Lackluster blockbusters
Fresh from the mold,
Sequels lacking
Any and all creativity —
I will watch something original
Or nothing at all.

Lunar beams and movie stars,
Sugar, salt, and caramel —
Canvas dreams in technicolor.

Common pain
Shared in words
Loses mass —
Will become
Overcome
Common hurt.

A look, a touch,
Ignite all engines —
Let me pull you close
And kiss you.
Lean into my hunger,
Feed my storm until
All but our heartbeats
Stills.

Of all that blossoms,
All that grows —
In my garden
Love is tended to
The most.

Clearing out
And cleaning up,
Seeking space
And craving peace —
Of mind,
Of life,
Slowly shedding history.

Dire odds
That seemed so bright,
Spinning the wheel again
Rarely makes it right.

Sell your shit,
But keep your soul —
The Devil always
Undervalues.

Past-tense clarity —
The soundtrack
Of you and me
Turned out to be
All broken hearted.

Nothing special,
Just the joys of
You and me, together
For a day without
The strain of obligation —
Rest, and instant happiness.

All we have
And all we've learned,
All we are
And ever were —
Deconstructable.

Square my shoulders,
Stand my ground,
I will not
Be pushed around —
Enough is enough.

Start of a chapter,
End of the rest —
Looking back,
I've learned that
Reliving is pain.
Life and love lie ahead.

In the open,
Off your chest —
The air clears,
Pressure drops.
There's nothing
We can't solve
If we just
Talk.

Love to pain.
We forged our path
But somewhere along the way
You strayed —
Lost to me,
Lost to reason,
No matter what I say.
The sad reality?
All that's left,
A painful ultimatum.

You know it's
Way past leaving time,
When you feel shitty
For doing something right.

Dusted, polished,
Tended, cared for —
Discounted
And sold with love.

Dazzling rays of unexpected,
Captured at
The right place,
The right angle,
The right moment —
Shades and colors of existence,
Locked and frozen for all time.

Spinning, smiling,
Love's embrace —
Hold me,
Kiss me,
Dance with me
From now until
Our end of days.
