this is all fake
the laughs at the clink of...
Oh, little house, where once I grew,
You hide behind the green...
Mossy forest,
have you ever dreamt of me...
In you, I have found dandelions
a multitude of times...
she cradles darkness, for
her tears crystalize...
I sleep beneath the untamed vines,
On mossy earth and fleshy leaves...
loud noises and flashing lights,
I try to keep them inside but I lose...
Lonely
It creeps up on me...
I was smiling at the red sun over the blue sea.
I was watching the waves, rolling linens...
Like the sky
I give my grief back...
Rowing into the still lake
My heart...
I know your view of the world
has changed since you were...
like waves
on the faraway shores of soft sands...
The cavity in my chest is filled with carbon.
But my eyes still leak shades of aquamarine...
last monday I read a story about a girl running...
and all night I worried about you taking off...
they’re suffocating,
the memories of us...
Sometimes I think I am a flower
I cannot tell myself apart from one...
In that cafe I penned my poems
pinned a living butterfly of my heart...
You parted the sea—your collarbones have become...
and the smile on your lips radiates a warmth...
To love you—is to resign to a fate of...
you macerate all things in life to the point of it...
Dad,
what did I do...
I live in a vessel
But I'm not my home...
Tender is the bud of the flower growing from the...
When the world felt too threatening, I sealed it...
Death,
i see you in the corners of my life...
Homeless.
No one should be allowed...
On quieter days, I catch
myself laying on...
i sat down
with the doctor...
I, who has nothing,
but the remnants of your...
The ocean is fathomless and welcoming.
Arms outstretch above...
white sheets pick at her and
spill into her sagging flesh...
You've gotten so good at destroying yourself.
You implode with the soft gospels of the past...
Shall we feast on the carousel of words that
I will prepare in your honour, tonight...
The world is uneven.
It gave hawks to fishermen...
I keep waking up from a dream
where we swallow memories whole...
I suppose I don’t really need the memories
of that Spring Saturday on the boardwalk...
come near –
i promise you it’s safe again...
I sit and drink my coffee
and I wonder briefly about the universe...
april, with bloodied fists, heaving breath finds
respite where your clavicle meets your sternum...
I'm in a place I can't explain.
A deep, hard to kick sort of pain...
crumple this up after you're done reading
because honesty is a beast in drunken stupor...
last night, i dreamt of your hands wrapped tightly
around my neck, wringing it like a hand-washed...
You can burn me, use me, cut me down to size,
But that won't make me less than what I already am...
you were born quiet;
a frozen and dormant caterpillar...
Do not ask me to live.
You alone...
You hug the earth
tightly with your...
I was some place I wanted to be, an I had to leave...
I was some place I wanted to be, an I laughed it...
the sky closes her eyes
and you feel your body...
I've got books in places where there should be...
Words scribbled so neatly on my legs they look...
Here?
I told you. Gloomy are the days of the...
you
won’t...
sprawled across the bed, your bosom
rises and collapses, like your one deep...
a little past midnight, and i'm spilling again -
in a drunken stupor, and i'm spilling all the...
septemper held the corner of my cotton dress and
whispered to me that she had prepared my...
Silence did not treat you
the way he treated me...
Just tell me
who you want me to be...
He came to me
from the corner...
Your memory feels like
fog with no lighthouse...
Only when trees shed
and winds shake...
This year began
with a poetic yawn...
I don’t have space
for grief...
The shadow visits me when the moon
unravels his luminous beauty, swaying...
*Alarm, snooze.*
*Alarm, snooze.* *Alarm, snooze...
fixated on your protruding collarbones,
i swallow the evening sun, bathing in the...
The roaring went on,
as your scribbling drafted...
I watched how my faith faded right in front of me.
So, I turned loquacious...
A snake hangs limply from a
knotted branch, its...
I wonder if death
takes us to the sun...
Transparent water bottles
smell of fresh books...
We, right here, in
the furthest east...
We are locked in our lighthouses,
and the chasms of ocean...
*** This is a poem that recycles bits and pieces...
All my life I’ve tried so hard to become a happy...
One day I will be my own happy poem.
I will wake up with a soul...
It seems we’re staring at the same wall.
A blank sheet with all the ink in the world and...
"Ich bin müde, immer müde zu sein"
I am tired of always being tired...
You can't hate your country.
You think you do...
I say I want to place a period
behind your name, but everytime...
Who are you today?
The first few minutes after...
with a poem in my heart,
and wine in my belly...
my love,
when y/our world seems barren...
Let me tell you
about the struggle...
Sometimes it feels like my soul is a record...
Not some fancy state-of-the-art machinery...
There is an intersection
within my imagination...
1
Tomorrow...
There it is. A glowing dot
in the sky. You could hear it's whistle...
Sometimes
I desire myself...
we carry the hurt in our hearts,
swallowing it every time our...
Lately,
Lately I feel stuck...
Let me breathe
Let me breathe in these blades...
The plague of the USA.
At the Giant Eagle checkout...
The mental blackout curtains,
the heavy, wet fabric laid on my cerebellum...
Some people are power washers.
Some people are chainsaws...
Women like you
are lonely...
I can’t write you poetry,
play guitar...
That boy is not the world,
And he will leave you shaking in the shower...
Get me off my lazy bum
and back into action...
The world is crumbling,
life has gone insane...
The bosoms of swollen meadows
drizzles...
I began to fall
like a soft, summer rain...
The reason we keep on going
is that we are not going anywhere...
In summer, we used to drive to demolition sites...
we'd chat. You told me you loved to watch falling...
Windchill is howling in my veins,
as on the windows of these trains...
The colour fades
from her cheeks...
Today marks one hundred years
ago the first world war came to an end...
Nights like these, I can't tell if I love her or...
I'm obsessed equally with the faint...
I am used to the wind filling in
the cracks of doors and insisting...
Love knows no boarders
Love knows no boundaries...
Amber leaves
tumble from octopus limbs...
Sadness, could you disappear for a while?
Your haunting spirit always lingers...
A child running free,
sweet sounds of laughter...
Tell me all your thoughts about the
stars that fill the moon lit skies...
Flesh comes to contact with thoughts,
A mesmerizing enigma of will...
Flashes of brilliance
swirl through the...
I want to feel the sky vibrate,
Like your skin upon my cheek...
When I met you, it was like youd shot across my...
How I longed for you to lay next to me...
There is a weight on my shoulders
A heavy burden no one person should undertake...
Between the shadows
rest a place where I find...
Faith keeps me alive-
for it is engraved in my veins...
The sun rises for a time
But the night is always longer...
Twilight skies twist aging star trails
Over hidden treetops long forgotten...
Lingering anticipation escapes from my vulnerable...
Building up the impatience that crawls within me...
I walked in nightfall,
Stumbling along sinister lines...

Writer's note: Had to put a * in between the word...
Sometimes,
when the wind eases...
All done; done all.
Revised, I must be wise...

The darkness takes over me once again. Stronger...
Eyes
peering into my soul...
Chunks of snow dwindle,
stealing away spring's spotlight...
Globs of beautiful romantic colors drip with ease...
down a vacant canvas thirsty for love and beauty...
Welcome to Heads Up Hospital
Where every soul inside is content...
Bruised, broken, tattered and torn,
Only from these will love be born...
Work your magic across the sky
Midnight Moon, pearlescent queen...
My wings flutter slightly
I'm trying to cope...
The moon shines beautifully
The cool, clear water swirls all around me...
I hate this place,
And all the faces I see...
The winds rustle the greenery,
Bringing whispers from the past...
The silence is what hurts the most.
The unsaid still lingering in his head...
Ones you love wont hang around,
People you trust will let you down...
Listen to the quiet voices of the wind
The lost sounds of hope and young love...
What is the meaning of true friendship,
now that i would like to know...
I want to be like the angel that was canonized a...
As a messenger of God, what a picture I could...
The fire blazes
Burning bright...
Take a breath
Step away...
This could be the last time
We ever see each other...
You open your eyes for nothing
Waiting for a call, but no one rings...
Just a little thank you poem to my family...
If roses grow in heaven
lord please pick a bunch for me...
Every time the night comes and covers the sky with...
I see myself staring at those bright stars...
Its just something about him
that gets me every time...
Life is like writting with a pencil
It takes time to learn how to control it...
Life is so sweet when young
Everything seems so easy...
(S) Sun shining in the sky
(U) Underneath an umbrella in the shade...
I've watched the world falling away,
The fluorescent colors fading to gray...
The words they flow onto the page,
And express the way I feel...
Looking out over treetops,
You can see the sky at all times...
White mist whips around me,
I am riding on faith...
A forest of trees and grass and sunlight,
The smell of autumn hangs heavy in the air...
I meet you a while back
you were as sweet as can be...
So i have known you for a while
we have had time to get to know each other...
Everyone gathers near,
To laugh and cheer...
Beneath the darkened sky
Is this image of you and i...
I am just a leaf
that feel from a green tree...
Whenever he puts,
His soft,warm hands around my waist...
I always kept the words,
The one's...
I remember the day when we had our first kiss
It is a day that I don't really miss...
Summer nights,
Laying outside with you...
When I feel like crying,
Your shoulder is always there...
It feels so hard to breathe, whenever I'm around...
The days are long
But the nights are longer...
How many roads would I need to take,
Before she fall from grace...
As I sit with her on a bench in the park
I look into her eyes and I feel a spark...
The rain pours outside and the fire glows inside
It's dark so she can barely see...
I'm lost in the Darkness,
A place of vast plains...
You come from behind me
Resting your head on mine...
As we sit in the snow white sand,
And the waves crash upon the shore...
As I've grown I've learned several things
Life is full of dissapointments...
Look into your heart
search your inner soul...
What is this after me?
A green monster that I see...
There is freedom in departing
From far away we learn we were once one...
Empty spaces, surround me. Empty spaces is all I...
Empty spaces, that once was filled, leaves me with...
I have demons
But he doubts them...
Since my brain can't cup anything
Let me do the thing that I love doing...
I had a nightmare
last night that my hair...
The house I live in,
is a dress that's loose...
There are two of you now,
Ghosts hiding within the brownish green...
This woman is not a woman.
she is a sort of bendable agony...
It is not that someone directly tells you that you...
you grow up and its not that you weren't pretty...
Mostly
I think that I am going to die alone...
This poem is fictional -
I did not slice through my heart...
You're drowning,
And very well-aware...
Life is about finding your sun-
finding your happiness...
Tucked away safely
within a closet...
I'm frightened by the things
I cannot see...
Sometimes, sadness
is a weight...
I...
I offered to you,
-all I had...
Melting rust.
A beautiful characterization...
Broken Morse-code pierced the formaldehyde-stained...
tracking the ever-dulling beats of your blessed...
Be, be my side - just
strum my fingertips...
Out of a bundle of firsts, the elementary, comes...
of love. And everyone, the self proclaimed...
The street lights don't hold us
anymore; there are only clouds and curtains...
A beat that leaps--way too far
with hesitant promises and...
Day stands atop its head
plum-faced and emasculated...
Shuffling through the pages
of time immemorial...
These smooth tones
are filling the room...
Tears are welled up inside me,
Trying to keep them from falling...
Lemon drop rays
smile upon cerulean...
This is not going to be elegant,
nor polished, as sliver spoons...
