There are words I dare not speak,
Truths I know to be.
Only real things are worth lying about.
How many more lovers will we lose?
Look at our makeshift bandaged souls.
Will we be too broken for each other then?
Bite down; be wise, be careful
Love as you should.
Let those ships sail away.
Dreamlord, take away my longing.

Summer wind brings laughter—
Shared with the lingering sweet taste of someone new, after.
Summer times bring leisure—
A breath of air, a sip of culture.
Summer sun brings life—
Drunk off ideals, tiptoeing around passion and strife.
Summer heat brings battles—
The same charade; the warm season heralds.

It was raining when we first touched;
The sweet innocence of tipsy impulse.
Nothing too close, too real, not to me.
It was dark as we shared our burdens and fears;
Whispered words stumbling out in desperate breaths.
Certainty found in uncertainties.
It was the first snow of the year that I saw falling as I lay in your arms;
The gentle drift of gravity.
Now it's all too close, all too real. To me.

From life, we learn many a valuable truth
That makes our existence one of worth
So growing old is no curse
As experience aids us steer life’s course
While life itself is a riddle
Remember, Death is an inexorable puzzle
Hatred burns life like fire
And wickedness turns it into mire
On Earth, forgiveness bonds hearts
But revenge, sure, breaks all bonds
Even a guilty falls prostrate
Before those willing to commiserate
Know, a true friend has no deceit
And a truly learned has no conceit
If jealousy is an acid which erodes
Generosity is a fuel that reloads
If inactivity is akin to death
Creativity is vital as breath
If perseverance conquers mountains
Laziness dries up fountains
While pride leads a man to his fall
Humility takes him closer to his goal
While Honesty leads him to salvation
Deceit drives him to damnation
Patience is an inexhaustible well
And ********** a sure road to hell
Know that those who long for the crown
Should also be torn by the thorn
While love of God takes us to eternity
Love of man leads us to fraternity
Ye Friends, with such priceless tips learned in bits
Light up your life in glowing glitz
Bury your past with all its woes
As each morn of hope brightly zooms!

The hours passed as we lay together.
Time burnt fast and bright for you and me;
Dawn crept up against our pleas.
Such familiarity in respectful ease.
Shared warmth within the shelter of a huddled cave;
Stolen glances, taken and saved.
A gift given, a gift stolen.
The rush stays the same;
Soft and sweet, a light touch fanned that flame.
"Love"?
The heart tries to hide (constantly);
The mind loves to lie (logically).

Unsettled,
Deep inside.
There isn't a place
To hide.
You can pretend.
Oh yes,
My friend.
**But the inky night
Brings fears to light.**

Invigorating;
like that breath of fresh air above the smog.
Comforting;
like that perfect pillow your neck needs at night.
Challenging;
like that last Sudoku box to fill.
Conflicting;
like two opposite poles of a magnet held together.
Wonder-filled;
like a child discovering the magic of candy.
Logical;
like the computing powers hidden in your head.
Fantastic;
like that mythical beast you find after giving up looking for.
Sudden;
like an avalanche disturbing a still Alpine noon.
Affectionate;
with the nurturing touch of a gardener.
Captivating;
like the song you can't get out of your head.
Brilliant;
like the flame burning bright amidst the grey.
Dangerous;
like the hope of a better way.

Tell me you want me,
But don't want to stay.
My love freshly broken,
In need of something more.
A new hope could save me,
A vision you've revealed.
Two halves of this exchange
Around a delicate question.
You showed me the power
Of two lives in sync.
A melody of minds in balance,
A stimulating song.
A could've been, should've been, might've been
All hurt more than a was.
Help me rid myself of this
Painful thing we call Hope.
If our paths will not cross again,
Please don't let them touch.

Young, yes.
But sadness doesn't care.
Sudden, yes.
But death has no heart.
The pain of loss.
Emotions cost.
A hole that can't be filled,
With no amount of iron will.
The burn of grief.
Death's doesn't wait for sleep.
A sudden parting of ways,
In such a short number of days.
Beloved, yes.
But sadness doesn't care.
Remembered, yes.
They live on in our hearts.
