you’re the only one you can fully rely on,
only you can make a change.
people come, people go,
you will have yourself forever.
don’t stress over others,
friends or lovers too much.
if someone leaves,
grieve them as much as you please,
but don’t let it take over your life.
their presence will not save you.

you can't see me
I'm invisible
but if you see
through the grass
then first you'll be
hypnotized by my eyes
yellow
and diamond
come stay
you may
I'll craw around you
observing
you look nice
but you're just a mice
Do you care?
Shall I spare
you?

so I bite
like a knife
but as gentle as I can
cause you're my friend after all

I bite
with two long teeth
down through your feet

I bite
but only if you want to return
like a 'home run'
as fast as death
speed with breath

just say my name

"Snake"

and say the word

"bite"

I be there...

staring at a screen
it says ‘bad gateway’
what does it mean?

I don't know
but I've seen this before
that's why I'm in
survival mode
it's gonna be okay
I'll just take the next road
left

writing poems...
in my head

It’s tender,

being the closest of friends..
but oh, isn’t it such a dangerous thing?
To hold you with care,
in the space we made,
while promising

I won’t touch a single thing.

But sweet love... to be this close
to someone like you..
need I say

what your voice can bring?

Warmth, truth,
supportive hands that tend--
it’s a dream come true
for those who bleed.

But when a deep need is quietly met,
can the heart resist
going full send?

And still—when a need
is met without hands,
without lips,

without sleep lost
   in shared breath...

how long before restraint slips?

This depth.. untouched,
unspoken, unseen..
it burns through the walls
between you and me.

Yes, even with agreements
so lovingly made...
there’s always the risk
in a love so brave;


  that we will  both

             come

      undone.
