POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
You broke the pipe
You smoked meth
While you worked on the car
Pipe neatly hidden, breaks fixed
I was too drunk to notice
When I came down the stairs
You looked like
A war crazed samurai
Toshiro Mifune, I think I remember
Some other lifetime
But anyways, your stiff hands took the wheel
Threatening to crash into a pole
I thought we might die
I didn't care though
I know I should care
But as long as you are close
Take us both down
I cant change you
I still love you
You might leave one night
And never return
I...

Him or you
He makes my spirit soften
From the jagged edge
You carved into my heart
Still, you pull at me like a black hole
Too often blinded by your power
I venture much too close
Losing hope and faith
To your gravity
His gaze is so sure that I exist within myself
Yet you tear at my weakened sentience
And like a shark, circling its prey
Come quick to rip my mind to shreds
He caresses the pain from my life
Yet thoughts of you still poison me
I’m saved by the potency of...

I reach halfheartedly for a dream
As wispy as a ghost and it seems
like a cloud, not that it falls through my fingers
Not as real as the pain in my heart, how it lingers
Just that it seems so real in my mind
So real it would not take even half effort to find
Open hands I think I can grasp it
Nothing to grab, just a need out of habit
If you had understood what I can't seem to speak
Then all words that e’er I wrote, you would never have read
No there would be no reason, no...

Here the sky is a dome where my eyes become stars and the wind blows heavy in the morning with salty mists
Blackened lava fields are Pele's fingers that stretch as far as the eyes can follow
down to the ocean where the sturdy and the dreamers build homes for their souls to reside - protected by the land
The Aina, the land drenches the soul like wine, if you stay long you will become the land, in each step is life, is Aloha
Here I wait for you, blue sky becomes your eyes, the rough land, like your working hands
I love the land and you are the land
Here, Pele...
