"soots" poems
Regret melts slow, dripping from the side. It feels like skin being tugged against, the impression left from my hand to yours. The anticipation of being patient burns and flickers, excitedly proud to be included. Your back, the wick that stands straight, slowly curving, stretching, releasing tension. Your legs wrapped in mine. If you were to blow too hard, the flame would whoosh, leaving nothing but a puddle. The people we were staring, looking at the mess. The rest of my strength supports your arch, the curled wick that's grown tired against my chest. No matter how you lay, I am comfortable in your wild stretch. Sleep surrounding both of us— I have your back, your heart. The crisp edges of your hair tangled On my head The smoke of desire soots and breathes, dried in a puddle of wax

Puddle of Wax
I knew a rogue gardener who had a peculiar mind and walked as if he had never seen a kind of flowers, fully bloomed, for the sunshine consumed was enough to be happy for the world. Roots soaked in acid rain pump sweet life on through veins faster than the gardener's car, which couldn't get him very far from brilliant potent petal potions bursting plant like a star. I was a super nova spinning 'round when a garden knife cut off the sound. Sitting in vases in a pool of life drinking from a filter and watching you white your head, shoes, and coat although you're quite the antidote. Digging through my secret grave to **** the roots and fight free slaves, quiet, growing 'neath the earth and recognize  what life is worth, is a duty but few will come to do; flee the blind or pay the due. The only difference lies in soil stains because for flowers and master, flowers drink rain, eat sun rays, and bloom again, despite the soil on their roots and sharp edge tools lined in soots held by seeding hands and a heart run with moot points a direction and plants a firm foot. Today I ran the other way and it turned out to be the best day I've had in my life. It may not be right, but I know I'm not wrong, so I'm leaving tonight, tuning out the noise, seeing the sights. Good bye for as long as it takes. Good bye

Good bye
Am I a Man? Or am I a boy? Make the ******* choice! You choose when it soots you. responsibility! Or Naive. You know me as a son. Not a person. So you don't know whats right! I can lawfully move out or have a ****** wife! You lied and said you wouldn't live through your children's lives! I will be here when you need me. but I'm contemplating leaving. perhaps you would appreciate me more if you couldn't see me.
