(2014)
I know that you were there in my dreams and in my arms Every dream we
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
I hope this is postmarked before my death certificate is dat… but you’ll know why if it is or if it isn’t If you get this in time
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
The pen must be mightier than the sword For there is nothing that will spill your guts faster than a bit of ink that says
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
