I like to watch... an ant traverse a grass forest a flower unfurl in moonlight a muskrat reap trifolium a leaf quiver in mid-day breeze

I write You read I talk You listen I huff

You say that you enjoy people I don’t think that is true You want to be a pure steeple And lord it over fools

Nom noms and tom toms Are really what make me move There’s a gravy train straight to… When you skip your needle to that…

Wish I was a shepherd With a flock of sheep Sitting on a hillside Grass beneath my feet Watching over loved ones

Always lived a life that’s been Filled with devils, marked by sin Never thought my darker side Be the thing that brings you light

I thought that she Could be the one I thought that we Were having fun And then I spoke

Your thought forms beauty and beas… Your word produces joy and despair… Your movement brings life and deat… Your power creates your present.

I don’t know what it means to have A lover in my life I don’t know what it’s like to tas… Their sugar and their spice I don’t know how to give and take

I’m like a pretzel Simple ingredients And a bit twisted

I’ve never wrapped My mind around Making you feel Seen, heard, and found I didn’t know

You’re the bestest bud Anyone could love And your soul shines through All the doom and gloom Fortunate to have

If I had one wish And a pound weighed a ton I’d hope you’d know my heart And the extent of my love

I’m not sure how I’ve come this f… From sinking pit to shooting star. Could it be when I loved my scars… Or when I chose to be this bard? Maybe, it happened, as a lark.

What if I watched with no judgement or saw without shame, nurtured your essence behind drawn shades?
