i met you on a friday night
it was all good and fun
i was stressed and fatigue
i knew im out of your league
but well i tried

i tried and i tried and i tried
having your attention
i lied and i lied and i lied
to earn your affection

when the party was over
you said let’s grab a toaster
and then you took me over
we got in to your rover

then days and weeks came and went
but granny had a heart attack
you said depression sucked 
and you only felt love 
when you were drunk

i tried and i tried and i tried
stopping you, making you stay
i lied and i lied and i lied
to look like im okay

you are an alcoholic 
no heart but many lovers
our love was narcotic
daydreaming like it’s summer

i wish we could go back
i wish you were sober
i think that it’s so bad
that i am so so sad
while here you are over
this shit

i wish i could go back
i wish i could know that
if you loved me in that moment
when your eyes weren’t open
and the time got frozen
real quick

Modern artist, face the mirror,
Not closet drama, faceless killers.
Lost in waves of wonder,
Are we not just slave for silver?
Target markets, water watchers,
Ask Martin Arnold:
Do cranial ridges game the system,
Worship quantum like heart of darkness?

Bonnet drama,
Common knowledge,
Copper dollars,
Collared scholar,
Blame the victim.

Chord dissonant,
World lissome, and handsome,
Magnificent.

Is this it? Chortle ignorant,
A turn with the guns, cannons,
Munificence.

Fishermen old,
Where is yours? 
A thirst of knowledge,
fyords and comments.
Participant bored,
Answers of nonsense,
Can a parrot talk,
conjugate or long?

What color am I?
It asks with a song,
Replies loathsome,
Bandied to a swan.
Grey says the voices,
Not what you are,
But of your choices,
Monsieur.

im so high
and not because of drugs
but because of love
it’s alright
i said what ive said
and i meant what ive meant
it’s so nice

i just wanna be yours
wanna be close
wanna mean more
to you
i just wanna see you
wanna kiss you
wanna hear more
from you

and baby maybe it’d a big mistake
to tell you i cant live without you,
but only the dead dont make mistakes
and im so alive when i think ‘bout you.

i hope you’ll find peace in me
cause i found peace in you
and i know that im kinda freaky,
it’s cuz im crazy in love with you.

for freedom id give my life 
for love id give my freedom 
for you id give my love
my life now has a reason 

im trying so hard not think about you,
not fall in love with you.
but what if it’s too late?
and if it’s too late,
baby what should i do?

what should i do when everything’s against this love?
what should i do when i dont know what you want?
what should i do when i have so many questions
but dont know the answers?
what should i do when,
what should i do when,
baby what should i do?

I am a infinite work in progress.
Who I was yesterday is not who I am now is not who I will be tomorrow.
However long it takes me to answer, the clock keeps ticking.
The past increases, the future recedes.

I'm not me, I'm a traveler.
Whatever I do, wherever I go, it will pass.
When whenever ends, finally I will know rest.
Peace.

if you round up, i am a lesbian.
if you round down, i am still a lesbian, just a little less.

do you know if love has a definition, an concrete interpretation?
how do i explain the terror in my chest when i look in your face?

i do not know what it feels like to love and be loved.
unconditionally, that is.

i imagine that not all kisses go well.
would you like to test that hypothesis?

of course i am honest with you.
what other choice do i have?

this is more sincere than poetry.
anything could be more sincere than poetry.

Do oranges have soul?
Does it make the juice taste more?
When I eat them, do they know?
Sparkling orange meat oceans
Hope to hold
Could I, myself, become a bowl?
Alas, to be Mimosa Mix
Can Oranges feel regrets and woes?
Drink my blood straight from my chest
Pop a bottle
Drink some more
My heart's behest

Bin thinking all night
Which goes outside
Bin worried of bin left out
Too much trash inside my house

Do neighbors above jest?
When no one bin in flight
Do the angels laugh at our distress?
Despite a sky with all yards in sight

In desserts I have bin
Now I know which truck rolls in
Now my neighbors learn from me
My bin is full of trash and now
Peace

Before you my heart was empty. When you came into my life, my heart became full with your smile, your life, your sense of humor. Man, you know how to make my knees tremor. You are the reason my heart smiles.

She says with her eyes: I am gone,
Evil days begone though.
Friday I am home,
Peace be with you, they say some words;
"Does a partridge purr?
Does a catalogue write itself?"
Words themselves can be like a cone,
Until one meanders about the dwelling.
Lonely girl, what do I know?
Is not the world yours to sell?
Would Lucky keep a sword or bow?
Would she emblazon her chest,
With Lions, giants, family crests,
Sayings of young exuberance,
No room for the later lessons.
Spear and shield,
All you need is God's help,
Divine wealth, stature,
Time and a long winter,
Along those lines,
I feel you'll get better.
No sous vide or fried Kelp.

Write your life, line by line,
From post to post, time in finite, 
Decide.
Vibration is not entirety,
Leave flying to the pilot,
Masons, vocational thieves.
Applause,
Songs written of concepts,
Concert to the rest, nonsense.
Only to soothe the soul,
One forgives and consoles,
Otherwise the wise have but knowledge,
Lies are all but college,
Which behold, 
Yet deny all the garbage they bestow.

Take your hits, pipe by pipe,
From fist to fist, time is final,
Less vital due to all your fighting.

Misunderstood lyrics, Reverend,
Had you not asked of my kids,
Or the loved ones I cherished?
Thorough I write my kinship,
Kingship, flagship furlough,
No science to write myself,
Is it just lies of unknowns,
Just lies, unknowingly,
Trust dying in fun foals,
Or stampedes around the field,
Not Informed of where they going?
Can God even hear a man when he moans,
Does he cover an ear, hope and pray?
Does he occasionally call things gay?
You misunderstand my intention,
No questions ponder foolish in heaven,
God's gift could be enjoying the stay.

Horns, voice of the poor,
Holy, vision is only.
Rather, than coroner's noise,
Throw the dice of paradise your holding.
Father, can corners point?
How can a leader lead,
Scared of people peeping,
Their knowledge growing.
To plough after planting seeds,
Scared of people leaving,
Father, am I to join?
I feel my collage is nothing,
My college is nodding,
Politicians are nodding,
Should I be hoar myself,
Before myself?
Should I embrace my life,
Before death?
Should I allow imbibing,
Am I building a shelf,
Or finding myself?

Pence felt worth, more than all,
Dirty and small, spending curt.
Maybe to shout,
Maybe to doubt,
Chasing two shorelines,
Given scourge or knout.
Schoolyards abound,
Fence built high, to the clouds.
Fools abundance, mountain climb,
Peace can be free, expensive as dying,
Riddled with fear unknown, prying,
Heavy to swing for liars.
Fences can be expressive as lessons,
Lesions on the back of your neck,
Illegal, yet a photography session,
Perhaps I soon like Kim can attest.

Leased bells, music borrowed,
Please, tell me of tomorrow,
Of swallows leaving belfries, 
How else can my ears will,
Until I hear their sorrow?

Peter, son my lover callous,
Draperies and linen, down,
Failure? This linebacker asks,
Just throw my ball, pass,
Runs forever to never catch,
How will I know his sorrow?

Unless he is, as a tinder match,
Tender lover of impossible tasks,
Inflamed tether, ball impassible,
Gasoline for the man who hits.

Our life together you and me,
Will always be worth a million you will see,
Cause I know how we need each other,
You and me together forever,
Just wait and see god will be proud,
You'll see,
What we built just you and me,
In this world that we could never see,
What was gonna be, when you and me looked at each other,
On that beautiful day,
Now look what has come out of loving each other,
You and me!

-Do you see this empathy i have?
The sincerity i have?
The forgiveness i have chosen to give?
For not just my mistakes but yours,
i'm willing to forgive. 
Sorry, that was a lie! I can't forgive. 

Not for 'how not bothered you are of how little you have seen. 
But maybe the fact you have never wanted to even get to know me. 
Never really knowed me. 

I suppose i can never understand/get over just how quickly you disowned me. 
Maby you could at least help me see your point of view, 
whatever it may be-

It will help me to at least get a glimpse of me-e

Serendipity
Crystals oscillate 
But do they know my fate?
Mistle over Berry Boys
Enjoying only tasting plates
Employment? Great
Drain my juice all day
Crystal, let us both rejoice
Mimosas mixed with more mimosas? Greater
What do crystals know of taste or choice?
