You say you love me, But you are not the one Next to me. You say you love me, But you are not the one Seeing who I am. You say you love me, But you are not the one Caring about my feelings. You say you love me, But you are the one Casually hurting me Unintentionally everyday. Saying “love,” But acting “hurt.” That kind of love Means nothing to me.

Love Doesnt Mean Anything
cannot absent fear from your mind. that’s a sole presumption, that’s a soul prepostioning, coordinating your thoughts breathing & fingers, once achieved ~ once you have learnt ~ mastery of this proposition. tough? oh yeah baby… but then you won’t be needing to ask me for anything, cause you’ll have it under control natta p.s. i’m working on my absentia dementia too…

6:00pm poem: can give you anything you want, but
Over that hill Next to the bridge Under a willow tree That's where she lives She blossoms there Thrives on fresh air Not something you'd notice Unless you stare A silhouette of her body Still molded in grass Rounded by beauty Fractured like glass She sat there one day That's all it took Stole my breath away Without gifting a look I, a mere mortal Gazed from afar At the princess in purple Covered in scars Her glasses kept slipping Didn't seem to fit proper Through her book she was living I had nothing to offer When the last page was read And the subject was closed She stood up to stretch Into the shape of a rose In a flash she was gone As the Sun said good bye A true blossom I plucked Without saying hi ,

Twilight You mere Cousin to our friend Dusk, You fold & slide blue ,heavenly. so heavenly hued. Twilight You , My children s book, are Who I first met; dis- liked , aligned so eerily with mystery , & My Old Man Death.

Twilight You
how you affected me was not a single moment, but a slow erosion like wind convincing stone to forget its shape. I didn’t notice at first. your presence was a flicker, a shift in the way I held my breath when the kettle screamed. you rearranged my sentences. I began to speak in ellipses, leave thoughts unfinished to feel them echo. my hands learned new hesitations. I touched things differently the edge of a book, the space between keys, the silence after music. you didn’t ask for anything. you just arrived, and the architecture of my days tilted slightly, as if gravity had changed its mind. I still walk the same streets, but they feel less certain.

how you affected me
I’ll never claim moral authority. I could never tell what’s good for me. Installation welcome for moral education. A ginger car, foot on the break. I practice saying hello. Though I’m poor at it. Angel please offer your hand to me. A catalog of books to read. I have so many stories to write. But I drive on the open road, so I too, could be a memory. I’ll never find what’s right for me. If grace could be define, it would be a quiet phase, another person, learning for the better. Who never knows, but it’s gone now. So I’m craving more. But I’m traveling to trigger prompts of moral lessons, just to conjure the need to practice is where I fail to act. I’m just waiting to crumble again. All I know, be a ***** when it comes to your own ethics.

He, is the angel you'd fight the devil for. The one, You'd climb mountains for, just to be one with the sky, and see his face.

what is love in 500 words or less?
many years ago, obsessed, possessed, by devils impulses irresistible, wrote poems like a mad~Person, dripping octaves and intervals, notating notes unreachable, between every word, every sighting, seen and un~scene now years in, years on, yet I fool, have in my wallet purse, a purser's bounty, should I win either, or both of the lotteries to be held this weekend... fool, fool, dreams and verbal webs woven, all are now and by tomorrow, will be recycled into dust, and I am soon to follow, cackling laughter at the fool I've become, that's my name, fool fool…fool

call me fool, if anything...
I feel your eyes on me not the gaze, not the warmth,   but the weight,   the pressure of being seen   in the wrong light,   in the wrong skin,   in the wrong moment   when I forgot how to hold myself together. You watched me unravel   and I pretended it was wind,   pretended it was art,   pretended it was anything   but the truth of your attention   scraping against the raw parts   I thought I’d buried. There was a twitch in my shoulder   when you stared too long a memory of hands that didn’t ask,   a hallway echo,   a breath caught mid-sentence   because the air turned sharp   and I couldn’t remember   how to be safe   in my own outline. I feel your eyes on me   and I want to peel mine out   so I don’t have to meet them,   so I don’t have to confirm   what you already decided   about the way I flinch   when someone says my name   too gently. You don’t blink.   And I keep hoping   if I stay still enough   you’ll forget I’m here,   forget I ever let you in,   forget the way I folded   when you said   nothing at all.

I feel your eyes on me
I look at you, you look at me The glances were exchanged The sparks were flying O' I swear, the heart fluttered I sometimes steal a glance and sometimes yours wondering curious eye I swear it was something before anyone raise the point But here I wonder upon it Was it true or something I made I doubt my remembrance, the old issue of mine But this time, there is something different I felt, Like it tapped into my truest of truth It tapped into something I am made of So, I wonder, I wander where are you now Into the unknown I pledge for you to come back Come back fast So we can look it together love.

Somethings
As darkness is just perceptive errors or failures, Light reveals more. Investigation yields more Than merely just believing; You can believe in everything, Without believing in anything. You can believe in everything, Without believing in 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. You can believe in everything, Without it meaning anything. You can believe anything, Even while it goes against all that is logical & virtuous. Believing in everything without properly investigating Is meaningless. Believing in anything that after investigation contradicts Logic & Virtue, facts & opinion - both the objective & subjective, Is meaningless. Don't read into things Which really aren't there to begin with, Because there is so much Of which you all are ignorant. So don't be arrogant; Be a teacher, Parent.

Fine Tune The Senses, Strum Your Lyres; The Brain Itself Is A Muscle, The Mind Is An Instrument
Deep in my heart I knew you'd leave. I knew I wasn't good enough, even though I tried. but I wanna know how you left so effortlessly? I gave you my all.... so fully, leaving none of myself for me. I rooted my self worth in you, if you loved me, I loved me. (but I would always love you more) so how? how could you just leave without a second thought, knowing I loved you? knowing I would have given you the world  if you only would have asked? you told me to jump and I asked how high. even now, if you came back, I'd welcome you with open arms. saying sorry for anything I did to make you leave. because I loved you. and I always will love you. but I know you won't. you couldn't, you chose not to. I was a space holder, no matter the lies you told me, the loved you pretended to share. I was a mere page in your story, but you were my book....

~•§•~ The Truth from a Lier ~•§•~
Anything? Everything I always thought that a world without you would be a world with less light. But then I thought about life before you, and I remember light being there, I just didn't really care. So now, when you say you doubt you've made a difference, and you're worried you haven't changed anything, I'll smile and say "baby, you've changed everything."

Anything? Everything
No more... Feeling unwanted Feeling unloved Feeling like there's no one above I've had e-fu¢ing-nough No more... Being "the problem" Being "more that I can take" Being no more than "the latest mistake" For **** sake No more... Fu¢king anything I'm okay with it being just me I'm okay with being nothing I can only be what you see ©2024

every bit, every tiny bit i can feel the elephant foot through my chest, there is little to no breath, can i stop? god, if there is anything for me please don’t make it wait longer tell my future i won’t be coming earth is not my place, not anywhere i’ve been this is too much half my day i want to scream on the top of my lungs for help, for solitude, for no one why am i not heard yet? maybe i should tell someone that my room is a mess like my head and i can’t keep it still, slowly filling my hands with anything i can find, i wont rest i cant rest i can’t let me go i have to become my future i promised i won’t go i promised things i can’t keep just let me go, my lungs have and the blood swells my chest my eyes aren’t smiling im sorry im not joyful like i used to be

heartbreak
I don't know if I can change anything. But I have to try. I've seen too many people let their dreams fall by the wayside. And for what? A chance to survive long enough to see their children thrive? No. We deserve better. For ourselves. For our loved ones. For everyone. Like I said. I don't know if I can change anything. But I have to try. I've seen too many people let their dreams fall by the wayside.

By the wayside
I feel breathless at any speck of thought —an idea— crossing my mind. I am restlessly wishing for something, prying for crumbs, and my mind is slowly sinking. Breathing words for oxygen, concepts for nutrients. I am a starving girl in a desert of words.

Desert Of Starving Words
You can be anything you want to be; a clown, a lover, a serial killer, a tarot card reader, a musician who likes to eat pickles. You can be a prized fighter who falls in love with love itself. When you read you can be anything, and I do mean anything. But when you write.....you can see what's happening in front of you, you can be the night sky, in the twinkling eye of the child when she is being read your bedtime story. Put yourself in my place, when I am writing I close my eyes and the story that wants to come out is vividly clear in front of me. It's amazing what words can do when the right ones are put together: time stood still when you looked at me. I felt what you didn't say, I felt what you were gonna say. You smell so good, I can't wait for you to.....You know....It's all good, I know you feel it too, if this is just my imagination, I need to stop drinking so much coffee, the caffeine is starting to get to me.
