It is kind of liberating
Not being flowery
Minding Ps and Qs
Inside of You.

O tunnel of firs,
tied with rain,
were you watching too,
when my parapet
ate a hock of indigo
at seven, and, still hungry,
gobbled a dull star?
Were you watching
from cold roots,
little grove, when
something unfaithful
happened? A curling lip
received a sacrament
of apple cider vinegar
under clouds of hospital gauze.
O firs, you never tell me anything,
too proud by half in your
gowns of needles.
That's alright - I'll lay until
the night slips over the line,
and imagine a kind of morning
where I have nothing to tell you either.

As deep calls to deep
Earth to sky
Heart to clearing mind
Clouded atmosphere to crying eyes
So also does my breath in quiet panting
Catch itself within my chest
When you are revealed in celestial being as
And your starlight veil has come to pass

Unkind words don't reflect the person in their current.
They reveal a mirrored truth from the one who casts them.

A compliment gives
confidence to dance
in the rain
of hope.

A small applause has
enough potential to
shoot a star upon the
moon of creative inspiration.

Don't tell someone
"Time heals all wounds"
Instead, tell them
"Time gives you strength to live with your wounds"

Your name in my dreams
Repeating itself over
And over again
Your initials etched
Permanently in my mind
P.S, thick in bold
And nobody here
Will ever figure it out
P.S, that’s your name

For making you love me..
For having secrets..
Telling you partial truths..
Kissing you in all the right places..
Letting you sleep in my arms..
Allowing you to believe in forever..
I'm sorry I embraced every bit of you..
I'm sorry I exploited your caresses
Im sorry I encouraged your dreams to get tangled with the notion of me
I'm sorry I got in your head
I'm sorry I had no plans of staying
PS. You should've known

I've tried to paint a picture
in infinite watercolors
of my beating fist sized muscle
belonging to another soul other than yours
your psyche wraps around mine like smoke
but this thick white smoke
never seems to fade
or get washed away with the brisk winds of summer
