Shāhāh me gentle tender שָׁהָה linger in the rising sun Belay in us-longer than necessary-laugh-just for fun, Tarry in me stretch us in out I'm learning your name We choose to stay remain no pushing different same Gaze upon your Beauty, Lord, linger in your temple, It's complicated no rush just stay don't hurry simple, You don't have to worry--slow with me--stay--delay, Make it up as you stay, we are, to you, ever in a day, In a wide awake--we stay to play--in our own world I pay attention to you, calm, centered in you, curled, Sometimes the kindest meaning drips, chew the cud Wallow in the swallow-stillness-let the mud be mud.

Linger in the Rising
we kept kindling wood, when we caught a burst of flare we never stopped until we became fire itself and love found a dwelling place in us.

Intellectual suicide.
and as i wept the glowing embers continued to smolder and sing tendrils curling up into the starry sky reaching, dancing, dissipating gently kissing the freckled face of the night sky i looked to you and saw a path untouched by pain yet ravaged by regrets as i reached out into the blind night for your cold embrace i was met with a chill of the evening that shook me to my brittle core “where are you now?” Once met with silence i turned my face to the heavens and prayed for warmths return after a night of solace and ingratitude, the suns light filters down through the whispering woods and says, “you will never be truly alone.”

Shhh...
Hi. You know me. You've known me for years. Despite all of this, I feel like you don't know me. Or I you. I have long admired you, Looked up to you, Apreciated you. But it wasn't 'till puberty hit, That I actually took a good look at you. You'd grown up. Mentally and physically. Quite handsome in fact. We've known each other for years. Since we were just toddlers. But I'd never thought of you like that. As someone more than a friend. More than a brother. I honestly don't know if you like me, And though your flirting is terrible, I can't tell if it's practice or for real. But I wanted you to know The world to know; That I like you. A lot. And I wanted the world to know, Before you do.

Itch
I've been listening   Not to the sounds       To the silence          Not of the beauty            Of the sadness               And I can tell                       It screams.

George isn't playing nice tonight. I'm not willing to put up a fight. I'll be destroyed by morning light.

Shut Up, Me
Steven Hezeki Andre.. Have all abused my love and made me into this cold person, hey I won't give them all the credit maybe it's something I've always possessed. Maybe I've always been this person and I just had to get stabbed alittle for it to become apparent. Xavier Vulnerability was at is finest. Who would've thought I'd let just anyone get a piece of me, like I'm one of those random mints that always end up in your possession, and somehow you don't work to obtain this candy it just comes and happens to get the job done and I am one to blame for thinking at a point of time it was okay. Jamal I feel bad for what I've done to you, and my karma probably awaits but I was bored with you..couldn't help it but at one point I was intrigued by your demeanor but like I said I was bored with you...and my karma probably arrived with Chris I hate free trials. They get you all excited about a game that your so anxious to play and while your enjoying it they tell you your time is up. You can't play anymore unless you sell your soul (buy the game) and once that ad pops up you question is the game even worth it. You wanted my ***** I wanted you to be mine..even risked a friendship for who knows what...karma proved to be a ***** but like you say love is love. Tony You genuinely made me laugh. But my heart was too cold and and too unsure to ever settle down with you because I am not for sell. You wanted me to be your African queen, but you forgot that an a queen is still a queen without a king. So karma might have missed me because for the first time in a long time I followed my intuition and didn't allow you to force commitment on my plate.. which is a good thing because now I have DAQUAN.. All started with a Dm......a ************* twitter Dm....so far nothing is regretted, I hope your as genuine as you come across. I like you. My cold heart likes you hopefully it stays this way...

Because I wanted to be the shade of lace that hugged at my arcs and ridges, blushing deeper as you peeled it away from my skin. Maroon, because it painted the the constellation,carefully planted down my spine and coloured the speckles of tiny stars, huddling beneath the fortress of my jaw, while the others were lost, but cradled safely in the dimple of my collar bones.

Maroon
They don't know I smile knowing this but inside I burn in despair Conflicted, I find myself staring at my shadow I wish they knew I wish they didn't Its the "what comes after" that causes me to hide inside my fragile skin Its the "what if" that has my heart throbbing For now the lights will be off and when you come looking for answers, I won't be home

Secrets
My finger tips is as cold as the heat of hell, Inhaling and Exhaling chemicals that is running through my veins into my brain, i call it anchor, heavy as it is. a secret i share… "i write when i'm choking.." Shhh.. , the word of silence and a verb of order to keep the darkest secrets.      welcome to wonderland.
