Intellectualize
Rather than live through
All the things
That we collect
To build our nest
The moon is almost full
But my heart is not
Without you
Emotional situations
Move through me
With grace
Take me out of this place
Where I have everything
More than I need
And gift me
One thing
You
This would be home
Enough for me
Fulfilling everything
I need
No lock upon my door
You are the key

Drinking from your cup
Of aquatic astral love
I find neutrality is
Dripping down the walls
Fluorescent lighting
Illuminates
A possible earthquake
That never takes
Shooting
A double shot of love
Almost exploding
But not quite
In subtle wakes
The question that my mind
Has trouble still to find
Or to define
Is of which petal
Will fall next
Blindfolded bed
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
Love is patient
Love is blind
What have we got?

Scurry in
To regulate all actions
Subconsciously
Averted noise
A frequency
Destroying
Kindhearted things
Even though the sting
Is in control of
What we’re doing
How we’re being
Innocence perverted
435 million years
Still stand in toe
Raised to rescind
Break the cycle
Arachnid conditions
Eight legged
Superstitions dominating
Ropes and strings
Anticipating us to spring
Cater to the needs
To sit down for
Manipulation
At a feast of scorpions
Walk the tightrope
Don’t wake the beast
A special time
For friends and neighbors
To go to sleep
To misconstrue
Emotional labors
Under our roof
Would be
Embarrassing
We go out of our way
To accommodate
The jurisdiction
Of the kill
Malefic
Obstinate free will
The door swings open
Speedy exit
To escape
Twenty five fatalities
Unsullied magnitude
Brought to its knees
Inside the gallies
That only want to
Be received
Without a ploy
Face value momentarily
Is underrated
And so is joy
At the end of the day
The venom makes
A bold retreat
A single stake
Left to reclaim
The tail hook storm
That has been made
In the wind
That whips the
Shiny everglades

What does it mean
To be in a
Relationship
And also have
A life for yourself?
What if being
A support to your partner
Means needing
Emotional support
For yourself?
Do we put this
On a shelf
Table it
Until the next one
Comes along?
Tell a different fairytale
To ourselves
Dragons and witches
Assholes and bitches
To one another
Failed attempts
At interdependence
Just like
Self imposed handcuffs
We can’t
Find our
Way out of
But then…
What if
We can be
Singular together
Then we
Could still enjoy
What it means
To be a lot less mean
To one another
Find the keys
Less strained
We have
More love gained
From the freedom
Of extenuating
Back breaking
Extremes
Look for each other
In between
No expectations
A glass of champagne
And an exit
From pain
Like good friends laughing
Every night
In sweet refrain

why
would she think
it would be
any different
from being
my friend
maybe it’s the mixtape
i sent
maybe it’s the same
as I would be
if someone
compiled music
for me
would you…?
then I might assume
you meant
something more
than you mean
but then
maybe we
could make out
to the mixtape
you might
send me

What would you say
To someone who wants
No arrogance
Just a chance
To believe
In with you
To suspend time
Pause once
In themselves
To be with you
So much
That they miss
The planets turning
Ambition for stepping
Onto hot coals burning
For you
On each attempt
Entering
To open up
Your eyes with a kiss
The ability
For your heart
To also see
Into me
What you have
Wished with
Somebody
Would it be
Something
That could
Make you turn
Away
From me?
Ask me to cry
And I will
Ask me to lie
And I will
Ask me to stand still
And I will
Ask me to walk on fire
And I will
Ask me whatever you desire
And I will…

Everything in our
Conceptual existence
Leans toward
Suggestive lust
Is what I want real
Or just a fantasy
Bring your body over here
To me
Let me touch you in a way
You’ve never felt before
On the bed or on the floor
Move your way to me
Let me put one hand on your face
Thumb at your lower lip
One hand on the back of your neck
You make me a train wreck
For love
Sensations pounding
Kiss me all around
I’ll return the favor
Your skin has the flavor
Of sweet amber
You return my mood
I can’t feel any other way
With you
Friendship into fervor
Murmur words of
Passion underneath your breath
Whispers at my ears
Tongue at my neck
I want you
Every part of you
When you’re ready
Bring your body over here
To me

Like the page
Of an ancient scroll
When I read yours
Do you wonder what I know?
Follow the eclipse
The credence light
The crescent spill
The way it feels
The texture of your soul
In stark silhouette
I can hear the echos
Of your past
On my finger tips
Dimmed in flesh
Emissaries drinking light
You hold the present and the past
In your chalice palm tonight
Like the stones of
Ancient pathways
I stroll the fountain
Of your heart line
Birds are singing
Songs along the phalanx
Of your lifeline
Horses riding in the sun
Laughter thrones the drum
Forked in passionate mystique
A split between artistic need
Flowering in a garden that
Reveals itself beneath
The soil in your nails
If all else fails
Your signature is a monument
Scant of disbelief
As warm as honey
Swarms the majesty
Of bees in guitar strings
A melody you know too well
There isn’t much for me to tell
Fold your hand in mine
And walk with me
Throughout the sands of time

Life is short
Don’t make it hard
Believe me this I know
Life is short
Don’t make it hard
No matter where you go
The future is unlimited
Believe me this I know
Life is short
Though days seem long
Don’t make it hard
You hold the torch

Interrupted by your need
To feel bound
To hold someone
So they won’t get close to me
What is by force this comfort?
Look through the binoculars
It is a similar distance to touch
What you are afraid to drop
Afraid to love even if
He could have loved you
A little pathetic, right?
Or is it just sad to watch
Claim what’s not yours
Block light
Cover the truth
What do we gain
If we really lose?
A hug full of remorse
Only for you
Not for him
Not for me
Because sharing
Friendships is
Incredibly scary
For you
I could give you
A quiet kiss
The one you wouldn’t have to feel
Not a little
But your fear
Would only corrupt this
Love is for everyone
Not just for you
Is my light too bright
Am I troubling you?
Should I create a mist of love
Are you disappointed?
Embrace full of remorse
Only to wake up the same
I’m too old for such a game
The child became the man
I wish you the same thing
At all costs
Let go of your jealous roots
Open the French doors
Before the lie soon
Breaks you
You can’t stop love
And take it away from someone
It won’t do more for you
A hug full of remorse
By a resentful boy
You lock me outside
Stepping in the way
With all your insecurities
But like a child
I am innocent and pure
I just want to love
Why do you hurt me so
No, not even this will stop me
