AT SUNDOWN

Click, bang, grin
Holster my weapon again
I'm two steps ahead of you
And just like you said to me
I'll probably kill you in the end.

You're more than an outlaw
But you cannot outdraw
The fastest gunslinger in the west.
My words are my ammo
My dear, you are too slow
So this is your literary death.

When I said I understand you
That should've been your first clue
To turn around and run
But now you must face me
You won't get away free

Click.
  Bang.
     Grin.

SUPERNOVA

Like waking up from a dream
You've almost forgotten
Who I am.
There's not much time
Left for us now
Before I become
Just a story in your head.
An echo
Of a star burned out
Long ago.
We were something once
But all things radioactive
Must change
To stabilize.
I'd rather explode.

BEHIND THE LIES

Lies

Not in your words

But in your eyes.

You shift your gaze

Away from me

To hide your face

So I can’t see

Your body language

Is constructed

As a ruse

For your amusement

In making women think

They've picked up

Your unconscious signals

That what you’re hiding

Is how you feel

But what’s in plain sight

Is that you don’t.

That ‘accidental’ brush

Of your hand against my leg

Or that song that

Just so happened to play

The subtleties in

All the things you say.

But then all of the things

That you never could have planned

The perfect responses to my thoughts

As if I had accidentally

Spoken them aloud.

Then the rest of the world started singing along

And all the noise around me

Turned to sound

Which at times seems like a symphony

A waltz, or poetry.

But usually

Like the universe is colliding

Reality is collapsing

Destiny is calling

The matrix is glitching

Lagging

Crashing

Rebooting.

AGELESS

The soul is ageless.

It knows no boundaries of time or space

Or conditions pertaining to

A corporeal form.

It is a shared energy,

A metaphor,

Borrowed from the universe

Connecting all of life

Where I start to lose my sense of ‘Me’

And realize

I am older than I appear to be.

My atoms sprung from ancient stars

All whispering the secrets

Of life, and love,

And power

And destiny.

So here I am,

Deciding which part of the universe to be

When I realize

Undoubtedly

The universe is me.
