#trespasser
Soul trespasser... You long for splendour... You are one of those who yearns for one-off occasions to chase after you. You’re remembering someone’s secret celebration in a place of strange perfection... A child that partied all night, became their own bartender and private dancer... That unique hotel’s façade declared adventure... But now there is a window to a dark wall of desire. Hungering for some old, solid friend there... You await their return, and when they do, you’re still lingering... wanting their whispers to declare... That this room has the very best view and mirror with you in it... For a life that feeds you more than you can chew... You’ll risk it. Won’t look back on that wardrobe journey... You’ve packed your bags, opened up in a new strange surge of wellbeing. Cobwebs from years of wild, winding worries – clear – As the brightest sun discovers you... On a functional vacation, joining the dots to a person... who no longer needs to fear or hear... or acknowledge you’re there...

Soul Trespasser
I have a sign on my chest that says "trespassers welcome." It's written in red ink, the cheap kind that never really dries and with each new boy that invites himself into my home, the letters become smudged. I try to remove the sign but it remains there etched into my skin and the more I pull at my skin the stronger the pain in my chest grows. Trespassers are only temporary and I pray that one day they will stop reading my body as an open invitation but until that day. My chest will be painted ​red.

Get out of my dreams, nobody invited you here. Don't you know it's rude to barge in uninvited? I forgave you already, why do you keep coming back?
