I live in a
Galaxy of stars suns
As they are known
All giving off light
But all also dying
None can be touched
All only are admired
Most people are suns
When young burn brightly
But as they age
And their own pompous
Mass begins to collapse
They don’t go away
Quietly like candles
But rather implode taking
Everyone and everything close
Live for today
Hope for tomorrow
But never ever
Miss the past
The past had
Once been today
When tomorrow hopeful
Hadn’t started yet
Let things go
Let things come
Always remain here
I wake up hopeful
It doesn’t take long
Before I’m right back
Into dismay and heartbreak
No not about love
That I do have
I am simply heartbroken
By humanity’s very behavior
How how can we
Possibly expect to survive
I’m not sure we
Can or better if
We should I’m losing
Hope in my brethren
Is the truth hard
To say does it
Get caught like bones
In the throat causing
Discomfort to me lies
Are like that I
Can’t even utter them
Don’t people understand that
The reason why this
World is where it
Is is because of
Bones in the throat
Caused by dining on
The flesh of others
I remember this song
It played when I
Thought about kissing you
The boulevard soundtrack we
Heard quietly through scratchy
Outdoor cafe speakers as
Waiters stacked chairs upon
Tables and you glided
As I scuffled dragging
My feet trying to
Capture you beneath the
Streetlight when you turned
Towards me kissed first
Then dashed on ahead
All coy and coquettish
As I your shy
Bumbling suitor stood blinking
That first became the
First of many firsts
Of firsts with you
