half full.

thedustdancestoo:

she wore life

with a smile

and a navy blue cardigan,

sketching hope

rebelliously

into the palm of her hand

with red ink.

before the sun.

thedustdancestoo:

i wake up before the sun,
with a hum of words
inside my head
trying to get out 
in the darkness,
in the silence

i write

trying to fill the blank pages
of brand-new notebooks
but i can only produce
a mediocre scream,
a whimper
a plea or cry,
a pathetic
and feeble try
at something meaningful
honest
and true.

haiku #62.

thedustdancestoo:

i’m lost. trapped inside

this storm; trapped inside these thoughts.

you’ve bewitched my mind.

atomic (part one).

thedustdancestoo:

i find you

in the smallest spaces

of the tiniest fibers

of my breath.

you flow from my lungs

to my lips

with each syllable i mumble,

every particle i exhale.

i find you

in the smallest spaces

of the tiniest fibers

of everything i see

feel,

hear,

taste,

and write.

i write, therefore i am.

thedustdancestoo:

ink drips from my fingers,

ink flows through my veins.

these tiny teardrops

of poems and stories,

pouring from the aqueducts

of my brain.

has poetry lost its power?

thedustdancestoo:

the words i write

are inconsequential,

senescent syllables

losing their strength

and ability to stay 

alive on a page

for more than two seconds,

they fade and fall off

getting lost forever,

unable to find a way

into your heart.

let me understand everything.

thedustdancestoo:

i wish

i could shine a light
through the back of
your skull, so it would spill
out of your eyesockets

and project everything
that hides inside your head
onto the wallpaper.

sometimes

when my mind is congested,

i sneeze, and words come out.

thedustdancestoo:

today, even the sunshine feels
hollow in my hands, and
i can find no words to decribe
the feeling that’s filling me.
