Moonman



In the waning moonlight,

A piercing howl broke into the night.
Wings beat furiously in the air,
Thudding in sync with my nervous heartbeat.

Submerged in the darkness of the woods,
I stood stiff and still.
Feeling goosebumps tricking down my nape,
I could not yet run.

Hands in the button.
Keep still.
Your hands are my eyes,
My gut feeling never lies.

Ralph



I like the way you warble,

Through the shower curtains in the morning,
Writhing under the cold splashes of water,
Furiously scrubbing away.
I adore your refusal to buy me trinkets,
To insist on making something,
Conjuring up strings and spools of excuses,
Prattling on about the embodiment of your essence in your makings.
I find your constant epiphanies rather bland,
Having to listen to you pine on and on about something I couldn't ever seem to grasp,
It's not that you are disinteresting,
It's just that you're, you.
I don't want anybody else,
Just one,
Of you.

Where're you headed?



It's all fun and games until then,

That fateful moment.
When two star-blinded creatures cross one another,
Somebody's going to lose his head.

Nook



Haplessly it slithers through the nook and crannies of the alleys,
Slinking stealthily away from the threat,
Wandering aimlessly in need of the exit,
This appears into view.

Stop Motion



Stop, click.
Stop, click.

Stop, click.
Scuffle, scrabble, a little tweak here and there,
Alright.
Repeat.

The thrill of giving life,
To an anonymous sheet of paper,
Letting it dance freely to it's heart's content,
The joy in my heart.



Memories in each shot,
The 80 unique hearts.
Drawn, cut, painted,
My morbid love affair.

Man-Aid



I feel my insides exploding outwards,
Like a constricted ball of fluff.
Trying to escape the binds of my skin,
Taut like a drum it stretches.

My feet, they tremble.
My mind, it is not sane.
My feelings, only pain.
My emotions? There are none.

Only sadness,
Sadness,
And more sadness.

Wingman



Now that the knowledge has been bequeathed upon you,

Wash away your pit stains of ignorance.
Let us take flight once more,
And against the wind we shall fly.
