An organic (untrained) poem for the person who needs one tonight.
I am just a silly boy, but you can pretend that I wrote this for you, because in a way, I did.

sleeping dragons strangle my throat as they sleep
as they dream dreams of being heroes
of gnashing, tearing teeth
ah but, come back now my love…
back from the edge that is gleaming

I feel that I have a whole person(s) inside that no one has ever seen. Like school, the whole world is moving so fast, so he sits and waits.
I really wonder what other people see when they i…
There is a cave at the bottom of the empty well
where everything spilt out
ran into the ocean
made rootless in the sea
lost amongst the swirling mass
carried further, further…

my love is overflowing
these shackles
these bonds
between people and pasts
politics and economics
my love is overflowing
it chokes the winter world
into swirling reds and whites

spirituality walked through the fields of dandelions
gold sparked against converse sneakers
and fuzzy love lifted off to tickle his nose.

dry air on my tongue
wet palms
I put my bag down just inside your door
I’m jet lagged
nerves shot to see you this close
for the first time
I am james
not gabriel
who are you that you would kill her for not denying her faith?
and who are you that would burn down the church for the color of a person’s skin?

oh you beat me so good
the welts rise on my back and in my heart
I scream out your name in ecstasy, in agony

I am not the artist
you would recognize
I take broken feelings
and make something new.
I do not own the pieces
