her eyes wide upon pupils dilated...

Can’t sleep because I’m hopeless
You got to save me from myself, my restful dear
You are asleep in your melodic, swaying chandelier

Prayers please……

The sun...

by each seed that sticks (somehow) in less stone-filled ground
(which its siblings blow off or press past). That’s less luck
to my brain...

You raise me up above the mountains
You bring me below the vibrant valleys
You allow me to weep happy fountains 
When I walk in your bright alleys

Enormous in envy my heart is
Nervouscited for what lies ahead...fed...

Who wrote the book of love
Why do fools fall in love
You Can't Hurry Love
You can if you're making it

Love Me Like A Hurrcane
And bow...

wasn't with nobody
My pockets were full
and my heart was on call
I was dressed to the nines,

She, the queen of glamour, they say,
Loves making things flow her way.
Fortunate she was, having earned 
A prince as he, so delectable,
Amidst the beauty of hills,
He made her, the dream castle.
As lovingly, She delivered to...

On the wall a poster of Chipperfield Circus whom she had wanted to join

Dear future wife that will love me all my life,

Underrated hate
Overrated love
Rated R for Recovery
Ain't it loverly? 
What's wrong with being prideful?
What's wrong with being wonderful?

Wherever the winter falls,
upon snowflakes of a frozen saudade ~
rising from the flares
of maple-gold and copper,
I waltz in lilac lanes of petrified pigments,
imperfectly splattered by impure poppies ~

When alabaster twilights 
rain upon celestial roses,
with tear-soaked trinkets 
of ancient aromas ~
I wear their amaranth scents 
upon acrylic wrists, 
and tie my terracotta threads
of twinkling trust
with those topaz ribbons 
of reminiscent tales, 
slowly floating...

Stimulated off of asphyxiation 
Chortling silence kills me alive

Spinning, sad cuz...

Once there had been a comet a rising star lighting up my...
