Sun in Orbit

To be honest,
I'm not worried about your attention..
As soon as I hit that mic
I know you'll remember why you came in
Soaking in the depths of my affections
Through these incantations of love

No, we don't
Need to make it known
How much we've grown into this intimacy
These past couple months specifically...
Because I know exactly who I want to come home with me
You see,
I don't need you to carve my name
Into your two empty wrists
Like property for you to proclaim
I was hoping maybe
We could just
Coexist

Resist the urge
To feed into the Third
World dimensions
Of starvation
For a nation satiated only
By codependency

The highest consumer market
Is that of the heart
And I never wanted our dynamic to fall apart
To the sweet sound of Disney music
And air conditioner jingles

If that's the case I'd rather just stay single
Allowing our thoughts to continue to intermingle
In the freedom of our reflected star freckles
Guiding us back to one another night after night

I always keep the moon in my sight
Even when she is hidden
So eye can see you
Even in the darkness and clouds,
Whatever else may shroud us in the shadows of our own self doubt
And inadequacy

It's always been your growth which intrigues me
The beauty of our journey..
Our footsteps are what keep the Earth turning
I'm still barely learning to take them one at a time
I cannot lie,
You have this way of quieting my mind
Letting go
Where my grip may falter
Finding me a different piece of myself to hold onto

You have this way of showing me all the things I've grown blind to
So I just want to remind you
That our bond is nothing I wish to bind you
To me
A magnetic pull which you can both feel and see
Gravitationally..
Inherent connection
Without fear of possession
Love without obsession
Congruent in passion
A magnetic attraction
Releasing any reason for physical attachment

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

Co-ping

I hate you the most when I really need you And you're there like you've always been Like you're still my best friend and we can face anything together Like I never left, Like you never let me.. Like we didn't have to let the story end And maybe there was still a chance for happily ever after Something about the softness in your eyes Or the secret in your smile Suddenly you didn't seem so evil I wept, and you held me closely Lips whispering in my ear, "You'll always be family" Heart screaming, "I'll always love you" Some things really don't ever change Because you've always loved me most when I needed to be saved I only crave you like my last cigarette When I see you making someone else happy Giving them that fix you used to give me, Or when I smell you and momentarily I am tempted by the familiarity My fingerstips itching to paint you in my past regrets I hate you most when I see you growing into the man I always wished you had be
