The hungry Hungry Hippo
has teeth that will crush your bones
a mouth so big
there's no escape
the hungry hungry hippo is on the prowl
skulking in the water
it gets bigger by the day
because the hungry hungry hippo
cannot satisfy the taste
grinding teeth down to shreds
it needs to eat
needs to fill up
bloodshot sticky eyes
drowning in its own drool
not enough in the water
it's coming onto land
the hungry hungry hippo
is on the hunt
and it's never gonna stop.

Flesh buried decay
bone skeleton remains
Soul sweeps
unseen

Sometimes I write words that I think are perfect and mighty

but when I read your words ,they ******* me ,they make me feel like a nonsense trying to make sense

They make me Wonder, why should i call  me a poet
With words that don't rhyme  
or flow

But again I believe that this words are perfect and mighty
they gave me hope
I found peace whenever I wrote them
I floated like a feather and forgot my permanent scars
with these words am a Knight and a hero
what are you with your words

Catch me in your arms
When I stumble and fall
I need your safe arms
Wrapped around me
But don't let me go
You can't because if you do
I could break into millions of shards
You keep me together
Just don't leave

You shock me
With your caring demeanor
That no one has any more
You clear everything
In my eyes when I look at you
The fog goes away and I rememeber
Everything I need too when I'm with you
You take everything
That doesn't make sense
So you can figure it out and share
To make sure I know it too
Your crazy vocabulary
Is what I live for
You and I
We need each other
More than anyone realizes

the lullaby the silence sleeps in
is
the vibration of your laughter

the rhythm the eternity breathes out
is
the thumping of your *heart
the melody  (immeasurable & unseen & beautiful)
is
you

we are all laughing to cry
we are all playing to forget

we are all living to die

we are all loving to lose


we are all breathing
to
stop*


but each moment you
laugh, play, live, love, breathe

is

one less moment to cry, forget, die, lose, stop.
we have one purpose:

we are human beings occupying a millionth of a second in this universe
make that millionth of a second
worth
a full, rich, beautiful minute.
