Early Writings

My likeliness to like the love

My deadliness to love the gloves

My piggy bank is shattered

My innard pennies all for sale

Heighten my flattering freeway of disasters

Single out my ugliness, my temporaries

Cast me to my king of gloom

Dip me in the soup of doom

My miles of disaster

My feathers of loneliness

Dying off my post-hastes

My fleshened feelings buried scatter

Cupid smiles in satisfactory belief

My smiling frown, completes my centre gown

My love is suicide

My fashions I design

My nurseries of grime

Where have my manners scurried to?

Still, I shy to your goldfish smile

We're just rag-dolls to the wind

Let us join their cradle, rock-a bye

Let us shatter our procrastinations now

I look in the mirror, I see you

Dashed upon the wrinkles in my heart

We're tap-dancing your way through time

A painting of your skin

A painting of your mind

A painting of something

I long to find

Summer has been slain

Autumn holds its first breath

My faith in you is growing

As our hesitation is as still as death

As salty as the seas we walk upon

As our imaginary love grows up

Our perfect design of life is ours to keep
