Waving at you
I close the door
and it's as if
I've lived life twice.
'feel like I've shared this moment with you before.
Maybe I should tell you —
We kissed in the elevator once
and sat in the balcony with old wine in our rented apartment;
you asked me to marry you.
I'm never sure what I said.
Time has been swirly lately —
losing its shape.
I'm giving up
as I make smiles on the car window at dawn.
You have laughed 2468 times,
and fallen in love twice
since I melted
into a pastel drawing.
I think we lived for a longtime,
and made photographs of our
limbs, lunches, birthdays,
paints and wrinkles.
You didn't like sushi and I liked it very much and
we argued a few times.
I apologise,
I've lived life twice.
And you are moving on in this one.
No elevator, balcony, wine.
No photographs, birthdays, wrinkles.
Waving at you
I close the door.

I hear a train is coming
Vibrations on the ground
Speeding down the tracks
Lights flashing all around

I hear the trains heart beating
The whispers in the crowd
Something worth repeating
By someone well renowned

I hear a train is coming
Unmistakable and proud
Man made engineering
Constructed; tightly wound

A whistle in the distance
Without a shadow of a doubt
Driven and persistent
A stop in every town

I feel a train is coming
Powerful and loud
Charging to its destination
Pedal to the ground

Picking up momentum
Towards what the law allows
A spirited conundrum
Inching to the speed of sound

It’s final destination
Over leaps and bounds
Exceeding expectations
With no signs of slowing down

To impeach or not to impeach: that is the question
To bar myself against his merciless beliefs
Or to deal with a worse evil by the name of Pence
His speeches of deportation and his turning of the laws
With his tiny hands and orange face is deplorable, despicable!
The destruction by the racist himself to LGBT+’s civil rights
Has wrought havoc for the transgendered, has instilled fear into us
To impeach or to keep
Pence, a sidekick, a partner in crime to the man in question, a worse evil
Hatred of us, boiling beneath his republican skin
Conversion therapy becoming an option, scarring and scaring the youths
Homophobia on the rise after the biggest triumph for us
Laws passed in June of 2015 no longer holding meaning
This man spreading his opinions to the new generations
To keep Mr. Trump would save us from a meaner man
But what would save us from the man who helped make America racist again?
There’s misogyny, bigotry, and racism filling the office
Violence, arrogance and white supremacy filling our country
Supported by Russia, the KKK, and racist republicans
Trump has taken this land into violence, fear, and hatred of one another
He has made public shaming against those with disabilities appropriate
And his voters have accepted this America as a great one
People are beginning to revert back to their prior nativism views
But to us Pence is a worse evil
Threats, pain, and fear still running deep within our communities
Shootings, violence, and property damage are just to name a few
Running rampant in our communities, egged on by this Vice President
Though Lord Voldemort may be terrible
Behind him is a line of Red Racist Bigots to replace him
Due to this, the Evil Man will have to be kept
And impeaching cannot take place

Every once
in a while
I would take
off my body
and wear her.
I never looked better.

'Without' slits joys. Mine.
The kite is a paper
on the field
Without the thread.
With effects
it hops and falls.
The steering is
For the vehicle.
You understand it well.
Without you, me a phrase.
Complement me.
When do stars shimmer
Without darkness?
Where do fruit
Come to life
Without trees?
'Without' suffocate thee, too.
Be the wings I long to fly.

You were the dimlit star
I am trying to reach.

You've lost much
of your glow
how I wish
my light would reach you, and
teach you
     that in life
you're ever so beautiful.

How the harsh words of the world
barricades you soft spoken heart
into stones.
