with unknown intent,
As night fades, dawn’s horizon drinks her deep.
Secrets, stolen, through her rapture sent,
A warm liqueur spills where earth lies asleep.
She pulls like tides that steal the shore’s embrace,
My secrets, stolen, fuel her sweet release.
Her hunger takes, yet leaves no hiding place,
As earth drinks deep her moonlit, stolen peace.
Oh, moon, a temptress, caught in your thread,
You weave the night, leave me naked in your bed.
waiting in line
to see something interesting
this light of mine
is my bestest thing
waiting in line
to see a new movie
i saw it online
looks pretty groovy
waiting in line
to ride a carousel
the names of every animal
i could never tell
waiting in line
for a celebrity signature
the beginning of that hour
made my heart rupture
waiting in line
to drive and see you
stuck in highway traffic
allows me to take a few
waiting in line
for the next train
the carriage stops within
they all look the same
waiting in line
to get something to eat
hunger moves throughout
and pain through my feet
waiting in line
to wait in another
i've been in here for days
don't want to be a bother
waiting in line
to an elusive pit
everyone lines up
apparently seen as fit
waiting in line
and when i finally leave
the ride is only a minute
a photo taken is left behind
is it really worth it?
waiting can bring joy, and also sorrow. it is up to us to choose how we spend our time in line.
She lies unclothed, asleep at dawn’s first light,  
Her skin aglow, a summer’s warm embrace.  
Between two hills, a sparrow’s fleeting flight,  
A whispered secret, hidden in that space.  

A garden lush, untamed, where beauty grows,  
Its solitude, a treasure softly kept.  
Her inner thighs, where velvet’s gentleness flows,  
Like grooves on records where her movements slept.  

The curve of her, a dancer’s arm in air,  
A peach’s sweetness, yielding, lush, and deep.  
Her petals bloom, a rose beyond compare,  
Within, the heart of the bloom it keeps.  

The inguinal fold, a butterfly’s plume,  
A feather’s mark on clay, a fragile trace.  

And yet, too beautiful for me, she’ll drift away,  
Yet in my heart, her beauty’s here to stay.  
Her splendor burns, a flame I fail to hold,  
In dreams, her folds forever I behold.

Soft as honey, hard as ice
Never mine, your honest eyes.

For I was never yours, not in the moments
When you looked at me, all soft and warm;
And you were never mine, not in the eternity
When my heart beat double-time.

We were never loved, not when we stared
Into the depths of all we hid;
Nor in those sacred moments, reverent
When we understood all we just undid.

Not in the glow of standing together,
An enduring lantern light-
For it soon ended, as it should have
In the glare of the daylight.

A yearning swallowed softly,
In the wake of reality
Never dared to be dreamt -
It fades away, leaving whispers behind.

They follow me as I work, and
Gaze wistfully out of the misty window -
As I lay in my bed, tired
Dreaming softly of worlds (not my own).

Those whispers distract, daze,
Destroy - destroy my life, built so
Tirelessly with my sweat and despair.
How could I throw away all of this,
When I worked so hard to get it?

Those whispers, they answer -
You worked for it, yes,
but you never
Wanted it.
What is it that you want?

And my traitorous mind, it whispers
(no, screams) back -
Dew-dropped meadows, sunsets that
Burn like fallen gods;
Views that steal my breath, suffocate
Until no thoughts remain.

Awe that makes me breathless, paralyzed -
A beauty so vast it cannot be
Understood.
Dawns that rise with me, falling away
Like old skin, the sun raw
On my transformed self.

Oh, I know what I want.

This morning, I see you in the cannonball tree
Come crash into me, I think
Through the rustling of falling leaves, your voice calls

You are hiding within the pale red fringe-flowers over there, I am certain
I search for any relic of your scent amongst them
My senses ache to be engulfed in your love

Two blackbirds sing to each other from across the trees
I should call, I think
Maybe if your voice could touch my ears, everything would be alright
Under the drizzle of an August day, I fall in love with you again

But I can still see you crying that day in March
My sweet boy…
Maybe you belong beneath the fallen leaves

With joy, I stand,
As you slip from my hand,
A shadow, a veil, so faint, so fine,
Fading like dusk at the close of time.

Yet in absence, I call—
Come forth within me, in all,
To nestle, to bloom,
In my heart’s hallowed room.

O’ radiant spark, so fair,
Manifest love, and fill the air,
Let me hold thee, soft and bright,
A treasure in endless night.

I burn without a flame, I glow without a light,
I speak in silent whispers, and vanish with the night.
In one I’m soft, in two I soar,
In many, I can make hearts roar.

I stand within the darkness, yet never cast a shade,
I bind the soul in silence, though never am I made.
I carry no true body, yet fill the air with fire,
A fleeting touch, a fleeting wish, that never shall expire.

I am both bold and tender, a gift that can’t be seen,
I form with just a glance, and fade where I have been.
I dwell where time stands still, and yet, I freely flow,
A secret shared between us—do you know where I go?

In shadows where the silence screams,
He feeds the dark within my dreams.
A twisted thought, a cruel delight,
Lust and death entwined in night.

"Stop," I beg, but he won’t relent,
His hunger deep, his mind is bent.
"Then I'll die," he dares declare,
If I deny what’s in the air.

A hunger sharp, a hunger vile,
It drags me closer, mile by mile.
No love, no light, just bitter need,
A poison spread on which we feed.

No soft caress, no gentle plea,
Just bodies chained, both wild, yet free.
In that dark dance, we both pretend,
That death could sever, but it won't end.

The lines are blurred, the rules ignored,
Where lust and death are both adored.
A secret pact, a dangerous game,
In twisted pleasure, no one’s to blame.
