He said 'you are strong' She said 'I'm unemotional'. He said 'you worry a lot about things' She said 'blunders are scary'. He said 'take it easy' She said 'difficulty is the key '. He said 'I'm not like others' She said 'you proved it'.

They speak of absence & inaction - Yet, 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩, ¹ Such things do not exist. Like imbalance, These are merely perspectives.

It's ******* disturbing. I wake up tired, My body aching. I just stop sleeping. News, coffee. Planet encyclopedia, Thesaurus cigarettes And dictionary breakfasts. Slices of rhetoric With some kind of spread of intellect - For lunch? Dissertative sandwiches. Grains of perspectives In something over-marinated. I just stop eating. It matters not.

Bloodshot - Akimbo
No matter how you view it- It's all lookings, each perspective. You grow & you grow & you grow, But you refuse to germinate. Don't you know? You must release your seedlings If you hope for a root To be planted. Can't have too fragile of a barrier, But neither too hard the shell. Spread your wings And do your thing, Flaunt your laurels.

How About A Little Closure?
My boyfriend Peter’s like smoke, he’s elusive. He doesn’t always carry his phone. There’s a crosswalk in Tokyo, it’s in all the movies. The light changes and hundreds of people walking in different directions meet - but they don’t collide - they make room for each other, flowing around each other like water. Peter and I make room for each other. Then we come together and we make something. We’re of such different textures - we come from stark counterpoints but somehow, we mesh. He’s the first person I go to with an idea because I trust him and I think he understands me. He’s my secret weapon. His advice is a coin I’m careful with. He’s gone through the long slog and achieved a dream. And he did it poor. He fought a guerilla war with almost no resources. He lived in crowded spaces, existed on Ramen noodles and saltine crackers, taking any job to cover. He’s practical, goal oriented and he can be unsympathetic. He’ll whisper, “Nutup up, tinkerbell - you’re such a baby,” but there's a supportive energy to it - and he’s usually right. He heralds a reality I’m not always used to. Anyway, he was smoky tonight. I couldn’t reach him. Sometimes we go over a week without talking (I'm not always reachable either) and when we do, it feels intimate and victory-like. . . Song for this: Come in from the cold by Marc Broussard One Two Three by Hooverphonic

Art is one portal of a canvas that grants man a chance to glimpse through its window into another reality, possibility, absurdity forged by the creativity of another human mind, anothers blazing passion or twisted interpretation of the world.

Flipping through nothing But empty pages Made me realise, You see much further With an open heart And iridescent eyes.

Don't know how big our life is, Don't know how far our feelings stays, So, Let me dip you in my love, Let me show you my deepest secret, Let me know the reasons behind all your moods, Let me know you sometime, Let me just enjoy the long rides with you, Let me understand you, Let me change your perspective, of that drawing you made in your heart, Until we fall apart, Just let me love you....

Let Me..
In a wordy battle with trivial dogmatic mentalities , I win by sandwiching my perspectives between my upper lip tubercle and lower lip tubercle.

Caught her off guard in the car I snapped a picture She didnt notice I laughed Off into space she stared Somewhere lost in her head I think her mind is gone She's in the zone Her imagination is so fascinating I couldn't even begin to fathom What she might be thinking She's friends with all her demons Must be some dark angel I'm watching her blank faced No emotion No expression No vibe Where's her energy at I wonder if she knows I'm looking at her So calm so content With just complete silence It doesn't even sound quiet Shes off on another planet When she gets back I'll forget it ever happened

*“your arrhythmic rhymes, skinflint perspectives, this is what I ask, what I need, what you can give, what is in your possess, what you need to unburden, making me better for making you lessened”  * <> she offers me this, a way out to more, a way in to lessen, knock on heavens door, a suggest tendered, treaty of mutual arms-ments-to-be? perhaps is my answer, utter the skinflints perspective, maybe it is no treat, this treaty, but a rad road well traveled to mutually assured destruction, the intended embrace of unintended consequences

arrhythmic rhymes, skinflint perspectives
Think of windows here, As a part of you.. halves And quarters division; albeit in unequal measures. Think of them .. as a gateway to your soul. The Spectacle seen Peeping through, may be your revelation clear. Think of clouds at the top, A head full of dreams. Plethora no mortal could, One lifetime, found wanting A singular life is so unfair. Think of green fields, lush An ever fleeting illusion_ A maritime expedition ! Gentle discord of youthful years. Think of the collosal trees, And how they have grown. Over the years.. into you. Unfathomable phenomenon. Dizzying, if you try surmise. Think of the divisions, Conflicted contradictions. They are necessary rebellions. Barely mindful of all they divide. Think of the picture whole, A graceful dishelvmemt, Puzzle pieces nonplussed. Chaos in divisions unified. Pause, now for a moment And think_ the glass that gives it all, perspective. Refracted wisdom oodling to guide you the way ! Reflections making you mindful; so you may not forget. Head full of clouds, Feet glued to the ground. Couldn't your reckoning be any clear ?

The Looking Glass
An infinite sky exits within my teacup. Rose, mint world.. in a porcelin bowl. Blue backdrops the newly budding tree, its green sprouts compliment the sun with their shine. I do not wish to drink this world away. My tongue is dry. My lips wrinkled from the thirst. I kiss the bowl one time. And swallow this world.

There's rules to perspectives How they’re viewed through the mind If its healing that you want The only change will come with time

The sky is austere No glinting embroidery Guess she became all jaded Wearing that pearl-beaded shawl A sight he took for granted.

Unembellished Night
Does the line of comfortability change due to culture? Can you handle less because maybe you did not handle more? Are you over sensitizing because I overheard? Telling me to watch the words I learned at a young age because Susies mom taught her kids those terms? Do you only laugh at the people you enjoy? Respect the same of your own? Can you respect me even if you don't agree, I don't want to come at you, I don't think Im right but I don't think Im wrong. Agree to disagree simple to say it . You tell me.... "I AM" part of the queer community as if I don't love a good ***** in the face. You tell me WHO you are and assume who I am not. I don't want to take away your voice, I don't disagree, I just wanna say mine too and how I feel....

I once wondered why the clouds Chose to hold out and not weep Chose to be a martyr and enshroud The earth till the little buds leap As I ponder, the cold wind blows and like a reminder, I remembered I must get my umbrella and trench coat Before I hopped onto that riverboat And like an idiot, I realize Why the clouds chose to keep his cries. Again, I looked out the window and asked the thoughtful clouds to promise me That when his burdens reached its crescendo I'll be fine and he must not hesitate to let go.

I'm that waitress Every guy wants to be served by Wants to talk to Wants to bring out on a date I'm that waitress Guys would want to hit on Want to bring back home Want to take advantage of Sadly that's all I'll ever be A waitress they want to get laid by Maybe someday One day There will be a guy That will say She's that waitress I would want to marry And have my future with Maybe one day I'd be a waitress That people would view with good intentions

That waitress
I know not enough words to weave you a beautiful story. The extraordinary sceneries, the overflowing emotions; I can describe neither. And you'd put me in a great deal of trouble and frustration if you ever ask me to describe life, for any words I speak will never equal to this – this undescribable journey. I long to tell you all the little things I notice everyday, how beautiful the scene outside my two by three window today. You, who constantly complain about the daily stresses you experience; I want you to notice the things I see. Why are you so blind to the lilies outside your window, brushing against it in an attempt to say hello? What about the sound of rain, have you never stopped to listen? You told everyone that you hated life, but don't you understand that life loves you, despite every insult you've ever thrown at her? If you ever ask me about life, I'll tell you so many more things. I'll be life's spokesperson, since you seem to be deaf to her cries. Perhaps you'll understand if I try to say these things out loud. But alas, I've never got a chance to do so, because you've never asked about life. But I suppose that one should ask my name first before one could ask about things like life.
