Untitled #4
Certainty like an iron curtain interwoven with gossimer thread
I create with deliberance this tie to you
not what you said,
or the expectation of something I read
but spinning the belief of what must ultimately be true
overlaying the embroidery inside my head
Where you choose without hesitation
the cessation of doubt like the deep blue
of a summer wave, none left unsaid
Time is unkind and without defeat
I know that love is a two-way street
that belief does not always outwardly repeat
maybe one runs on the path lovers meet
while the other walks
Anticipation
Does this make my wishes for the future untrue?
Submission to doubt, words misconstrue
the problems with me do not lie with you
Though time is unkind, through it I learn
our linear nature, growth happens in turns
there's so many bridges ignorance burns
Walk through the stream
skip stones if you must
but never forget that love lay in trust
and trust lay in time, though time is unkind
what is may never be the tapestry of the mind
and words may never reflect what you mean
if you use words at all
if you abuse words by not using them
or refuse words to inspire doubt because passion is mystery
like starving a lion of its natural cuisine
Deliberation
Forcing the will into manifestation
so that affections are viewed with magnification
Am I impatient? Will the dissipation
of fear come announced with edification?
Does love abolish my fear's justification?
Or am I trapped by time, the base interception
of running and walking remaining the same
so when we meet, the pace at which you love me
wouldn't have mattered anyway
I would love you without needing to restrain
myself and you would know what to say

Untiled #2
Subsume your desires into expectations set by another
Death is a compromise for the weary, defined
by the multitude of voices from which life takes inspiration
Such loneliness for the wavering heart
too weak to power its own ideals
so small it doesn't feel real
separated into parts favoring what others refine
unmarked in the well-trodden path of departation.
Echo and build upon the progress of lost souls
until you too become human

Untitled #1.5
I want to live life without regret as if my whole body is a vessel for the happiness of the moment
as if anticipating the future is not natural
as if the past does not cause my kneejerk reaction to the pain of safety
as if safety itself is a concept I can trust

Untitled #1
Heartsickness
interwoven with vibrance in a tapestry of
wickedness
Tumult in ultramarine, like an ocean breaking inside the skull with the persistence of Athena
I've been through this
irrationality, hope peeking in through the tendrils of a feather
seeping in through dispair- "it'll never get better
Forever is not us together
It'll be something we're unable to weather"
It'll come like the strike of a tack onto leather
and the warmth will withdraw
the tenuous tether of what was expected
unaffected by time and waning in
thickness
Release.
Cease the anticipation of
not living in peace.
Bequeath to the self a pinch of relief
for the audacity that powers the ego through grief.
The cycle repeats
I've been through this, again
recognize with bravado
the timidity ensconced like the seed of an avocado.
False strength with a false name, cloying
like hanging humidity, breathless and
annoying.
Safety is not only external
Love may not be eternal- except
when it is- except
when you get as good as you give
Accept you may love as long as you live
with hope that persistence is not just internal
resist, and break just enough to forgive
yourself, and the cycle will halt for your happiness
or resolve with your growth by your own insistence.
Can one pierce through the circle of doubt?
is my heart a lantern- fierce and without
resistance for change, a flame of subsistence
glistening in carmine like the liver of Prometheus with
the strength to defeat the eagle and bring fire to man
I have been through this, but I know
that I can exist with the permanence of stone upon land
withstanding adaptively to present demands
a reminder that heartache eventually goes.
