The little thing's I do not share,
the little things I keep inside.

To hear you sing to your car radio,
to hear your passion,
to watch you drive.
As the lights of the rode caress your face,
I see your eyes flicker to me,
and you make a sidewise smile as you notice my gaze.

I study you,
like I do the **** models I draw for hours on end.
Memorizing every curve,
every dip,
every line.

When you tell me you love me you don't just with your lips,
but with your eyes,
with your body,
with your sole.

I feel as we are intertwined under the covers our sole are somehow combined.
Like hydrogen and oxygen we create life,
like potassium permanganate and glycerol we ignite
like Potassium Chlorate and Sulfur we explode into a show so stunning it lights up the faces of everyone around us.

Your kiss,
when the world is swirling around us and I make myself sick with worry,
you can make it stop.
You hold my face in my hands and keep everything else out,
if just for a second,
we're alone.

When you look at me with the saddest eye to ever grace this Earth,
I do not wonder why you worry,
but I wonder what would ever make you think I would leave,
I could leave.
Yet sometimes I worry the same.

You,
with all of your love.

You,
with all of your flaws.

You sometimes forget how to "relationship,"
but you never forget me.

You,
you hit walls when your angry,
but I will always be here to bandage your wounds.

You,
sometimes can't vocalise everything you mean properly,
but you don't need to,
because I know,
and I feel it too.

You,
run off and get yourself in so much trouble,
but I keep you in line,
and you teach me how to step outside them sometimes.

These little thing I take note of and never share,
I wonder what little things you keep of me.
Just another cheesy love poem written in the odd hours of the morning.

Deep grit.
Fine, fine tacks.

Over-heated night.
My face, the light.

The glass points at me.
Musk and moonflowers.

I throb to the beat
Of a glycerol heat
That keeps coming
And going and coming.

Ethylene glycerol

Alike your fatal attraction

Poisonous and detrimental

to your being not your

Regular seeking of satisfaction

I ask God for compassion

Don’t let me be the distraction

That drags to rags and attracts you

Virulent I am toxic

that residue that builds up

Your feelings and rip them out

Merciless and laugh at your passion

I am not who you beautifully

naively believe me to be

I am Nicotine.

I’m addictive and

your reaction is to

Take me in

I warn for you

To breathe me out

my ashes  

Burning your inner proud

I smoked

You in and spit you out with satisfaction

I’m your assassin imagine me killing

Your every interaction

Ignore you when you

just tried to be my companion

I abandoned you handsome

Avoided the expansion of my feelings

For a random

Deadly

you were familiar

And maybe too good to be true

I allowed your feelings to wrap

What i needed

I dreamt of the killing

noxious

While leaving I saw you

kneeling asking for forgiveness

When I was the one to fill your demons

With greetings revealing

That I was just a deadly

drug not what you needed

And didn’t intervene just proceeded.

the red glow, gentle, not as vertiginous as the air,
is saved only by its ethereal nature
from being swept up into the churning night.

it is this same nature that condemns it to
suffuse into the blooming blue lambency-
which is now green. and now peach.

even feigning surprise becomes impossible
in this place of transmutation
when examined by the soul

those with physical forms are not spared either
but some are more mutable than others:

peach juice, for example, ripens with glycerol, and relinquishes
its color when it diffuses into wine
which holds its color, no matter the light
and will seep through fabric, when conditions are right
like every other form of nectar here

so be free of it, drop it all on the ground
making little mounds of cloth, little
mole-hills in the dark

which blend less, but
black-and-white houndstooth
perfectly matches a brown
Birkenstock (or bag) in our own
personal heaven.

Glass seeing through glass
Is it as clear though?
Cannot see through this facade
Since I am the facade
These prism of spectacles are all part of me
You are easy to hook
Since you are an open book
Now you are fully booked
And I am overlooked
But what about us, microorganisms?
They say if you can read people
Then you are unreadable
Predict the unpredictable
Just another floater in the eye
Until it was just a dusted sparksfly
Interconnection
Macro up to micro concoction
Yet why are we in disconnection?
I wish to disconnect from the world in peace
But you want to connect to me
Who are you
What the readers are thinking too
Do not need a metaphor that we are in the same class
No science can explain
The human field and brain
In this world of ecosystem chain
Eat me as main
Why do I always have to fall in love those who I can only see through the window
I am the type who never leave the  shadows
No matter what I do, I will just end up being a widow in a wide meadow
Sleep to the glades until they are just fleece and eaten by my kind of fleas
A specimen to all these hungry men
I am just as absolute zero as the bacteria glycerol stock
What to do when I am born to be stuck in that flock
Do we exist like water and rock
Or are you and your significant one co-exist like that?
Thundershock at the aftershock
Of you two drying up together
Came the realization that there is after laughter
I am complicated and I hate it
I am complicated and I hate it
Space for this antimatter
For you are what matters
Or else we are tested by scientists
During this niche
And then by mentalists, instrumentalists...
Wonder if you will wait for me
Serve me as the last dish
In your petri dish
Perish might that wish
Until I do not last
