Does the heart abuse?
Or is it the mind that wills
our deepest sufferings?

I think it's too late to wake up now

I'm on the "right" side of this nightmare as my hand idly reaches toward the edge that separates where choice is a privilege or non-existent. I can rest my head on dreams that could convert hard work into opportunity where I'm hardly spared a second glance and the word 'no' is probably at least 80 percent-based on merit. My virgin eyes are still blind to bullet-ridden walls and shrapnel fodder where I can walk free, without my eyes reluctantly trailing behind me, but maybe I should, and the only blood I've seen is mine. I am at the "right" side of this nightmare not because the people in charge are doing things right but because I happene

Dreaming

I'm traveling far, as far as my mind can take me. Running from a dream, a specter, or maybe a memory. As far as I run, the mirage catches up with me, drowning me, suffocating under every fake what-if. Somewhere, far, far away. Mesmerized, perhaps, but at peace. Where life is perfect and peaceful, enriching. As far as I can imagine, and beautifully perfect in every way. Embracing the phantom, savoring peace within the self. But perhaps, all of this is just within a dream.

Someday

Someday this will be me and you. Someday I'll feel your arms around me. Someday it'll all come true, everything I dream about you. Someday I'll be with you. Someday we'll dance the night away. Someday I'll feel your lips of mine. Someday. Just not today.

Awake

Awake We - are the children of Cygnus Sagittarius , the Pleiades, Orion, and the Dog Star Sprung from the womb of the Hypernova Recycled, Reborn, Eternal Observe Times arrow returned to its quiver Unlimited Alive - in every moment that has been or will ever be Free From the shackles of the linear mind and the material wastelands of the Fallen Pity the mortal and the blind We dine on starlight and dance to the rhythm of the fractal void The heavy metal, rock and roll beat of the Magnetar and Star Quakes The techo-jazz, thump thump thump of the pulsars The waltz of the binaries in their elegant embrace We ride the big surf of the Broa

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

if i could invent words

i would like to create a word for what one feels when they realize: if we were birds, the only cage we would be in are the ones we create ourselves. how many times have our wings been clipped by our own hands alone. christ, i'm sorry. dear past self: i apologize for trying to define you; for definition is the metaphorical cage to change. the only limit the sky has is how far we can see.

nothing left but the paranoia

they say crows never forget and i am terrified this is true. see, the other week, i hit a crow with my car & they saw. they saw, and if they remember, then they know, and if they know, they will come. here is the thing: i am terrified they can see me & i am terrified they can not. my thoughts lately are a spiral, a maze, with an entrance but no exit. i am lost. i am lost, and they know. last week, i saw a cat, eating a crow, and in my mind, i am the cat, i am the crow, i am the car that hit the crow, i am my thoughts lost in my maze, and what if they see me.

"only if you know the dark, you can see the light."

so maybe suffering is needed to value the opposite. maybe it's not the mind nor the heart. but maybe the heart knows more than mind....
