Long Paperclips Poems

What I seek from you can not be found,
Its an overbooked story with an aim too high,
A dream too hopeful to overcome your lie, 
Written in tears meant to salt the ground.

Would be better to...

Some have the right to bear arms 
But I appreciate pens rather then commotions,
 Homicides, aiding in brawls,
 Or in middle class genocides
, car alarms, sirens in the distant horizon
 Of my suburban neighborhood
 Hearing...

Sometimes I miss you more than ever
Seeing sunsets or paperclips
Seeing things you wouldve loved and not being able to tell you about it
I know you weren't the best
But at least you tried
Tried your best untill...

Recepticle:  One of a kind

It was a thoughtful gift
in the shape of her heart

Symbolic inscription-
"Love's Everlasting Hopes"
kept next to the front door
In shadow, in half-light.

She kept her car keys there.
Small change, new receipts

I was cleaning my room tonight  
and came across a guitar pick,
one of your used.
		
A further search 
among broken staple cartridges,
multi-colored plastic coated 
and classic metal paperclips and 
pennies, produced

digging through postage stamps and paperclips

“And they’re moving, across the...

Tonight's episode...  
When rumor meets reality, 
what truth shall shake loose 
as your body surrenders
 to temptation rising? 
Resolved to perform
 interrogations and coercions
 that land on agreeable moments. 
Snapping like orchestrated jazz 
and...

-What do you really want?
        I've told you, I don't know!
-But you do, don't lie to me!
        No, I promise, I...

We often have crazy hair day at school
To raise money for puppies, or wigs, or people who need a fresh start.
People do all kinds of things to their hair.
Mine is already crazy, it is fly...

We read each other so perfectly
two minds with a single thought,
when we combine, baby it's explosive
chemistry like ours cannot be taught.

The electricity gets me jumping
and attacks the heart's beat,
this experiment you concocted
has revived the frog's...

CHANGELING

photos strike me and
everything
is beautiful… I find books
mark passages with pencils
pens and paperclips
all blue a
favourite color


into the bathroom
shut the door  
locked it twice
adjusted water
red the hue

the knocking
commenced felt
intense   faded
into a backward hum
