I promised myself never to give in to love
Never to let it take me
Or wreck what I’ve built
Never to let it be a noose
Or a sharpened knife
But then I looked into your soul
Your beautiful, green eyes
Your soft, brown hair
And the tuft that sticks up from your head in the morning
The way your voice cracks when you’re passionate
The way your nose wrinkles when laugh  
Your fingertips brushing over my arm
Or your thumb caressing my hand absentmindedly
Your eyes meeting mine and forming a cosmic bond
Stars meeting stars and colliding
Exploding in the space between my lips and your teeth
Because the way your hands around me feel
The way it‘s like you’ll never let go
Is enough for me to break
Because I don’t know when I’ll see you again
I need your touch and my heart on your string
Face to face, skin to skin
It doesn’t matter what I promised, because suddenly,
You’re my everything.
If we should set the Earth on fire
And build our own funeral pyre
If we should melt the ice and snow
And drown the world
Where will we go?

A firebird on burning wing
The oceans deep no more to sing
The stars to never more be seen
Never more blue
Never more green

No more pandas
No more geckos
No more music
Only echoes
Never more a foal, a calf
Never more a smile, a laugh

There must be something we can do
It's up to me
It's up to you
For we who burn the Earth like churls
Can never buy another world
Every move in time and
each word spoken at any
moment has a purpose.
There is an invisible
bond that unites
everything,
you cannot touch me
without disturbing a star.
As long as you hug and
touch me with love,
you have touched heaven.
So many thoughts,
spoken and unspoken,
even unspeakable words
from the heart has
gone out into the universe,
indelible in it's form,
intriguing and profound,
untapped and captivating
yet eternally impressive.
Come to me with love
and the temple door of my
soul will be open to you.
For the key of entrance
within is only love.
Each one reaches one,
and have it's own unique
master key to open
the impregnable.
With unique combination of
impressive words the mouth
utters what lies within the heart
with such craftiness of an artist,
paint on the canvas of the heart
the words pleasing to the ears,
wove each words with such
impressive combination of others
to mesmerize and warm it's way
to the soul.
The heart unlocked in response
of the magic words uttered is now freed.

Why promise the stars and moon
You can't even give your time?
Why promise never to forget
You can't even remember a date?
Why promise to last forever
When it's hard to last even a day?

Don't make your love
Sound like so grand
When you can't offer
Your heart and mind

Why let us needlessly cling on
And in the end
Makes it harder for us to move on?
Why do most people make promises difficult or impossible to keep? *sigh*
I write notes on pieces of paper
Then tear them up
Tossed them into the air
Make it rain glitter
With determination to be different
Do they wonder
Do they feel
Do they ******
Do they steal
Do they whisper
Do they sing
Do they have eyes
Do they have wings

Are they golden
Are they grey
If they know us
Can they say
Would they understand our questions
Will the search be neverending?
Don't tell me I'm pretty
Tell me that I'm passionate
That I have drive
Tell me that I make you laugh
That I know how to make your day better
Don't tell me I seem nice
Tell me that I'm kind and compassionate
Tell me that I'm not afraid to dream and to dream big
Don't tell me I'm perfect
Tell me the you love me despite my flaws
That you want to spend the rest of your life with me
Don't tell me I'm beautiful
Tell me that you'll be faithful and forever true
