I thought I'd been weathering this storm quietly, but my friends have been the support beams through it all.

Silently stepping in to hold me up on the days I've lost the heart to do it myself.

The summer heat bores forever on, the iced cream man is hard at work.

As a kid I couldn't contain my excitement enough to savor the treat, id haphazardly  discard the wrapper and let it melt all over my hands while I ate it.


These days I eat mine in the shade, and try to catch every runny drop as it melts away.

I'll do my best to keep my eyes on the road.

After years in the passenger seat, looking out of the window while you drove,

Its gonna be hard to break the habit.

Don't worry though, im buckled up,
I won't text when I make it home.
Safe and sound.

Life was such a beautiful dream then.

I guess it still is really, quite a beautiful dream.

Its a toss up,
Its a potluck,

Its a wash out,
Its a cold shower,

An open wound,
And a clean bandage,

Its a great song,
Its a boring sermon,

Its a brand new day,
Its the same old ****,

Its a load of crap,
But its a beautiful thing.

Dishes
Im still stuck inside the two way mirror,
Still staring at myself,
Still seeing nothing.
Oh how i wish it would shatter for us all

Rama Krsna
the nectar of love
only comes with
the poison of pain,
two for the exorbitant price of one

standing
at the chasm of life and death
destroyed by love
grief remains as life’s sole friend

the memories of love
now belong to time
and this aging body to the five elements.
