If she knew my pen moved
the way her lips do,
Like love keeping others.
How my neck leans
to the pulse.

Only Infatuated with–
Lightning if it strikes me
Thunder if it deafens
The moon if its dark
Roses if you hold’em

make sure to protect your heart
even though it might be breaking
let your pen rest in thought
that it might need mending
stay in love

I found my goddess called
I was catching leaves
falling by the way-
I had a chance to warn you.
Your head low,

Was love
lending
my footprints
a path
walking in the

Somewhere inside the out
It seems nightly
I’m back on both points
I stand for hours
for answers

Don’t move,
Breathe-
forget what you read
Dream,
Sink further

Secretly,
Your angel knew you,
You weren’t always happy here.
Surviving,
This act of living,

My heart will go first
Under my will
A sharp burning
Will replace love,
Nothing new-

i was here
sharing how i feel
with a glass of whiskey
talking back
revealing the sky

And for you–
An exclusive me.
Where my distances have crumbled i
My indifference’s find–
Heavyweights being called for one

Tonight,
I will read my eyes dry
knowing that I can’t express
all my feelings into one book
about my climb or descend

This home made face
busy smiling,
four parts
wanting.
Never sit long enough
