...To touch you,
       two souls.
 Too much to take.

You took me to the stars, 
        I took you. 

     Supernovas 
        detonate,
     synchronized  
       on impact. 

I took you ...

Ultima Thule

...“Do you know where hell is?”
Lee Marvin growls in headsets.
New Year, sixty-eight.
Hauling freight ten thousand high,
bomber out of Platts, NY,
is cruising over white.
“Far out,” (someone on in...

Feel like I have been locked out from heavens gates, the screaming so internally bloating, my veins turns green, could I be internally bleeding?

Ghosts in the silence

...I wake each morning with the ghost of yesterday,
Its cold breath on my neck,
Its weight on my chest.
The dawn feels like a mockery,
Another day to relive what I couldn’t forget.

I love you—

...True blue, you’re my celestial highway, 
a jaw dropping road trip to the Moon;
With just one glance my insides flutter,
I can see a place I’ve never been;

A jaw dropping road trip to the Moon,

Admit

...Need some solid ground, can’t afford the cement
The view is a bit blurry, need to defragment
Write it all down, and be sure to document
Everything is out of place, I need to find a better arrangem...

He slept for sixty years
  then woke up with a start

Ghettos still all filled with blacks

               So 
        fashioned with 
         intrepidation;
I’m a strawberry time bomb;

Unstable means go harder;
    Gunpowder in hand

over his own flying weight.
He recalls the ease
of running effortlessly…the dopamine highs.

His toes are earth-pushing landmines,
his elastic ankles are circa 1980’s...

His boredom conquered discipline again;
a bridge thus built has no one else to blame.
A blazing dumpster fire bloomed from within,
like breathing, birth unnoticed when it came.

Some things are caught on thorny thoughts 
Sometimes I radiate and deviate as thoughts linger

I bleed icy dreams

...Could I, should I, and may I?
You are my poetry. I am in love with his present, that my future longs for. 
My poetry is you, pale love.

Your giddy eyes mesmerize me, your plump lips catch my att...

Celestial Symbiosis

...Two orbiting stars round a center of mass
that’s common to both in the scheme
