and you head **** into a poem, built like a barrier, in the mid of morning’s pre dawn night, when supreme silence magnifies every isolated and isolatable all the lonely individual lip smacked wordy utterances of a a specific isotopic a-glowing, almost luminous, poem, a pockmarking world of human words, all springing, illuminating within the midst of 20K of a cohort of mostly sleeping souls in a single neighborhood, assembled of, upon, in/on a singular Manhattan city block, and you scream out HOT **** in your silence and silencing main brain, for you’re stopped, blockaded, and much to your own surprise, these words, you !wrote, self declaring themselves finale finished done and you place your ten fingered writing utensil on your rising & falling chest mouthing only Amen~A Man~You~Man

Thank you.
Ty Can i see California in your eyes? I ask myself all the time Clear skies and a bright horizon Or just stay at home, watch attack on titan Palm trees and long leaves, how I’d dream of your Caribbean By any means, do anything, and go round and round just swimming in Can the beautiful sunset land your kiss upon my lips Can i soak my hands in the west coast water that is your hips May i have the honor to bathe in the sun that is your gaze May i please have you all to myself and with no refrain Could you mimic the ocean and rock me to sleep Or could you mimic my thoughts and desire, desire, please desire to be with me?

i don't like loving you because you are so flawlessly human. you breathe like anyone else, with faults, & rough edges, and your face isn't karmic, (like his was) our connection isn't fate, (i don't have the heart to believe in such whimsical ideals anymore) we're just having fun, for the time, for the night, for the moment, your curls lace my fingertips to your scalp grounded with no fantasy. i don't like the meandering of my soul right now, i like you, i like enjoying this, but i don't like the aimlessness of this: i miss karma, and spirits, and souls i am tragic & this love is too sane

I’ve never looked out and saw a man who looked like all he wanted was affection I’ve never looked out and saw a heart I thought I might enjoy but eventually break because I think I need more than affection I need a twin a friend a thousand times before I need a lover That kid is beautiful Hey But he’s not calling me higher

(sonnet #MMMMMDXXXVIII) Now moonlight glances in to splash from hence My silent comforter, then floor, its pale Eye keener than aught voiceless notice, frail Calm frozen in reply with snow's pretense Beyond these darkened hours, as if the sense Ere waltzing through a pegged load on th'exhale Which fingered jonquil nubbins like green's bail Is gone as swiftly as our love's defense. Oh Tyler!  I could never dream as twere Of all you held in soulmate, bashert to A breathless fault, whom none compare to, poor As saying is.  You were all and more, aye knew Me better than I dared to think, and your Love in my veins, though dead, I love you too. 22Mar16a

Why Did You Hafta DIE?
We call ourselves the reckless youth Trying to figure out where we are and where we’re planning on going With lyrics tucked under our tongues that say more than our voices ever will Where sleepless nights cause purple crescents to appear under our eyes And replay words from past days through and through our heads ***** We call ourselves the reckless youth Looking at the world through maroon eyes With empty alcohol bottles that we clench onto with our warm sticky palms And the sheet-ropes we make to climb out of the windows at 3 in the morning Dealing with the voices and uncertainties of tomorrow Wondering whether we will wake up inside of our beds smelling of lavender Or in a field sprawled out among other teenage bodies reeking of beer ***** We call ourselves the reckless youth With the memories of Christmas lights that are over-expired That brought kisses that won't mean a thing to anyone as morning brings massive headaches Because worthless kisses are now more valuable to us Then the ones our parents now forget to give ***** We call ourselves the reckless youth Because our generation is made up of lost souls And scars that line the insides and outsides of our bodies The same scars that we hide behind smiles and stories that swim in our heads This is our disease and it is contagious Coming with the temptation of sneaking out to the flowers that grow around campfires And the reminiscences of lust still stuck to the grass like dew Ghosts of the lingering fingers that caressed the parts we’ve hidden from society ***** We call ourselves the reckless youth Our lives making up pages in a novel that consist of skinny jeans and over-sized sweatshirts Of the promise that we’ll see better days And the sun that is still trying to be shielded with broken sunglasses Tan lines from 7 am runs because the voices in our heads are way too loud ***** We call ourselves the reckless youth Addicted to computer screens and turning away only to measure our waists Ignoring the constant fire outside our door Deciding to stay inside a burning house instead of running to safety Here we continue to try and create something new A life of fantasy where there will be use of different flames To destroy all of the memories of reality Because we are misused Misjudged ***** We call ourselves reckless Not because we aren’t wise But because our wisdom comes in different forms Like the tidal waves of people crashing upon us Who tell us we are not good enough And the words that continue to build inside our bones Yet we know that these flowers braided in our hair Will forever be worth more than the diamonds that line their clothes ***** We call ourselves the reckless youth When the adults tell us no But we insist on saying yes Because it’s not that we are afraid of death We are afraid of living Here in this pace where we’ll be dead Far before we have the chance to live ***** And maybe we are wasting our time Though time is a luxury we cannot yet afford So we will continue to climb out windows Sneak through back doors Where we then strip our bodies of the loosely fitted clothes Quickly dipping our naked frames under the cold water Forgetting what has made us tired What made us upset Which come with the wilting petals of all the things we did wrong All the regrets we cannot take back ***** We call ourselves the reckless youth When we watch the black sky and its stars well past midnight And look for the familiar sight of home within the walls of our imagination Where reality slips into a blur of pink and orange clouds ***** We don’t call ourselves reckless Because we decided to escape reality, ourselves and society And blow out clouds of ***** air from deep within our lungs Or burn holes in our throats from fermentation We are the reckless youth Because we chose to be wise To be strong To be infinite

Its comical how Ive never written about The sweetest times of my life Like the trip to Hatteras With the abandoned golf course And the hours of skating down The newly paved road And the boys who provided Some of the greatest smiles there will be With the small geese Which we provided bread And the 4th of July fireworks With the sun-kissed skin of my best friend and I Or the newer trips At my house with the loft And the 4 mile ride to the beach With the divot where there were hours Of my boy and I talking And kissing And eating The love and music And kicking his *** at every game Its comical how I cannot seem to write everything down on paper But I can relive every moment of them Each night in my dreams

youre not my first love but when i think about 10 years from now all i see is you; where? i cannot answer; but would it really matter? **** no; youre my home youre my everything; i am so deeply, terrifyingly in love with you i cannot even let my mind wander to the what if's of our unknowns; i just want to flow with you to the darkest corners and the lightest; you brighten my life shining through my skin and illuminating everything around me; anywhere you go i swear i will follow; this is a love from the story books and i dont think i could ask for any diction any detail to be different; your soul is pure and i am so in love; i will prove this to you i swear it every day i live i am in love with you

the thought of our creation moving, growing within me makes me ache with thoughts of the future and although i am young, and there are so many complications i cannot help but imagine and daydream of the day with your hand on my belly, all engorged like a melon, with the tiny kicks of tiny feet that are just waiting to say hello
