Snooze

-

Wait

Can we hit snooze real quick on this goodnight?

I’m not ready to turn off the lights

I need five more minutes of staring into your eyes

Eight more minutes of tense sighs and alibis for thoughts we have yet to speak into existence

Holding onto straggling strands of silence

Between our giggles and suggestive conversations


Give me thirty more minutes into these witching hours

Casting spells and guttural howls

Beneath quiet boundaries where we play coy with our curiosities

Wandering around words,

Tiptoeing untold stories

Fighting the urge to say

I’ve been daydreaming of the way you taste

Fantasizing how your fingers feel wrapped around my waist

Lost in a sea of waves of raven hair

How we touch like prayer

But move like born-again sinners

Horns holding up halos

Patience growing thinner

Willpower waning

Every time you whisper my name


Together we wield a powerful magic

No static when we mix these potions

Spirits and sodas inspire divine motions between us

Got me reading about our Venus compatibility 

Like, this chemistry has got to be celestially aligned

Don’t pay mind to my occasional stutters or accidental rhymes

You see, you bring poetry out of me

And simultaneous courage

To say things I normally would only boldly emblazon onto paper


You make it feel safe here

To finally shed my armor a little at a time

I hope you could stay here a little longer

As to further acquaint our lips with our minds

Unfolding as we lie perfectly intertwined

Let me hit snooze until sunrise

Leave sleep for the dead and depressed

I’d risk dark circles and puffy eyes

To fall asleep on your chest mid-sentence


“Good morning, darling, goodni-“

Origins

-
I’m not crazy, weathered at worst Like early days of earth Rubble rock birthing life from  violent destruction Fires burning molten in the underbelly of my origins Bubbling beneath cracked surfaces Where I oftentimes appear stable My heart is a volcano Bursting at the seams where new ground must form Former foundations crumbling, splitting like Pangaea  Where connections we once had feel like nothing more than distant history Evolution of man How he crawled out of water to feel sun upon his face How I would wait hundreds of thousands of years  In hopes he’d emerge from darkness to find me Staring out into space The nostalgia of quiet combustion Peering into past lives in the distance Knowing most of what I know to be beautiful is dead I am a supernova  Bursting at the seams where new life may form  Gathering masses from stray debris Gasses and gravity Nebulous love Pulling together new solar systems  in ancient designs and unwritten formulas Life is messy Somehow we find a way to fall

Where do I begin When the whole world has been crumbling for a minute All of us fighting for this pot to piss in like it’s the only place to sit Game of porcelain thrones Everyone bleeding over one-ply papers Worth international deficit Shout out to my American privilege Where ignorance is protected And propaganda is the primary news outlet No scorn over countries war torn, just know both sides are US funded Terror isn’t as terrifying til you and yours become the target When it comes knocking at your door Economic decline existing solely in the working class and poor Gas is $4.20 in Vegas on a good day I’m just trying to make it to work Make it work Knowing someone else is benefiting from this sweat Thirty percent of this check Already guaranteed to the government Navigating tourist traffic They have a habit of making us their escape Make us wait as they wade through ensembles of tax dollars on display While teachers take yet another strike day Begging for a fraction of what is deserve

Which Apocalypse Are You Rooting For?

I'm something of a movie junkie. I love them! There are so many on my "to-see" list that I just feel I've grown insatiable. One of my favorite genres is the whole major disaster/end of the world bit, mainly because I am an extremely pessimistic person [unfortunately] and I have what I like to call a "final destination" perspective. Whether you wanna call it Murphy's Law or just bad luck, I have given up doubting that the worst possible thing(s) could happen to me. I'm not gonna say I live my life in fear of death, but that my imagination allows me to play with ideas of death happening in pretty much any situation.   Anywho, I just watched Jurassic World [don't ask me why I waited so long to see it in theaters]. It was so awesome! It's amazing to think of what magnificent feats can be achieved through genetic modifications. Magnificent, but terrifying at the same time. I'm sick of humans always trying to play God. I would not be at
