the simple days of peanut butter and jelly. i remember at lunchtime in the third or fourth grade, my best friends’ peanut butter and jelly sandwiches would have too much jelly. so much, when her sandwiches squished in her backpack, it soaked through the middle of her sandwich. i thought it looked terrible, but one day i was so hungry i ate it anyway when she offered it. i don’t...

crushed from the inside, january 31, 2010
it’s getting lonely and i’m starting to fall, deeper into this waterfall. the water gliding past my lips, dancing through my teeth, crawling across my tongue, and throwing itself down my throat. and now all my organs are afloat.

you walked your little footprints, across my heart. and i’ve let you stay, i never want you to part.

when i make you laugh, it feels like an ice cold glass of lemonade during a sizzling hot day. like the peace of a nighttime bubble bath. and i love watching your crooked lips open into your crooked-teeth smile, like curtains. i just want to lay silent, stare into your swampy eyes. as we dare each other not to crack, then laugh and laugh and laugh.

wet leaves smeared across the pavement, their bitter end after such enslavement. what a brilliant metaphor of our story, our brutality in all its glory. are our hearts adjacent? dear, don’t fight it, now my heart’s vacant. when i pulled out the needle you stuck in, your mind a web of sin, all that spilled was my love and devotion, an infinite ocean. though i’m loyal to those...

you are not perfect, but i love you as though you were. because in my eyes, you are pristine. like a newborn snowlake delicately fluttering from the clouds to earth, gracing me with your angelic presence. soft kisses tickle my cheeks, even your fickle heart is embraced by me.

do you know someone and feel that it just feels right to know them? it doesn’t matter where you are in your trail of destiny because they will just be there, perfectly. and you’ll be there. and you get past your differences and accept each other for what you are. and you dare to go farther than that acceptance and truly embrace them for exactly what they are. and when you go even...

aching bones and shallow moans. hearts of stone and echoing groans. it’s a spell of disproportion, consisting of much more misery than fortune. and in this confusion of the weight of your words, she finds a truth that isn’t preferred. a blurred work of art slurred across her skin, attempting to bury that evil twin. the colors soak and stain, deep into your veins. yellows and purples...

i don’t care if i lose him, you tell yourself. but if you love and care the way you say you do, believe in the changes the way you think you do, you better think before you speak and act. have tact with this fragile bond. you question the fondness of his love, but you’ll never know without the gentle touch of your soft voice on his glass heart. you’re not the only one who hurts,...

what’s it like to be hooked on you? like a wet feather, stuck to the ground. like seaweed wrapped tight around the mossy rocks. like a fish in your net of love. is it love? i hardly believe so. it is an illusion of desire, a story i tell myself. truthfully, i’m a cub in a predator’s beartrap. the physical pain numbed all other senses, and i’m lost like a butterfly in the...

natural is your skin on my skin. the rain that falls outside while we share each other. but please, i want me for myself, she says. so he lets her go, but more than she wanted. and there were never chains, but they painted them in their minds. they buried their desires, and lost each other. but forever? we have yet to know. for the naturalness of their love could only stay buried for so long. and...

these days it comes and goes. when you’re near my heart glows like a firefly, but it wears out. wears thin. the bulb needs to be changed, and that’s when we break. do you ache the way i do? when we wake from the dream that makes us gleam. for once, let us make it last. put the past behind us, just say yes.

we liked making love our separate ways. i wanted to be close to you, wrapped up in blankets, feeling your entire body pressed to mine. i knew you liked that too, but you had your moments of separation and wanting our bodies held farther apart. it was okay, i understood. and i still understand. but for some reason, i think i could make love my way a million times and never need that separation....

jar for my pointless tears
tonight’s a night i’m more than lonely. i listen to pleas of love on the radio. my heart crawling out to you, but you’re out of reach. it’s probably for the best, but my eyes are begging to gaze into yours. the only reason i’d want to sleep is in hope of meeting you in my dreams. it’s all that seems possible these days. i’d rather stay up all night, meet...

i write my best strings of words in the middle of the night when the world is asleep at least on this end and you creep under my skin linger back into my brain tease me with your empty words and leave me here to drain

i find myself lonely and alone, thinking about all your bones and all that i’ve known. empty in my mind i can’t rid of your kind. but what i find is this wrecked love of his.

hi everyone!
sorry there hasn’t been a poem in a while… i’ve been a little out of inspiration and energy. and school just started up for me again!
anyway, i’ve decided to test something out. you all know there is my book of poems for sale, but i was also thinking that in case there was a poem you really loved — i could write it out for you and send you a hard copy. since the book...

i miss you, i’m not afraid to admit it. i thought our friendship could endure this distance. until you wanted something i could not give. though we have a connection i can’t outlive. i care about you in a special way, though i’m not sure how. i’m so sorry we can’t be now.

skies full of lies
airplane wings cutting through the clouds conversation and laughter jutting from the crowds while my heart is strutting through loudness of your stompsteps on my spine wrapped around my bones like a vine in our final decline a sign from the divine you’re still mine

insomnia in my cells, makes me up into my pieces. taken over by the spells, this rarely decreases.
can i stop giving the past so much affection? we’re through. reflection, it’s all i do.

my favorite way to kill you is with kindness. you don’t want me to care for you, but i do. no matter what you do. it satisfies me to be the better person. she may be too good for you, but i’m better.
