Logging

Interminable existence
Chariot of falls

We don’t need a ring
We don’t need marriage
All the friendship that we have
Covers it volubly

I’m going back to bed
She said
That’s how you knew
Tomorrow could also
Be a better day
Sleep it off
Try again in an hour
Try again in three hours
Try again tomorrow

I’m going to paint it
A little more darkly than it is
Because that’s how it feels

It’s not always so dark
But the clock keeps ticking

Why both sides can’t be happy
Sugar and water calming the
Sea of the heart

Leave a dime on the floor
Say goodbye before you go
Pick it up to catch the call
If you can reach it
Just before the world
Takes off

Targeteer

Itty bitty moments for breathing
I reject my skin to be one of those
The terror of being hurt again
Was the beginning of the end
For caring to expose the epidermis
To the hateful words that were
Buried there from before by
Loved ones who only apologized
Afterwords never thinking
Their mouths turned into
Blood red volcanoes
What was he trying so hard to
Shut up for being outspoken
Like a broken cello
He was just writing down what
His eyes told him to
After that he couldn’t stop

It’s as if every gun on the planet was pointing
At him while in the barracks asking the Gods
To protect his spirit from it
Crass bureaucracy of red lines
Inspections and duties
« I never volunteered for this
And they keep giving me more shit! » he said.

Learning how to keep
Away from it personally
Being berated by the rules
Constantly thrusted
Ridiculously exhausting
Uncontrollably annoying city!

You can hear the echoes
Of laughter in the back seat
Almost as cruel as the telekinetic
Dreams that pretended to show up
Proclaiming that someone really cares
When they’re only a phone call away
But they’re manifesting cheap talk instead

It’s tragic to say but true
With all of it coming down
Like cats and dogs from the sky. Ouch!
It doesn’t mean that you’re going to die
So there’s that.

Two

The morning is the same
As the night
The feeling is
Always too much
Strive for
Perfection
The only way
I know how to be
This touch

Could we find a place
To grow together
Did I offend
Myself or you
Or both of us
Being who I am
Can do that
Unexpectedly
Human

Tomorrow is bright
Today is dark
But every day
Is hopeful

And one day so are we
We are growing up
With each other
Like the devils
Tongue

Forked in two

Feeling a glimmer of hope
In the midst of darkness
Like a possibility rising
Different from the star
That brought us here

The abnormal firing
of electrical impulses
Heart to heart

Affection is
The key
What else can we be
Is this the meaning
In our speech
Please say it

Say it to me

Turn the music up
Turn the lights off
Touch my face
Feel the tears
In my embrace

Left to the living we
Cry the most
Love the deepest

Left with everything
Hungering for
More

Permission

He gave me permission
To touch him
I didn’t for fear
I would lose it
We shared a
Telepathic energy
Between us
Interrupted
By dual outside
Source souls
That are now
Non-existent

In prevalent nature
Ours was escaped
And so I see
It mattered not
If I took the opportunity
To honor his permission
To touch him
For whatever reason
I was protecting
What we had
Now lingers
Untouched
Absently
