There’s no such thing
As just a room
just a bed
just a house
Anywhere you’ve been becomes blessed.

Sugar Moon (Lyrics + Song)
For Situ
[Verse 1]
I want to know your name
But you won’t give me a thing
Told me to guess, that’s true
I tell you what I’m gonna do
[Chorus]
You’re something like the sky
You always hold my view
If I could call you anything
I’d call you Sugar Moon
I’d call you
[Verse 2]
I finally know your name
Think it sounds pretty cool
But there’s just one thing
That I gotta tell you
[Chorus (2x)]
You’re something like the sky
You always hold my view
If I could call you anything
I’d call you Sugar Moon
[Bridge (2x)]
It doesn’t matter where we go
It doesn’t matter what we do
If you’re standing in the room
Then I’m staring at you
[Chorus]
You’re something like the sky
You always hold my view
If I could call you anything
I’d call you Sugar Moon
You’re something like the sky
You always hold my view
If I could call you anything
I’d call you Sugar Moon
It doesn’t matter where we go
It doesn’t matter what we do
If I could call you anything
I’d call you Sugar Moon
[Guitar Solo]

Push and Run (Song Lyrics + Song)
[Verse 1]
You told me that you’d never leave
In fact, you promised me
What do these words even mean
When they don’t last past a week?
I’ve seen you up in my dreams
The only place you don’t leave
What does that even mean
When it don’t last past a sleep?
[Chorus]
You push and run
You push and run
You run faster than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
You push harder than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
Is that your superpower, huh?
Is that your…?
[Verse 2]
I told you that I’d never leave
You should’ve trusted me
I don’t do make-believes
Not even in a dream
This wasn’t fantasy
No matter what it seems
I’m coming for you, babe
Tossing the world out the way
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You’re drifting me out toward sea
Drown every time I believe
This time I don’t think I can breathe
This time there’s no air left for me
You’re drifting me out toward sea
Die every time that you leave
This time I don’t think I should breathe
This time I don’t want to be
[Chorus]
You push and run
You push and run
You run faster than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
You push harder than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
I know that more than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
Is that you superpower, huh?
Or do you do it for fun?
Whoa, or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so
I have to run?
Or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so?
I have to….

What Is Poetry Anyway?
Forget the sensuous rhythms, the candlelit flows
The flame-drenched language
and the exaggerated escapades
Forget the masterful forms, the dreamy refrains
The count of lines and stanzas
and the elaborate rhyming schemes
Forget the scathing irony, the fanciful similes
The absolutely astonishing alliteration
and the mind-blowing metaphors
Forget all that glitter and just keep the gold
A poem isn’t a poem
Unless it’s about you
_________________________________________________________
Here’s also the first version of this poem, which I’ve been working on for too long.
A poem is not a poem
On the page
Unless it’s about you
Though it may feel and look
Like some poetry
It’s not the same
Every word decays
In my candlelit mind
Unless it’s about you
Often lines and stanzas
Go astray, too, when
A poem is not a poem
Because there is no prose
Or even rhyme
Unless it’s about you
And in my heart and
On the page
A poem is not a poem
Unless it’s about you
Universal Song
By Benjamin Grossman & Ace
Push and pull
Empty and full
Ebb and flow
Learn and know
A balance of inwardness
And outwardness
I wish I could explain
The twists and turns of this lane
Dark and light
Day and night
Observing and living
Receiving and giving
There’s a dream to be at peace
There’s a knowing it’s within range
With a smile and a breath of release
This feeling is a message no longer strange

Only So (Pt. I)
I.
You took my heart to cloudnine
Only so you could drop it to groundzero
Yin
I’m missing my yin
No longer am I at peace
Just i n p

s
Drifting slowly away from light
Half my soul has departed
If yin is earth darkness cold
Why do I feel colder since you left?

High (Song Lyrics + Song)
[Verse 1]
I’m not that high
I’m not that cut and dry
But I don’t like grey
That’s all I wanted to say
[Chorus]
I know that everything you are
Is what I need
And everything you are
Is what I dreamed
So every time you say that you love me
I fall a little deeper in love, it’s true
It’s true, I fall a little deeper in love with you
[Verse 2]
You look so high
Your smile could reach the sky
You don’t like grey
That’s all you needed to say
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We’re going around in circles every day
But it doesn’t have to be this way
If all we want to do is run and play
Then we should, then we should
I keep looking into your eyes and seeing the sky
I keep looking into your eyes and wanting to fly
I keep looking into your eyes and feeling so high
I keep looking into your eyes and, baby, I’m high
[Chorus]
[Bridge 2]
You make me so high
You make me so high
I’ve learned how to fly
I’ve learned how to fly
[Chorus]
I know that everything you are
Is what I need
And everything you are
Is what I dreamed
So every time you say that you love me
I fall a little deeper in love, it’s true
I think I’m gonna stay in love with you
