A little black puppy At my tentative greeting Wagged their tail surely. Then, rushed into my arms passionately unreservedly Giving me countless kisses all over me. Your little body against my skin and clothes, How warm How soft Like the spring sunshine, Like tears of joy. So that adults and children not far away screaming in fear at your nearness Saddens me As I turn away I already miss you. Your warm, slightly burning body. Your softness. Your gentle fur rubbing against my skin. The dust in your hair was left on me Clean water will bring it back to the world once again And as you roll around on the ground with your friends again in your family's displeasure It will come back onto you again In my dreams tonight You'll be a hundred times larger Your hair will grow so long to burry me in it In our adventures in the dark forest You'll protect me surely As sure as how you wagged your tail at me. We'll meet again All the puppies in the world We'll meet again That day, I become you You become me

A little black puppy At my tentative greeting
In the corners of music and in spaces between punctuations of others' stories I search and imagine for the substance of your love, arriving for me. The glory of its shadow, from the achievements of my imagination, lights up my gently, quivering heart. The solidity of it filters through my porous mind, and surprises it there. It's giant, yet lands without a sound, glimmering, gently, quietly. Like the sound of a breeze passing though airy lashes of soft, gazing eyes. I cannot forget this warmth. It holds every one of the pores of my body, and celebrates each with a gentle, feather-like mini firework. I hold my dreams open All the weight of its out-pouring past content feels less dense than your gaze in my direction, With your whole permanent existence blessing and loving the whole of my permanent existence.

Untitled
The signals of the itch Like occasional asteroid explosions in the distant universe— shrill, Abrupt, Then slowly subsiding My body feels like a giant telegraph tower Surges of radio signals sent with electric wave sounds loud and quiet on and off all over me, I watch Quietly A bit lost Like a bewildered giant As if my body doesn't belong to me As if there is a confidential mysterious exchange between it and something that's totally oblivious to me I watch Like an innocent outsider I listen As the exchange continues on without abating As I fall asleep All the lights still flickering All the sounds popping on Bright and dim Sharp and blunt Abrupt or consistent low humming A giant building of sparkling sensations The black medium of the universe containing planetary detonations On and off Here and there Now and then I awaken, In the morning To a quiet body I don't know what has happened over the night I don't know about the progression of the exchange Has it finished? As I wonder, The signals quietly reemerge, The sounds rerise. I get up and off my bed Now I'm a walking telegraph building.

I'll take my heart, I'll wrap it well, I will send it to a place no one will tell. I'll hide from you, I'll hide from me. I'll send it through the floor, I'll send it above the roof, Did I leave my heart in London? Did I leave my heart in Tokyo? I think I left it by the queen, Or I threw it in a dream. No one knows how to bring it home. ---AuroraRW

Left my heart
It's ok to not be ok. Yes, it's hard to follow your heart but... Tears don't mean you are losing. All you have to do is be true to who you are.

Its Okay
It was your heart Big and strong It was your spirit Open and welcoming I was drawn by your aura yielding Without fear I let go and let you take me away down a stream faithful The further my heart floated down with you the sky became more enriched in dazzling starlight Hand in hand we let ourselves get taken away by this delightful current Surrendering to this sweet dance life gifted us with Ourselves struck with hope in what we thought was only myth Our spirits ribboned around each other like legs under cool sheets Embracing one another as two reunited travelers separated for years Drunk in love and paying no attention to fears I saw finally where poets before me had been Under this celestial sky of serenity is where I forever want to lay in Hand in hand, tangled around each other under dazzling stars that envy our glow Praying tomorrow's sun would show kindness to rise slow

Reunited
I could’ve done the right thing Many moons ago If only I could’ve understood How my heart, I could follow I didn’t know myself enough Yet denied it when you claimed to I was afraid to let myself in Always thought, maybe it’s too soon I knew when something didn’t feel right I could feel my skin shiver and my bones tremble I could never tell what, precisely, Whatever the truth was, often remained a jumbled mumble I went so far away to find myself Days and nights I cried in emptiness That’s when I understood myself Then it was clear that you and I are the oneness. I’m grateful for the struggle For without it, I wouldn’t have travelled so far I’m regretful for the pain For because of it, I have travelled away so far I’ve accepted my slow growth as this is who I am For because of it, I have travelled so close I admit my greatest gain today – You, For because of you, I have found myself.

I Could've Done The Right Thing
During the days I spend slaving away For some measly tips and minimum pay, I often listen to unheard music, And hope for the soonest chance I can play These songs I still practice repeatedly And usually perform quite easily-- Their sequences of notes strung together Weren't ever difficult to remember. What I've always enjoyed doing the most Is getting the right to happily boast About crushing what they said I can't do-- Hopefully, I've shown them a trick or two! This music still swirls inside of my head, And I spend so much time in "rehearsal", I make all the motions asleep in bed-- More time spent "playing" is always helpful!

The Music Which Muses My Eager Mind
Happiness and sadness so close together, Is it melancholia in the sky? Can sadness make you happy And laughing make you cry? These confusing moments makes you want to wonder Is crazy normal or normal crazy? Must we all be puppets of sociaty? Or must we follow our hearts

Daydream
My demons trying to escape. I can feel him. Pulling and tugging. Trying to do, Whatever he can To just break. Break apart from the emotions. Break apart from the tears. Break apart from the lies. He's trying to lead me But I won't follow. Where's he going? He'll break through soon I can already tell. Rip my chest open And pore out into he world. Will I follow, Who will know Once I stitch up the wounds, and he goes.
