Inspiration: My palm

were all crushed and then soaked
into a mere speck of dust
that resembled
nothing

Onion
Inspiration: At my cast party they were telling scary stories, so I listened to my ipod and Fidelity played
Word: Hear
Within me,
there is a disheveled whisper-
lusting for a chance to evolve
into an erotic specimen
used to excite your soul.
I want to know you, and understand
the rhythm of your movement
and the experiences that have made you whole,
or even broken.
I want to know what makes your
mind, heart, and legs
open.

here
and cursing himself
for being himself.

in hopes that the next world
would allow him to love
freely
and true.

Morning Glory

that will come before me in the presence
of my reality
I don't really like this

A Quarter for Childhood
Inspiration: Thinking about summer, and how when I was little I was have lemonade stands : )
Summer: Sweet
The taste was numbing
and the smell was enough to
pause anyone who met it,
and order their steps to
it's front line.

earnings were pressed tightly into
what looked like a small cardboard box
of milk
One gulp of the inadequate serving had
your taste buds pleading for more-
quarter after quarter you filled your
warm vessel with puddles that turned into
rivers of sweet innocent
lemonade

confident
to be
or not to be
was her question
never acted on
but always brought about
through subconscious thought
She chose to be the breeze of trouble that chilled her
and made her cool

and she created for herself a cage of nothingness in which she would dwell in
to reflect on the enduring sound of her own nagging

Him through Her

her. and through it he created a life for them
then in her he unmasked himself
(So its real different I guess)

things she could have
been, dread- dread
comes over her, truly
becomes her, she
swallows her pride
and drowns herself
in the silence of not
knowing.
But the it begins to
roar and begs
her to listen
and act
on its behalf
and she runs
towards the life
she never had,
the quiet she never
heard, the love she
thought would hurt.
She runs towards the
ideal of living, of
exhaling her doubts
and contorting herself
into a convoluted
dream of herself.

To the unborn child, Happy Birthday
Inspiration: So I was watching cake boss, and the guys wife had a baby, and that got me thinkin'.
Word: Existence
You only see true light once.
It happens when you're introduced to
the spear of particles we call,
home
The stretching of skin muscles over eyes
work to bring joy to all those in witness.
Your first birthday has come.
Not the one that proves that you're strong enough to
go through one year of the motions of existing,
but the first one that distinguishes you as a
human
as someone who has been noted to have been in this very complex idea we call
existence
You don't have life yet
you haven't gotten enough bruises and
gained enough badges to
have experienced life
You have merely existed
and your journey towards living life is in your hands
Good Luck
and
Happy Birthday
(So it's not really my style at all, but I like trying new things)
