meemaw hated roses
yet they surrounded her site.
the casket pink and rose gold
an awfully whimsical sight.

meemaw didn't like that song
you played it anyway
you are a liar in her memory
that's why she went away.
The world needs fixing
That much is true
But we can still make it heal
Let's just start with glue

Split it down the middle
Spew the venom 'round the side
It's not perfect, but it'll function
Maybe we're all a little broken inside
I dream of a day when war and suffering is over, where we can finally except our differences and shed light on our mistakes. No judgement. No cruelty. No insecurities.

If only...

dude
scrying into this black screen
illuminated
where life's just a dream

thinking of what i'll say
next to you
while i'm next to you
if it's so complicated
is this really true

shadow's ingress of our hearts
nearly done
only a memory now
is the warmth of the sun

at night we'll dance
we'll spin and curl, we'll twist
extinguished flame
wisp from the candle's wick

no
i dont know you
but we've gone
scar for scar

your words
unhid a future
my light, my love
furious burning star

so bright so warm
so far away
so far i only have these
words to say
but no words can describe
the yearned embrace
toe to toe, hip to hip,
face to face


fever dream fantasies,

take the cells of my brain
lay them down
broken-in dancefloor
i let your
words
rip, tap, spin, clap
when i close my eyes
and sit back


you fan the flames
you fill my heart with fervor


yesterdays feel like summer
today i need you close to keep warm
unfulfilled emotions return
to tease, and torment, and swarm

your brown eyes glow like the full moon
awakens the beast in me
i cant put out these flames
i cant think, i cant stop, i cant sleep
ill follow your scent
intoxicated, so sweet
an instinctual reflex
imprinted far deep

Sudden sparks of light that hit the face right there,
When the eyes are closed and the vehicle is moving somewhere
That is drenched with golden caress of sun, totally bare.

I crave inventing a name for this event, completely pure,
The brain is an association machine, for sure.
"Suddenlight" my mind whispers, no need to feel unsure.

A definition as warm as our scene in my mind that i placed in a golden frame:
Flamecolored we were, in the end we both came,
Certainly, it was a mutual game...
suddenlight (n.)

1. The fleeting sensation of sunlight striking the face and closed eyelids, often while in motion, producing a golden, dreamlike glow.


2. A sudden spark of warmth or clarity felt as if from within.

Rain waits
for clouds
to fall.

Flowers wait
for spring
to bloom.

Heart waits
for someone
to love.

I‘ll call God tomorrow,
maybe,
he‘ll finally pick up.
Feels like a curse
An urge to work for
Getting more and more
Of things I can hardly
Enjoy anymore
I seriously need some vacations...

mind melt
into obscurity
meld mind
into whisps
wisps
wisp
a tiny sliver.
No one will see
the smallest of light for few to view
strike hands
and knives
for all to see
stand naked with
shells in hand
gleam and glean
about the wheat and chaff
make noises til our mother laughs

amid the sea: grey, gold and fire
the embers of waves in twilight
bloom and die and live
in atoms once created
now forgotten
