Ill take the view of your eyes
over a scenic ocean view any day.

Once upon a time: In the garden
Symbols embodied within forms of reason
Determined the limits to our liberation

a lone showman amidst a crowd
stands raised on a pedestal;
he wears a hat,
its brim is lined with bells,
and on the top rests a newly bursting lily-fibrous stalks of nescient life
intertwining with felt and chime alike.  

raising high his flowered cap
he remorsefully disclaims
“you once ate the sun!”
but these words are ignored.
the crude ringing of the chimes
is the only sound that brings applause.

i drowned once and to this day i still struggle to come up for air.

Forgive me of my skepticism
As I find it hard to believe
That someone will actually
Love me
For me
There is no sadness within that thought
Occasionally, I've found myself at ease
Thinking that I'll only have to talk to me
