my hero

Call it art



Today I realized I hated my best friend’s art
Colorful and messy like her
Shifting green to purple to black
and all those other colors I don’t mind loathing
Spitting bubbles that float around configurations that make no sense
They cross the line like she does
A consistent basis of emphatic gestures and bold statements
What’s wrong with subtlety? 
Quiet dear one, with your angry strokes marked under loneliness 
Your pretty hands I’ve seen dabble in mischief like a late night thief 
I could be your sad eyes just this once and replenish your misery with black tears
Sit with grace and behold a silent wind around you
You gave me a wound once, but it’s healing
By kisses made a virgin still
Piece by piece they fly over the windowsill 
And you make enough money to keep the rags at bay
Just you wait for that carriage to come one day
To take you farther than you ever imagined
Although I can’t say for sure my love
If I will be able to see it

Marmoreal




I stay up days and nights
Caught in some razor blade circle
So typical
Fought with ghosts I never knew
What I found to be the likes of you

A concrete wall 
Away from it all
It could never cease to be
Let it be anyone but me

From that sickening train
To something real
Crucified nocturnal instincts
Give up the long hair for beauty
Give up the beauty for hate

Peel the art off my walls 
So we can breathe again
Hold onto the nothingness
The pseudo-brave face you show me
The hurt can be something
We pretend
A false chemical I chose to see

A blanket of misfitted adults
Adultery
Pardon the shame of growing old
Common fucking formalities
I get on tangents about drunks
And idiosyncrasies 
Yet strive to be magnanimous
I walk all day

I can’t love someone I can’t talk about the moon with
It’s shining aura beaming down and bringing me waves of nostalgia mixed with emphatic wonder and melodies
Again I glide down a hill laced with stars, stars at my feet, in my hair, in my sky
Etoile
Forget unspoken promises
Forget heartache and uncertainty
Forget all of it
For he...
For he loves like no one else loves. 




Sister. She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities.



Don't just be who you are; be everything you are


Go looking into the darkness to find the light


Running in Cambridge


Create your own reality
