Being an introvert is kind of rough,
You see, cause I believe in finding love.
A sight to see... but I'm blind to luck.
Cause in the end, inside I'm stuck.

Today is a new day although the memory of yesterday remains in my bones.
I only see whats to come yet I'm constantly aware and present inside my head.

In school they taught it like a lineage. A linear point separated by time.
Past present and future.

So how is it that these three realities are here, are now, working together to form my perception?

They say "actions speak louder then words" that we are defined by what we do.
I say we are defined by the fact we keep in mind each one of you.
Please stay in tune.

She will sow a curtain that's engaged in flames,
And As you falter the courage you say no pain no gain.
So refrain your shame for certain you will tame this fane,
But beware below this burden is a maze inlayed.

Keep it simple. Keep it clean
Leave a riddle that speaks of kings
Speak a little to feed their needs
and watch these kids bleed the weak.

Dear Poem,

    We talk everyday, you know me by many names. But we are beyond names. You know me as a person. You understand me and when I am in need of guidance you are  quick to point out my flaws and lead me back to the straight and narrow. You never let me forget. Sometimes I may have turned a blind eye to you for this simple fact but in the end I realize the importance of remembering.

     You are intelligent, you grow with me. But always a few steps ahead. You drive me farther with every dialogue that's shared between us. As if to coach me along in life and say, "life is not a box of chocolates but the bond that the box of chocolates represents" you say things that bring revelations that change my life. I love hurt feel pain and happiness everyday and you are there to take in all the pressures I have built up.

     I have no doubt that the pen in my hand and the paper beneath my palm is only the effect, caused by our interaction. It's this interaction that I am eternally grateful for. And for as long as you are there for me, I will be there for you. And you will not fade away.

      With love,
      Me.

She came and went with news of new...
Fleeting, she flew the coop for views anew.
A bird of freedom to choose her groom,
But she lost her fruit and resumed her move.

He stood there heartbroken and devastated,
Only to witness the Stars broken and left with hatred.
Every breath he wasted became a scar atoned by a senseless fragrance...
A bar that's cold and blessed with dankness.

But she came and went with news of new...
She loved his soul but knew they'd lose at twos.
She moved his moods but she's glued to new.
A bird of prey, she resumed her move.

She comes and goes with news of new.
