& for the first time in a long time My heart throbbed hard enough to break through the brackets which hold my lungs together In order to reach out to the warmth of your touch

First Time
& in that very moment You looked deeply into my soul & said "I will never leave you" A million moments later those words have faded into whispers Those exact words echo inside my head every night before I go to sleep I replay them over & over again as I enter a state of drowsiness Hoping to once again them clearly , in my dreams Because a million more moments will soon arrive & I am certain that those words will no longer be existent & I will be left with nothing but silence & a broken heart

moments
I would like to get to know you better I am intrigued by the abundance of beauty which your soul carries To you I may be a stranger, A face you have not yet grown to recognize But I would find comfort in drowning in oceans, Just to know your deepest secrets I would find comfort in being lost in distant cities, Just to be found by your eyes I usually have difficulties when it comes to writing about individuals I may not be close with But these words effortlessly flow out of me from a place so foreign to my timid heart You inspire amateur poets to write in such an exquisite manner, And it is all due to your perfected beauty.

Hi
I remember the night we were in Rosebank It was cold enough for my light skin to shiver It was cold enough for me to feel your warmth The world was rotating at a rapid rate Only the power of your beauty made it stand still The night which seemed to go on for forever Your hand in mine We possessed the secrets to eternal happiness The softness of your kiss Created a spark which left the whole planet in flames Slowly burning Leaving the whole universe in awe The sun Too timid to make a return The night which seemed to go on for forever To the rest This night will always be seen as an ordinary night To some This night will not have even happened But I constantly get flashbacks of this night, Especially when I ignorantly smoke a cigarette Trying to reignite the passion once felt Trying to set the planet aflame, once again But these memories are slowly killing me Piece by piece... Leaving ashes which mark the emotions of nostalgia The night which seemed to go on for forever

The night
what if the sun is too ashamed to rise in the morning? will the world then understand the darkness which circulates within my mind? maybe if gravity gave up on me then i would float freely among the skies, discovering the mystery which tomorrow holds in a bird's eye view because i spend most of my days skeptically trying to find comfort in the idea of being "okay"

okay
it is in the way she smiles that makes every part of me believe in the sunlight even though i have always been clouded by darkness even the angels are envious of her walk the way she flirts with gravity leaves nothing, but footprints which make the existence of a flawless soul i look into her brown eyes trying to understand her thoughts but words are could never explain the depth of her perfection as long as my heart beats she will always be the reason for its rhythm and i just hope these words are adequate to put a smile on her face because just the thought of her name brings a euphoric presence to me.

euphoria
i kept running from the thoughts constructed by her existence i kept running from the echoes of her voice which linger within these dark walls i kept running till i reached sunlight only to discover that the memories of her are attached to my soul the same way my shadow is attached to my feet

shadow
i stand outside the house the only thing keeping me warm is the view of the city lights for they remind me of how perfectly we are capable of shining individually but my deeper thoughts often recall how blissfully we were when your hand was within mine & how we would effortlessly outshine the moon when we were united

My desires are met by the sweetest taste of your kiss The sound of your voice brings about a heartbeat to my words Let my embrace wipe away the tears caused by your heartbreaking past Even the stars are envious of the beauty you possess, Their twinkle is nothing but a shameful attempt to imitate the perfection captured within your smile. Nothing compares to your love, The love which has been found to be more abundant than ocean waves I want to sink deeper Drowning in the bliss which can only be discovered in your brown eyes. No amount of pain compares to the feeling of not having you by my side So I bleed Knowing that your softest touch can heal the most broken soul. Time will try to separate us But it won’t matter, The immortality of our love will linger peacefully among the gardens of paradise.

Observing the imperfections of his life His destructive thoughts cause tornadoes which lead him to emotional turmoil His inadequacies are his heartbeat, A constant reminder as to why he will never be great His mind, Like the flow of a river Meanders through darkness, In the hopes of reaching the seas of inner peace. He enjoys the silence The silence which listens The silence which does not seek perfection, But originality The silence which does not crave understanding, But admiration The silence which for once, Desires his presence. As others fear to touch his skin As others fear to listen to the words he speaks, The words which dance in the wind Is he non-existent Or does he only exist in the reflection of his own?
