I say I don't like you
         Try to convince myself the feelings are gone
Pretend to be okay with all of this

         Then I watch you run
Your fingers through your hair
         And my heart drops

Never trust a Scot. They ruined Scotland.

Never trust a Scot. They ruined Scotland.

There are jackals outside
The candle died and the clock mourned her
There are things we will never tell one another
Truth is a murderer of many things
The cat fell asleep on top of the pizza box
I still ate it
The pizza
What would happen to the light in your eyes
If you knew
Would they, could they get brighter
Or would they fade to black
Like we did
There are jackals outside
And I’m going out there

Tombstone to anonymous

A Beloved father, a loving husband,
A kind brother, a perfect son.
You've left a Dad-Shaped, a Spouse-Shaped,
Sibling-Shaped, Boy-Shaped
Hole in the Sky.

Almost...

Almost...

I wanted to be your part
so desperately
that I almost lost
my wholeness.

Repostería Poética

Repostería Poética

Butter-baste in haste
For better poet-taste
Reposting pastry
Poet-tastery
Pronounced as mastery:
Poetastery

Past repast
It goes down fast
Poetic firsts shall be last
Lyrically-paced
Poetry-based
Poetry's straitjacket, unlaced
Lack of meaning showcased

I just vomited it up
(for your erudite perusal)

*** I'm like SO totally embarrassed.
Just found out how "poetastery" is actually pronounced.
I'm all LOL just like ***.
Fer reelz. ☺♪☻☺☻ ♪♫

I think of you

I think of you

I think of you
Your back against my chest
Breathing softly

I close my eyes
And listen, wide awake
For your heart beat

I breath in
Slowly, the musky smell
Full of lost memories

I mummble in my sleep
Gently, almost silent,
Wishing you Goodnight...

I weake up,
Dazed, and for a monent
You are still here

On loving with an open heart

On loving with an open heart

It hurts.
But still I will pray
that one day someone will take
this tender heart.
They will take it
and love it with the same intensity.
