Her bob cut was not that bad
Inspired a 50's vibe that couldnt be forgotten.
The smoke that came out of her mouth
Like a demon in a gas station.
And the two sides of light were dancing in her face
Blue and pink, and pink and blue.
You could feel the colors and see sounds.
In the streets behind a neon sign was a paparazzi
Waiting for her like a lion waits for the gazelle
To liberate the thunderbolt.

one day
you're outside riding your bike
getting scrapes on your knees
that your mother kisses
after she's bandaged

one day you're running outside with your friends
throwing water balloons
without a care in the world

one day you're sitting in class
praying to go home
and for time to move faster

one day you'll hear your name called out
loud and clear
a stage awaiting your footsteps toward your future

one day it will all be over
appreciate it now
you don't have
as much time
as you think

Even the Gum-Skulls
are playing
between the legs of the dancers
in this hall

Even the impaired are dancing
ever trusting
they could fall

The partnered are whoever
whoever
are who they please be

The hands are often wanderers
the wonderers drink their mead

The animals hide
under the table
til the time to take their bleed

Then
they're upon the table
accompanying the mead
A Winter Pair
Inside
New Years Eve

Another Dawn has come again,
I am so thankful for my friends;
Each one of them stands by my side,
within my heart, they all reside.
~
They fill me with a sense of pride,
I feel so lucky I'm alive;
They always have the time to help,
they've put me on a pedestal.
~
When I laugh or cry my tears,
they've always there, through the years;
I have their backs, they have mine too,
there's nothing that I wouldn't do.
~
I try to improve their life's so much.
from each of them, my life's been touched;
All I can say is, "Thank you all,"
for making me feel ten feet tall.

I think of past moments and how different I’ve become
Thinking of all that made me numb
I want you just like I did back then
Wherever you may be my arms are open
If it makes a difference to you
I’d just like to say I still love you too
I wish the world had not of come between
But good came from it; one of us got clean
I am not a sinner nor am I a saint
A falsified portrait I will not paint
You will see how much I’ve changed and grown
Pages of this life I own
I slip right through these paper years
As my innocence all but disappears
Ehh this one is alright but not very cohesive

How long do you want me to wait
20 minuets 3 years
I hate myself
Because I know I’ll wait for you until death appears

Greetings, Sky.
I have been away.
It's been years,I reckon.
But I have not forgotten how tenderly you cradled me like the grandmother I never had.
I loved you like a love dream and you loved me back.
And yes,I remember,
How like a ball was every night,when the stars danced to sweet cosmic tunes!
How like an encounter with God Himself, Reading to me the story of creation!
But how like a dream,
It ended!

I came to you the other night,
For the sake of a humble discourse.
I talked at the top of my lungs,
And you didn't answer.
Everything has changed.
I must add,
That friend who often visited you with me,
The one who was very fond of you,
Wants to rid himself of his own existence now.
But so would I wish on myself, should you remain indifferent,any longer.
Why! God!
Why the inevitability of certain circumstances handicaps us, to even practise our own will?

I,thus in shame cry and bid you adieu,
And I pray we mend our friendship anew!
