Twin Flame
But I know he's my twin flame. I've looked up this stuff many times, and I did yesterday.
I know what I felt was true. You only have one twin flame, and I believe it.
I never want a soulmate because I can only love what transformed my entire life. He's the reason I believe in God the way I do. It's all because of his mark on my life. He's the reason my life makes so much sense yet it doesn't. I have memories...memories of a pre spiritual life with him before all this. Those pictures I drew in 2012 college art class. It all makes sense what it represents, and the bravest...

Wraith
I'll be home for Christmas
Sitting all by myself
Alone and self forsaken
Refusing anyone's help
Too many mistakes
That I've made
Too many memories
I've lost along the way
Surrounded by empty bottles
Knowing it's too late
Wondering how I can still love
Something I've grown to hate
If I could turn back time
I would've taken a different road
Wish i could've seen
How things would unfold
To turn my back on everything
That I've ever held so dear
Just to wallow in self pity ...
Sitting all by myself
Alone and self forsaken
Refusing anyone's help

Something I've grown to hate
If I could turn back time

To turn my back on everything

Paramaribo
In Paramaribo
I met a girl, half Indian and beautiful
there was a big church and a castle
to defend Dutch interest
A hot and swampy place, which I liked
coming from Norway, a cold country
with a poor working- class who sent
their sons to join the merchant marine
The housing estate in Paramaribo
consisted, mostly of shacks, among
romantic palms
Had I married the girl and settled
I would have been a beneficiary of
the promised oil wealth
As it is, as a Norwegian, I get a pension
so mean, I have to live in...

QUIET.
Funny she cannot find the words to convey how she feels. She is normally a nonstop talking machine you would have to pay her a hefty sum to just shut up.
She makes recounting an event into a feature film arms waving eyes bright and her vocabulary quick fire but articulate. Nothing is left behind every minuscule detail displayed as if on a counter of a jewellery shop. Where the gems twinkle and entice you in.
Now she is silent most days cannot even concentrate on her most beloved poems or books. Nothing has the hook to ignite her imagination and stoke the fire of...

Being (Of Flesh)
Flesh is the enemy that keeps me tied to the rotting earth
Flesh is the captor that sings me sweet promises of joy and freedom
I try to do away with flesh
But it clings to my skin and bones desperately
The foul stench of life is overbearing and bright
Red hot breath croaks its way out of lungs
Leaving a trail of blood everywhere I go as my flesh scrapes on the street
No matter how long I walk I may never reach bone
A person
Made of flesh and love
I am not
I am a human among people ...
Flesh is the captor that sings me sweet promises of joy and freedom
I try to do away with flesh
But it clings to my skin and bones desperately
The foul stench of life is overbearing and bright
Red hot breath croaks its way out of lungs
Leaving a trail of blood everywhere I go as my flesh scrapes on the street
No matter how long I walk I may never reach bone
A person
Made of flesh and love
I am not
I am a human among people ...

Retire (The Morning After Forever)
The morning will be waiting by the door when I get home.
The ground will be waiting for my arrival,
The bathroom sink calls,
Blood flows smoothly down the drain.
Past my eyes is a reservoir full of water,
It leaks out of my mouth and ears.
I hate the way the water tastes,
I hate the way I can feel my tongue on my own lips.
When I slice the surface of my vessel,
My soul spills out onto the floor,
It flows smoothly down the drain.
The morning will be waiting by the door when I get home.
I wade through the world like a husk,...
The ground will be waiting for my arrival,
The bathroom sink calls,
Blood flows smoothly down the drain.
Past my eyes is a reservoir full of water,
It leaks out of my mouth and ears.
I hate the way the water tastes,
I hate the way I can feel my tongue on my own lips.
When I slice the surface of my vessel,
My soul spills out onto the floor,
It flows smoothly down the drain.
The morning will be waiting by the door when I get home.
I wade through the world like a husk,...

Icarus
History is unkind to my kind
Mankind so horrid we can only call them man
I’m a star burned too bright
The ripples of my nova will burn for miles
But I am made not of purple or gold
I am a hurt made of dust and rock
A fool for the history books
I am the too hot and too small and too much
Gone and going on forever
I may never fall beneath the waves
I have not wings to melt
But I still see the world too high
I can’t catch up
I was chasing the sky
I couldn’t seem to grab hold
Icarus
By name
Mankind so horrid we can only call them man
I’m a star burned too bright
The ripples of my nova will burn for miles
But I am made not of purple or gold
I am a hurt made of dust and rock
A fool for the history books
I am the too hot and too small and too much
Gone and going on forever
I may never fall beneath the waves
I have not wings to melt
But I still see the world too high
I can’t catch up
I was chasing the sky
I couldn’t seem to grab hold

Dim
Pull away from me
And don’t stop
Until my tears turn to blood and wash me away
With nothing more to give
And everything to take
Like you wanted
That’s what you wanted, right?
When you held me close for only enough time to suck every breath from my lungs
And break every bone in my body
And use it for your shelter
To build the home we started together
For you to shatter every minute that felt tender
Because I could never be her
The one you painted with mirrors
To be reflections of me
Where only you could be free...
And don’t stop
Until my tears turn to blood and wash me away
With nothing more to give
And everything to take
Like you wanted
That’s what you wanted, right?
When you held me close for only enough time to suck every breath from my lungs
And break every bone in my body
And use it for your shelter
To build the home we started together
For you to shatter every minute that felt tender
Because I could never be her
The one you painted with mirrors
To be reflections of me
Where only you could be free...

Unbeknownst
I didn’t know that it would hurt so much,
fettered porcelain ankles draped in the
red clothes of agony, arms flailing against
the painful draperies that blind the self,
ever so slowly drowning in the guilt
Soft whispers claw at the ears telling
secrets, the truth is I was never worth
anything, nothing changes beneath the
rainbow of the chameleon and loss
brings the strongest flower to wilt
I’m tired of fighting, the best part of me
walks a desolate desert highway in
California, sun in my face, it was such
a good...

When They Look You in the Eye
holding onto the dead and buried, fragile dreams he has
shattered promises love your old looks
loving hard, feeling even harder to be loved
battered child of empathy purged by the mind
remember when you knew you weren’t the same?
spending his days in a tomb of shattered mind
when you came home tonight, i knew it all too well
lending your body to the delusory, the withered
then you ask what made you, if you ever were made
notice how the skin on your back burns?
learning the ways of those who’ve come undone...

To always lose. (my apology to Kamala Harris)
The days was long, and all I could think about was her reaction, to live in a world where you always lose, no that's a complication. No doubt in my mind that with a little unwanted persuasion, this would easily be a win, win situation.
But I know she plays fair, she wants to win on her own, and fools will be fools, no matter where they go. She is strong, yes. and the best person for the job, however, they will never admit he is a fraud.
A cheater, a liar, the very source of my aggression. And now since she lost, the very point of my aggravation.
All hope, all dreams, and all...

Bare Handed and Bloodied
I am a bad friend
I am a bad person
What is my worth if it is being created
By someone else?
I am sorry
I am sorry for being sorry
I don’t know how to dig beneath the roots
And get to the sincerity of it all
But I am grateful for you
And I love you
And I am
Sorry.
