My Brain is starving
nourishment low,
No conversation or
exciting tones
...

Like a black hole, drinking in its surroundings,
No hesitation or fading hunger,
Endless streams of light swirling to its end
Absorbed in absolute darkness,
...

Theres been a rumour hidden here
That truth can spring from eyes,
The soulful look of a tempered girl
I saw beauty when she cried
...

To be born like this; Sexually apprehensive
Feelings of shame at others embarrassment
Their tight improper jeans moulded
To pipes of skinny flesh; lumps
...

I screamed that I was hallucinating
I was falling from a height
The purple Dragons and Cat head gods
Magnified with Glass my fright,
...

Dot to dot, Pictures illuminating
Evolutions creative eye.

Fashions of belief
...

You recite emotions
As if practiced and told,
You feel the you within
Imitating the slow
...

You sleep; I lie rigid and turn,
Also the books of the page,
Each crimple of folded paper;
Magnifies in volume as the hour burns
...

You seem alone, distant
You say I never listen
Hear, or understand
...

Its said, in Egyptian texts of past
The Sphinx sits as Leo the lion
The Nile wavers like the Milky way
Do its Pyramids mirror Orion?
...

Voices,
mumbles,
conforming song,
Ignored,
...

To feel brushes warm
On flesh from strangers tips
Fingers hover, magnetic lips
Bumps of Goose with shivers hot
...

So much has changed, in this year thats gone,
Apart from verses and words of our favorite songs,
Apart from videos of you laughing in dance,
Apart from speaking your name, and the memories i have
...

To learn to love, a modest skill
See, you do, aspects of charms
Smiles,
Eyes, or a
...

'Gluh' 'Gluh'
Morning son, days begun,
lets change you, clean, now play
Don't worry son, you say 'Gluh' 'Gluh'
...

You judged me for my Silence,
then the Language that i spoke,
You remarked upon my choice of Clothes and
My ability to joke,
...

Time sits upon the frosting dials of age;
Weightless, but with substance,
With each day, another Page
...

We sit there,
Eyes down, Phone out,

I cooked, we eat,
...

To be engulfed, by the warm curtain
of Clarity.

I'm Saddened by leaking love,
...

Is that really me i see?
is that what I've become?
an older, bearded version
of a younger handsome one
