Time* always takes but never gives. And, if you ask me what you were to me. You were a watch on my wrist.

When the brain
is skinned by
ceasuras of light...
the uni-verse
signs the cross
of its bloom.

In the dark night I was prevented from my satisfying slumber,
as I was troubled by my rooms dark corner.
Though my eyes were soon to be sealed,
may my dreamcatcher cure me from this dreadful darkness to be revealed.

Thankfully, the dreamcatcher protected me through this night,
as I was navigated to an existence so bright.
I was floating above the sea as I saw the lights
of thousand beaconing lighthouses from these ongoing heights.

Keenly guided from all insecurities,
I now clearly see the seas of opportunities.

It's on days like these,
When the sky is a cloud,
That I wish I could sit
For a bit
In the sky-
And watch from a cloud
How the days go by;
How the world goes round,
And why people die.
It wouldn't be easy
Amongst all the chaos
To find any meaning
Or reason or rhyme.
Perhaps that is why
I decide to write poems;
My words all have meaning
And some of them rhyme!
Silly little poem about meaninglessness

i am surrounded by warm bodies,
but i crave a loving touch.
the world is fast pacing
but i feel like i am stuck.

my stomach isn't doing well, and neither is my brain
                my heart just got up from a  grave, and oh look- it's falling again.
what do i call this state of being?
I buy a role.
Cinema verite.
But think much bigger and more grand in scale and style.
Costs me seven dollars or eight.
I'll be moving up from time to time in time.
There are packs you can buy where all the joints are different colors.
And I smoke them all or someone else does in moonlight, perhaps.
Mostly I smoke one of three:
American Spirit Blacks;
Camel Turkish Royals;
Marlboro 27s.
That sorta sums me up.
I'm in love with all the world, through the look of a ring of smoke;
Or a wavy line rising disappearing to the sky.
If I turn 28 years old I'll thank the Lord aloud.
And kiss his hollowed ground.
And change some things around.
And make some lovely sounds.
And shoot some lovely scenes.
And star for who to see.
For you there is a me.
Yes you, every lady.
And every sweet young supple girl,
Who is ready for the world;
I will be your man,
And I'll show you all I can,
And when you've seen enough,
I'll lay you down for love,
And we'll go deeper then the rest,
We'll plant new foreign lands.
And start humanity there.
And we will watch it grow...

Worlds never been discovered.
Our spaceship's under covers.
But soon it will be built.
And then we will lift off.
Not knowing we are safe,
But knowing we are great.
And trusting all around;
The people who got us off the ground.
We'll sail and leave the Earth behind;
And first stop will be the Moon.
And that's all I can write about that right now.
Wouldn't want to spoil a thing.
Not you.
Not even the ending of a movie.
Like when I open up my pack of Turkish Royal cigarettes;
Out on my back porch tonight under the stars;
And I pull out the very last one;
And I light it up I'm either saying cut or I'm saying action...
Every pack of cigarettes a movie.

You told me I needed to love myself before anyone else would and even though I might agree with you that's just so **** hard. I'm not expecting you to love me enough for the both of us and I'm not asking you to pick up all the pieces and put me back together. All I'm asking for is for you to be there while I do it. I understand you've probably never been with someone who's felt broken but I'm starting to feel whole again and I'm making myself happy now and it's not that I need you it's that I want you and you bring a certain light to this grey world we all live in. You make me want to look at things differently and want to think about the best part of every day. And if that isn't what's making me fall in love with you maybe it's when your eyes light up when you talk about something you love. Or when you get the childish grin when you finally figure something out or when your laugh raises in pitch when you think somethings funny. I just can't stop myself from admiring all your qualities and I understand if you can't do the same. All I've ever wanted was for you to try

There were long nettles, sharp thorns, a wasp’s sting;
bruises, cuts, a piece of paper torn, a broken ring;
grey trouser rags and still, pale lips.
We stood quietly. Long mute hours passed.
Someone scattered dark petals from dark, crimson flowers
upon his hair; he being ours.
