DOWN by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white
feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the
tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not
agree.
In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white
hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

its funny how artistic
we become when our
hearts are broken


What LOVE teaches

LOVE teaches
To hold on & let go
At the same time
Happily destroying oneself

LOVE teaches
To love from afar
Waiting for magic to happen
Desiring always to make YOU happy

LOVE teaches
Pouring out one's heart
And sipping one's blood
Drain out of one's wrists

LOVE teaches: dreamz
Day-dreamz
Smiling without reason
Imagining holding your hand
Walking side by side
Hugging YOU tightly for hours

LOVE teaches
Wander Lust
Gypsy soul
That can escape any moment
To be with YOU anytime

LOVE teaches: ART, poetry
I can write 1000 times more
I struggle to put into words
All things that I feel inside

Little things YOU do
Is just plain MAGIC

LOVE teaches: To cry
A million tears
Soaked pillows
Wet bedsheets
To appreciate a
Shiny trickle tear
Down one's cheek
And not getting used
To letting YOU GO
From one's soul
Let the wait be
A thousand years

LOVE teaches:
To poise, ponder
Listen to music
Read lyrics carefully
Read lots of good books
Dancing, a sway in walk
All because of YOU

LOVE teaches:
I care for people
I listen better
I stop and help others
I'm more compassionate

LOVE teaches: Hope
A chance to be LOVED
To soar and fly
To catch the golden cloud
Where YOU reside

LOVE teaches:
Dying in your wait
Hoping you'll come
And pick me up
Take me home with YOU

LOVE teaches
Treasured moments
Of togetherness
Remembering every little thing
You did, said, thought,
Been... with me
Together

LOVE teaches:
To cherish YOU
In utter melancholy
To respect YOU

Good, it was YOU
And you only...

LOVE teaches:
Happiness to smile
Thanking GOD
For the worth YOU gave me
To LOVE YOU in this life

LOVE teaches
YOU'll LOVE someone
Who LOVES YOU
Like I do...



A beautiful mind like no other I've known,
Intelligence, passion and vulnerability are shown,
Deep fears and desires haunt her through the night,
Her words speak to me, filling my darkness with light.

I wish I could express to her the way I feel,
Though I doubt she would even believe it's real,
Regrettably my crush barely knows of my existence,
All I can do is admire her from a distance.
Our deaths will be
transformed into
driftwood washed up
on terra incognita
and gathered
for firewood by
savages who cannot
imagine what we were
but will enjoy the
anonymous warmth
we have gifted them.

After being discharged,
he installed a stone lion
in his heart to ward off evil;
sadly, it scared off good, too.
