In the grand scheme of life
You see me, a lost dreamer
Standing on the periphery and
Fantasizing at what might be
Genius it is to live someone else's life

Then I found him, in all his scars
He was a kind soul trapped in beauty
And I found him, oh how lovely it was
I never thought I'd be so lucky
In all my circumstances to be given
Such a beautiful man, such a warm heart

It is us, all of us, nothing but us
He shares his life with me, and I accept
If this should be true, I accept all
I will take his love in my palms,
Caress his purity and die right there
In a blanket of protection and serenity
All is not lost, just found in him.

*Days,
Infinite as ocean
I’m chasing
The same shadows of the sky
Only waiting
For death to ease my mind

Rain,
Will be coming in time
I hope to catch the very first drop
And I'll be dancing
With the sound of a thunder,
Let the joy pour through my eyes...

And those cold tears on my cheeks
Will be good signs
That peace is coming to mine.

She was wild like skinny dipping at midnight, stars watching overhead and falling in love with moonlight. The way it lay upon her skin made the ocean envious of her depths within and sometimes between us. She was my sister, not in blood but in orbit. A Venus to my Earth, forged from the same collapsing star and if the universe was in fact to be infinite then this moment would happen again, and again, and again an immeasurable number of times. I found comfort in this thought, knowing though our existence was meaningless, it was still full of feeling, and this feeling, right now, it insisted on existing forever.
I actually don't know,
If what I feel is* **valid.
Us poets,
We perforate the darkness within us
with the light of the Sun.
Soak ourselves in melancholy
like a worn out sponge
and call it inspiration.
Spite like a trail of gunpowder
lit with mad passion
and fulminate onto a piece of paper
tranfused from the nooks of our hearts,
white turns red
coarse in red,
red with lingering passion.

Into
Something digestible
for discening eyes
thoroughly wayward among wilted leaves
vagrant souls with their mouths
stitched because of
the dolour of misunderstanding
hissing with the wind in search
of something or someone
to relate to.

We make it seem like we're not so alone in this world.
A tribute to all of us poets out there. Letting the world know that they are not the only ones who feel a particular emotion. To us! :)
