Want

If you really want it bad if you really need it so Tell my why you want it, or you’ve got to leave, just go. You have to leave because if you don’t your heart will grieve, just remember me as I sit here like a tree. I want to mesh with the leaves blend … Continue reading →

Throw it down the stairs

Throw it down the stairs, because you threw it all away. It will break. But so what? It’s already broken up. You can rip out the strings to watch it fall apart, it will happen anyway, it’s been unraveling from the start. You can elbow through the crowd just to hear them curse, and when … Continue reading →

Warmth

I saw the stars behind the clouds from memory. I felt the warmth on this December day, every time I breathe, I can see my own warmth against the cold. I’m getting so old and so tired of this fence. I walk along it, beside it, and we sleep in tents. Where is the thing … Continue reading →

A dream

This was something framed in my mind, and we waited, to see it someday. It was a dream I had. That will not come true with you. I always wanted endless possibilities like ocean paths clear in all directions. And one branch leading to another. I thought you were the same. But instead I heard … Continue reading →

Storms

Some

You’re better than some I’ve seen but can you make me gleam? Because I don’t just want to glow and have that followed by a drop a dip a sadness that always seems to stick to any plans I wrote on the palms of my hands, so if this won’t be bright enough let’s just … Continue reading →

Paris

We drove out of the city, and through the pain, because you said “no more rain.” We drove to the airport to take a plane because you promised Paris doesn’t have rain. We sat side-by-side in a cafe, because you said Paris only has perfect days. Your sad blue eyes covered by your black bangs, … Continue reading →

Bath tub

I’m in the bathtub Writing down my novel Like I always do, But instead all I can Think of Is you. Distraction That brings a smile, As you kill my work I only float high like A lost balloon Happier to zoom through The clouds Instead of staying Anchored to a bratty child’s Hand. This … Continue reading →
