My Veil of Life
Is colored with LOVE

Everyone insists, but...
How can I remove YOUR LOVE
From my life's colors?

How can I face the world
That looks down on my LOVE?

How can I go back home
Who insults me for LOVING?

How can I look into the eyes
Of the world that
Humiliates my LOVING YOU?

The society calls
My life sinful
Just because I LOVE YOU

Yet for the first time
I feel blessed of being really "born"
Since our LOVE happened

Since OUR LOVE happened
I've forgotten everything about
Life, living and work

Since OUR LOVE happened
I've forgotten the vows and
Promises I took to earn
Success, status & wealth

My eyes are set on my BELOVEDz
Now how the world expects me to
Toe the line of their
Rules, laws and traditions?

Today I say this to the world:

Life is sinful without LOVE
This life has only taught me
Illusion and delusion of living

It is YOUR LOVE...
That freed me up from fear
That taught me to REBEL
Against the cruel enslaving world
Against my own self - EGO "I"

In our LOVE, we stand together
In our LOVE, we stand tall
In our LOVE, we got a spine
In our LOVE, we self-introspect
Within each other's SOUL

Our veils of Life
Is colored with OUR LOVE

Let us splash our life
With RAINBOW colors of Our LOVE

Never say things
to people you might regret,
because it may be
the last thing you ever say to them.

dear happiness,
please stay with me.

used to think you were out of my reach-
been feeling lately like I just couldn’t see.
used to think you were illusive; an impalpable, unattainable dream-
forged by most, and truly felt only by a few elite.

now, you’re here, revealing that you were always hiding beneath.
into the depths of the ocean, I explored to bring you back from the dark, daunting sea.

so I beg of you now, please don’t flee.
I will cherish each moment that you choose to spend with me;
thank you for finally setting me free.

Don't judge
Lest you be judged
Especially because of feelings felt
If anything you must
Judge due to the inability to feel
To empathize with the burden of others
To feel such crushing weight
Until you can see the shadow of beneath
Try painting pictures not of them
But of yourself
Matthew knows!

Mystical morning mist
Interrupting our Kiss
Sunshine on a horizon
Tumbling over waves

With an open hand I greet your ghost
Set flowers by the curb aside
And reach as I never reached in life
Without regret or doubting eyes
I see you still
Afraid to move away
From the dimming hallway light inside
You are my favorite ghost by far
Just as you were
Once alive
"What hurts the most is sleeping with your ghost" isn't entirely accurate here. I guess sometimes a ghost can be more fondly regarded, due to memories, etc.

As
a sign
Sometimes
it all goes right
The stars don't align
but I feel them nonetheless
And for a moment life's duress is but a memory
To me, as I live and burn in this present candlelight
Though sometimes the evening is even darker than the night
And I crash into the atmosphere of a more realistic Me
Like a lonely poet who never shares his paint
Like a bygone song no instrument will play
And in burning I retreat
to the halls of sleep
Sometimes
I am far
away

(Even though it seemed to be the perfect day)
And sometimes I sleep just to escape myself. Yes me, who seems to have it all together. (;

Simply put - All Perfect Days End (sometimes in sadness)

I crave an old school love. The kind where reciprocated effort is displayed effortlessly. A mutual respect that doesn't need questioning. Trust in the fact that no matter what life disrupts, compassion will not be one of them. The days can get complicated, but an authentic love has the potential of pure ease.
I have no desire to settle or entertain the idea of a temporary fix for affection. I am too busy falling inlove with the girl I am becoming, the best version of myself. Independence is one hell of a drug. And I am happy with the "right now."
