You kissed me
with someone else’s name
in your breath
holding me with hands
that were made of promises
you never intended to keep
thank you
for pretending to love me
while his soul
was still carved in your body

in the silence
between  your heartbeats
I can feel a dream
which  I can’t quite remember
it is like a story
I always wanted to write about
but never I was able
to cross the unforgiving sea

love isn't so much a force

love is the pain
the apathy
the hurt
and the weariness

that is healed when something comes around
to meet you where you are

build your mind with love
that so when you fall
into the black deeps;
love will be waiting.

D-aring was he to set foot on the land of
    the rising sun
A-rmed only with the dreams he revered
    once upon a time
R-are, charismatic, and sharp-witted are
    some of the words that best define this
Y-outhful dispositioned lad
L-ife may have been tough and weary but
    he
L-oses no battle, he will champion all odds.

J-ust like the uphill and rocky trails he
   wheeled on with
A-rdent hopes that cool breeze and scenic
    views await
N-ow he keeps pedaling for his heart
    adores the joy and freedom this brings
    him.
