seaside

Salty sea breeze

Crystal magma mirror
Flow around and through me
Slow the passage of time

longest night of the year

i cannot believe

how much i feel your absence

to awaken to a bed with ample real estate

means so much less than your warmth

the floors and the seats in this house

spots once occupied by us

drain the strength from my chest

they yearn for touch like me

blankets clumped about

turn to me as if asking where

their daily-perching bird has flown

i'm not sure how to tell them

who thought mornings without you

could ever be this dull

if this is a morning without you

i don't want morning at all 

when? oh, now.

all things it seems

happen in time

if they are supposed to 

meanwhile we

toil, tussle, tether

beg, barter, buy

crush, consume, create

waiting for the day

when fate showers it's mercy

upon us. 

now.

Beauty emerges 

from hardship 

yet we must remember 

the blessing of stasis. 

It will come

do you ever 

wake up in the morning 

thinking about how today 

could be the day 

when you arise 

with sleep plastered eyes 

and coffe-craving cells 

can you fathom it?

that today is the day 

you could die 

can you take a moment 

to realize 

to process 

that this 

all this 

is just temporary 

and nothing is promised 

so fuck man

make it count 

be free, louise. 

Boom

There's people 

Shattering 

All around me 

Vomit shooting

Tears streaming 

Heads in hands

Trying to suck fate

Through the face. 

devour

this city 

can swallow you whole 

mind, body and soul 

where outsides turn in

we all yearn for milk

how many we are

counting the dreams 

and days til they're here

working so hard

lusting for affection 

in the professional sense

fit the mold forever

or forever play dough

these are the questions 

this is how it goes

cmere

how could I ever 

question our love

when it's so clear

that my arms

were made 

to hold you. 

Return to you

From 9000 miles away

I'm rushed back into your arms

Your gentle form and soft skin 

A den I nestle myself easily into

It doesn't feel fair

That after so many months 

Out there where the heat

Just smothers 

That I should suddenly 

Once again

Have you 

My warm-bodied woman 

Back in my arms 

I want to wake up to us 

Like this 

From here on out 

For I would trade 

The world's exotic allure 

For one morning 

Of nuzzling up to you 

🌲

nature

stirs the soul

while comforting it

nature 

renews perspective 

while changing it 

nature

enlightens our minds

while slowing them

nature 

softens the heart 

while winning it. 

sitting at the gate

somehow 

the plane

with you flying in it

carries so much more weight
