Sometimes it’s the seconds
Between
The pause
A brief break
Your eyes meeting mine
To cause my heart to
Flutter
Skip
Then jump a beat.

Tears fall,
catching sunlight
like crystals,
a mirror of past
rainbows,
wishes once made,
dreams lost
to the dark night .

Rain fell right before midnight,
Like the sudden realization that tomorrow was much too close.
The pitter patter of drops meeting the roof top, rolling down, collecting in the gutter, rushing out back to fall to the ground was nature’s pandora of night time playlists. It almost timed out perfectly with the pounding in my chest. But even darkness is not enough to keep the slide show of...
Sometimes broken things heal crooked. The pieces didn’t fit anymore.

Killing Charlemagne: excerpt from House of Leaves... →
killingcharlemagne:
Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do…

I used to put glow in the dark stars on my ceiling as a child. As if the confines of my room were too much and I needed the illusion of the grand world in the very square ness of my room. I would lie there imagining all that was beyond the constellations I had meticulously picked out.
I ended up laying sprawled out on the carpet of my room tonight. Wishing I had those stars again to put up with...

Construct me, Word by word, With letters written in the past, Poems smeared out with pain, Pieces sown together by love, Until you understand me. From this you can paint a picture, A snap shot of who I was, Who I am, And all that I can be. Sleepyeyes nov 2011

I have come to the conclusion that I write to understand this world. I lay thoughts unto paper like a mason might lay brick to connect point A to B. Words create the pathway in which I follow, in hopes of some further depth and understanding of that which had previously lay in heaps before me. The mass and height of the piles vary in which I decided to conquer them; perhaps I should have an...

In my darkest coldest nights,
Your eyes become my stars,
Crisp and clear guiding me home.

I burn for you,
Like a summer rain hitting the hot pavement,
Evaporating into something new.
Changed,
Steaming into a shape that will fit you,
Consuming your form.
Breathless,
For there will be nothing between us,
We will be all that is needed.
There will be no feeling,
No hot or cold sensations,
Just desire running,
Down and over,
Like your fingers across my skin,
And without hesitation,
I will...
Sticking my head in the freezer at work momentarily, even when it is 14 degrees outside, still gives me a brief moment of instant focus… Hope everyone enjoys their evening. :)
Wrap your arms around me, Let me breathe in deeply, For now I am home . Sleepy.eyes.nov.2011

What I would do for you is limitless,
Despite inclimate weather,
I always want to be the one to tuck you in at night.

I never really mourned your death or celebrated your life. It came and went like the passing of a season. Like the sun rising in the east, expected, yet hesitant. Combinations of colors unknown, hues mixed, a mirror of our emotions, so brief we may but catch a glimpse before they fade. Careful observation required for understanding. As if to mimic a last breath, your last sweet taste of air...
