For me it's quite simple
Love and Adventure
Laughing and Caring
Being together
It's really just that simple
Old stuff is good stuff
Would rather spend money
On going on roadtrip's
Spending time together
I need to feel alive & desired
I give so much &
I don't need much
Its that simple
It's the time we have
It's all we get
So why not enjoy it
Make the most of the moments
Appreciate what we got
It's really just that simple

I’m in paradise.
The sea is aquamarine, a beautiful blue.
The sky is clear, not a cloud in sight.
Birds chirping to a melody, they form a choir.
And yet,
I can’t seem to relax.
I can’t seem to enjoy myself.
I can’t seem to stop myself from crying.
Perhaps if the sea were murky and dark,
If the sky was cotton-filled,
If the birds were in dissonance,
I wouldn’t feel so guilty.
Is this Summertime Sadness ?
You are not afraid, Your cautious

You are not angry, Your overwhelmed

You are not sad, Your disappointed

You are not ( always) happy, Your stressed

You are not, ALONE
It feels like my heart

Doesn't have much room to feel

That much of anything

Other than fear.
Coward
I am an atheist.
A spiritualist.
A confused child.  

I was raised on
“God does not exist.”

Still, I find peace in
Comets and cosmos and creation.

I am unsure
And
Unsteady in my faith.

Yet every time
A child asks me
What thunder is,
I repeat the saying
I always heard.

“God is bowling.”

It wasn’t the goodbye
That sent me off track,
It was the fact I waited for so long
And you didn’t come back.
