I am learning to adore
And not despise
That which came before me
I am starting to understand
That this is not my home
I am just a visitor
And visitors do not disrespect
Their host
I'm changing and idk how to feel about it
before her
fall in love with the feeling of
your own skin
marvel at the light hitting each contour of
yourself, inside and out
her name on your lips
cannot, will not mend you until
you learn to adore
the color of your own eyes
and the feeling of your own hands intertwined

Improper goodbyes
blank stares
And lies.

Hesitant hellos
Apathy
And foes.

A dark thought process
Anger
And stress.

Blue sky's fade to grey
Love dies
And decays.

But the sun shines anyway
And I'm doin' okay.
My Light! My Shine!
My Guiding Star!
You show me my path
as I journey to afar

My Torch! My Flame!
My Candle's light!
You guide me through shadows
In these cold windy nights

My Radiance! My Blaze!
My Lustrous Beam!
You hold me through sorrows
though hopeless it may seem

My Spark! My Fire!
My Vivid Glow!
Just stay in front of me
and to You I will go

A Tango
You’re like a coffee that sends a buzz
Exhilirating;
a kind of rush

As I take a sip,
I remember the time how you kept me awake
Oh, that steamy night with hot kisses…
Mmmmmm..
like this freshly brewed coffee I have in hand

All day I could savor
the aroma and flavor
I love how it taste
Just like how I tasted you


**But like a coffee stain, you leave a mark
You left a spot here in my heart

looking at the church under the nights eyes
hoping these simple prayers will suffice
searching for god through dark times

and i'm running out of rhymes
my brain is just filled with apologies
standing in the corner with my desperate pleas
it's just a simple yes or no
where do all my unanswered prayers go

Nox
You see me smile

and you think I'm happy.

But I haven't been in a while

and hopefully you can know it's you.

You think I'm no longer sane

but you shuld know

that my smile holds pain.
