Paradise

I fell asleep in an atom,
woke up in a world

that was not mine

but ours.

Lost Poem

To who do I write this? 
To what god's feet do I carry my load
and demand a refund?
Is my poetry just cries of lonely entity
and just like me
it's swiped off from the canvas?
To who do I do this
in this mortal fury of mine,
in hope a stain that I leave behind?
Perhaps one lost poem with faded words,
and the beginning of my name
something
in this cruel morning of nothing.

Press Play

I have your skin cells under my nails,
a patch of hair between my fingers

your scent clouds me, like paradise wrapped around eve

our bath water is yellow and beautiful,
I close my eyes, 

press play

can you hear the music of our kisses?

Hollow

Your grand journey on air
ends up as torn butterfly wings,

slowly falling ashes.

Remember this,
death lives in your cavities

you are hollow.

To Be This Human

To be this human

made from stardust

coughed into life

carved hollow to hold the heaviness of being.

To be this 

dot

among dots

comes with questions.

If Only

If only

I could color the darkness

nod and smile, understand it.

If only

I could squint and see my path

not beg

every breath to be my humane euthanasia.

If only

I could be less afraid

made of grander things

than the pebble that is my soul.

If only 

I could burst the bubble I occupy,

instead of being

I could not be.

Is that an option I can have?

Dreams

My dreams

do you dream your dreams?

Of butterflies on mountain peaks

and skies with lashes staring back at you,

of halos that fall off my head

maybe

dark places with teeth wide open,

ink bottles dining behind my eyeballs.


My dreams

what do you dream in dreaminess?

Perhaps

about aches the ocean feels

sunsets in the eyes of flies,

could it be

about the wonderful lights

rays coming from me.

Shadow Maker

Vibration

ink stain,

a blink of an eye.

I am

a shadow maker

dreams and intercepting lines.

Bad Day

Someone paints over a masterpiece,

a funeral crashes a wedding,

our love slips on a banana peel,

and clouds get into my eyes.
