#nemo
Summer's rest is where I met myself in jest. When waves turn blue, the yellow strings sing with joy. But when bones gather, I don the mask of sanity. Nemo. A name, perhaps, or just a whisper of doubt. I swear, I'm unsure, though. If death comes, bury me with Nemo.

Burry me with Nemo
#*Some need to break mountains to carve a path Many will take and be led by the well trodden path The  path laid by life we tread that leads to self Maybe finding Nemo on the way Undefined the destiny May it lead to the best Bringing love peace harmony*#

The Path
Reverie remember me Dreams like penitentiary And they just won’t let me go It’s my ego, it’s montego bay It’s hard to say like “anemone” Another day another Hennessy and i’m drowning away Craving useless euphemisms, i’m still lost at sea Haunted by consumerism, the ghost of Ronnie McD, Mr. Clown meet mr. Clownfish Mr. Marty lost his son So i ain’t the only one actively and theatrically looking for “no one”

Nemo
"You think you can, But you just can't, Nemo!" You're right. I can't. I can't do anything. So goodbye, Dad. I'm leaving. Forever. I'll see you Wherever fish go When they die.

If I Was Nemo, There Wouldn't Have Been a Second Movie
her spine lay lengthwise speed bumps for my fingers to carefully explore— tracing out tattoos of a satisfied itch i mustn’t get too eager idyllic in my state sunken into my bed and head into pillow and my chest for hers her cheek rides like rolling whitecaps of the ocean upon my rising breast her head is here but her mind soars elsewhere anchored in clouds of sleep while i lay grounded stroking across her back staring at my ceiling drinking in all i can with my finger tips etching a route through her spine

under these ocean waves sheltered from apollo’s rays old neptune’s tower lays with travertine and marbled glaze and filled to brim with tiny faes the twilight crawls with little haste to bring a night that lasts for days

Before Old Charon I now stand A bushel of berries for this ferryman The guardsman of fate expresses his guilt For the broken promises he has spilt forget the italics of my brash remark ford the wide styx sings the deathly lark a limerick of longing hollows my mind the verbal flogging hardens my heart from the kind

toll for Charon
and in it she stood awash with crescented chrysanthemums with honeysuckle skin and wisteria eyelashes and with it i said if nights were like coins id spend them all on you and twinkle them between my fingers shaking them up and admiring the glint and value of the night and its stars and the coppery, nickel-y dusk that stains my hand with the bouquet of metal and flowers goldenrod warmth from nights and coins invariably spent alongside only you with a perfume of evening and pressing summer heat and my whispers and promises that tell you that if nights were like coins id spend them all on you

if nights were like coins
She bore my soul as the sun bears an orbit, a volcano-skinned corona filling My soul, caught by Sol My satellite spirit Tumbles just out of reach You warm me and suspend me in thine beauty You arrest me and attract me But I know to keep my distance For one mis-teetered keeling skins my delicate organs and erupts me inside your volcano lined furnace As a star does to it’s most foolish of followers

a ruddy thrush of experience 
artifacts your chest
 opal sheers of lineage
 marred by remains 
of precise and careful 
additions to a calcium
 body
 accented by a
 lightning storm quicksilver 
river 
coursing across neck
 and chest 
a mark to guide
 breaths of life into you

her scar :)
a good too many snaps and cracks from the skeletal forest a gentle brushing from an acrylic wind that promenades itself on marble toes that crack and shatter in gouache throes of violence that gilds the branches in flowing starlight a craggy ribcage of sprouts and succulents that paint a scene with watercolor irony an eager scrawling of earthbound rabble that hops freight trains and skips life away a conflict of self flourished in opals and ravished in scented velvet a good too many fears and desires

in the temple at delphi upon the steps afront my crown of wire lay a pile of birds sat crossed in thirds my lungs resigned in splay phobos’ kiss afflicts with bliss amongst the thistled dirt the sowing of a new isle what once was old and now is true are a bygone from the blue

what a twisted portrait i now find myself in a warped frame broken at its corners my colors are leaking out i am free my frown distorted to my teeth my bones overgrowing my eyes my mirth overflows and fills the room my candlelight scored by the apollo of friendship my twisted portrait shredded in sum i am now a positron to a dipole my teeth have grown tenfold and now sit incumbently outside my own mouth

a glimpse of a sketch of an outline of an idea glittered with the crust of cobalt wrists new emotions piano’d against the tin roof of my memory analogous to my god complex a possessive clutching at your budding wings shear them from you before you can fly trap you under me my goading grimace i feel regret but i cant let you go you are my umbra please stay under me a two dimensioned demigod silhouette how id feel without my shadow i havent the foggiest

so long we spoke seething with breath a troubled flutter of a waxed hour pattered my nerves your pins strike true precisely placed in my most blank regions why my envy broke my callous i cant say

the way i want you so ethereal i feel lighted as we speak my throat catches hard my skin crawls; is gone snare drum noses in a cavity populated with sugarbugs and lightning rods narcoleptic lips trace arias of sand against collarbones my imagistic descent into coral lined papers inner tongue colors the edges of our orchestra our ballad of temperament our skewed talents invoked candelabra memoirs a love of no soul in particular

every day i slave away with matted hair and a face of gray a neutral near, a hostile far a passive glance at passing cars a teardrop lake inside a sea a lotus plant in skulls of tea a vapor sky, a splash of lye echoed calls of radio cries a hidden wish leaves yellowed bones a sour thought turns love to stones that plug your stomach and drill your feet with wants and wishes, with cravings sweet that pull you under a wicked tide an anchored flight, but then she died so how could i
