because we all must die

Perfections toll eating acid like my empty shell of a heart
a heart still echoing the beat of one hand clapping
clapping for you for everything you've ever done
laying me out, next to you
under the earth
to a death worthy of this only Life.

We were dancing to everything
relentless as the waves that break and burn as the world turns
wearing me out, falling me down
tearing love itself apart.

Legacy of time leaning out to hold us,
these growing years
ticking down to this old moment
rolling over my naked soul
all I ever am
most finally okay with me.

the curve of remembering

And when I opened my eyes they were all right there again

staring as if it were my own wake at which I have awoken

(and maybe it is)

and yet the loneliness remains

no longer a ravenous beast who would devour me

just a boy who has lost his father

a shadow with good reason not to trust the light

in this storey wrote beyond it's happy ever after

until everything I'm wanting to forget forgo's me

And I want all of it right back, like life wants you. 

God Crush

how easily I turned with the world dancing under my stumbling feet

like a skittish horse, believing in my own myth

but never really knowing what I wanted to begin with.

Hungry for the weight of reasons I could never bear,

to hold me in the way of what God never would.

to know how good wrong could feel

and be scarred by the light

of what omnipotence really means 

We can start again,

each second another chance for loves heart to beat, 

life deep and sweet 

pressed into this skin 

wearing 7 billion faces

each and every none of them like me

Maitreya

Late the words move to align themselves about me
because even in the silence I never ceased to hear you sing
I still look for you in my dreams you know
when we meet there sometimes, you are the same friend
I guess I never really allowed myself to know.
Now winters coat is losing her feathers, as we don't speak.
And when the loneliness comes I'm glad she's finally here

uncomunication

The silence reaches out from inside me

turning my head, dropping my eyes from your gaze

where I have already drowned.

and it is still then,

although doubt fills the empty space I once called Love;

Good and right and hopeless as only God can be. 

Please prove a Robot

You will see
times face turning, arms swinging
too tired not to sing
these quiet love songs
words that mean nothing
but everything
I want you too feel
the poetry for yourself
of yourself
everything connected
always all ways
patently paitently incorrect
just like me.

Love threats

Get it all wrong
Be alright anyway.


Don't tell me love is just another word;
the only reason we have words give voice to this thing that posses us.
And we never will, not all of it, not completely
because if we could it wouldn't be Love. 
Not really.
