The way tough butter melts on
a warm sizzling pan
-has nothing
on the tender warmth of
my solid heart after
her soft lips curl across her
beautiful face.
How is it, my love
that you make
my heart melt
and my mind go blank
as if miles don't exist,
and time could never catch us,
I can not wait to be next to you,
and watch your lips
as you watch me sizzle and
drain away into the pulsing cracks
of your heart
where I hope no matter how
hard you try
you can not
scrape
away the remanence of my
love
and my
soft tender words.

1. You need to shut down your brain;
find the switch and press it.
Once you’re alone with your thoughts,
they’ll whisper things to you and
drag you deeper into the darkness.
Don’t let them.
2. Stop waiting;
stop waiting for that person to text you—
text them if you really want to talk;
stop waiting for the bus—
take the day off, walk, breathe in the air,
and just remember you’re alive;
stop living the same day over and over—
change something,
find what you’re yearning for.
3. Get drunk;
do and say everything you
never had the courage to do.
Kiss a boy, kiss a girl,
break into an abandoned swimming pool,
skinny dip, or tell someone what’s hurting you.
If you regret it later,
pin the blame on the poor *****
4. Watch the sun set and the sun rise;
let it teach you that if a blazing
sphere of gas can fall and rise again,
so can you.
5. Ask people what they think;
it doesn’t matter what the subject is—
just ask.
You’ll begin to see everything in different ways.
6. Sadness can be inspiring;
write about it. Write a poem, a song, a story.
Create a character loosely based on the pain you feel.
It’s relieving to take your suffering and put it onto a screen.
7. Little things can be amazing;
buy yourself your favourite food,
stop and admire the flowers,
watch the unspoken love between a dog and their owner,
be happy that your skin looks good today,
or be excited to wear your new shoes.
8. People are also amazing;
spend time with them.
Talking online or texting is fine,
but go see someone,
too.
Spend time with your friends,
tell them about your day and listen to theirs.
Hug and hold hands. Comfort is bliss.
Go to a party and talk to a stranger—
listen to their stories.
People can do the most incredible things.
Laugh with people and love with people—
just be around people.
9. Allow yourself to be free;
clear your schedule and don’t worry
about the mediocrities of life.
If something is bothering you then get rid of it.
If someone is making you upset,
erase them from your life.
You don’t have to surround yourself with anything
that doesn’t make you happy.
10. When your sadness creeps up to you,
know its okay to feel like this;
you’re not the first to experience this,
and you won’t be the last.
You’re like the sun—
you can fall and rise again.

Turn me over like your favourite novel.
Run your fingers along my spine.
Bite your lip at your favourite parts
Then read between my lines.

The color of the Enticing green water
reminds me of the
depth
you find in her eyes
like the voiceless wind of the pond
somehow found a way to whisper your name
like i never could.
and I look at the lifeless grass below my feet
the suns beams have suffocated
meaningless footsteps have brought this once vivacious miracle
to a perished color
and i am reminded of my eyes.
the mystery of the wind lures you in
while my once ripe heart begins to fade away.

My throat burns with words I can not say
Songs I can not sing
Poems I can not write
Stuck between chaos and love
I can not begin to spit them out
With every breath I take
I can hear them heaving up
Creeping into my language
But I swallow them down roughly
They taste of your amorous eyes
Staring at me In the dark
My poetic heart
Only tears us further
So I silently hide my grief
And while my throat tingles with
Words unsaid
I watch your smile grow
