Proving to myself

Showering
Immediately after your hug
Because i know
Your touch
Went much deeper than the skin
Of my temple

Deagging my feet

You
So ready to lead me
Hand in hand
To the depths of your soul
Eager for me
To know,
To love
And how do i tell
Your eyes shining
With expectation
That i just 
Want to turn back
And never have to lie
About how distateful i find
The depth of your soul
That refused to grow 
Since its fifteenth birthday

Leser of the two solitudes

Talking to you
Makes me even lonelier
Than not

Knowing that you are
Unattainable

But frankly, id rather have
This achingly sweet loneliness
Than the void of your absence

fine words

as if words are just words
and have no roots in feeling

angular momentum

If I spin counterclockwise,
each turn robs the planet
of angular momentum
slowing its spin the tiniest bit
lengthening the night,
pushing back the dawn
giving me a little more
time here with you

-XKCD

and I, who flounder
in the timeless
space of triples ws,
think you and I have forever

Forever to ask,
Probe,
Mull,
Understand,
Enjoy

Granting,
Of course,
That you want to be around
That long

spelling out gestures

you don't have to leave
your door open for me

if you leave it unlatched
i will do the rest

-Z

agnostic

the word does not half cover
the struggles that come with it
-Z

fighting determinism

no one is completely free
but if i choose my own servitude
it frees me
-Z

packing infinities in finite moments

we know a housefly
has a life of five days
but the housefly itself
may have lived through
twenty years
-Z

Augustus Water's time

I wish time was like
Augustus Water's cigarette
I would embrace thirty
If only it did not have the power
To age me

I wish time was just a metaphor

I do not wish to be

In a world without you

Who make my ordinary life
Extra-ordinary
Just by your existence
