****
There’s so
many things I want to make my property,
including
you.
****
To
Worship You
I decided to worship
you
the moment I met you
such vulnerable position
To
want you
not being sure
if that was a good decision
****
This
Ending
You shattered my world
You
knew all along
You used me so much
That now I am crushed
You
reached my essence
I glowed in your presence
But you didn’t
care
Whether or not I was there
You
pulled me in
I thought, from within
I feel sorry for entering
I
feel bad for this ending
****
What
is You
The intensity with time
faded
everything we knew.
You took what was mine
so I started all
anew.
With
the seasons went the scars
and the memories subsided.
I guess
the heart heals when it’s apart
of everything it ever wanted.
You
worry me so much.
You always made me ill.
And I confess that by
your touch
what is you affects me still.
****
breakfast
with me
It makes no difference
up
or down
if you’re not flying
with me
There’s no
reason
for taste
if you’re not
eating breakfast with me
****
Happiness
Stop
She’s pretty
she shines for
him
but he’s in the dark
She
takes notice
she feels ugly
she doesn’t shine anymore
Did
his happiness stop
when he pulled out?
****
Only
I
remember you
You were me once
and only
twice.
****
Ashtray
I
catch your words
like I’m the bowl
your incense ashes fall
on
I
catch your mind
and whatever I find
like your plate of candle
wax
I
melt at the sound
of the words I found
like the peppermint in
your mouth
I
catch your words
like I’m the bowl
your cigarette ashes fall
on
****
Sometimes
You
take me so high
sometimes
And you make me feel
loved
sometimes
You give me your time
sometimes
When it’s
convenient enough
sometimes
You
make me feel beautiful
sometimes
And you make me so
comfortable
sometimes
And everything’s
wonderful
sometimes
And everything’s durable
sometimes
Yet
you push me away
sometimes
And you leave me
behind
sometimes
Yet you want me to stay
sometimes
And
you give me your mind
sometimes
You
seem like you’re true
sometimes
And I hate that I love
you
all the time
****
messy
living room
In such a messy living
room
there seems to be no purpose
watching the local
channels
becoming so small
So
forgotten in the universe
in this messy living room
Such a spec
of dust
amongst
have I become
Inside
this little box
peeking through a TV
at the world
beyond the
box
And
where are you?
****
My
Mold
I felt pain in a lie
I took
you in my eye
I gave you a mold
For you to become
To fit in
perfect
And to be happy
in your pocket
But
I stumbled my toes
(Hit wrong the floor)
And you spilled
outside
My hands and my life
Now I only hold
My pitiful
mold
****
I
Saw You
I saw you,
your smile
inspired
mystical undertow
and your eyes made me
question
everything I know
and the long-lost hope
of some
real love
flashed in my mind.
What will I find?
Nothing.
Rip
my throat out.
****
Eternal
Paradox
I look at your face
you are
so beautiful
handsome
a face carved by
an artist
You look
like Cobain
but you confuse me
and your words
are an
eternal
paradox
of oxymorons I try
to grasp
Tell me
exactly
what you want
‘Cause if I give you all
and you
don’t take it
it’ll be a waste and
I’ll have nothing
****
Better
Off
I forgot what it was like
to
have you here
listening to everything
you would reluctantly
say
I
forgot what it was like
to have a curfew
and someone to
disappoint
at any time
I
forgot what it was like
to tip-toe through your
eggshells
and
then cut my feet
on glass
I
forgot what it was like
and I’m glad
****
You
Left
You left
Now my poems don’t
rhyme
Anymore
And my sentences fall
To the floor
You’d
pick them up
If you were home
Full
potential
With no inspiration
Or time to laugh
Between
cries
It’s useless to live in a temple
With no god
The
universe without time
You left
****
Petals
of my Daisy
There was a baby with a
strawberry
on the petal of my daisy
Distracted by such cute
sight
I forgot to find out whether
he loves me or not
Then
there was a bird
a bright colored fella
Swimming in the light
blue sky
Singing a melody that made me smile
and dance as the
daisy
went back in the earth
A
tap on my shoulder
My prince’s eyes like the sky
His smile
half-made between
the clumsy beard and mustache
And I fell in
love
Not knowing
Whether he loved me or not
****
Carry
Me
Carry me over the water
That, or
you could swim with me
Oh, yeah, teach me how to swim
Carry
me over the mountain
That, or you could fly with me
Oh, yeah,
teach me how to fly
Carry
me out of the pain
That, or you could feel love with me
Oh,
yeah, teach me how to love
