Love, Love, Love
I watch you every time you enter my door,
I pretend not hear you, yes i choose to ignore.
Your perfume lingering in the air,
and your laughter swift by like wind in fall,
i would be lost in your presence, as you enter my door.
I do not capture you much in my mind,
my heart is well when you out of sight,
but...
every time you enter my door,
i forget of all i forgot about you before,
then you steal a piece of me and it
floats with your smile, and
my hearts beats like a pendulum,
as if to live by your oxygen.
I think of long nights of tee-a-tete,
under the moonlight sky,
then you walk home,
locking our hands as we part.
O' what joy!
when you look at me...
i see the depths of the ocean,
clear and serene, engulfing me in your tranquility.
Such feebleness i cannot comprehend,
To hope that i can hold your hand and
yet not. To hope...
Every time you enter my door,
Void of my love for you,
I wonder , if my hopes will ever come true.
The wool so soft and worn
The colours all faded
But glimpses of green
Tan
Red and blue
All show through
The rips in it are large
But it doesn’t make it
Any less warm
The sleeves slightly
Too big for me
Overlapping my hands
The neck is baggy
Leaving my collarbone exposed
The striped go horizontally
Across my chest
I can feel the voices
Speak through it
Years of history
Woven with the wool
I feel the cold breeze
Coming through a window
But this
My sweater
Protects me from harm
Probably because
You gave it to me.
I hope someday someone like you
Will take me out for hot chocolate
No I don’t want to go to a party
Or a movie, where you’ll drape your arm around me
As if I’m just another empty seat
I want you to genuinely want to spend time with me
Have a normal conversation with me
It doesn’t have to be over hot chocolate
I’m open to other hot beverages
Tea or coffee will do
Why must you think wolf whistling
Kissing me just to kiss me
Meaningless dates
Is how you’ll win me over?
And then complaining about me afterwards
I don’t comprehend
If you want to win my heart
Truly win me with all my flaws
And quirks
That I know you love
Even though I hate,
Hot chocolate is the way to go.
When she spoke, you had no say in the matter.
The sound rippling through the air demanded your attention.
Each and every minuscule cell and tissue in your body,
shifted towards her direction and each and every word was
so important.
Missing even the slightest moment of her rapturous passages
could cause the floor beneath to crumble into a
pit of sadness and sickness.
If a Polaroid of her existed hipsters all around would
deplete their parents' bank accounts to acquire it,
place it above their ikea furniture like a shrine
in their desolate Brooklyn apartment.
You just watched in amazement like a
young boy watching his first circus.
A viscous boxing match with the question
"How could someone like this exist?".
How could someone bring such jovial thoughts
with the slightest of effort?
She bent her elbow and my knees buckled
as if I witnessed a battalion of soldiers
wiped out by a single bullet.
I didn't know someone like this existed.
You had to all but smile seeing her walk
into somebody else's touch.
We're used to it.
Dance in the sand,
let the ocean waves push you to me.
Marinate your bones in the heat and breeze!
When winter arrives supposedly summer dies.
But ah summertime memories shall keep you warm
with our love, and set our shivering souls free!
Love, such a tender companion yet such a formidable foe.
It let's hearts wander, share, and grow.
Some say love plays a game that you cannot win,
but it's only those who don't believe that lose and cave in.
I may be broken, I may be buried,
but I will always hope, and keep the faith as I ferry.
For the sea of love is infinite,
this ship so sturdy and indefinite,
I will search until I fade,
across the ocean's waves
Until I settle on ONE LOVE so my flame may behave
I want to watch you rise and watch you set
I want your heat that makes me sweat
I'd sacrifice my heart just to gain your grace
Your light consumes and burns my face
Capable of turning worlds into ash
Yet you choose to cast what shows me a path
No moon can hide your shine in my eyes
Though you are exposed mystery is your guise
Change my skin as you come over me
Your warmth sinks deep keeping a sober me
You can be the day and I'll be the night
The eclipse will be our love in sight
Your soul is a star waiting to be a nova
The burst you'll have will put the universe in a coma
I look forward to being in the middle of it all
To feel your flames blast through the wall
Color the cosmos with your rays
Because you are my sun I will forever gaze
Embracing this moment
time is nonexistent
captivated and locked on
could never look away
every time those stars shine
you know I'll find a way
to make your heart mine
outside it can feel so divided
but I can confide that it's never with you
I'll write all the reasons I'm delighted
to see the way you brighten the feeling in a room
It's never too late to tell how you feel
acting out in love is more than words make real
I'm not afraid
to tell you I love you
til the sun rises in the west
I will be my best
grace in human form
it don't take nothing for you
It's as easy as summertime
with nothing to do
pace my speedy heart
I just want to rush into it
you make a man want to fly
across the universe
for better or worse
outside it can feel so divided
but I can confide that it's never with you
I'll write all the reasons I'm delighted
to see the way you brighten the feeling in a room
It's never too late to tell how you feel
acting out in love is more than words make real
I'm not afraid
to tell you I love you
til the sun rises in the west
I will be my best
Oh my heart
it's unbroken
resurrected by you
all because
I am open
to let your love come through
Oh our love
can be unspoken
because we know it's true
And I will
never be choking
on the love you feed me, love you feed me
outside it can feel so divided
but I can confide that it's never with you
I'll write all the reasons I'm delighted
to see the way you brighten the feeling in a room
It's never too late to tell how you feel
acting out in love is more than words make real
I'm not afraid
to tell you I love you
til the sun rises in the west
I will be my very best
just remember,
a cup of coffee is more valuable than falling in love,
and a memory of falling in love lasts longer than a memory of a cup of coffee,
fall in love with a cup of coffee.
He brought me 76 roses
One for each sunrise we’ve seen
The snow falling
Not in unique patterns
But awkward clumps
But I like them that way
They seem more real
And with him
I hoped everything was real
He brought me to an art gallery
Where we carefully took notes
And then shared our thoughts
On this painting and that
Joking at our intellectuality
And he bought me a poster
Of Dali’s Persistence of Memory
And an ebony frame
Which he helped me put up
Onto my wall
Above my bed
So I could see it each day
As the flowers bloomed
Outside
In August was the beach
Where we held hands
Perfectly sculpted for one another
And watched waves roll by
Not a word exchanged
No need for it
Our scents mixing
Into the smell I now call
Love
He took me on a picnic
In the middle of October
We sat under the stars
While the trees carefully
Cried tears of leaves
On us
Entwining us
Bonding us into one
Winter came once more
Lights dangling on front doors
And that night
He took me to a café
And we sat until 2am
Reading our novels
Though it was hard to concentrate
So instead we ordered
Cappuccinos
And talked the night away
About nothing and everything
While snow fell
Not in unique patterns
But awkward clumps
But I like them that way
They seem more real
And with him
I hoped everything was real
