I want to travel with you
Italy, Paris, Rome
Wherever we can go
I want to hold your hand
It wouldn’t matter if people stared
As far as I’m concerned we’re the only two to exist
I want to make you laugh
Your laughter is beautiful
I would give anything to be the culprit behind it
I want to hold you
Can’t we just lay in bed together for a day?
I would hold you until we’re old & grey
You have no idea how soft I am for you
How I want to spend my time making sure your life is filled with love
Every time the weather is bad for you, I want to make a pillow & blanket fort for you. We could lay in there together watching movies & just hide away from the storms
I wish I could tell you all of these things, but I can’t
I can’t project my feelings onto you because it just wouldn’t be fair
So I give you my heart in secret & hope that whomever gets to have your’s in turn cherishes it the way I do

I sit on the precipice of life
Staring into the vastness of space
My mouth is moving, but I’m only met with silence
I sit there on the edge
Only the stars to keep me company
A tear escapes and makes it’s way down my cheek
I’m fighting to get a sound out
This vacuum of empty space is deafening
My cheeks are stained, my dress drenched, the tears won’t stop
Why can’t you see?
Why won’t you hear?
I’m gasping for air, but there’s none to be found
In the end, we both know I’ll say I’m fine

Time for wine
To unwind
Rewind
Let the world fall behind
Keep the stress of the day at bay
While I let my words lay
Dim the lights
Give up the work without a fight
End this lyrical rhyme?
I might
-Me

They were beautiful they were. There was none who compare.
Eyes brown, lips soft & pink as a Spring grown rose, & skin that had been kissed by the Summer sun.
They were beautiful they were. My heart longed for them the way the waves yearn for the moon.
The softness of their voice. A voice that could tame any beast.
Oh how I loved their presence all the more.
The grandeur of their life was unattainable from the modest one I led. Though my heart only desired to be beside them, I’m afraid it was something I would never procure.
They were beautiful they were. A beauty I could not obtain.

It’s human nature to break down
Emotions can make you feel like you could drown
It’s ok to let them loose
Free yourself from their noose
Let them flow
Heaven knows you take a heavy blow
Each time a thought explodes
Your mind does not have to be your number one foe
Let them out
Let go of all that negative doubt
This is what being human is about
Do something that eases your mind
Take the time to rewind
Go for a walk
Take time to talk
Dance
Sing
Do anything
Just don’t let them consume you, fool you, or undo you

She unravels herself only for the sun
The only light she loves apart from her own
He drapes her in his color, shaping her form like no other can
Gentle touches, fleeting kisses, & breathy sighs, only he can give her what she needs
Even if it is only in passing
His light is the only light she loves
Apart from her own

Time wilts the flower
Ages the wine
It is both a blessing & a curse
It gives us the chance to be with those we love, but takes them away from us when it ends
With time we are granted two choices:
You can spend it wisely
or
you can waste it
One thing I know for sure is:
Time is rarely on our side

What are we, but a simple vessel?
A stopping place for something bigger than we could ever know.
You see the flesh and hear the sound of my heart, but do you feel the passion that burns within?
We live with borrowed time, time that slips away if one is not careful.
Will you stand out in the rain or let the snow fall upon your face?
Can you understand the maps of the stars or how the moon cannot live without the sun?
Do we truly understand what we are, when there are galaxies and worlds unexplored?
How complex is the human mind, when even the vast oceans are left un-examined?
When thinking of everything there is yet to understand, will we ever know what we are?

The day you stop letting your imagination have even an inkling of freedom, is the day you stop living and simply begin to exist.

Poetry and writing are more than just putting words to paper.
They flow from my heart.
My soul.
From deep within.
For me it's not just a passion, but my entire existence.
The greats that came before me, oh how they have been etched into every fiber of my being.
Their words, their works, & the movement they started for us all, it's the very reason I strive to express myself.
Words have become my master and I a willing slave to them.
They mold me.
They break me.
Yet they make me whole all at the same time.
I will never be able to convey how much words mean to me.
I hope to be able to move others with my work, just as my work has moved me.
