Poetry

Let us save you (2026)

the light shards.
time is pulled out from under us and the monoliths rise.
cables wrap the sky like cording around a blade's handle.
darkness emanates.
you wonder where it all started.
did they save you?

Figure Eight (2026)

Hurt yet still starry-eyed

Like I'm just stuck on this ride

We meet at the last train stop

Stood before an eternal drop

The Sun always setting and forever sunrising

Circling 'round a clear, endless horizon

I tell you I'm sorry and I forgive you too

And it leaves me realising

I'm scared I won't miss you

As we part ways

To survive the end days

I wish we could stay

I'm not afraid of love

But maybe you've had enough

Of me

In your dreams

I know we've had it rough

The world's lost a few doves

I held on too much

When I let go it let go of me

But you'll still visit in my dreams

And hopefully you get to forget me

As seasons play nostalgic remiss

And I'll remember you like this

And after all the years

I wrote you rhymes

Through shadows and tears

I finally get to say goodbye

Phone Pirate (2025)

A tattered suit, clothes drying over phone lines, rasterized portraits, braided wires, bamboo stocks in my dresser, a cracked vanity, teacups full of nails, a quiet evening illuminated by a blue screen, a Mercedes with tractor tires, an oil-stained tuxedo, playing Mozart through a flip phone, grease

the rain (2025)

if the rain is love
then you know i just cant get enough
if your hair is the clouds
then i know what im talking about

if love is the rain
then you bring me peace
and we ease our pain

if your hair is the clouds
i know youll never leave
even when youre not around

There were men (2024)

Snowflake (2023)

Snowflake

Snowflake

I wake for you every day

Many of you drift together

During that long & short December

Days went by & so did you

I got to see what you liked to do

& you liked to draw & talk & sing

But I'm sorry if I don't remember everything

Snowflake

Snowflake

Oh how I miss those long morning bus rides

But how I never took the chance to gaze into your eyes

I never thought to just kiss your face and never say goodbye

Oh how I wish I would've crossed that bridge

I just never got the messagе

Snowflake

Forgive me for your tеars

Cos Snowflake

We're not made to be sad dear

Snowflake

You've come back, haven't you?

& Snowflake

What do we wanna do?

Waves (2023)

Welcome to the beginning

Or was it the end?

A bell with a whole new ring

I'm happy to do this again

It's our fault the past is gone

But there's a future I can give

Waves crash upon the shore

But I can't see you anymore

The rolling sea's lost its form

My dreams play through like a thunderstorm

Your spring ended my long pitfall

You could never tell I had it all

Your clouds grabbed me like a chain

But don't you know I love the rain

& if I had your name, I'd be lunar

If you had my name, you could live

It's not our fault the past is gone

So now's a fine time to livе

& no one can pull me from you

Now that evеry day is new

& though her leaving takes a toll

Well, that's just the way it goes

& we watch our love unfold

& it's just a wave that rolls

Thesis Part 2 (2023)

Now the game begins

A bright flash of light

Short circuit sins

We're never our type

We've found out why it's blue in the sky

& why it's hard to open your eyes

So I can see inside you

& now we know just what to do

Now, I think we'll win

Later's never ripe

Short circuit sins

Were never our type

We've found out why it's blue in the skies

& why it's hard to lose this disguise

So you can see inside me

& we can be, free

States (2023)

 This land of paths

 All too hostile to take

 Lazy witchcraft

 Prevents our escape

  There is nothing left

  But slivers of life

  Florescent lights

  Darken this gray heft

 Sanding all our time

'Til our clocks turn to rust

 I counted change so I could eat

 As if there's food you can trust.

Brown (2023)

The hyperfixation

From dry family diners

As if Ducks and Golf

Are the only things humanity enjoys

Antithesis (2023)

The straight path has now been bent

Too tied up then to repent

When I first knew you

We were innocent youth

The dark that I had inside

It now shines from in your eyes

What have we come to

Denying the truth

How did we get this far

Why made my mind in that car

Neon sounds were heaven spent

Is this really what I wanted?

Am I going to Hell?

Or am I already there?

My hello was also farewell

I can't believе I didn't care

The dark that I had inside

It now shinеs from in your eyes

What have we come to

Denying the truth

Through the maze of ravines

Chased by our enemies

A dark sky covers the fences

Unforeseen consequences

It now shines from in your eyes

We're telling ourselves lies

Smoke is the perfect trigger for rain

Thus our mistakes do cause us pain

Long after the fire is out

Smoldering remains of fear & doubt

This severed trust

This pitfall seems unending

I've had quite enough

Don't you dare turn into me

After The Parade (2022)

A tree, falls to the Earth

It becomes the earth

A man, falls to the Earth

He becomes the earth.

The Earth, falls to a tree

They both prevail

The Earth, falls to a man

The man shall die.

No one escapes.

Do not become Tree

Do not become Man

Become Earth

And you shall stand.

So too, do we

Rise as a tree

Alight from thunder

To united slumber. 

I don't wish (2021)

I wish I was dead

I wish forgiveness was erasure

I wish I was alive

Blood. (2021)

No-One Has Yet Changed Because They Love Me (2021)

Why do I

fall in love

i cant have you.

untitled (2021)

And I did get it. It came naturally to speak to pages in the mind like a shrink in a box. Of course, this would get me nowhere, but it would be a harmless way to push the problem forward so it could no longer knock at my door when there was work to be done. Doesn't anyone see the card on the handle anymore? Can't they tell that I want them to brashly ignore the card?

I just decided to write it for a taste of the prose that runs around in my mind, rather slinks around usually, but not sneakily, only in a tired fashion. Running would be for when the poetry stopped and the music began to play again, a seemingly endless cycle of warm, sad nights and crisp, bright mornings.

One has to remember, you live in a low that is someone's high. It's always morning somewhere, so you can slip deeper into the night with this fact or arise with the other hemisphere, those who are already in the future.

Birthday (2021)

I wrote a song for you

To give on your birthday

But all I would ever do

Is give my time away

A river (2020)

A river

The crossing

Regretting every moment, every step could be a fall

Don't drop your shoes

Why did we go this far?

The other side

A crossing

Short circuit, it was worth it

A river

Dirty Glass (2020)

A clear mind

Is quite hard to find

Not achieved

But a goal to strive

A goal that I have yet to see

Starting out

Is the hardest part

Not clear now

Takes time to perfect art

Recurring thoughts

Of itself and lots

Of good songs

Takes a lot to not sing along

Cadence (2020)

Your beat

Guided me

My feet

Now slide from under me

Beauty and meaning

From a pulse, a heart, mine beating

Sweet vibrations

From inside formations

Life, dissonant without the movement

Bars and measures become irrelevant

The first I realized you

You had created a mirror of yourself

Those brand new shoes

Now sit on a shelf.

Art and truth

Seem now aloof

No metronome now

Is a why, what, or how.

Idaho City (2020)

A lot goes on here

For a small town so queer

Jump and jive

As if it’s alive

A population of only deer.

Time (2020)

shadow love (2019)

It all turns to dust eventually

That's the terrifying beauty of art and love

it will be and then it will not

but there will always be some of it out there

but then a new day dawns

the past happens every day

as a new whisper of yesterever

it was and is and will be

we are everything

just remember that no matter what is lost, it still isn't

It's here but it is not

It's gone but still with you

It's everywhere yet nowhere

and the rivers of time will erode your mark

and it shall silently shout

for all time

people worry about the chaos theory through silver screens of time travel

yet never come to realize that we are chaos

love life and love love

you only get this chance

to start a dance

that will last

on and on

to this generation and next and next

forever

impermanent permanence

shadow love.

Change (2019)

The reason why the world sucks is because everyone is worrying about getting jobs that make cash instead of change.

"Poetry with Jacob" (2018)

The ground was covered with leaves like those peppers in Pizza Hut packets, y'know?

My Poetry (2017)

Here comes the end,

It’s nearing.

Turn on the bend,

We’re veering.

With the world crashing down,

let’s make amends…

Many, many years we’ll go,

Travelling through the snow.

Our coats of life we knit together,

And then it all ended in December.

What can I do-o, Lord.

I think I should cut the cord.

It was great when we scored,

But now I don’t have the right sword.

How can I do this?

To protect them all...

I swear I won’t miss,

I will answer the call.

Can I push for the better?

Cuz’ I’ve got lots to lose.

Should I send the first letter?

Or just let it all cruise...
