The apocalypse is not nigh,
it is here;
open your eyes
and look into fear.
The end is not coming
it has arrived;
double check your phone
and try to survive.
The world is barren
and the network is dust
but by all means,
post a selfie if you must.

The Heart is a Muscle
Twenty-five crunches
followed by one hundred squats;
a heart out of shape.

3½
My office:
One floor,
3 and a half walls.
My life:
incomplete
and completely stalled.
My future:
the floor
and 3 and a half walls.

Blip
I think about how
you are such a tiny blip
on the radar of my life
and still it seems
you enter my thoughts
more than others might.
I think about how
I will never see you again,
I don’t know your last name,
where you work,
where you live,
where you’ve been.
But still I think
and I ponder
and I dream
and I wonder.
Do you ever
do the same?

Wise
I think I’ve figured it out,
just what it all means,
life, love
and all the in betweens.
I’ve got the solution,
it’s as clear as day,
I saw the resolution,
back when I was a stray.
I know all,
and I see it too,
I can spot the fools,
that’s why I chose you.

From that Moment
From the moment I saw you,
I knew that your heart
was made for mine.
From that moment,
I loved you
beyond all space and time.
From the moment I saw you,
I knew that my heart
was made for you.
From that moment,
I knew that loving you
was the best thing I’d ever do.

Deceit
deceit
is sure to do
one thing:
destroy the life
of the one
who deceives

How do you fix
something not broken
just never meant to be?
How do you end
what should have never began
and get away free?
How do you hold
something so ephemeral
it melts in your hand?
How do you dare move on
when every day that passes,
you are lucky just to stand?

Flicker
A few candles burn
and the light of flame flickers
in time with my heart.

Monster Fun
Of all the things
that go bump in the night
and all the creatures
existing only to fright,
I never thought that you
would be the one
to rip my heart out
just for fun.
