Our Little Routine

You show me love now,
but I still feel sick from before.
You know I don't get you at all, right?
I'll forgive you,
because you're a dearest friend.
But this memory will resurface,
and I can only help the emotional twists
remain sulking under the waves.

Oh well.
Nothing new, right?
Back to how it was before.

A Little Jewel Called Confidence

There is no truth in death.
No glitter and no glory.
Martyrdom is dead and crisp
with the decay of a god's gaze.
What awaits you in that forest
is a dark and lonely
void dear, please don't go.

- Don't do anything stupid.
- I'm not going to.
- What are you, then?
- I'm stirring things up. Dig?

There is beauty in your life,
don't turn your back on it
and pride yourself on sulking in its shadow.
Circle 'round the flower,
see where the sun hits it?
That's you.
That's me.
That's life.
That's love.

That's worth.
Everyone loves you.
Don't you know?
You're everyone.
To you, anyway.

Don't pluck that flower.
Don't waste that life.
Bloom.
Pollinate.
Roll around in bed
with a Stranger
Sunday morning.

Don't regret it.

Regret nothing as you
watch the sap and juicy fragrance
fall from a cactus needle
in the thick morning desert air.
Ride the sun;
let the moon take you
from behind.
She'll get her turn.
She loves you.

Too abstract?

Then here.

Love yourself.

You're all you need.

Fur immer.

I Hate Rhyming


Sit beneath my sun
Interrupt my fun
Dismantle all I've done
And make me cry.

Have my head bow down
So desolate the ground
Just another made-up noun
That cannot try.

This is not poetry.
