We stay up all night
to find words that rhyme.
We scribble. We write,
losing track of time.
We stare into space,
deep in thought.
From a child's fairy-tale
to the wars fought.
We can't stay still.
Our fingers, they itch.
With no path to follow,
in dreams we are rich.
We dance and fly
but crash to the floor.
We laugh and cry
with our emotions galore.
Smiling while judging,
we scribble. We write.
From petty love stories
to the furious fights.
Over incomplete lines,
we again lose sleep.
Muttering new words
as we silently weep.
We see the world
the way no one would.
We break the rules
the way no one could.
A new day begins
with all new themes.
"Which one to choose?"
Our minds scream.
We scribble. We write
with bees in our bonnets.
From epic ballads
to the melancholic sonnets.
With passion in our blood,
and a calloused hand,
we are poets.
Together we stand.

Wake up my love, the road is waiting.
Prepare your bag, the sun is smiling.
Take you wheels, and set your things.
Get up now, the road is waiting.
Let’s travel and explore the world.
Those trees, beaches, lakes and falls.
I love to see how nature works
And listen to the stories of different folks.
Let’s play, run, sing and dance.
Let’s make each step full of love.
With you, I’ll stay on the line
On the road, there’s nothing to hide.
*Take pictures, buy souvenirs,
swim deeper,run faster,
eat more, jump higher,
move wider, laugh louder.
Let’s do crazy while I’m still holding.
Let’s go my love, the road is waiting.*

beware when you fall in love
with an artist
be it a painter, a singer, or poet
for the artist will
paint you
with strokes and hues
in shapes of every kind
sing about you
with heartbreak lyrics
and feelings which rhyme
write about you
with the simplest words
and a secret message she wants to say
beware of the artist,
and her love
one wrong move
and you're an artwork in her display

*In the land of love and hurt
Life holds no reason for what we gain
The love of hurt
The hurt of love
They come in a pair
So please beware
We hurt the ones we love
We love the ones we hurt
We execute our hurt for love
yet
Surrender our love for hurt
We try to sweep our hurt under the door
yet
We let our love fall between the cracks*

It's almost midnight
and I'm stuck here
laying on my bed that wraps me so tight
in warmth and comfort
I wish I could stay here forever
where it is safe
where it is soft
but I'd be lying if
I told you
I wouldn't leave my bed
for you
I told myself I had a crush on you
I lied
it was no longer a crush
it was a slight obsession
I told myself I would get over you
I lied
I fell for you
I can't get out of this hell hole
I told myself that I've lost hope
I lied
There was a piece of me
that could not let you go
I told myself you would
never fall for me
but I got a something from the
way you looked at me
I told you I didn't like you
I lied
Please look into my eyes
and see my pain of lying to you
Please just see me
Notice me
Find me
I finally told you in a letter
about my feelings for you
but by now
it would be a lie
because I've given up
to prevent the pain from
eating me alive for these pass months

You envelope me in your big, strong arms,
Coax me into staying in bed just one more day.
"You don't need to go to class," you tell me. So I don't.
I know that I should go,
That I should want to go,
But your grip is so tight that I can barely breathe.
You are the dominant one in this relationship.
I think I tried to fight it at first,
But this has been going on for so long that
Somewhere along the way I stopped trying.
I stopped fighting
And let you take me over.
Sometimes I don't know where you end and where I begin.
You and I are so intertwined.
I would love to experience life without you,
But I don't think I would know how to.
Unlike everyone else who has come and gone like the tide,
You've stuck around.
You're the only constant I've ever known.
I guess I should thank you for that.

Do I love you?
I can't tell you
Am I happy
I don't know
Will I stay with you forever?
That's a long time
I don't know
I'm the king of keeping secrets
I'm the best since time began
I'm lost here, and I'm searching
I am me, but, a new man
Love me for the man I am
Don't love the man I was
I don't know what that man was like
I don't know the man you lost
Love me as I am now
I won't remember anyway
Don't love the man I was before
Love the man I am today
I smile and remember
Thoughts and visions
mostly blurred
Words and place
not remembered
Memories shaken
but not stirred
I'm still here in this body
Don't know exactly who I am
Was I good when I did know me
Or am I better as I am
Don't tell me to remember
My memories are dust
What once was steel and solid
Has quickly died and turned to rust
I can't love you as I once did
Tomorrow I won't know your name
You may love me now, forever
But, do you love me quite the same
I'm the king of keeping secrets
I'm the one that you can tell
Nothing in here is remembered
In this empty, aging shell

Most kids blame themselves for
the divorce of their parents
I blame myself for
my parents not getting divorce
They weren't meant to be
They wanted me to not go through
the stress of living in two different households
every other weekend
but they weren't meant to be
Opposite can attract but sometimes
some things are just too different
I rather have the stress of a divorce than
the constant stress of picking a side
and seeing one disappointed parent
I blame myself
I'm the chain that ties
two ticking time bombs together
One day, I won't be home to be that chain anymore
and when that day comes
I will walk into a home I cannot recognize as home
but as an unforgettable war zone

I cough so many times throughout
the course of the week
I feel a 6-pack coming in
This physical pain I feel can't be worst than
the emotional pain
At least this little time with a cold
will distract me for a while from that
mental cold that never seemed to leave my mind
