I might hang myself right side down and drip dry my self from swinging hooks, so that you might have room to make a home beneath my skin.
I want your hands against these bones which ache, too much, for your touch, and for your heart to beat in unison alongside the endless murmurs of mine.
I wouldn’t mind having you under this skin, so would it be too much to ask, to have you make your way in?

Triolet Poem #62
Some will still bite the hand that feeds, yet they will still beg you for more. More flames are all a fire needs. Some will still bite the hand that feeds. Follow the light, see where it leads, we don't need reasons to lie for. Some will still bite the hand that feeds, yet they will still beg you for more.
"The Hand That Feeds", JEP

point a
My stomach is full Full of things to say, still Tongues are useless Not worth the burn
A dance for two, fire and fire Its sweet allure Leaves a bitter taste Crushing my fingers, one by one Bound by dread Why build a sandcastle Why use bones

wandering the industrial landscape with the best headache money can buy the burial of the ego in the hills of fallen bricks.
i'll take my chances digging graves with only hands
i'll take my chances revolutionizing the dead world of crying in a phonebooth

Somewhere, I am alive. Not here—where this body burrows into itself, but somewhere else. Where the sinew knows what’s expected and is grateful. There—I dance, and it does not hurt. I move without thunder in my chest. I’m free to go out softly, into the rest of it, and live and live and live.
— From Winter, ‘Not Here’

Love is many things but it is also an agreement where both parties state their needs, their expectations, their limits. Both must be honest with each other and themselves, and go in with eyes wide open. Things must be talked out loud, and not assumed. Hurts must not be allowed to fester and anything that bothers or upsets you must be brought out to the light even if it is difficult. Communication must always remain open and vibrant for change is inevitable and these conversations must be had constantly. If there comes a time you cannot come to an understanding then please part before bitterness and hurt take over and obliterate every good memory from both of your hearts. Love is an agreement, a pact, a promise, something that must be held in reverence and honored by those involved.

The moment I saw her, is the moment I became jealous of the sun that touches her skin, the air that is pulled into her lungs, the wind that caresses its fingers tight around her body.
That's the moment I truly knew how to dream.

How do I know these hands
are the right ones?
Sometimes they feel
so distant I think,
surely
they cannot be mine --
And if they are, mine
(the "right" ones) --
then are they the
r i g h t o n e s ?
Are these hands the ones
made
to fit in yours?
And, then,
what of yours?
Are they made to fit
in mine?

Before the lights go out
Let's be lovers for a day, In case we won't make it through the night! At least we'll have a story to hold onto  For when the world ends, We know we're not meant to grow old So maybe let's tell each other words We’ve never heard before, Confess our crimes and taste the sky Before it all comes down, Before the earth is fire and ash, Before the lights go out.
~ A. A. Roman

dazzling drops
of April sunlight
form constellations
among the mangroves
diamond chains
of exploding novas
sparked to life by an
ever-changing cosmos

I write to you, of you, not because our souls are intertwined, neither because you're mine or I'm yours, but because I do not know of any other audience, for these thoughts, in the form of mere words, for this fragmented existence, which reveals through the cracks of past experiences, to lose itself in the captivating beauty, that is yourself.

Sometimes I need you so much. I don't know why there seems to be a black hole that opens inside my chest, a tightness in my throat that won't leave, this burning in my blood that screams your name.
