  "Invictus"
  -William Ernest Henley-
  
  Out of the night that covers me
  Black as the pit from pole to pole
  I thank whatever gods may be
  For my unconquerable soul
  
  In the fell clutch of circumstance
  I have not winced nor cried aloud
  Under the bludgeonings of chance
  My head is bloody, but unbowed
  
  Beyond this place of wrath and tears
  Looms but the Horroe of the Shade
  And yet the menace of the years
  Finds and shall find me unafraid
  
  It matters not how strait the gate
  How charged with punishments the scroll
  I am the Master of My Fate
  I am the Captain of My Soul

  "Homesick"
  
  Homesick for myself, for her-
  as, after the heat wave breaks,
  the clear tones of the world manifest;
  cloud, bough, wall, insect,
  the very soul of light;
  Homesick as the fluted vault of desire, articulates itself,
  I am the Lover and the Loved
  Home and Wanderer,
  she who splits wood,
  and she who knocks,
  a stranger in a storm,
  two women eye to eye,
  measuring each others spirit,
  each others limitless desire...
  
  a whole new poetry beginning, Here.

  I love you
  as certain dark things
  are to be loved.
  In secret,
  between the shadow
  and the soul.
  
  -Pablo Neruda

  I wish we
  knew
  when
  we were
  young
  that we would
  spend a gigantic
  fraction
  of out lives
  looking into the mirror,
  Exhausted
  with the bones
  and skin
  that stare
  back.

  I am convinced that we,
  in some way, possess the
  stars inside us.
  Though it may be silly,
  entirely crazy,
  think of the beauty?
  We light up every moment
  we feel love and we fade
  every moment we feel pain.
  Just think of the gold
  in the waiting?
  The beautiful,
  terrible waiting
  of the chance to finally
  shine again.

  I closed my
  eyes
  softly and fell
  in love with the
  way I
  remembered you:
  body, soul, and all.

  Ther is always something
  missing, god damn it.
  I swear.
  It is as if we humans
  were made with a million
  different holes in our
  chests and when we fill
  one, the next is just
  that much more difficult.

  For a brief moment,
  I swore,
  the moon fell
  asleep in your
  eyes
  and dreams became
  the way the light
  leaked
  from your eyelids.

  Walking forward,
  you see,
  thoughts unfolding
  rolling by, words recoiling
  distant skies
  throughout the journey you believe
  of course
  the constant footsteps, rustling leaves
  why should I lead
  and expect that you will follow
  if by my side, we both can fly
  side by side, we could survive;
  Tearing fibers of space and time
  who needs doctors, quantum rhymes?
  Dreams dissolving, flowing by,
  hopes unraveling, seperate sides
  you turn, you look, and where am I?
  The distant echos, so long ago had said,
  Goodbye.

  "My Only Love"
  
  Just to say I love you
  never seems enough.
  I've said it so many times
  I am afraid you won't understand
  what I really mean when I say it.
  How can so much feeling,
  so much adoration, possibly fit into
  those theree little words?
  But until I find some other
  way of saying what I feel, then
  "I love you" will have to do.
  So no matter how many times I say it,
  never take it lightly, for you my life,
  and my only love.
  I love you now more
  than ever before.

  An entire sea of water can't sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship.
  Similarly, the negativity of the world can't put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.

  how many stars
  can you count tonight
  by connecting your freckles
  with pretty red lines?
  
  it burns in the shower
  but that's okay. you don't
  deserve
  to feel happy
  anyway
  
  you would be infinite
  but there's one problem:
  your demons run wild
  and you don't know how to
  stop them
  
  you tug jeans over your hips
  and make your thighs cry. you
  still pray for an accident so
  you could finally
  die

  they say,
  how can you hate yourself so much
  when they barely know me
  and whisper, you're
  too young to be so sad when they,
  read my writing
  and when i cannot bring myself
  to attend their parties, they laugh,
  why are you always tired
  
  but if they spent two minutes
  inside my head, they'd realize it's
  a mircle
  i'm not already dead
