ME

 

If when thinking of me you define me by associating me with someone else, that is proof you know less about me than you think you do.

 

You and I

 

You and I are not we

We are simply you and I

Separated by the walls we have built for each other

Suppressed is we

Rearranging it to you and me

Because there is no you without me

But there is you without I

And you weren't there when it was just me

So let me be alone, let me be I, let me be me, please let me be

So I can be reminded of what it felt like when there was no you -- just me.

 

Adoration

I love to watch people I adore sleep. There's something about their body at rest that reminds me of my inner peace they've help create.

 

One Must Show

 

We love within boundaries that hinder our spontaneity when we constantly define what we mean to one another.

 

Infertile

 

I am no longer able to bare

The aches and pains

Of a love I would love to demonstrate

To a child

Who should be mine

But that from the love I am giving

I can not create

Infertile you and I

Because no matter how many times our bodies collided

At night comes the aches and pains of a love I can not create

Because the child is us

and drawn to each other is we

Because no matter how many times I gave my love to you

The love and memories can not be reproduced

And I am left with the desire to create...
