From sniper island far away

[mondiboolean]

I fear no man, nor any being, or any force of this world - to give into fear is to forsake God. And he will surely let those forces overtake me.

"Once again I look out your window

and the world looks oddly different,

maybe the fields have blossomed,

or perhaps more stars have been born

delirious waves caress my feet,

something new, unknown,

sunsets whisper in my ear as well,

everywhere I find your odor, your shape

you are among old-growth pines,

in the fog along the coastal rocks,

around the most somber of afternoons

impossible to wipe away your job

from my eyes, from my sad mouth

you are the universe-made flesh."

— Francisco Aragón

How far would you go for her?

I would break my own heart and use the pieces to fix hers.

[mondiboolean]

I shatter thinking of you,

mirror panes devestated by the mere thought of your touch.

I have to close my eyes because I see you in each and every fragmented reflection,

my gut wrenches from the splintering pain of broken glass piercing deep into my skin.

There's nothing more left to see here,

But the broken mess I'm left to clean up.

“Your peace is more important than driving yourself crazy trying to understand why something happened the way it did. Let it go.”

Brimming with emptiness

[mondiboolean]

Regret is something I find in odd places,

I could be incorrectly strumming the c-chord on my guitar or staring blankly at the charcoal sky as it splits in half to make room for an inconsiderate bolt of lightning - then, all of a sudden, I'm bleeding out.

Patience

Left with a stinging papercut from the calendar page trying to pencil you in,

A price paid and well worth it if you ask me.

But don't ask me, I've forgotten too many dreams to be reliable.

If you want reliable, for 25 years, my heart has been breaking, been broken, for you - guaranteed or your money back.

When the bloodstained day finds its way front & center, will it leave a bitter taste in my mouth? Will I have the strength to wipe your job from my sad lips?

[mondiboolean]

Entwined in my past and rooted deep in my heart, I'd like to think I have the power to forget you.

But here I am again.

4am on a Saturday, and I can't sleep through the knots in my stomach thinking of you.
