My ashtray,
is a photograph waiting to happen.
When I sleep
I sleep with the window open,
to let the night air in
and some part of myself out.
You and I,
We could break into an old house
and lie among the dead leaves
in the bedroom.
I have this desire
to take naps
during the day.
Curled in the sun,
like a cat.
I keep purple post-it notes
beside my bed
with a pencil.
That way I can write
whenever I think.
Can I photograph
you
when I see you?
When I think of the summer,
I think of you and
waking dreams of
dandelion clocks.
Seeds drifting on the breeze.
Though your words destroy me
I long for you to speak further.
I was new and you had already known
the streets. You showed me
where the sidewalks curved
and where the street-lights were.
And by the end of the day
we were sharing
cups of columbian.
My fingers grew familiar
with the lanes under our sheets.
But the gust blew the cover
away and my memory
had always been weak.
It's why all our next lovers
will taste
strange parks and friendly benches
in our lips.
Something Timeless like it's Modern
Your waist went in curves
like a neon letter C--
what, with the glitz of your dress...
My hands rested there
in the glow of the colored
lights of the dance floor.
Your eyes drank the rays
like a viscous spill--
glorious in its tragedy.
Your eyebrows marked bold angles--
struck and retreated like a bullfighter--
divided like the rivers of South America.
"You remind me
of Penelope Cruz."
I said; and you flashed
flattered like a photo bulb.
You said, "She's beautiful."
I wished to crush myself
into two dimensions with you.
Be projected
on a screen that glimmered
with reflective bits and
Through Space to Nothing
Day 1
It's amazing, like the first time at the playground.
And the slide seems so tall,
but I have to get to the top of it,
so I look around, to see if any one is watching,
and it seems like every one is watching.
That can't stop my mission,
so I climb all the way to the top,
fully expecting to take days to admire the swings
from this new found angle,
but the ground calls my name.
Whispers actually,
the pavement opens, and its tongue allows all the letters
to flow out, sounding remarkably like my mom.
Wind lets the sound float away so slowly
my name lingers and I finally take the proper sliding positio
Oh hey there. How is everyone? To be honest I'm not sure who many of you are any more due to dA's name change system and the fact that it doesn't allow others to see your previous username (thanks dA.) Regardless, I'm still lurking and trying to figure out who you are/were. If you're one of those folks who decided that your username was stale and required a change, let me know who you were and say hello.
As some of you noticed, I removed all of my material from public view. This was done for a few reasons, firstly because it's (mostly) all viewable in published form, secondly because there's too much theft on the Internet nowadays and thirdl
"You have an existing pre-paid Core Membership that will last for 21 Years, 8 Months and 2 Weeks from now."
