Untitled

Failure to write your own story.

allows others to fill in the blanks.

So write, fight, push onwards

in the dying of time.

Greeting Cards

Failures outweigh triumphs

ten fold,

So don’t forget to celebrate

the small stuff,

the all stuff,

for it is such a life.

Mindful

Be mindful of keeping your mind

so full.

Less things start to tumble

out once you fill it with

the things you don’t mind.

Skin

Your skin feels like memory

perhaps that’s what makes it

so necessary for me

to constantly brush

against you.

What you’ve given

Give me time’s slowest morning,

Give me a quieter grief, at last light’s

mourning. Give me time, and time again

the moments what make you. Give me

the reaper’s ire, eyes when he takes you.

Give me heart shaped cinnamon rolls,

Give me thunder as it rolls.

Give me french fries, give me anger when

they’re denied. Give me day late

reservations, give unto your

temptations.

Give me unconditional, give me sweet,

sweet sonder. Give me opportunity shant

your heart ever wonder

Give me your everything, as I have given

mine.

Modern

I am a modern poet in

the sense that I write in a modern

age-

comparatively. Speaking

to my vices through keys in

the stead of lead.

Pulling smoke through metal, drink

through ergonomic glass. ‘

My hands no longer toiling with

frail paper, but my fraying

psyche. From screen to screen

we play on, dance

monkey. Dance for your money.
