If i was a plane I would fly across your skies just enough so one day you look up at the clouds and see me and dream If i was a bird I sit at a tree and watch you walk back and forth, not rest at your shoulder because you may swat me away, I'll be too close If i was a magician I'll trust you with my secrets and know you still believe in magic If i was your lover...wait to real. If i was an option I'll love you till you can't reply

Stuck between staring at my own reflection or looking in to your eyes Behins mine youll see a doubtful man, a lover and sensual soul with flaws and cracks that are kept together by only rusted nails and thim lines. I hope to find clarity in you, an incentive to be better, may be behind your eyes lays God But what if your eyes never focus on me? What if I find the same things that kept me in this bed alone? A reality I rather feel sooner than later Dreams Im not sure I want to bloom true And now I'm back to being stuck between my reflection and you

Reflection
First time I saw you You were sprinting into the wind And I laid back on the grass Under the sun, lost in mind Why was it so hard for me to say the truth? That I chose a girl that lived closer and another because she opened her mouth and legs and heart to me Sorry I rather give you a poem you may not care for Than money to drink and eat though I have no regrets in providing This life has turned my heart into stone Unsure if youre the angel I believe you are or If another man has you in his bed when I left room for you in my own Nervous if your sweet text are sarcastic words you show to your pretty friends and they laugh at the joy of being women Understand Love has broken me and I put myself together into a man my mother cannot even recognize I feel so distant from the seventeen year old athlete you first met and felt attraction for That placed his heart on the track to keep it away from home Who tired his body so he can sleep through the chaos outside his bedroom door Now, rocking from side to side as I eat, trying to find balance in my body and in my desire for your hand in marriage A salty sailor with unpublished dreams and a desire to make average to a little above salary, almost mid twenty without a car Im afraid you want that lost athlete and not the chain smoking sailor though we wear the same face and love you more than anything this world can offer After taps, during watch, out in the rippling sea, surronded by stars from east to west, I think of you and how beautiful we can be but for the rest of the day I try to find peace that what we speak maybe fantasy

Why are you the only one that can make me laugh? I call on to you when my vision is blurry and my heart is placed in the wrong hands. I'm soaking up the California sun, alone with my feet in the sand, laying under a palm tree wishing I was back in the deadly cold, can't feel my face and bones, looking at Chicago's skyline with you.

Sleep in Cali, dreaming of Chicago
It's been three years since the last time Now you have long braids that touches The perfect curve of your back and sometimes I imagine that God used his sharpest tool when he made you The biggest mystery is that you understand me, and I you, our spirits or our past lives are somehow connected. Past loves that were sweer never measured, made love with them then thought about calling you That nose ring and the gold on the sweet blackberries of your chest makes you royalty. but why do I see you beside me in my dreams? Forget it, let's just enjoy this new years eve

New years eve
The sun on my wrist Tells me time is for consideration you can chop it up, display it Be here, be there, till it matters When my Movado shines in her eyes like a dream Does she care about the time? Or the gold and sliver around it

Time
I gave you a ruby for your eyes And diamonds to brush against your skin I had the people bow down to you They fed you roses, showered you with respect, And prayed for your health before going to sleep But I can only shown you the throne In your mind and heart must you sit and share this wealth. In my mind you left nothing but dust And dirt in which I cannot grow from In my mind I can only hold your memory And the promises that sounded so sweet to my ears But was only vibrations in reality As king I cannot promise you that my walls will never crumble. That my armour is made of gold And that thyself is just as pure i asked of you to feel the rhythm of your heart but all you could feel was the shine from my movado.

Movado
Our eyes were lost within ourselves And there were no thoughts of what was to be gained But just memories of civilian liberty in a silent room With our heads shaven and our mouths full Rediscovering ourselves with each batted eye We sat and chewed and stared deeper into space we sat against sanitized walls And talked of someone that seemed so familiar And under red lights we wrote to those who Controlled our minds and dreams. feel the sponge scrubbing our brains And as we held our tired eyes and stared into space We wondered what it meant to be sane.

Space camp
She's whispering history in my ear I think it's meant to inspire To reveal light or To make me succumb with fear I never listen to history talkers I assume they are all liars Because their are the only voice In the room Ill give their words my heart It's been kicked, stabbed, dosed With a fifth of kerosene and lit By the flame of a fresh match Torn, beat, spat on, shattered And built back up again Yes They can do whatever they desire to my heart It's seen, heard, and felt it all before But they will never recognize my mind My mind will never falter

Mind over everything
Freely Sunbathing next To you on a ship whose sole Purpose is to destroy the world. Oh Well.
