Sneezing again, Somewhat lost control over me. Again. And now the seasons changed, Summer’s walking out on me. Again. The nicotine chain, Forcing down another twenty. Again. Wheezing refrain, I feel the rain pouring down on me. Yet again. Reminisce again of the roof above, Something that once held over me. But the sky now drops tears, Joyless tears, Again. Love washed over me. Again. Pointlessly...

I just want to be loved, For however long it lasts, It’s enough, I just need someone to lift me out of the mud. I just want to be loved, Even for five minutes, Passed over, I’m fine with being lost in the flood. I just want to be loved, For however long it lasts, It’s...

To a future Lover
I am watching 3 inches off of the floor, The man outside waits at my door I know the screams from within the box Howl and call upon your order upon the rocks But I know you can hold your tongue 'till the end of the night And I know you can wait until I seem right. Feel your spite,...

Tonight, I won’t write anything at all… I’m throwing in my quill,—who am I fooling?— I’m throwing in my keyboard, overruling my instinct for seriousness,—o how small and earnestly banal…/I mean!, the gall of an Artiste not sat at home drooling on their craft and crafting another grueling chef-d’œuvre,—Bah!—leave that to the alcohol!— —@-tack your ’s-periment__’n’|defend| mine own: for the[object]of this{subject} is Anihilating your nothingness....

You - Apr 10
I woke this morning, lying next to you; Contemplating your thighs, your breasts, your face, as you still slept at rest in a dream’s embrace, my eyes all over your fair features flew… I lingered here and there—a glance askew caught subtle movements in that furtive place beneath your eyelids, wondering what chase your soul pursued in the other blue… You then...

Hard drugs under the sunshine, Like feeling sick with a ‘get well soon’ sticker. I’m gonna get what I said, Sicker, Sucks. I wonder why I’m even still alive, I feel like the ceiling and the room’s spinning. Life’s tough enough living, I blunder blind through the nights, When I feel like healing I come...

Doubt - Mar 10
To draw the string back, with a notched arrow, To sense the taut twine pull against and test The strength of stiffed up shoulders and flexed chest— But not to loose the arrow at the sparrow; To aim, to wait, to track through the narrow Cracks between webbed branches, to feel one’s breast Beating boldly, and breath deep, slowed, suppressed—...
