i am certain
that it is a dangerous thing
to be certain.

sometimes...the exit is all you have



stop.
right now.

good.
we're making progress.

when the sunlight hits my back,
I like to think that all its rays
are giving me a little push.

all i need
is for you to show me
that there is a heart that's still alive
in this place.

even though you're hundreds of miles away,
and you have countless closer friends,
you're the closest thing to a best friend that I have.

thank you.

touch, barely, with the tips of your fingers
and you'll push away what you meant to keep.

grasp, withholding no speck of fear within your body
and you will always catch what you're reaching for.

just be ready to fall.

you can't stop the bullets
unless you stop firing, yourself.

strawberry poppyseeds
lemon-grit toes
shoe-shine sasparilla
you and me.

the most different of things
can sometimes sound great together.

you can either be a hero or a lover
divide yourself for many or give yourself wholly to one.

you cannot give a part of yourself to someone who gives freely of their whole self.

The Pheonix Dies Last


if this fire inside consumes me
and i become nothing more than ashes
then i will be honored
to feed the earth.
