Ellem Sea

Ellem Sea

Death disappears
    when you're
        with me
I am lost
    without ponderosity
        in your sea
The surprise
    this mystery
        an undiscovered sea
I have found you
    you I see
        with you I swim
With you I see
    even echoes
        are new to me
Death has changed
    within the beauty
        of Ellem Sea

Cookies

It's like a cookie - for your brain
    Writing is
I just don't know why I don't
    Eat more.
I eat cookies - all the time.
    Can't stop
Myself sometimes. Quite
    The opposite
With writing. Yet here
    I am....
Writing about cookies-
    Questioning
Myself and everything.

Entirely Different

Who ever settled for insomnia?
Are you crazy?
Something
Inches of life
Moments of happiness
Fleeting extraordinaries
Sometimes I don't want to live
(But I don't want to die)
I just want transcendent rest
It's not a futuristic wish
So why do I always forget my senses?
It burns my throat - and deeper
It happens life this:
....A Ladybug! If only...
They don't come around here anymore
Not like that - with nothing to hide
You will never be with the moon
At night. Response: provocatively positive
It's like - being happy; when you think:
"Why is it like that?" But when it is not
Actually like that and it is really something
Entirely different but you instantly understand
Why, like it's normal, and always has been;
What does that mean in the world?
I'm no bug, but I howl just the same,
And I die just the same. It's nothing
To worry about. It's not violence,
It's just echoing beauty, if you focus.

to some

Sacred to some...it's sacred to some
On days without doing or thinking
It can frighten, invigorate,
Intoxicate, and numb
It's a sacrifice of life
A sacrifice to life
If life lives through it
One can do nothing else

Lara Marie

My girl, my girl - I hope you are well
I write you these words - I think of you now
I think of your smile - it makes me so well
I am grateful for you - you must know how

Lara Marie - what can't you be
Your allure with haste - it lured me so well
Your heart and strength - I know of more now
But Lara Marie - your smile: what can't it be

Your hair your eyes - and all I can see
Beauty itself - is jealous of thee!
(Sincere I am - though corny, likely)
Your smile I see, tonight - in absence of thee

This one last line - what can it be
But you, enough! - my Lara Marie

Clamor

Experiencing clamor like a minty brain
It's been pretty much stated
Nonsensical illusions stop by
Wanting to capitalize everything
Wishing for Amnesia
Whistling for the Train

Favoring my wrist
And its rose to the heart
The Ghosts of Delusion
Doing whatever they tell me
Giving my hand a little twist

My menthol Transmission screams with the twitch
Small, slow breaths of concrete mist

All at once, A quavering voice
Becomes futuristic and leans
Against The Empty Wall
Nonchalant with its magnetic choice

Listen: While you were gone
You did a lot of damage
Never met a single one
Thought they knew me
Remember my Mistakes
See the Mirrors through me

Secret Funeral

Before attending a funeral

Where I know no one

No one knows me

Where someone has died

And been buried in the sand

How long have I been doing this

Has it happened?

To be simple again

Like a heart attack

Life is permanent and smashing

Before attending a funeral

Thank You Note

She makes a sound with her smile

that reverberates inside me for

days remembered making me mirror

long after I'm able to see or hear her-

a reciprocal and inescapable pleasure.

Ellem Sea

Tell me what matters
Your admirable possibilities
And argyle socks
Patter promises equivocally
-eternities of possibilites-

Does the time of night ever change?
Your company is sweeter than sleep
In your eyes I exchange
Precious, countless sheep
For a dream I can soak and seep

Roman candles bloom back and forth
Competing for closeness with closeness
Foggy glasses, foggy windows
A summer night sways like fall

When I look into your windows
I see everything, experiencing swollen silence

Deep into Ellem Sea
Every day my eyes pause
Dancing curls cover
Golden-green glares
Sunset smile

Tell me what matters
If time ever changes

Road Kill: Ode to Art

Road kill: your soul splayed emotionlessly
Displayed with haste and emotional need
Sideways, it seems - with strange gravity
Emotion is an art; you are just dead.
Cubes of clouds above you now
Reflect your imagination: mirrored,
Silent, and alive with perspiration.
