i have a wall around my heart
it closes off outsiders and protects me
but it also hurts me
shutting me out from people
when the wall starts to crumble
i quickly put it back together
glancing around to see if anyone noticed
it gets lonely here in my fortress
i wonder if the outside is better...
i guess i will never know

it doesn't bother me
if i'm not taken.

i enjoy being single,
and i never wished for us
to be together,
because i know that would
never happen.

but at least we're
together in my thoughts,
and that's enough for me.
it really is enough for me

I have no...
(self-boundaries)
...means of changing.

It's not my fault, I...
(place blame)
...didn't mean to lie.

Why should I try, I will...
(believe in nothing)
...eventually die.

All the underground people...
(your ancestors and mine)


...Do they remember
Being alive?

Face of a innocent,
looking for love.
the wrinkles of youth,
frown upon,
the desperation she reeks.

The loneliness,
overpowering her,
as she see's the others.

The laughs they share,
the heart break they bare,
the love they show,
their hopes that grow.

She wants to feel that love,
that heart break,
that hope.

But the wrinkles of her youth say wait,
it's not your turn,
just sit and watch,
and learn.

Because it is not your turn.
How i feel right now /:
I can breathe now.
The space once thinned
the air thickened
what was left
when it was shared
or stolen,
who can tell the difference?

I can speak now.
Where words were once vessels
heavy, bulging, bursting
and not a one
would not crash and break
when brought before you,
by choice
or coercion.

I can think now.
Every notion that could be ill--
that was ill--
needn't be fretted over,
their truth and honesty
can bask in the world
of my mind, where
my thoughts are the plants
that need nourishing
and my mind can finally bring out
the sun again, while my escape
and freedom brings the rains
breathing health and breeding growth.

what to do when your body starts to tingle?

take a cold shower.
turn on the fan.
drink some water.
turn off the R&B;
blow out the scented
incense.
look around and it will all start to make sense...

*" what to do when my body starts to tingle?"


place a pillow between your burning thighs and remember that you are single!

I  need a girl,
who's smile,
I fall into love with so much,
that her smile drives me to capture,
those single moments of her,
in a form of colors
on my easel.

I always
fall in love,
when I'm not
trapped
in lust.
once I break free
I'm reminded
of the deep, black, cold, and captivating hole
that is me.
