she pins stars to the ceiling of my dreams ☉ and makes milkshakes of meteor dust and moonshine ☉ in my day, she sleeps swaddled in a billowing blue counterpane of boundless reflection ☉ in my night, she dances a path to eternity ☉ leaving me breathless and in awe of her spiralling splendour
‘That is where my dearest and brightest dreams have ranged — to hear for the duration of a heartbeat the universe and the totality of life
in its mysterious, innate harmony.’
- Hermann Hesse, Gertrude
A star that shines
A flower that blooms
When birds sing
And the wind grooms
It reminds you
That you are one of a kind
The sky is the same
And so is space and time
But there you are
So unique and beautiful
And you can fight it all
If you realize
That you are a storm
In the face of this night
And you shine brighter than
sunlight!
Shine!
Today I saw a giant tub of whipped cream
Spilled across the morning sky.
You may call them clouds, I call them cream.

Today I saw a tiny hummingbird
Taking very careful inventory
Of the blossoms on a tree.

Today I saw two squadrons
Of black birds on a secret mission
Across the dawning sky.

Today I saw the waxing moon
Refusing to call it a night
By lurking on the horizon.

Today I saw me looking up
To marvel at the gifts I’m given
For merely raising up my eyes.
            ljm
To look is not always to see.
You cerebral might be blown
When I talk my **** in lyrical form
To this world, I don't conform
I am a unicorn in the human form
Just getting rid of some itchiness to rhyme
My handwriting was so ugly,
I practiced it day and night

I wanted to become a doctor y’see.
A doctor with a fine hand.

My handwriting became so good,
I became a Writer instead.

Now
I Type!

i look at the moon and think of you
so distant
the moon could’ve touched you
before i did
