I will always remember the time
you took my hand;
you took me to various places,
to beautiful pieces of land

I will never forget the time
you let go of my hand,
and I felt the world shatter inside of me
for a while I didn't understand

I will always remember
the time we spent during that fair-weather,
and slowly, but surely
I will piece myself back together

I will never forget
how you were like a fortune teller;
always a bellwether,
showing me that I will eventually have to untether

I will always remember* you, my friend
for am I still only a pinfeather
and you have helped me develop for the better
i got closure with my ex last night. i've never felt better. my anxiety is still  a little wonky, though

Her
It mustn't hurt
To feel the pain for me
To remember my dates
While I try to kiss you through
A block of plastic and steel.

It can't be true
If I see you smile
And wilt
Never broken by a sun
That shines on anyone else
Never.

You've been so much to me,
But could I feel alone
When you look at me?
Could I know
A lightning flint
Strike sparks on my smile
Just for you?

It's never enough to be alone
Because the things you told me
Build roads to my feet
You're beautiful
Because of all you do
And it would be wrong
To hope no one else sees that.
Eh. Hard times

Many words have been created. Many actions have been performed. Many forms of love exist.
Many forms of hate exist.
Among all of these many many ways of living, ways of dealing and being, there is nothing strong enough to express how i feel.
Oh, how I wish to explain it so you can feel it too.
Almost like butterflies so beautiful you could cry. Butterflies whose wings sing your name when they flutter.
Almost like twinkling stars so bright they can be seen next to the sun and shine brighter. With every twinkle they sprinkle love upon all who notice them.
But so much more than that. So much better than that.
I write all my poems, If you would like to use any of them, I ask that you ask my permission or at least inform me that you are using them.
That is the least you could do.
Thank you.

oh how the stars bloom
in your eyes like millions
of fireworks on the fourth
of july;

i dig my heels into the dirt
and i call out like the ground
to the rain and the ocean
to the moon-

i say,
"i will cry for you
until i go crashing down,"

and i don't wait
for a response.

Awkward pause
A bird drones on in the background
Unaware
You try to meet my eyes
Don’t bother
This life is just boredom trying to transcend itself
Someone somewhere lies on the ground
Traffic picks up
Voices in the crowd align with the bustle of the city
They fade into insignificance
Too loud to be heard
I comment
I stop halfway
Words elude words
Connections wither
A sprawled empty sentence meanders half hearted out of existence
Frustration tastes a lot like the memory of past relationships
I have noticed
So many people just want to be affirmed
They speak to be heard
Exist to be noticed
You’ve been repeating that sentence since the beginning of the year
A mockingbird singing at a broken mirror
**** the jays
Dissenters, right-wing *******
Yeah, yeah, ***** them, hella
Swallows the choir
It’s disgusting
Regurgitation has become the new culture
I realise I haven’t talked for a minute
You try to meet my eyes
Sorry
There are too many voices here
Repetitious wavelengths cascading into negative space
It’s all white noise
I don’t care about the weather
The whole city can drain into the gutters for all I care
It’d be better that way
Look there
There’s that homeless guy who has no one left
Family or friends
Let’s invite him to the house
He hasn’t read anything in years
Maybe he has something worthwhile to say

amber light bulbs
on the street
standing on top of it
a crowd of slender
long-legged flies
buzzing
when you turn
on the other side
the darkest part of
shadow you'll ever see

you question yourself
should i stay or go?
is it the position
you are used to?
or the shadow that
curious you?
I thought I lost you the other day
I dreamt I was standing by your grave
But you were only a few blocks away
But I lost you nevertheless

I thought I saw you the other day
But it was a stranger wearing your coat
The one I gave you on your birthday in May
But I lost you nevertheless

I thought I called you the other day
But I couldn't go through with it
Even if I missed you I know you´d say
I lost you nevertheless

I thought I got over you the other day
Got this feeling of relief in my chest
But even with the heartache at bay
I lost you nevertheless

I thought I lost you the other day
and you were saying it was for the best
But you were only a few blocks away
But I lost you nevertheless
Let me know what you think.

I will burn this land to a grave and make
an idol in the hollow of the hallow
shadow, a crow, a cow,  pharaohs.

men on fire and women on spikes, children smiling and casting a storm across the sky,
flooding heaven in a whisper as water begins to pour from the eye to wither.

ashes dance to the winds, swirling and screaming through the smoke only to be cursed and burned, choked without a Phoenix to dream, I will swallow this dusk for a dawn as if I was never born, to mourn my own.

chiseled earth traversed, traveled, levelled, to make way for a travern that follows the winter through the mighty mountains, a fountain that shows one who seeks a face as it fades into the skin of its reflections affection.

skeletons crushed beneath the weight of bricks and stones, seeds sown, meat grown to feed the hunger of a stranger with no home,
claws and knives kept in the belly of a slave wandering in the midst of a cage, a cave with no escape.

slitting the sunlight and offering it to a red morning forming bright halo against the dark surface, a maze, ablaze with the hurried footprints of a sage that turned into a monster and made the cursed cry, a lie, to die for.

illusion of a delusion, evoltuing into a revolting fanatic staring at satanic verses carved on cryptic, epileptic, metallic claws of death.

words eaten by dust as it rust, sprinkling age on the old, cold, sold for a dream that mints insects clinging to the heart of its host, a ghost at most,
a soul to the least, a feast for the diseased
as they keep the ones who would weep in a coffin to sleep.

forming circles in thin air, a mare, a layer of filth emerging from an ocean of bodies floating in the images young and gory,
they will tell you a story and i wouldn't believe me.

in the wake of morrow, swallow the yester tears immersed in the black hue of the lingering silence, violence will crown another king, to sing and bring, wearing skin to hide the monster he became in the blessing of an idol, a crow, a cow, pharaohs.

I met my ghost yesterday, on the bus at a time young girls are not supposed to travel alone. I was thirsty for freedom; she sat next to me dressed like a wanderess, she smelt of some cheap perfume and her face a golden cage. We sat together like anthills and did not speak, we were immigrants of a violent history, she sold her body and I my brain.

You will  never see me
Love or hate but my thoughts are real
My skin is cut from the words
The words u say are blinded by the mask you wear
I wish u took the time see the image which is you
I have look outside the box to move forward
Be your self  bc i can see threw  you like stain glass  window
We push for better understanding but i see now i just have  to walk away
