Can you feel the endless plight?
Constantly twisting and turning in thai endless night
Come closer it whispers
Cold hands wrapping i’m starting to blister
Choices have been made
Can’t you come to my aid?
Claustrophobia is closing in
Carcasses of my rotting sin
Come save me
Come help me
Come please...
Miasma above will cling to our love.
Match each movement, am I _enough_?
Mesmerized by your sardonic eyes—
murky and mysterious—
_my demise_.
“Men will come and men will go,”
More I say, less I know.
Minds apart in a slicing flow,
Motion halts in a violent kiss,
My mantra is this:
Make me bleed… let it show.
Make me bleed…I won’t say ...
Chocolate and candies,
Cats purring loudly,
Candles unburdened
Could it be Love?
Courage unbound
Crystal clear truths,
Clouds shaped like tears,
Could it be You?
Castles of sand,
Cupcakes too sweet,
Coffee in bed,
Could it be me?
Cities that burn!
Circus of death!
Cars hitting walls!
Could it be War?
Crying for help
Cruel as the dark,
Compassion that saves,
Could it be Life?
Carrying me Ho...
“May I?”He murmured sweetly
Maybe so, I replied jokingly meekly
Mother will be watching, busy as ever
Making herself look bustling and clever
Man up, I teased and don’t be a sissy
Mother’s kind, but fathers tricky
Mind his size and move with care
Meet his eyes? Best beware
Marshmallow he is not be quick
Mean and fierce he won’t miss a trick
Make it fast if it’s a kiss you’re after
Mark my words...
Bittersweet it is to glance up on you
Beauty beheld in your eyes that perhaps I have only seen
Breath up on my cheek I yearn to feel
Brutal it is not to know the taste of your lips
Break after break I feel a piece of my heart fall off
Blossom I wish we would
But we should not even touch, or look at one another for too long
Bodily urge to land to a flock of touch upon your face
Beast of my desire...
I messed up again
Isn't it lovely to the dark,
Inconsiderate to the light.
I mean, how did I get here
In one moment I'm laughing,
In an instant, I'm back.
In what world is that sane?
Is this normal or what?
Instructions anyone?
I'm starting out.
Is anyone hiring?
(I say sarcastically)
I guess this is what failure feels like.
I know this is what failure feels like.
In this moment I want to crawl,...
Jam spilling off your wheat bread,
Joke that you had too much to drink,
Jar still sitting on your bed.
Jealousy’s fine, but so is trust,
Just don’t let promises turn to dust,
Jet-legged and high, they say we must.
Jackets are out of season,
Jaded, I search for a reason.
Journaling with my head in your lap,
Juice drips down your back,
Jaw perfectfly in-tact.
Jail won’t be the end of this figh...
Kiss me until the sea runs dry
Kneel with me and watch the sky
Keen eyes see feelings buried deep down
Kind hearts fill with love until they drown
Kerosene surrounds us, engulfing us in flames
Knots of my longing for you tighten, is this one of cupids cruel games?
Keeping you close, in the warmth of our fire
Kind of knew our relationship would turn out dire
Knives cut deep, fire burns through,...
Easy for you to say
Enjoy, go with the flow
Eagles fly free of restraint
Elephants already move slow
Ecosystems they’re made for
Elsewhere in this vast world
Except I’m standing too close
Edge of a cliff, my stress and
Enjoyment are blurred
Enough I say, I relate to
Endangered species too much
Everything’s great until the
Environment loses its touch
Emptiness doesn’t fit in my schedule
Each ho...
