I dreamed I was falling
I dreamed I was flying
I dreamed I jumped and there was nothing to catch me at the bottom
There was no bottom to begin with
Was there
Maybe there was at some point
Some distant past where this all meant something
Manic cries
Pained eyes
The wind is screaming
Why was I smiling
In the dream
Was I dreaming
Am...

The Waltz
There was gold coming from in between the leaves. A cool crisp wind was around us. Red and gold dance around.
We're tangled in each other. Your voice is poetry.
"How many times have we parted ways just to end up right back here again?"
I contemplate your question while I toy with your curls. Apples. The scent fills the air, adding to the perfection of the moment.
"I mean, we always end up back here in this spot...."
Keep speaking. I need to know you exist.
"It's like...we've made this our home. This is ours. This time and this place. Ours."
I watch the leaves continue their dance in the air around us. A private performance.

Here's to Icarus and his wax wings.
Here's to the Sun and all it scorches.
Here's to gravity and long falls.
Here's to botched attempts.
Here's to infamy.
Here's to sunken ships and icebergs.
To failed launches and reentries.
To scarred arms and legs.
To blurred nights.
To slurred words.
To misplaced loves.
To crushing heartbreaks.
Here's to idle gossip.
Here's to jealousy.
Here's to vicious cycles.
And the prisoners stuck within them.
Here's to acceptance.
To understanding.
To knowing why and how and what.
To finding.
To rising.
To learning the lesson.
To protecting and growing.
Here's to the ones who pull you out.

Exorcisms and Outpourings: A collaborative piece
Were you but a phase for me to flail and writhe for?
I dug
and dug
for one small glimmer of a lie you fed me
Audacity and atrocity
You tell me who to be.
Was your defiant grin worth my heart?
Was the victorious anthem worth my head?
Keep all of me as consolation.
There's blood on these sheets
and none in my heart
you took everything I had
now misery my soul familiarity greets.
Remember the late nights
The sweat and the passion
Your endless blue stained by secret desire and...
So many other passions
I was and am the last to know
Your secret is safe with me.
i took part of you - your secret key
Did you love me?
Did I love you?
Was it jus
Christmas Lights On The Ceiling
Electric lights cut through the ink that make the sky
Artificial stars matched by glowing warm embers falling from cancerous sticks
An ambiance of slurred words fills the night and soundtracks the uncomfortable silence I'm sitting on
Plastic cups
Torn couches
Old faces
New phantoms
It's all so illusory and abstract
But it's all happening right here and now and it's been happening
And it's going to keep happening
At least...until it stops
I'm just a witness
A faceless, voiceless void
A phantom
A voyeur for non-salacious acts
A blind eye for lecherous criminal hazings
There's empty laughter in the corner near the aluminum dispen
