#quick
waste my days waiting around squinting at the sun praying for clouds so deluded and convoluted disarming and unassuming caught your gaze in the level one pub giggles and drinks as the love drug hits so young and stupid head sprung and illusioned cupid made me fall so quick

Cupid Made
I truly hope that I live long And get to tell a happy tale. I fear death not because I’m sane, But because people would miss me. Love for me is a siren’s song: It draws me in just to derail My life, a barreling freight train, Like God is trying to diss me. Tell me, Dear Reader, am I wrong To sit and cry and write and wail? Every day in so much pain, I just want someone to kiss me. Paris to New York to Hong Kong, So many ships of love to sail. But none could love this modern Cain, This dark, fallen man that is me.

Modern Day Cain
I swore I meant to get baptized you ended up with my head under water, just alittle too long that time and it should be cold instead of hotter. I fight against the rough waves my arms reach out for you instead of splashing. I prefer that method where I’m being saved instead of receiving a verbal thrashing. Rooted in ground, meant to settle down, hiding under the rubble, you’re not Sonic in the bubble. While I’m bound to always maybe poke around believe me I don’t want to cause trouble. I’m not Sonic in the bubble. I’ve always wanted a bigger bath tub she craves to have a yard once more. Everyday I trade both for a back rub you ask “is your body even sore?” I tell her who doesn’t feel some strain and that her hands have always felt healing, infact they cure almost every single pain that I’ve had the misfortune of feeling Hearing no sound, except the counting down too far and deep in a puddle you’re not Sonic in the bubble. A trick I found is to always use a spin pound straight from the knuckle, I’m not Sonic in the bubble. I only want the best chocolate but I won’t pay for it out of pocket, I expect a free taste to know if it’s worth my time. Like picking doors and lockets and sticking your fingers into sockets it’s the type of thrill you don’t want to define.

Labyrinth Zone
Shall we dance a never-ending dance? I don't want our dance to be a ballet dance spinning and losing the opportunity to lose myself in your eyes. I don't want to modernise our dance and forget for a second that your presence is the only place I want to be. I don't want to be hip or hop, letting go of your hands I don't want to tap around you; the noise is killing me. Can I just dwell in your heartbeat, waiting for your words? I don't want to quicken my step only to lose trust in you The only chacha I want to be saying to you when I am addressing you in the Hindi language for it breaks my heart to turn my back on you for a millisecond Yet sometimes I forget that you do not look at the outer appearance or shall ****** you like a Salsa dancer with her lover, but you are too graceful, full of wisdom, and then I think of beautiful, you come to mind. The dance is about us, so Lord, I am listening to what dance you would like to dance with your bride.

Shall We Dance
You taught me a love like I had as I became one with the universe. You taught me like as if I were the sky. Rays between, above as below. I meet with the stars, as the sun settles and the moon blooms Oh sweet prairie, let me lay down In sweet scents and tickles on my face Sweet love like a release of air To be your breath Our breath The breath in between. I long For you.

Lover
Three chests heave- in the dark, Breathing throughout Each exhale. The soundscape adopts a sleepers tone; As the clock's       Tick tock, Counting each second; Becomes infinite- The midnight's metronome Insues...

Another chance
Once upon a time, I willed myself to dream that you'd care if I wore my heart on my sleeve. Ever since, I have. But not for you. I do it for me.

Quick story
the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog and spun a fancy tale about the history of clichés it beat a valiant bush before burning a broken bridge and kicking its own bucket under six feet of foliage now its dead like that horse it beat-- from counting chicks and party tricks to counting sheep and hourly bleats the fox is dead but oh was it quick!

Honesty is a Happy Home
they quietly loomed over you, arms interlocked so you never moved. solemn faces, small, narrowed eyes. you prepared to meet your demise. but one day, their hands slightly shook. that quick movement was all it took. you pushed past those cold, binding arms, embraced confidence, far from harm.

embracing confidence.
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely! She said I am so lonely, lonely, lonely, I  could die. My mouth was dry, There ain't sweetness here in paradise Baby, Baby, baby, baby! She said baby, baby, baby, I  could die. My mouth was dry, But there ain't sweetness here in paradise. Love, love, love, love! Love, love, love, I kissed you hard, My mouth's was dry, There ain't sweetness here in paradise.

in the hall of harmless whims dancing in living words Past experience is not an accurate term, as I define its actu- ality in my re-ality, I see things as fine as can be, fine, which is an idle phrase, I often used to say, was not fine, to the query "how are you?". It was a lump, tiny thing, bit of thought coalescing scing scing sing a bit part in the grand drama, like the dwarf in the 1973 Belridger Orange Orchard Opera, pick it up, maestro HOW AM I? high baritone - softly silly would it be of me - to offer fine as a mindful reply I often used to say, my side is winning. Saying so sincerely, in its etymo-perfect sense, believing, by my own leave - this at those instances, the next word I said was leaven intended to infect and spread, I consistently said to how am I? "My side is winning. " -while deep beneath the surface of the shiny helm, a mirror-neuronic will-ess nanomek sets ess-ential key truth provokers to pierce the lies I belived… In essence we sense leaks Bubbles of being novelize in old bottles, set upright, too quick - cat ch Past experience, knowledge gained sits idle in past-tense, speaking from those moments ago, during the current experience,… Sitting in the shade watching clouds as the least noticed child in my life was noticed by me, he, the middle child of five, Sits down beside me, and says, from "out of the blue",  I really want to be… a marine biologist. He just finished 3rd grade, and the real reason he is near me now, is to ask when he can return to X-box, for the Fortnite upgrade, tic, it begins to emanate, this meta-modern emergence in me of the idea that experience is what we carry, as a load, not sin and shame and blame. I know something of marine biology. I watched My Octopus Teacher, twice. I mention that, to Gabe. I think in my heart, Experiences don't get left behind, they follow us as strands of us, so fine as to be disregarded as memories, until we feel the experience of being eight and being listened to.

So, I say, Live to learn, learn to live. Use the bait you find. Another 21st century bit of Grandfatherly insight, had I gone any other route to now, I can't imagine the riches that are mine, not won, given for aiming early, at a satisfied mind, like my grandpa seemed to have.

I stand and wait for the 115 Or 15 bus to arrive It's cold, I blow an icy vapour with every breath A sea of umbrellas Hoodies Raincoats Dreary faces Longing for freer times since fleeting, since forgotten, since lost Pudless stepped in without hesitation Or avoided with passive agression Like their lives Like ours The water adresses what we can (could) not
