Who is Night Time?

Maintaining your territory
The coat of lies as heavy as armor
You have no face, no name
Only a treasure to be guarded
That generator of self worth

Night Dreaming

I hover between lucidity
and

fainting.

I want to remove your glasses
Stroke your temples
Trace lines across your shoulders
Kiss your soft, half-sleeping lips

Yes, Just Like That.

Are we,
Am I?
Right to find
the layer underneath insecurities
Thin and fragile?

Going too deep is dangerous.

To Part

A
part
Together
Apart

Something like puzzle pieces
in a blender.

You are only seeing her a little,
You are not impressed with me right now.

What are words but letters?

Break it down
Breaking down

A colourful menagerie
of lies, and half truths
I have no idea what I have done wrong
Or right, for that matter.

Emotions the night sky
Plastered onto corrugated cardboard
5000 pieces and solar eclipses

The Puddle Jumper

Into the centre
Ripples are tiny breathes
Exhale to Inhale

Yellow plastic boots
Drops of rain
Silent water dancers

Constellations of mud
Pink chubby fingers
Low forming giggles

This and That

This is here.

No and where there is.

I just want my tongue on your teeth.
I fly to the moon and swim it's lakes,
I circle the sun on wax wings
I just want to lay beside you.

Here is under there.

The push of forward motion.

I just want to touch your face.
I race across the yellow prairies,
I climb the mountain's tallest ridge
I just want to see your smile.

Take me one step closer
to that.

The days pass
-Under bridges
Hidden from sight
Tunnels of sound

I am running
-I can't catch up
The wind is much too fast

Let me just say this,
I am a selfish creature
-You were a selfish mistake

How do you fix love when there was none?
