Society disconnects us and then charges for reconnection.

Love is the most intoxicating decision, perpetually made.

Find the dark
behind the switches and the blinds
it's inside of things
under daylight's skin

a soft retreat
for eyes to rest
and thoughts to calm

If I could blink these manic, lidless eyes
for long enough to sleep
I would near the land of dreams
and the distant possibility of tears

I've never been read by the book I was trying to read
so well as with you.

I have over the last week discovered that
the freedom to be yourself really is priceless.

But today I have noted that the freedom
to be yourself is not worth quite so much
when you are simply by yourself.

It is that freedom to be yourself
around someone else which appeals?
The sudden lack of social stress
...is the relief.

Life spent encrypting screamed messages
so that painful moments
become ornaments

Although you see my eyes
watching your face,
you do not see what they see
and how they love all they perceive.

You assume it will run out
it never does.
The heart may leak tears of blood
but never dries
it won't as long as I'm alive.

Subtlety does not bore me
your quietness interests me
as do all the things unsaid
as much as those said.

Give me any variety of yourself
and I will be endlessly fascinated, 
but do not let me own you as I want you to be free.

How can we spend so much of life wanting something we don't have
...when so much goodness is already ours that we seem to ignore?
Perhaps the secret truth is that life is perfect, despite its flaws.

Life is one long chat - with little breaks

Love increases when divided by time
