    supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

    the way i looked at you, a kid with the moon
    your skin so soft and smooth, like rain drops on glass
    i sit in the past, reflect on how the plane took off without a doubt
    and how this drought was so far from the scheduled route

    i have and i gave and i did and i’ll always love you
    i know blue is the color of sadness and inside your apathetic
    but you know i’d die to reverse with you
    when blue was just a color and eyes had no hidden crimes

    they say time is of the essence but i know there’s no heaven
    i know there’s no hell and what we have now, we might as well
    i’ve died and i’ve cried and i’ve lied and boy, have i fried
    but things come and go, they glow and grow — sometimes without you

    but i wish we were young and my heart wasn’t strung on a string that you lead
    to days when we twirled our fingers on cords without memorizing our words
    how we could’ve swung on a swing and flung like a bee
    the day i didn’t comprehend the feeling of giving my lungs
    and the only thing on our mind was who could use the bigger word without biting their tongue

    I believe in moments and I think all this was supposed to happen. You changed the way I see a lot of things, the way I think, the way I feel, but most importantly, you taught me I could love someone else a whole lot more than I love myself. So I just wanted to say thank you for that.“
    "I wish someone could show me that too,” as he looked me in the eye and gave one last hug.

    May you suffer enough tragedy to gain a vast knowledge and understanding of life.

    perpendicular

    he says my pseudonym fits me well, but doesn’t know i vacation to hell
    i dwell in the past and lie in dead grass that once burned holes in my soul
    i know void like freud knew psychoanalysis
    but i live in my psychosis and wonder if he knows it

    him, he’s sweet like maple and hides in a mind he can’t seem to find
    everything’s green, flows with sweet; nothing seems obsolete
    he needs life like i need death — i could break your neck and fall in love
    what he doesn’t understand is that life is pull and tug

    i play in streets and need offbeat, i need knees and i need heat
    sweat for love and lust of the gone as i hold forth for dawn
    a yawn for his love, a yawn for his tune and how he sees the used
    everyone needs a bruise, everyone needs a scar — yet i need far

    far with a metaphorical sense of come and go, a tour of the world
    to feel your door, spin in your world and leave you curled
    but i hurl at your please, hurl for your heavenly
    you say yes as i say no, you adjust as i say fuck no

    i twirl the pole and look you in the eye, “i hope it isn’t so”
    ‘cause i need your disapproval as i feed off your negative
    your mind is my festival and my festival is your horrible
    you keep parallel, but i’ll stay perpendicular
    while you go and i meet and live life how it’s supposed to be

    When you fall in love, they become flawless but what’s dangerous is sometimes you’re meant to see those flaws.

    I believe I’ve already met my soulmate and even if I’m not his, the memory makes me smile because it was truly beautiful.

    the brain

    if you want to take me, rape me – have your way with me
    i’m fine, but only because i drift with light and flow with snow
    creating my past with ways of dance and craze
    solemnly live in daze and days where i can’t sleep
    but i seethe with rain and bask with questions that lead chance

    people asked, but i always said to myself, “please don’t tell”
    occasionally dwell in the past and smack my face to feel the pain
    but i knew alive and i thrive thinking of the future
    when life hurts and i’m not the one touching you

    always the colors, motions and things i said
    the way i lie in the back of your mind, frolicking with every emotion
    touching your occipital, i change the way you see
    creating hallucinations of myself just to watch you cry

    you think i died, but i’m with the light – i’m the ghost with your fright
    the day you raped, but now i play with your limbic
    you mimic my emotions as i bring you to your knees
    begging please as i scatter sand through your cortex

    i’m with you, like blue with the sky
    how i was once good, now mad with bad and sad with rage
    lust the stage as you did on the day you took my soul
    played in what wasn’t yours, but now the fires in my eyes
    one day i’ll make you die, but i have my light and your fright
    as i kickback and sit in the back of your mind

    broken promise

    we said forever
    but i’m in the hereafter
    i can’t seem to find you anywhere

    in the air

    sea of the night, he floats with fright
    hush little boy, don’t cry
    the sorrow fills, his eyes flutter as i tell him another
    “if you loved me, why’d you leave me broken hearted,” he said

    i admit, i stuttered and my eyes spoke hatred
    i was once kind, left no one behind and never belittled
    but now i walk without gratitude and belittle the littlest
    the pain hovers and my anger glows
    i wish i knew, i wish i flew, but i hop on one — maybe one day i’ll stop

    i give it all, yet these waves fill my head
    the sonic boom speaks a love for doom, a love for watching you
    suffer and kill, my motto for love and lust
    especially now since i’ve spoken so much disregard for love

    but i shove like a metaphor for the blind sea
    i can see your eyes and how they fear
    if only you knew, if only life wasn’t a screw for me
    the used, the words and how they never would construe

    i rinse the shampoo — i could never ever review
    my words, my truth, your soul is my fuel
    but i’m a phantom for your magic, essentially an addict to your tragic
    the reds, yellows and longing days where i need you

    my sea, my mind, my eyes are things i strive for
    the way i long at doors and how i lust to touch pours of the bruised
    i kiss, but never tell and dwell on the past like a relic for your angelic
    i use sayings and phrases and days with moments, scents with words
    but sometimes i wish i never did board that plane
    if only i knew i would’ve caused so much pain

    advice to a writer would be…?

    face death, get your heart broken, have everything you’ve ever worked for taken away – i think people need to truthfully understand emotions to grasp words. 

    but one thing – when i know i’m in a moment, i always write down my surroundings, conversations, etc.
