When the giant sleeps
he lays dormant, never to be heard.

He sleeps like a baby but breaths like a lion through the caves as it echoes.
But to the surprise of those glaring,
waiting for a beast to emerge from
this,
never seen reputation he has built.

'Tis only the gentle touch of his hand
that gave him his second reputation.

A soft one, a push over - but ha, I laugh in the face of unlaughable emotions, kind notions and love potions.

But that's just not me is it...?

I said to the wall in front of me
I needed to pass but,
to my amazement,
I could never even see,
a wall, a mere
mirage to the retinas deception.

But I question why I ever mention,
my thoughts and perceptions
like the worlds in one convention.

Despite being mouth to horse -
I always got stared at,
trampled down and taken for.

Ironically I'd say for granted,
but I'm left stranded, demanded around then commanded - like this sleeve hadn't already,
seen the washing powder one too many times.

All the lost faded faces I left on my brain,
all the sleepless nights,
I thought my help could turn me insane,
But as the day repeats,
I'm thinking... "Not this Again"
Not another sleepless night,
Just waiting the next day.

But at least I know
before I take my final breath,
It was all just a test,
until death,
And I don't live a day,
with a shard of regret.
A poem about me personally. Always getting called a push over or soft, because I live my life as "that guy" wishing everyone a good day and making sure I put a smile on others before myself. I recently sat and assessed people around me, who was bringing me down, who used me, and I cut loose ends. For once I was selfish - yet I still help them despite breaking. Even if I hate - I give kindness. I live with no regrets, and despite my pain I always wear a smile! Live to the fullest, love, laugh and share dreams, that could never be written even in your mind. Enjoy the read!
Once our lips collided
The ground beneath shook,
Unmeasurable richter scales
Never mind the after shock.

Tension gripped between our fingertips
As our hands clamped tightly shut
The vice grip pulled us closer in,
Pushing us up against one another,
As our hearts beat in one dreamy rythm.

Looking into each other's lost eyes
We looked down at each other's lips,
Seeing the moist on hers I licked my own,
But she caught my tongue on the way back.

Silks shed, losing strings between delicate
Sewing - still sharing our words through touch,
We both inhale sharply as we meet our passion
To fall in between the lights from the moon outside.

I look back over
all of our time together,
I see the smiles,
the tears and the laughs.
everything that’s in between
is also special to our past.
The things I’ve wanted to forget,
the things that make my heart skip,
they all mix together
and give me more reasons to love you.

My cozy sofa
Even as my imprint now
We are best of friends
Lazy morning :)
To afraid to close my eyes,
To afraid to sleep
To afraid to let my memories in
I'm afraid I'll get too deep

I don't know who i am
I don't know who you are
But can you save me before i go too far?
Far from safety far to far
I just want to rise up and express my heart
Of all the messages,
In all the bottles out at sea,
I’m glad, this one
Found its way to me.

Bonds of blood,
May be a bane or a boon.
Bonds of money n’ comfort,
May break too soon.

But bonds of love,
For the written, unspoken word,
Are whispers from the cosmos,
That lonely spirits heard.

We don’t know each other.
Just strangers in the crowd.
Few take that first step.
So, thanks for reaching out.

If it’s meant to be,
We’ll meet some day.
Maybe we already have.
Who can really say.

Even if we never did, never do,
Let’s not become a lost memory.
I hope, you’ll keep sharing,
Your beautiful gift with me.

I do have some friends,
But not many have what you do.
You’ve already helped more than some
To give credit where it’s due.

So I’ve made my decision.
This is what I say to you:
I see your friend request, and,
I’d like to be your friend too.
The initial inspiration for this was this cute little poem: https://hellopoetry.com/poem/2141137/to-you But then it found a life of its own in a more general context. You can change para 3 and it still works for many "friend requests".
i feel like a man in a bubble
floating in the ocean
crashing and rolling
bouncing and hoping
that i find solid ground
scream so loud but it blocks all sound
I'm just a man in a bubble hoping to be found.
I woke up to the sound of the sun
When it rose it rose like the sound of a gun
The Particals of light from the rays they come
Illuminate the path i must not stray from.
The riddles i think are the riddles of life
When lost in the dark it can bring forth so much light
Today i woke to the sound of the sun
and learned each one of us is an infinite one.
I have this song in my heart
Thats so perfectly clear
But when I try to do it
Its so painfully never near
It brings forth emotions
And removes all my fears.

it tells a different story
with Every kick of a drum
The song of my soul
That echos in my heart
The only thing keeping it from falling apart
Also brings forth happiness
That hits like a spark
Turns all too light that was once shrouded in dark
Feels like im on a cloud everywhere I walk
Always with a laugh or a smile
I'll just let the music talk.
