...................Years go by
                   Only to help us grow.
                   Urns could be filled
from the stRories told.
although thEre is pain,
   there is stilL
                 alOt to gain
   From this Very complex feeling.
          Don't Ever forget
              HolD this truth close

The door to my room
Like the door to my head
Slowly getting filled with
Things that need to be said

Poems and quotes
Things of meaning
Slowly getting leaked
With words and feelings
That will hopefully cause some bleeding

Music to my Eyes: Caledonia
Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
When I’m down and dreaming nightmares
You in my arms, the best joy I find
But if our love becomes endangered
And I become only a stranger
I will love you
Till the world dies
In holy fire

Don't dwell
Too much on the deep
For even though you’ll find beauty
Behind every light
Could be sharp teeth

You entered a stranger
Pouring down like rain
You came through like a storm
And stole my heart away

As time went on
You intensified
But then all of the sudden
We hit the eye

The eye was large
Filled with silence and peace
But I always thought
I don’t want this storm to cease

We got to the other end
Of the deadening peace
But only to find the storm
Oh so weak

But the feeling of rain
These kisses on my face
Keep my feet going
To return us to the storm

Creative Constipation
The way is blocked
Hurting only you
You can still help others
But your creativity stopped
You have Creative Constipation
And there is one way to make it stop

Face your fears
Try something new
Make a memory
Get scraped a few
Take a Creative Laxative
Get those juices flowing again

Then you’ll have
Creative Diarrhea
Ideas flowing forth
In the forms
Of line or verse
Movie or paint
Everything you see
Will be touched
By your creative spree

All I see if your love
All I feel is your hand
All I smell is your perfume
All I hear is you breathe in your sleep

As I see you cry
I feel your pain
As I hear your sobs
My body tears away

I see you rejoice
I hear you laugh
I feel your love
You take my breath away

You entered a stranger
Pouring down like rain
You came through like a storm
And stole my heart away

I used to not care for you
But now I wait every day
For you to be on
So I can talk my heart away

You’re sometimes busy
Sometimes in pain
But I know
You care every day

I helped you
You helped me
I wish we could meet
So desperately

Print this out
Hold it close
Always remember
You're my most

I still owe you proof
Of why you are amazing
But I didn’t want to sound too stupid
Or too crazy
Or utter cliché things
That wouldn’t cause you to move

Here is why you’re amazing
Because you saved a boy’s life
Both inside and out
You loved this demon
When it didn’t deserve love
You mended its scars
As soon as they were cut

Because of you
A scared little boy’s shell
Wasn’t shattered apart,
Just slowly chipped
Till the rest fell apart

You brought a smile
To a lonely nerd
You took his hand
When he was used to air
You lay on his shoulder
And made him stiffen like Medusa’s stare
And gave him a journal
That he filled with his despair

You are an angel
Because you love
You love Mom
You love Dad
You love my siblings
And you love nature
You caused me to grow
And love those I didn’t really know
Loulou
Will
Aunt Ginger
Jesus, God

You are outstanding
Because you care
About friends
And strangers
You sacrifice yourself
For others to be happy
You put yourself towards the bottom
So others can feel the top

You are amazing
Because you made a loner loser
Keep a jar
Of bubble soap
To blow away is pain
And hope to share with his princess one day

You’ve made a child
Who hasn’t cried in years
Bawl at the thought
That you wouldn’t be near
Or that he caused our tears

You’ve caused an arrogant gent
To stop and think
On whether it was time to grow up
Or lose his love
To stop and stare
At the road ahead
And the consequences of the path he led

You have known this “knight”
Who wears a tattered worn
Gym school uniform
And gave him hope
That he wouldn’t grow old alone

You met a child
In 2009
Whom you’ve help mold
Almost a third of his life
Into a man
Who he is proud of today

I know this is long
And it’s time for bed
But I couldn’t go another day
Without telling you the way
On which you have changed forever
The heart and mind
Of my person and my life
You are gorgeous
You are intelligent
You are stunning
But most of all
What I love over all
Is the fact that I have
The privilege to state the fact
That I love you
And that you are
Absolutely
Perfectly
Hands down
The most
Amazing person
That has ever
Entered my life

Don't shoot for perfection
For you'll certainly miss
Let perfection fall into place
Because what isn't known
Will bring the most bliss

Let’s have some Fun together
And make many memories together
Share many laughs together
Enjoy each other’s passion together

I want to keep a log
Written in lines and stanzas
Of all the joys we bring
And all the rules we break

Please let me fill journals
Of the things we do together
Of the mountains we climb
And the valleys we tumble in
Let me put them together
In poems of love

It’s Sixx AM
And I can’t help but think
Of all the love
Behind hard hearts
All the healing
Hidden in scars
All the angels
In devil horns

All of this good
Hidden under fleshy goo
Things that are immortal
Hidden inside mortal skin

Look underneath
Let the crust fall off
And light shine out
Let the world know
You are not your skin

A phrase of great power
The cause of much angst
The reason for many smiles
“אני אוהב אותך”

Without this feeling
Life would be less complete
“मैं तुमसे प्यार करता हूँ”

This phrase gives us power
The feeling gives us life
To many it is worth
All the strife
“Я люблю тебя”

For the love of our parent’s
Brought us into this world
It becomes our part to say
To all hearts that meet
“I love you”

Let’s go out
You and me
We’ll go running
Out of company

Running with shadows
Forcing us close
Running with the night
Protecting us whole

We can cry when we get back
Get angry when we return
But on our run
We’re chasing love

A poem a day
Keeps the pain away
The heart-ache at bay
Lights the way

A poem a day
To keep the head on straight
To help the mind concentrate
To keep love great

Laying here awake
Queen stuck in my head
Shouting the anthem
Don't stop me now

Laying here in bed
Wishing you were near
But I guess I'll just smile
And remember the days we've done

Relaxing here giggling
Over things I've done in my past
Over things I wish to do with you
It's kinda silly
A plastic card separates us

Relaxing here dreaming
Of the day I reach over
And pull you close
And fall asleep
With the scent of you in my face

Wind
What if wind
Isn’t wind?
It’s actually our ancestors
Whispering in

Like a breeze
Isn’t a breeze
It’s their calming voice
Guiding

Or a storm
Isn’t a storm
The torment is their anger
Followed by their tears

Our ancestor’s voice
Running through the air
It’s lovely to listen to
If we just stop and hear

Reach
Out of your mind
Imagine a hand
Give it a plan
Send it out
Filled with hope
Touch the heart
Of the one loved most

We talk of souls
And worlds of beyond
And the mind wonders
“What souls are beyond me?”

Could it be fairytales
Hiding in the gems of trees?
Or is it gods
Playing Sims joyfully?
Are those monsters hiding under the bed,
Or Atlas letting you rest your head?

What could be out there,
In the galaxies,
In the planes?
Or are we alone,
In this giant cosmic game?

Little tiny beads
Vibrating in space
Connecting us all together
Like loving mates

Little tiny beads
Zillions of years old
Came from a start
That was growing old

Little tiny beads
The children of old starts
Came together
To form who we are

Little tiny beads
Connecting us all
Giving us a bong
Unthinkable ages old
