When God wanted to write poetry he made man, when he wanted to write good poetry he made woman, and a man and woman in love, that’s just poetry in motion.

They say only the devil walks in darkness.
But I pray daily in darkness...
And sin openly in the light!
What does that make me??

pages of someone else's creativity
bleeding highlighter
tabbed in pink

reading is not as simple as it seems

"was she your sun?"
"no, she was my moon
and if that meant
id have to disappear
for her light to shine
then thats ok"
so i took my stuff
and i walked away

have you not heard
the notes of falling petals
on calm ponds?

or the hush
of blooming buds
under the bright stars?

can you hear
the music of falling snow
in the morning light?

they are all so much louder
than the silence I hear
from You each night

Living is hard.
I understand that.
Living can be annoying.
I get that.
Living can be rough.
I know that.
Living can be a pain.
I understand that.
But life is so much more than that, please keep living.

When two poets love,
Words start to hang in the air
And lose their meaning.

.
You are the future
but already a ghost,
and I sit tapping a pen
waiting for you to come.

Invade my empty mind,
crowd it with wisdom
that can be flow written
across lines of emotions.

Just as an ear for poetry
harkens to a moving soul.


Pagan Paul © (15/01/20)

I’ve become so good at opposites
I smile, when I want to pour out everything in me
I dance, when I want to collapse into myself
I stay awake, when all I want to do is dream
I stay with you, when all I want to do is leave

Brighter than the stars in night,
Yet darker than the fright
Your smile is as breathtaking
as the aurora's of North side;

An empty canvas
I once was
Clear, pure and yet to be discovered
I desired the simple touch of paint
And envied the true essence of colour
But
When the day finally came
I wasn’t painted
Beautifully
Yet invaded
Brutally
By the darkest shade of misery.
