I'm wide awake, it's morning.
Look! Look! The universe is exploding everywhere!
Wedging it's infinite self into every breathing cell
We are walking testimonies to eons of being
In my spiralling nerves you could find anything:
Countless dreams undreamt, all tiny
Granules of what could be color
The unobtrusive strum of vocal cords
Communicates so much wholenesd...
& with such clarity!
Live, my friend. Live.
Never to forget that we ,
in the very deepest of truths
Are all gods.

haunted.
gentle
painful vibrations
rattle the cobwebs
caught in the eyes of the house
dust gently parts between rotting floorboards
and ectoplasmic fingertips
disturb the crooked picture frames
the nameless faces hold their gaze
the weight of this presence weighs steadily
upon an unstable foundation
and the frames sigh
in a soft frustration
shifting the wooden structure
without a spirit
it remains
just a house
but the eventual cracking of beams
fogs up every cracked window
so it disintegrates in its pa[i]n[e]
crumbling in fear
and i know you will break me
suck dry the electricity lingering in my walls
little of which remains
without you
my tangibility will become
terribly too obvious
but at least there will be something left.

crystal clarity.
fine & sculptured
rounded fingertips
cold.
cold like my hair standing up
pushing my muscles.
go faster.
my eyes shine open
an iridescent blue
contrasting the
one murky green
that made them:
swamp eyes.
listless & lethargic
suddenly fall victim to
a tsunami of energy
infusing the iris
with the realisation:
your time here is short...
stunted by the
finite lifespan
given to me so lovingly
by a god who never knew
another's love
He lingers
omnipresent
wishing to be loved
so personally
not by masses
all to willing to worship Him
without getting to know Him
they say
He will give himself to you
if you let Him.
prayer hands are touched so tenderly
together
closed off
&He cannot feel your p[s]alms.
we have the option
of understanding
but we never exercise the will
we lock our doors & hope
opportunity will knock
instead of seeking it ourselves
fifteen year olds carry children with their burdens
and aspiring artists stunt their visions
with chemical doubt.
the prodding continues
i have a job
i am a professional human being.
i act out my profession well
the only funny thing about it is,
the people i feed are rarely hungry
where is the justice in that?
i return to a nice apartment
which i can't fathom calling home
but i am not without shelter.
i will always have arms in which to keep warm
blankets under which to hide
who is the lucky one here?
the moral of the story:
stop complaining.

in which a jealous & ill informed lover destroys a monument.

the first time learnt.
a smooth palm tree chest
&leaf green eyes
always synonymous with summer
&driving slowly to nowhere
legs speckled with sunbleached hair
&muscles lazily flexing
while letting off the brakes
i couldn't touch you if i tried
a memory
hidden beneath an aging shell
&you bought me packs of marlboros
when i was too young
drinking wine in a playhouse
where i learned that sometimes
eagerness is
[not]
a crime
not when the warm night
hugs the trees
under which
he held together
tracing
each other's jawlines with drunk fingertips
&making promises we were both too naive
to know would never keep
i was too young.
you, too gone.
