Found this very old poem when I was cleaning. Can’t remember what inspired it.

I’ve been holed up
with my lungs collapsed

By a bread knife.

Thinking out loud, like
a papermill. Running
on the leftovers
of my midwife.

And on this rainy day
I let my eyes roll out
on a path of no sleep
and through I touch all of
these hearts, There’s not
A single kiss that I

Could keep.

Eyes like the sky

never still yet always endless.

Crooked smile on

your smooth lips.

Everything crowned,

by a hood of gold.

Wild like the forrest,

cold yet inviting.

Like the coast of the north,

from which you hail.

I was a crow once.
Bitter caws sounding across the fields.

I was a wolf once,
trapped in a boys body,
howling to break free.

I was a deer once,
trapped in the mind,
of a young man,
braying in fear of discovery.

I am a man now.
Trapped with myself.
No hope for release as I battle the World.

Raindrops from your orgasm filled the breech of my heart
Friendship of the city street.
Will you be my clone wife tomorrow?
Your opium soul of passion drove us apart.
Will your after image leave me dreaming of sorrow?

American love rock poisoned my mind with the passion of desire.
In my youthful splendor, the leaves of failure falls hard.
You are the one I could never acquire.

Going through your endless days
forever alone, forever of stone.

Well it might be time
well it might be time
to take control of your rhyme,

to enjoy the wind as it blows
the waves as it knows, no love or no sorrow.

Fly free as the bird, no slave to any man,
fly free as the bird as only a free bird can,
to cover the land with your love story.

But oh, how its another story,
of how you met me, and how I found us.

I wish to hold you for a thousand days and never let you go

I want to bring you happiness, and when you need to smile, we make it so.

I will climb the mountains and brave the skies, I’ll wander the desserts and cross the sea

I’d do it all to make you see, that this is true that this should be.

You are not my everything, but you could be it,

you are not my only thing, but you should see it,

the love that I feel, the love that I share.

I know it is true, and you know that I care.

If I grabbed you and kissed you,
what would you do?

If I grabbed you and kissed you,
what would you do? What would you do?

If I grabbed you and kissed you,
what would you do?

Would you turn and run,and go far way?
Would you turn and run,and go far way?

Or would you hold me and smile, and beg me to stay?

Or would you hold me and smile, and beg me to stay?

I long for your hand
to keep it in mine,
I dream of a time
when we’ll both be fine.
Nails bite my skin,
to drow out my mind.
Tears on my cheeks
and a frost in your eyes
nothing as hard as when
You Say Goodbye
