Paper Oceans

Paper oceans,
swimming with
ink creatures.

Grand Theft Love

kissing you
feels like
stealing a car
and gunning it
for a joyride

The Final Symphony

I played the violin
on my wrist,
red notes spilling,
sweet music.

Human Lego

He spoke of all
his favorite parts of her,
but she knew
that the other parts held her together.
She and him fell apart,
but remained self-compatible.

She was not born
to complete him.

We are just human lego
with destiny playing with us.
Let’s hope that sweet girl
does not accidentally step on us.
She’s not a good one
to upset.

flow to flow

Musical notes,
black bars,
surround soundeed,
trapped in your song.

Inhaling your sweetest lyrics,
and feeling your words
drip down into my lungs.

I don’t exhale,
I want the words to remain
and percolate
throughout my body.
That’s how rivers are born.

Poetic Haunts

I tattooed
my favorite poem
on your ghost
so when you haunt me
it’ll be more magical.
I always
wanted to be
haunted by poetry.
Thank you.

Running the Streets

I spent the night
writing graffiti
on your walls of skin
with my fingertips.
You called it street art.
In the morning, I was gone,
the city is full of walls.

You understood,
the world is full of artists.

Dirty Water

I want to bathe in your soul,
wash myself
in your warm goodness
and feel your soap sud sins
slip down my skin.

I sink my head,
take a sip,
hold my breath, and
submerge.

Dark Orchard

In a room
full of light,
I’m just a shadow.
In my shade,
a garden shall grow
with the sweetest apples.

The Animal Kingdom

My thoughts,
wild creatures,
leave their footprints
on my brain.
The clever ones
try to cover up their tracks.
My thoughts,
wild creatures,
leave bite marks
on my soul.
My thoughts,
wild creatures,
leave claw marks
on my heart.
A zoo,
a real fucking zoo,
please don’t feed the animals.
