I've spent
the past week
trying to muster up
a piece of writing
that could even
come close
to expressing
my love for
you.

In those seven days,
I took a different approach.
I wrote
2 haikus
   with my hands
3 ballads
   with my lips
and
4 sonnets
    with my heart.

No,
my love may not
be poured into
a poem --
typed up
and posted here --
but  
it's there and
it's real and
it breathes.
For R, who's been begging me to write for her...
And hasn't realized that I have been.

Considering you a fallacy is a hollowness in my chest
a bent-out percussion instrument, it's quality won't be the best.

It would be appropriate that
Our first date alone together
Would be at a Beatles outing.
Meow meow I'm an excited kitten <3
And then the earth crumbled.
The pieces fell around us as gently as snow,
but were as hard hitting as the blow God had landed on our world.
You held me near you, so near in fact all I could feel was your warmth.
The world is collapsing, but all that is left is us.
As we lie on the ground we are buried alive with the ash of what once was.
What the world could have been, what we could have been
hardly matters when your fighting for you last breath.
I want to let the world take me away with it,
but you are pulling me like your life depends on my survival.
The world is a swirl of black and white,
and the debris of our memory is spiraling into space.
Life is over for us the instant you stop holding on.
You were the last thing binding this world together.
If I am going to die, I want it to be with you.
Help me make this better
I see you coming,
and time begins to stand still.
I will protect you.
Ugh. That Person you feel like you have to protect..
Everyone run!**
The Pirates are coming!
Run or be hanged like the Jolly Roger
This is kinda stupid. But Treasure Island is being preformed tomorrow for the first time!!!
As standing on an edge,
I fear the walk of wait.
I drifted towards a ledge,
to take me to my fate.
You once said I could fight all,
and measure could not stop.
I gave my trust so I would not fall,
and looked at you on top.

It wasn't long till misery danced,
Your promise I could not love.
My heart cried to leap and prance,
I cannot live beneath your ****** glove.
I feel we left behind our ties,
To seek another hand.
All you gave were broken lies,
No fall to break my land.

Forgive me now As I walk away,
Hearts can't hurt that sad.
I'll hold you with me for all days,
I'll find you soon to forgive all that's bad.
