I’m just a student of the pen
Josyift, 2023
And learning how to feel.
But I just heard that A.I.’s in;
it’s too late to be real!

I used to love you more than life itself,
Josyift, 2023
A time so long ago that I forgot.
Today I’m just a miserable self.
But then again, I haven’t yet forgot.
I am not like the other people here,
But solitude has been my greatest gift.
I journeyed by myself and found you near;
You gave this lonely hitchhiker a lift.
I used to always rush to what is new,
But there’s been nothing new since I found you.
Found in you, through you, I was made anew.
And I’ve been made anew again, tonight.
Do you still love me more than life itself?
Do you still love me, Joe, the miserable self?

You wanted something natural

I wanted something real
Real good smellin’
Soft and smooth, habitual
Consensual, the lie
We’re tellin’?
I’m no good
At tellin’
The Moments Linger…
Vanilla perfume lingers in the air

And silk pajamas cling onto your shadow.
I’m sure they’d feel as fine as your soft hair.
My hand are far too rough to notice, though.

The mandarin moons

are resolute against
a blackened sky. Rapaciously, they
follow suit, of
smokey suns gone by.
