if i regret your love
i must forget the city's sunlight
and a bus ride
those sirens and a hasty breakfast
write a parable
across a cell phone
you can't murder a memory
so don't neglect
the fire in those moments
each poem digs its roots into
the freckles on his back
i won't forget it
She came from the moon many years ago. She does not remember when, but it feels like yesterday. She is still learning about this world. Learn with her tenderly.

dreams are buildings
dreams are buildings
towers are flowers
I am blossoming
towards the blue
your quaking is an aching
and I am fervent
for your hope
all words are evil
after you've used them twice
i am intoxicated by you
refrain from wringing
the curtains
in your grasping
your ears angle
towards a shy
fluttering of
your eyes
the curtains
in your grasping
your ears angle
towards a shy
fluttering of
your eyes
haunches
the human-without shelter
a book of love
the haunches bringing buoyance
a full smile
is strengthened by release
the beast counts my fibers
and counts me to be
one of these
but I grow
and you are my rose
i am waiting- crying
i was never more happy
Your Membrane
Mind me baby
I don't mind you
We are trying
the telling pall
I'll give you love
if that's what you want
You are someone
that I could love
Your membrane
soothes me
and glues the two
fruits into smoothies
you blue brained
baby
love me
I don't mind you
We are trying
the telling pall
I'll give you love
if that's what you want
You are someone
that I could love
Your membrane
soothes me
and glues the two
fruits into smoothies
you blue brained
baby
love me
Knowing
I don't know much
besides
the trees
but I do care about
you
and
me
and that means more
than knowing
besides
the trees
but I do care about
you
and
me
and that means more

A Home for Small Words
Can we give these small
words a home
Between your lips
I'll watch them unfold
and I will fall in love with you again
You can do things with
These words that
I am afraid to do
Your voice is more brave
My voice is afraid
My words can find a home
being held by your tongue
I love you in this
words a home
Between your lips
I'll watch them unfold
and I will fall in love with you again
You can do things with
These words that
I am afraid to do
Your voice is more brave
My voice is afraid
My words can find a home
being held by your tongue
I love you in this
This
I want to show you this star in the sky, which has caught my eye like the softness in your gaze
I'm daydreaming for days
I want to show you this star in the sky
because I'm wondering why
you never knew that I loved you
Small words
I.
He is embraced by the column of light
In the forest underground
He told me about the way that
Music makes him feel
II.
We must run so fast or the movements won't work
and the feelings won't line up quite right
III.
I want to love you secretly
because that would be
a special thing
I would ask nothing of you
and I would treasure you
for being what you are

@Hershey Park
She had a petulance
in her neck
hard and fast to dictate
the retreating gaze
and eyebrows
The borderline of
grassy knolls
each one
more green
than the other
She cast this fragment
of grass
Over her shoulders
and he grew
to love the
sky more
than gravel and grass
Its safe here
we can achieve
lets build
skyscrapers
in this earth
he sailed
away that
night to
the land
of mountains
and trees
skyscrapers
built themselves
in her neck
hard and fast to dictate
the retreating gaze
and eyebrows
The borderline of
grassy knolls
each one
more green
than the other
She cast this fragment
of grass
Over her shoulders
and he grew
to love the
sky more
than gravel and grass
Its safe here
we can achieve
lets build
skyscrapers
in this earth
he sailed
away that
night to
the land
of mountains
and trees
skyscrapers
built themselves
12:30
Give me the celebrating feelings
Forwards
Are you a flower
I hate flowers
Are you my lover
I hate lovers
Give me the ribbons to tie round my
neck

Something
What is a poem? That feeds the craving in you, better than any love. What do your bones need more than that marrow of the word and its skeleton. It is that song.
Who I am is Alive
Marry me marry me marry
you cycle the wishes well meaning
What did you mean to say?
I washed your hair in the winter
You bit into my mind
without tasting anything
You let me be your fool
Spring chased our love away
I am an evolution charging
time loops
a dream
undying
I let myself cease with you
Now I am true
blue and flowing
you cycle the wishes well meaning
What did you mean to say?
I washed your hair in the winter
You bit into my mind
without tasting anything
You let me be your fool
Spring chased our love away
I am an evolution charging
time loops
a dream
undying
I let myself cease with you
Now I am true
blue and flowing

Heyooo
Can we go to Egypt?
-maybe in the summertime
I will wear my favorite shoes
I will wear them anyways,
Like when I wore them on the moon.
Remember when we went to the moon and I
wanted to bring my cat?
You wouldn't let me so I hid her
In the secret room of our spaceship
That you didn't know about.
She loved the moon,
especially when we went spelunking.
I am wearing my favorite shoes now
While I think of the moon
and Egypt
and summertime.

Destroy You
I am my father's daughter
I am not to be molded by human hearts
Clairvoyance is my song
Which I will destroy you with
Every soul is glowing pink
With this knowledge
I commune with the poets
For my feelings are the truth
And your condescension makes
Me want to destroy you
It hurts me to be harmed by the
Look in your eyes
Because I am human as you
Won't you step down from your
pedestal
I seek to be humble and passive
for the respect you are due
But maybe
I am changing in my desire
To destroy you
I am not to be molded by human hearts
Clairvoyance is my song
Which I will destroy you with
Every soul is glowing pink

And your condescension makes

Poem
In the wide brooming suncraft I
try to sing
In Blooming in towards my laughter I
try to sing. but I try to sing through such
a brittle frame is far away
and singing through the fear and
frightened sandcrafts- I forfit my voice
try to sing

Oranges
I went to the side of the street
To the cart full of oranges
They reminded me of you
In this dream of oranges
You are orange
I thought of your hand and my hand
That night
I was a clumsy dancer
The oranges from the cart
Spilled across the street
The oranges rolled amongst the people
I dove to the ground and
I grazed my knee
Someone stepped on my finger
At least I grabbed one orange
And I thought of you
To the cart full of oranges
They reminded me of you
In this dream of oranges
You are orange
I thought of your hand and my hand
That night
I was a clumsy dancer
The oranges from the cart
Spilled across the street
The oranges rolled amongst the people
I dove to the ground and
I grazed my knee
Someone stepped on my finger
At least I grabbed one orange
And I thought of you

Before I left you I had these words
Bitter beams hold these arms up
With sultry canvased frowns abounding
Dictated dreams land
Harsh to the gravel ground
No flowers
Clean spirit, you, and fresh fruit
My cerebral ribbons spring
Clear wires
Steep fibers
Dark with the oceans that climb
The walls and my home
And my lonesomeness
I dream five wires out to you
Come climb my walls
and make that ocean spark you
into blue
That's how the first forest grew
Don't let me tempt you
With sultry canvased frowns abounding
Dictated dreams land
Harsh to the gravel ground
No flowers
Clean spirit, you, and fresh fruit
My cerebral ribbons spring
Clear wires
Steep fibers
Dark with the oceans that climb
The walls and my home
And my lonesomeness
I dream five wires out to you
Come climb my walls
and make that ocean spark you
into blue
That's how the first forest grew
Don't let me tempt you
The Red Good Way
My floorboards and a mouse
My brittle house is dying
Three stars have whittled down
The red good way for standing
Drink heavy my soul
Bruise my physicality
So I can breath more deeply
Spirituality

Small Knobs
He was flying
She was flying
The sun was up
The sun was mine
They were flying free
Run to the fortress and undress
Do clothes speak your pride?
Rest here in the flowers
I'll kiss your naked back
I am hesitant as the small knobs
Twist and you dilute
The clarity of truth
She was flying
The sun was up
The sun was mine
They were flying free
Run to the fortress and undress
Do clothes speak your pride?
Rest here in the flowers
I'll kiss your naked back
I am hesitant as the small knobs
Twist and you dilute
The clarity of truth
Gaping longing dream
While away your clear days and you are mine
I swim in whirlpools to your smile
But I like to be alone
Can we skip rocks and sing
While Mars is gaping
towards the dream
Just be still
Bones and soul
Rest beside me
Let's admire the great caverns between us
Feel my voice and watch my sound
I will love you if you land gentle
And let us be solitary trees
Side by side
To lend a quiet dream
I swim in whirlpools to your smile
But I like to be alone
Can we skip rocks and sing
While Mars is gaping
towards the dream
Just be still
Bones and soul
Rest beside me
Let's admire the great caverns between us
Feel my voice and watch my sound
I will love you if you land gentle
And let us be solitary trees
Side by side
To lend a quiet dream

Wild Beast Feast
A feast of wild beasts is found to be rare
Here in the forest
Where she detests
The form of the fierceness
That her friends exude.
In lieu of beguiling her wild things
Towards calmness
She struts forward
Through the forest
With them in their traveling feast of colors
Towards fierceness and wonder.
For it was rare unlike the despair
That she partook of
In her color chasing
Feast of sun light
And moons glowing
The beasts were crooning.
The Song Can Dance, My Heart
You ran to the little fence- peered over the side
The grass swept over to the side of the skies
Brown and red overtook the trees- humming bumblebees
Windswept blue took you running down the path of all you have
Windswept blue brought you to him
Castles rose within your heart
When the meaning of your dreams fell apart
Hum you two in the tree house
Dearest darling branches unfurling
Dance a spirit caught up in eternity
Through crackled leaves- barefoot in fall
A storybook land came to you but
It's never right.
The grass swept over to the side of the skies

Hum you two in the tree house
Dearest darling branches unfurling
Dance a spirit caught up in eternity
Through crackled leaves- barefoot in fall
A storybook land came to you but
It's never right.
Mountains are Made from Porcelain
Commotion
of ocean hearts
A scent
like potion starts
To
tumble and dry
In your
swelling eyes
Mountains
climb rising dreams
Fighting
with seven seas
For that
screaming daisy
Longing
for ukulele
Dance
like the way you said
Most
things are never read
In that
shouting place you were found
Passion
brews moments around
Linen
and porcelain take
Paper
cuts for hearts to break
Lemon
tea stirs the love
You
dreamt up in mountain groves
All
nature bends to meet you now
Waiting
for your fevered brow
Oceans
mount mountains musing
Your
finery has been confusing

Musings
You could take my hand. You could lead me down by that sad
old house and wipe away my tears. Your fingertips are rough on the skin of my
face but gentle against my palm. We could spend the night against the fragrant
heaving earth, and maybe I will hold back my tears for a short while.
Floorboards
The floorboards are aching
Heavy with your tears
I will swim across the room to you
I will avoid splinters when I float
The old floorboards are hostile for having served you
Are you a tree?
Pine Maple Spruce
I am expansive in my need
to be close to you
Trembling over your skin
and searching for
Some semblance of truth
do you have enough universe in you
to love me?

Moon Girl
Your bones are rocks
And I am flying
Who needs a home
when there's a sky
I still want to be held in your arms
When you behold me
Will you just see
A girl from the Earth?
Because I play in the flowers
I lay in the dirt
I kiss smooth pebbles
And I've learned not to hurt
But this place is not mine
And your bones are temporary
I do not own you
But hold me anyway
Until I get back to the sky
And I will love you on the moon
And I am flying
Who needs a home
when there's a sky
I still want to be held in your arms
When you behold me
Will you just see

And I've learned not to hurt
But this place is not mine
And your bones are temporary
I do not own you
But hold me anyway
Until I get back to the sky
And I will love you on the moon
I can't climb the tree
You are the day after I sleep
Hold my bitter tea leaves
In your cracked palms
The morning brings butter on toast
And the sun
It is warm on my toes
I can't climb the tree
with the fragile limbs
gentle like my grandfather
You can spread you hands open
To hold my morning mind
And I will go to find
A tree that I can climb
Hold my bitter tea leaves
In your cracked palms
The morning brings butter on toast
And the sun
It is warm on my toes
I can't climb the tree
with the fragile limbs
gentle like my grandfather
You can spread you hands open
To hold my morning mind
And I will go to find
A tree that I can climb
