These legs are built for running
And these eyes are not to see,
And the heart has tendencies,
We run away and never keep.

As it all strives hard to evade,
Away from everyone at all cost;
Making a spectrum of a distance,
Running away but never lost.

And every step is a journey,
it touched hearts I say indeed,
But everytime it moved forward,
It steps on an ego that pleads.

For this heart can never be a home
To bear fruits of your likeness,
Nor to endure a pattern of pain,
It shall forever remain free.

And these feet will remain running
From all the debris of the past,
Leaving a trail of unsurpassed legacy
In an alien like cemented cast.

And these eyes are focused every time,
As if it never was,
Dilating at occasional times
But never losing grasp.

There are eyes that see across
And there are ones who see the good,
But I'm not one to see,
The world's cruel and rude.

As the eyes, feet and heart
Will never be tamed and stationed,
Pointed at a target
Passion is the king.

And I will keep on running away my dear,
And you keep on being at my side;
I guess that's the way it goes,
And there are eyes that are just blind.
Hello there,
Its been a while.
Did you miss me?..
Of course you did,
We're old friends after all.

I'll admit,
I'm a bit disappointed.
You tried to ignore me for a while,
Tried to shut me out.

Did you forget so easily?
You need me to survive, remember?
I am part of you,
I always have been.

May as well face it,
You’re stuck with me.
Just let me take control...
It’ll be easier that way.

I promise I won't hurt you.
I'll be gentle.
After a while,
You might forget that I'm even there.

I'll reintroduce myself,
Since it's been a while.
Hello there,
My name is Mr. Anxiety.

And I missed you, oh so dearly.
Because everyone knows this old friend..

stuck in the middle
fading from one shade
to the next
somehow frozen
halfway between
two extremes
phasing in and out
off and on
there
here
photographs
layered on a lightbox
a cat in a box
dead and alive
either
neither
both
in between
I want the sparks again
The sparks of the road
My real home
I go to bed with adventure
Freedom
My bliss
Amorous traveler I am
Lover of experience and romance
Honorable among the stars
My heart is strong, pure and playful
I throw my arms around exciting moments
And after awhile
Let them slip away like lovers after a dance
Only to continue dancing myself
To my own music
Filled with passion
And love-dreaming
she was yellow
she was filled with sunflowers and sunshine
she slowly started to manifest into a faded orange
she was fall, she was a tasty bitter orange
she then sprouted a color of blue
she was the ocean , she was the sky, she was sapphire
over night she became grey
she was the moon , she was the clouds on a rainy day

she was yellow
now
*she is grey
Sometimes as days go by so fast
We take time to dwell on the past
Hazy pictures and memories of laughs
Moments in time we'll never get back

Tell me your stories like we first met
Tell me again so I won't forget
Soon I will but not just yet
Soon, I can use them when you're upset

We fight for the times we think were best
When we were younger and needed no rest
When all was ahead, no sins to confess
Heads full of dreams and love in our chest

Somewhere along these perpetual years
We learn to accept that time disappears
Pictures are best kept stained with our tears
What lies ahead will be better than here
