He loves

A child wishes.
The trees; they sway
with a subtle swish

To be amazed.
Torn apart,
thorn from thistle,
and sifted through the wind.

The East feels her gaze
and He sweeps the clouds aside.
The skies are set ablaze.

cannabis

he held my hips and i watched his eyes
lips on lips
bodies pursed upright, we breathed

sounds and lights
hectic in my head
the fog claimed me

what came next, i'll never know
but the feelings
first, warm and sweet
turned soon to cold and bleak

this is all happiness is
this is all love is

i floated next to him
then he let me go
i drifted away
for no one to ever know

but this is all i know

Eater

unwanted upon arrival
i grow, i thrive
never to be desired
dead nor alive

i will not remain
force me out
a burden, a greivence
abiding by my relentless route

sunset heart

farewell salty sea water
the sun bids you adieux
the moon takes the tides
and with it
the waves say goodnight

Cancer

Sleeping where your heart lay
The last night you survived
The ghostly image entombing my mind
Closing my eyes
Did you know what it did to me?
Time passes, adding distance between us
I now walk in an unfamiliar place
I miss seeing your wrinkled face
The smile, plastered there by me
Your scent remains no longer
but the empty air weighs stronger
Standing where you left me behind
I looked into that room you lay
I stood, wept, and relived that night.

From Pablo with love

Love Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda
I do not love you as if you were a salt rose, or topaz
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

A&O

I am day and night
With you through dark and light
Unchanging. Unnmovable
There is none like me
However no rarity
For I am everywhere
Can't see me, can't touch me
Yet I'm closer to you than anything has ever been
But you keep me at distance
As you sleep I stay
As you wake I stay
I speak and it is
I think and it is done
You take, I give
Even as a flower dries in the sun
You can fade like the cloud covered moon
I give life and I take life
As easily as it is, it was
Blink once
And I can seen a million lifetimes
I bless and curse
I sow, I reap
I am peace and rath
I am known and imfamous
I am loud and soft
I am your safety and your fear
I am past and future
I am begining and end
I am alive, but I was not born.
