this is for you
and it only ever was
you were the one
to push me through
urging bullying daring taunting
whatever it took
to realize that potential
you always talked about
there was never a question
about understanding
i know it's there
you know it's there
they know it's there
ultimately the encouragement
turned in on itself
and became too much to bear
as the fear of failure
or the fear of success
rammed into my temples
day after day
night after night
alone and thinking
about plans gone awry
and why
the purpose must be pure
and in one's own time
within a personal schedule
not one written by strangers
touch me with the stardust
and i'll swallow it whole
sprinkle me with holy water
for protection and guidance
hold me with the love
that is ever within these veins
i see your eyes say yes
you know me
and it is good
tell yourself you need patience
because even though you wait
i also do
for everything to feel
just right,baby
and as of this moment
with the smile of an innocent newborn
i know that power once more
i'm sorry if you were scared
i was too
but i don't know what of
maybe just that it could be
it will happen
as promised on the warm desert wind
and the canadian april
and the autumn on ninth
merry christmas,darling

oh happy love
this is for you

    I really like that you write such long in-depth poems

    normally I just skip over when people write such long ones, but yours keep my attention all the way through. Good work.
    The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.

    I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.

    went to krislund today
    to show
    truth
    eddie
    through my eyes
    me i'm a schizophrenic hypocrite
    time for a smoke
    like giving a dog a bone
    freedom of the known
    because 'the mind has no borders'
    'of my birthday deathbed,'-stp
    he wouldnt' come near me
    to answer the same question
    twice
    quickly looks a way
    but he always seems to say no to reincarnation
    and sorry to ruin the conversation
    i'm trying his patience
    so always choose pink
    or not
    'other than it was really awesome after i got out of the room with the water in the bottom'
    so tonight on the porch
    a couple nights after the last time i talked i asked my dog to tell me by blinks could he have stopped
    hitler
    anyway i ended up punching him in the head
    her
    closing drawers turning pages sealing envelopes jumbling change and keys
    for every
    thought every nuance of a thought which was when...
    he doesn't pounce on me much at all now but i am off track what i mean is he
    plays more now and i can sense him when he comes into lykens even when hes only walking around and not making any judgement motions
    jack stared at me stared at the book stared at me stared at the book when i was in my truck picked up the book and read 'god had become problematic'
    fans can paralyze i repeat
    he told me once in the body of an old lady in my apartment building before i was evicted
    he tells me all the time now
    which means when a fan is on you don't even notice the goddamn thing
    which means when you are being and doing without ever taking a giant step back enter another objective self and evaluate yourself you are more than likely being a ridiculous
    bastard walkin round in one circle lookin down at the ground
    i think everybody including me is just tryign to be a good fuck
    anyways
    and your art ceases to be self expression and you become an actor
    john mellencamp under the guise of distinguished deep meleancholy
    or are you
