Coptic

It was building a legacy
Perhaps my own testament
Some spiritual outpouring
Surface an upbringing
A sanctification of holy light
Unblindfolded by the night
Awakened in a world of our own
Creation created by the Creator
Who are we then but buried
In the beauty of all facets
Yielding beneath my robes
Bearing it all for something
But the context is only spiritual
Words written in books
Hymns filled with resound
A being couldn’t be more awake
And equally fatigued at the
Same time if only one less
Angel in heaven and what then
Lashing a demon out from
Within uncertain dangerous love
Earthbound as we were
Before attending our earlier
Time in the space from which
We arrived at before we
Existed to know what is where
Staring at a star pondering
Why not there?

Galloping

He cannot be rescinded
Not for lack of love or any other
He started hiding behind who he was
Creating alternative outlets
Nonetheless talented or
Electrically freed from the person
He had become

Ferociously fearful of astonishing
What he was not because he thought
Being was bad if not good at it
Underneath the carpet
He found himself vacant
In the middle of a stage
A dream performance made
Of steak and obsessed strangers
Have you betrayed yourself?
A tiny truth floating in the air
How was he not himself
Unpredictable masterpiece
Descending into the garden
A rosy morning of rescinded
Sunlight and shadows
At odds with being happy
Increased by a ten year old
Birthday wish unpacking
Expectations lowered by the
Definitive wakefulness of life
And wild horses

Backing

When do we run out of excellence?
Not everything will always be
Formidable where are my friends
As if they’ve all been murdered
Vanished or taken away
But to where?

This is going to come out
In a pitiful way but I always knew
In some cases she didn’t!
It’s so exhausting to be the one
Reminding the self
Of how unamazing we are
I could fall asleep forever
Snoresville!

Someone said today
Unlike others you have style
Everyone is so boring you’re different!
Man that felt thrilling I was
Verklempt and inimitable
To be sinfully drunk instantly
Passed out in a pool of you
My opulence you must know
You remind me of what
Makes it possible with your words
That I could be better
Something even genial
When in doubt

Maybe you’re attached to all the
Negative things that happened selfishly
In your earlyhood of questions
Savoring dark soups
What is not okay?

Fear if to be comforted?
Asleep now below the lighthouse

Gravity

A basis for true objectivity
Withstands not a shred of
Evidence to extort all intelligence
If I slept next to you in bed
Could I keep my hands off of you!?

Macrocosmes and microcosms
Cannot breathe without a
Universe to exchange their
Need to consist of pyre being
Past lives in a pavilion
Of our scientific hearts

There are many ones
We are building moment by moment upon
Just as there are ones of many
A multifaceted nature
Existing as a part within
One another

Freedom is theirs to decide
We don’t have to do or
Be anything

We don’t want to be
Or do anything
Unless what we don’t
Want to be is
What we end up becoming

In space and time
Unwinding the length between us
In the sheets I can feel
Your skin next to me
A scaled form of what
Humans have been known to do
Regardless of the parts
Mundane to be held back
Why should we exist otherwise
Adjusting to what it means
Superficially to others

Our bodies make up the same
Weight and volume in decisions
Measured next to the stratosphere
Our heaviness is the same
A lightness as well
Both densities can be
Measured separately and equally
By each hair on our
Individual bodies
What grandiose metrics

In an embodiment of passion
O what dreams to suck on your tongue
A consciousness that fulfills and
Defines our mutual gravities

Breathless

My heart was racing kind of
Difficult to find my breath
She said “You just want something-
That you can’t have!” It’s a
Fantasy I know but also
Even once would taste
So sweet

To have something that
Feels right even if it doesn’t
Belong in the rest of the world
Like my outsides don’t match
My insides I would give anything
To make the whole thing line up
That’s the appeal

Again the point of having
A moment like that once
In a lifetime worth the risk
Is it proprioception?
What would it mean to have
Even one chance arrive with you
I’ll take what I can get
Completely as you are

Unfold you and put you
Back together with well wishes
Sweet kisses more than that
When I’m through with you
Dinner too if you’re up for it and…
Then maybe I could get you
To stick around?

Orange Moon

Am I deranged in my love for you!
Orange moon make me not
A prisoner to your glowing
All for the answers to bow
Down on bended knees I need less
Little of nothing but only
Tenderness

Leave me not with the
Rotting ghosts on the floor
Reminiscent of past life love
If we break the ice might we
Also be found drowning
Together

Keep on lying to me
Before I change my name
Handle me with noble gestures
Give me both of your hands
Warm sun at my back
Early morning could be
Left with nothing warmer
Than the touch of your heart
Abandon me parched

Situating your softness
At the tips of my fingers
A smile and sweet eloquence
Find my voice and pick it up
Off the floor

Liable

Miracle of flowers
How does it happen
A race to get to the sun
Up from the soil
Unbelievable

To be hungry for kisses
Like the magic of this
Mystery on your lips
What we become
Afterwards

Soak me up in the best way
I couldn’t bear to say
Goodbye later

Fall asleep in your arms
Fool to wander around
Rolling in the bed with
Your charms a simple plea
To wake up this way

I am liable to hold on
For dear life I wonder
If you would savor me
In the same way
Worth the risk to
Find out

All the chips out
Cards on the table
Whatever becomes later
Is happening now

Balbutiement

Is it so serious to leave us
Tongue tied dreaming for death
Or to stutter off only to
Wish for the quench of your
Salty lips against the sky
Mine and yours alone

Nothing to stop us nor
To rearrange the gaze
In our eyes aligned with
One another static cling

Comes the plane crashing
Down to earth or something
Like down our throats
Trapped in our hearts
Beating in the chakras sublime

I shouldn’t want to leave your
Side if ever learn any language
To understand your words
Whatever it should be to
Embrace the dance
Between us

Caress your feet and feed you
All of your favorite things
Love every part of you
That you personally despise
This is my gift to hold you
In such guise let me
Kiss it out of you

Stammering for words that
Are clearly non existent
I’ve a finger ready to trace
All the lines from your
Mouth lightly along the bridge
Of your nose through your
Hair and down your back
Whatever is forsaken
Shall be ours

Shopping

Can you write the words
To say how absurd it is to
Have anything more materialistically
Nothing would be worth it
It’s just buying shit and holding
Ourselves up with corporeal things
This really is truly so empty with
People dying being blown up
In the streets new shoes
Just don’t matter to me like another
Relationship a deeper friendship,
Any reason to be more than this
To mean more than this
That’s what matters to me
Stuck in this Christmas tree
Consciousness waiting for a package
Or decorating our surroundings
Of course building myself inside the most
Beautiful prison, buried in concrete
I could create this to only be the
Sole magistrate of my own cage
Self inflicted I would write it all down
No, no longer in need for anything more
Than everything we already have
Start stepping away from acquiring
New things just so you can make life feel
Somehow better, make life feel good
Stop without shopping for the things
Anything we always hoped it would be
Something’s trying to suck the tenderness
Completely out of me, but I found it again
In the Earth, the roses, the grass, the trees
And the animals traveling around me
Watch them teach a stupid human
Like me, just how life could be…

Fugitive

I introduced her to all my friends
She stayed for them but not for me
In the end she was only
Someone to steal my heart
Stolen once before but many times
Ripped from my core there are
Many more moments that this
Could be stolen again and again
For fun because I know the game

All the same in love and war I
Couldn’t turn it off really
Bake you a chocolate cake
Maybe that was my first mistake
Forgetting and remembering
Everyday is a reminder of the
Bandit she would turn out to be
Even if only friendship and
A kiss was exchanged
I hang that picture on the wall

What a lucky time, time to record
In the stones beneath our feet
Not feeling like I’m anything special
But somehow engaging a cigarette
Allowances were made and the
History is archived for us to
Always remember in whatever
Capacity our brains and our
Hearts are empowered

Still a thief is a thief
A heart is a heart
Like a blindfolded burglar
Stolen friends stolen love
The end is devoured
In our inabilities to
Remain
