The conservatives are oppressors
They fear any disorder
My love and I, moonlit sky
Somewhere Across the Border

My life is very boring
I eat a tuna sub
My dad has been singing
At his local club

I've been to museums
I've been on the Mall
Took the train from London
River Eden, Wetheral

Wedding in Tel Aviv
And one in Tokyo
The Buddha sits in silence
Kamakura snow

Ay yay yay yo!

dawns first conquest

exiting Winter sailing the light
a wave expanding each day
eating up the black night
dawns first conquest replayed
and replayed until times end.

angry motivation

when I was angry, I was unstoppable
with fire in my veins I felt like I could move mountains if I just believed it hard enough
I was so capable
and so delicate
I was so scared
and so strong
when I was mad, I was motivated
with pain came beautiful triumphs
I was so ashamed
and so proud
I was so embarrassed
and so confident
when I am not angry anymore, I am incapable
without fire in my soul, I don’t believe I can get up out of bed
I am so happy
and so sad
I am so comfortable
and so confused

the lost boy

you said
we were a destined love
just right person
wrong time
and so i loved you
in that space between
sleep and awake
where the weight of your kiss
still lingered
like peter losing wendy
wondering just how long
i was meant to wait
for you
to come back to me.

Qualyxian Quest 10m

No one important
Lots of time alone
I wish I was a shaman
I threw a Rolling Stone

I've been to Canada
Two Blue Jays games
Stanley Park, Vancouver
She is my secret flame

The American right is wrong
They call the National Guard
Tents in the forest
Tents in the yard

Hope for Chicago
Leonard Cohen in Montreal
The unimaginable zero summer
Then the Charlotte Fall

Right y'all?

Slip of the tongue

~

“You’re special to me”

The words falling from my mouth before the rational part of me could catch it

Silence aches

“I’m kind of curious to why that is”

Brimming on the tip of my tongue, I almost utter the words

“Because I love you”

Instead I nervously laugh and respond with an abrupt

“No”

Thankfully you return with the same laugh

“Thought you’d say that”

~

Urgh why am I like this
