I don’t need you’re love
Lie to me
If u must

Tell me you won’t leave
I’m a child reaching for something unobtainable
You the unobtainable object

Way out of reach
I will never be tall enough or strong enough to reach you
But I’ll never stop

I’m young and stupid
Naive
And in love

My love is yours
Take it
Break it
Or keep it
It doesn’t matter

I’m a child
But so are you
So let’s be children
In love

Paradise on the ground
Stars exploding
That’s how I wish to live my youth.
Filled with love
So heartbreakingly tragic and beautiful.
My youth belongs to you and me
A strange bedtime story
To tell my children full of chaotic beauty .
A story to explain my youth.

I am the dreamer
And you my unattainable dream
But that’s ok
For I see you and me
In my dreams
For I am after all a dreamer
And you
My fading dream

Things are better
This way
Apart
Separate
But don’t you wonder ?
If things could have been better
If we were more
Together even

But it’s better this way
Apart
Separate
Lonely

Read me poetry
Under the sunset
Fill my head with beautiful metaphors
hold me
Capture me the way u capture people with your words
Love me
The way poetry loves nature
From afar and in awe
Read to me

Life
Such an ineffable concept
Long yet short
Beautiful yet heartbreaking
Although we live short lives
We live long in the minds of men ( and women )
So in actual thought perhaps it’s is not such an ineffable concept
Life
Perhaps we are not immortal in body
But we are immortal in soul
And that in itself is to live
Dedicated to two very special if not crazy men .

I must leave now
I must See the wild
I must fall in love
And lose it all
I must do what great poets do
I must live
