In front of this light.

This light.It flickers above the street as if to tell me something.It’s more of a blaring motion than a flicker… but it’s just as moving.And it’s beautiful to watch and witness the structure we put up come alive on its own.None of the other lights are talking tonight.It takes my thoughts away.This light is warning … Read more

It’s like flipping the last page of a book you just can’t put down. Reading that final sentence to tie up the story in a beautiful bow. You go back to page 1 and read the first word and then back to read the last. And you’re sad you’ve read every little piece to the puzzle … Read more

Farthest down, all the way to the right.

And it scares me. Ever get weak knees?Well, I got ’em.Ever heard of weak feet?Me neither.I got those too.I’m the sun of this physical disaster.You see, I’ve felt pretty.I’ve felt beauty.I’ve felt gorgeous breathing upon my ear.I’ve felt sight for years and years.Standards only take seconds to begin yet last lifetimes.Did you see what it looked like?You … Read more

A girl that goes to the movies, but watches the extras.

And I’ll go to sleep without an imaginary kiss,From the imaginary lips,Of someone who doesn’t exist.For the first time in a long one I struggle to envision a face next to mine.The face of a girl so wanderingly desired to think about before I succumb to slumber.The portrait of a love to dream to,while she … Read more

Like a flight through part 2.

I swear the clouds looked a little different with that light shining through it. It just had to get those beams out high enough where we could see them. Maybe to try and show us something. Scattered and chaotic they looked. Maybe to try and tell us something. But don’t fright love. It is only … Read more

I predicted this a few weeks before the outing.

These tactics are becoming like the air we breathe in this city of the angels. They seem more reserved for children of the age of G.I. Joe’s and Sing-A-Longs. Not a thing can alter the mind. Did you know that? It’s set to default and no one has the password. You pride on being so … Read more

A wisp of color in black and white.

I’m like a bullet idle in a magazine ready for its chance to fly. I’m like a bomb waiting for the gun powder to trickle down to my eruptive explosion. But Sweetie, I am not filled with anger. I’m filled with beauty! ready to burst with a touch of potential. I want to shower my … Read more

Light.Sensation

Oh, how I can see thee more simple. With fields of golden grass and the fences that divide. The wooden ones we just hop over. Because we don’t believe in telephones. Why should we when a run to your yard will do? Oh and how simple we had it! The sun in the morning and the … Read more

Failure @ Peace Four Your EXISTence.

Oh! What difficulty! To see it but close your eyes to it. To hear it but ignore everything it means. The struggle to accept. This struggles to object. And I know it exists. I do. History may not show the logic. It’ll show you the dreams. But because the stat book doesn’t show it doesn’t … Read more

The day breaks in Burma.

They say it’s 20 but it’s more like 100. The dead are thrown into rivers. The living wait. But at 135 mph we are too slow to run. So we do with what we can. But it’s not fast enough or enough. But I think we think slow. Get it? And as the morning breaks, … Read more
