i fall asleep
with you by my door
tossing and turning
feigning for more
than our dreams to be
nostalgic by time
darkened meanings
i close my eyes
to see you in night
hovering beside
and i talk to feel
with emotion than touch
vivid motions break by core
and we’re standing in beds
expecting more
than what we’re given in time
and i ask you to speak
to converse over this
we’re swaying in time
before oceans could tide
rapids would pull
and sense makes nothing
until it does to you
which is why i explain
in rhyme for you
the reasons this could
but time made it couldn’t
our past remembers
life sweeter than
it was

It never truly mattered. None of it. Neither of us. It was one out of billion moments and I took it for more than it was; that’s why we’re always so brokenhearted.

twisting you beneath
my time in night
i shake you
to please you
we sway
from rhyme to rhyme
breaking rules
bending you right
and i feel
to touch you internally
breaking on blue tides
in my mind to caress you
yet we’re wallowing in disrespect
fueling toxic for this to make sense
i rake your leaves to leave you loveless
you tango through our vicinity
leaving us both heartless
and i die in you
to feel nostalgia for a few
seconds in remembrance
times in moments
our emotions before foreign -

I said your name five times too many because I was searching to see if you came when I needed you.

two in the morning
thoughts of glass
broken in thought
by you in my head
of past romance
and wobbling knees
terror in defeat
of you beneath my sheets
envisioning us
in depth
between cracks of pages
i never made sense
of how we left
open pages on shelves
and love in garbage cans -
Read more: Where does your inspiration for writing come from? How do you re-inspire yourself when inspiration is what you are lacking?
My inspiration comes from little things. I look at conversations, the way people grasp, reflections of their clothing and personality. You can write about anything and create metaphors from it.
When lacking, I usually write for 15 seconds without thinking and seeing if it makes sense and then making sense of it.

I was nineteen. You had your lips on my neck and whispers in my ear. You drove me crazy. But I mistook crazy for absolute happiness.

i fell in love
with the idea of us
twisting in words
breaking backs
in tune of twenty-two
and we age in
fine time and blurred lines
squeezing lemons
for men out of might
and we skip on fine lines
in white noise
to find ourselves in tune
with scribbles on blank pages
journals from our childhood
and i write to quake
tremble between words
in our truth
and i said i loved
but i lust ideas
two souls on a blank page
reminiscing over dinner
with romantic qualities
within each other
yet words scribe our moments
emotions hold our motions
hands grip like ideas grasp
our lips and create thunder
i feel i love on different pages
than the books they read
we fine tune moments for
our own pleasing
i fall in love with the idea
of two at a dinner table
while the tables spinning
and chairs turn
from forward to reverse
our moments twine under
what motions we share
and i find at twenty seven
we quake for hope
because hope is what we hold
and our moments are either
short or long
and sometimes moments
are not enough at all
yet it’s what we take
them for -

drafts on your skin
words of your neck
i’m spinning in heaven
caressing in hell
we’re dancing as if
we’re the only ones
here -

I told you I loved you, but I said it a little too late. You move in time and sometimes our timing is against one another.
