Love is the lie that keeps us alive…
My dreams fell short in the dark
Sinkable, broken, lost
I reach for you every day but I catch air
I would catch you and we would be together
And I would be with you.
I imagine me and and you making
Surgar cookies together and watching
Migrating birds fly over the land
Their shadows would reign on us
I would be with you
In a thunderstorm, you would hold on
To...
Repetitive Illiteracy.
Love is the lie that keeps us alive.
So maybe I haven't been living.
All my poems are repetitive.
I'm not like other writers with beautiful vocabulary that makes people swoon.
My poems have no rhythm.
They're jarring, just like my emotions.
They're chaotic, lacking a singular focus.
How do I explain in poetic terms how I miss you?
Do I say that your melodic laugh danced across my ears li...

Not Really Love
Love is a lie that keeps us alive
Take a deep breath,
Come swim, take a dive.
Drown in the depths of a coital embrace
Cater to the waves
While you forget your own face.
Pretend it uplifts,
That your love truly inspires,
All the while managing a million small fires.
Paint on that smile,
Put on that mask,
Praying that no one,
someone,
anyone,
will ask....
Love is the Lie
Love is the lie that keeps us alive
Its the match to our flame
It’s the blue to our sky
Love is the lie that we all have felt
Given and taken
From somebody else
Love is the lie that makes us believe
There is something in this world
Something bigger for me
What if the lie isn’t the love
What if it’s the people we know
The ones we belove?
Maybe we need the love to live
Maybe we need the people ...
Death And Love
Love is like a lie that keeps us alive. Like believing theirs a higher power out there that can hear our prayers and save us from this hopeless existence we live. Death will become of us all, death feels no bias or pity. It takes whom ever no matter the skin or religion or whatever. Death is the horrible truth and love is the sweetest of lies.

Liar’s Love
Love is the lie that keeps us alive.
It catches the string of our shirt
As we jump for the edge
Of the cliff.
As far as the string unravels,
As thin as it gets,
You will never crash
Into the torrent.
Foam will curl and
Spray; you’ll taste
The salt water stinging
Your eyes.
You may reach your
Hand towards the
Dark waters, beckoning you
With their mysterious
Depths, all to no avail.
Love will pull...
Foxes And Keys
There’s a key created.
To kickstart the engine that is my heart.
Yet now I find myself.
Beneath a yellow hued stoplight in this midnight parking lot.
Patting my pockets, and my bag for it.
No familiar jingle is heard.
And now my body floods with nerves.
Will I be trapped?
In this field of tar and pale lemon lines.
To my saving.
A large shadow appears to be approaching.
Turning my head ov...
