dating a writer
is like guessing the weather.
you think you know what you'll get,
but you never do.

you never know
because

she'll create a hero
from your weaknesses

and she'll write a great character,
from every last flaw.

she'll create a thousand plots  
from your worst nightmares.

she'll take every last thing you hate
and create something you'll love.

she'll turn your anger
into confessions of adoration,

and she'll make you,
everything you're not.

but worst of all,
she'll leave you wondering-
is it you she's in love with,
or things she's created from you?

but here's the beauty of it:

if you date a writer,
you'll never die.
Everyday I search for
the brightest and shiniest star
on earth while walking home
her look can cure my deepest scar

Everyday I wish to
reach this blazing star
However I try
she is so near yet so far

Everyday I know
in few moments in time
she will be gone very far
left with shallow memories in eyes of mine

What if i can't be with you
in this life on earth
some says we become stars in future
I want to shine next to you by all my heart
Dedicated to someone whom i consider as a star, this star i see for a very tiny moment everyday.

I can see through your walls that you're hurting,
But I can't tell you I'm the reason you're breaking,
I'm sorry I put you in agony,
Putting you through tragedy,
Maybe some day when I see you again,
I would promise to explain,
Something you would never comprehend,
Or maybe we could just play pretend,
About how we were once in love,
Til next time when I see you from above.
I'm,
sorry

As I placed my hand
Upon your naked chest
The heat of your skin
Seeped into my fingers.

I had said, "You are so warm
And I am quite cold."
I quickly realized, no truer words
Have ever been spoken.

I wish your warmth
Could heal my soul
But I have been frozen
Far too long; I can't be saved.

I really love you,
Yes I do.
I'm not trying to get attention
Just something I wanna mention.
You're so amazing.
The one I've been waiting.
The one I'm falling for,
Someone I really adore.
I love everything about you,
Your care when I'm blue.
Your looks so spontaneous,
It's really contagious.
You're one of a kind,
So fine,
Hard to find,
Hope you could be mine.

The strange and unusual feeling you get,
When you see her, you won't get upset.
She makes your heart jet set,
The smile you would never forget.
The eyes that dazzles like the night sky,
The one that makes you feel shy,
Hoping your conversation goes on all night.
Never ending with a goodbye.
The voice that keeps you sane,
Puts your heart beat on the fast lane,
Ends all the suffering and pain.
The one that makes everyday not so plain.
The one that you'd give the world for,
Just because she's someone you really adore.
Never puts you in a bore,
Helps to ensure happiness in you restores.

However

Even though how much you love that girl,
You'll only be bothersome in her world,
You would only do more harm than good,
Her feelings you would've never understood,
It felt like it was fate,
You met your soulmate.
But she didn't
That was a fact that's imprint.
What's stopping you from all this.
Is how you make her ******.
You know she deserves better,
Someone to make her happier.
You know you can't fulfil that,
You're the reason's she's mad at.
Idkkkkkkkk
Please someone
Check my brain.
I can't feel pain,
Am I insane?

I try to fly through
The bad weather
But haters try to
Pluck my feathers.

I don't want to **** my dream,
I don't want to be a killer.
I am climbing to the level
Which is more than a sinner.
Am dining with the devil,
He's paying for the dinner.

I tried to sell my soul but
The devil couldn't afford it.
Fake friends never deliver
The goods,they abort it.
poem from my chapbook mama's boy
Mother may I?    
May you what?
May I reach the stars?
May I dream anew?
May I question life and also you?

May I  sleep in late?
May I drink the dew?
May I jump in puddles?
And muddy both me and you?    

May I be a superhero?
May I wear a cape?
May I use you stethoscope?
May I be like you and save a life today?

Yes, my sons.
You can do all.
And if it knocks you down,
Remember I'll be there to catch you if you fall.
