let's be friends and wallow away together
free from the agents of control
yes, we'll be lonely and bored
but at least we can be happy within our souls

the monster is eating me alive
from the inside out
although he keeps me quiet
i wish to scream and shout

restless games
restless games

is not afraid of anything
not insects, crawling biting things
not mountain tops, from many fall
not heights, though very tall
not grizzly bears with claws so sharp
not steep and rocky dangerous scarps
not loneliness, although it hurts
not being stranded in dry deserts
not getting lost or feeling pain
not being stuck out in the rain
not being giving up upon
not staying awake until the dawn
not fighting or losing a good friend
not reaching her untimely end
not falling and scraping herself up
not being seen from very closeup
not losing her family or losing her phone
not living or dying completely alone
not being made out as a fool
is not afraid of anything
but you.

The Universe, The Universe
As far as the eye can see,
And more.
Beyond a hundred horizons
Or any lands lore.
A law unto itself,
To which we are all subjects.
The cheek!
To be so intrusive and yet elusive in kind.

From here to always
And every step along the way.
It is infinitely large,
And we are infinitely small
Or so they say.
Well then rejoice!
We are forever insignificant.
Our most triumphant failures
Shall not stir the sea of eternity
From it's silent expansion.

Too young for unforgiving teeth,
Green and bitter.
But you thought I was ready
for your love.

I now believe that perfection is felt in the moment my eyes converse with yours.
you respond with a nervous smile.
I believe bliss to be a privilege that can be found in  the young memory of your plush lips wet touch.
It's staggering to believe that my unsteady fingers have found courage to navigate your silky skin under an ivory moon.
All in one breath.

The world has jumped from east to west
My fingers can no longer reach out of my window and touch trees
They reach out to grasp the air
up thirteen miles high in the sky

I sit in my white tower alone
"She will be better because she is here." the people below say.
"It is better..." my sage said.

Show me why.
