    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.

    you don’t love
    you lose
    with devils on shoulders
    creeps in night
    i outrage in thought
    of us intertwined
    like fire and rights
    rifles in my mind
    masochists in disguise
    for poetry i write
    the devils lips
    your thighs
    against mine

    i fall to breathe
    beneath you in summertime
    before flowers of night
    in time i find us
    reminscing on soft cotton
    sheets of your might
    and i try to remember
    fine times
    lemons and limes
    kissing within the fog
    before oceans kissed us
    and our feet
    next to your house
    on venice way
    in dawn of saturday

    beneath the fog

    And I wonder if the moment I die will know it’s the moment I die.

    Time never touched you. It touched me and then I seemed to regret everything. Your hair in my face, eyes in my mind, a darkness I found in you. But you don’t regret. You hold within. You feel in memory because love lost is still a love once had. You remember passion, conversations over dinner, moments interwoven before each other. We die to live, not die to cry over memories which don’t last our expected timeframe.

    to be a broken virtue
    in south with your could
    bones from legs
    which walked across borders
    in feign of my eyes
    to die in tears
    cry in essence for a missed oasis
    like my hands in your lap
    twisting tongues in hell
    i make you find the darkness
    you broke in me
    to make me who i am
    in this moment
    we pause to reminisce on challenge
    lossless sound in our emotion
    i stand in the open
    fields of our might
    to be interwoven in you and time
    frolicking in the past
    of grass and unspoken words
    before cards were dealt
    hands were held
    on streets at night
    searching for men in terror
    relationship in error
    i found you in eyes
    and i lost you
    in dark desire

    relationship in error
