If I told you I loved you today it would mean nothing tomorrow.

Blowing the dust off of old poems, some that were never finished because who wants to listen to love soaked poetry?

Wringing out my thoughts onto paper for someone to read them. Making sure they mean something so someone can feel them.

The world is made up of poetry. Some get the chance to hear it and some have the chance to write it.

Only the lucky ones can feel it. So drift away in my words and hold them tight.

Sit alone and read them at night. Fall into my words and land in my thoughts.

One thing is for sure, we all die. But our words and poetry have a chance to live on.

Okay so I must confess
I'm in love with you
You should know that by now
Don't ask me how it happened
Unless you want to be confused
                                                        ­My voice cannot
                                                         Communicate the beauty
                      But the thing is
                      It's trapped inside
                      Which ***** for me, but I think I can deal
I know I'm vulnerable
But I can make it through fire and ice,
You should know that by now
                                                           ­                  I know I'm secretive,
                                                                ­   No one knows anything about me
                                                              ­ You should know that by now
                                             Oh wait....
                   I'd love to talk to you
                           I know how you're struggling
                                   Seeing it is like seeing my heart die a little bit
                                            Which doesn't make sense
I don't even know you...
     But I'd like to.
                                                             ­  I'd give anything to be close to you
                                                             ­   You should know that by now
                                                     Right?
                  But just seeing you is enough
             I know you are smart
      An introvert under all that confetti
  Different from those Populars
I know when you look into my eyes you understand a little
I do too,
   But I think you should know that by now
                                                           ­   I have a plan
                                                            ­          I always do
                                                              ­You should know that by now, Love
                                  My plan is to ride fate
                                   I think.
                                          I should know this by now
                   I'm sure you're the only reason I'm here still
                         If you left this world
                            I couldn't make it
                                                 You should know that by now
If the world was a bucket of ***** marbles
          You would be one of those few interesting ones
                  With black painted over
                To conceal the little sun inside you
                         Like me
                            But you don't even try to be
                                                       So Perfect
Much too beautiful for the ***** who broke your heart
    You mourn her
   I wish you'd trust me
When I told you
It doesn't have to be like that
  I can make it stop hurting
     You should know that by now
                                                           ­   It hurts me not to
                                                              ­       Run into your arms every day
                                                             ­                 And never let you go
                                                              ­        Never let you hurt again
                                                           ­     Because I am so in love with you
                                                       You should know that by now.

~ Love,
       Triple

------
It means nothing because it is only a group of letters
                        It means something because a name names a real thing
            It means permanent because we don't name what will soon go away
It is the number 6
It is graphite on a plain white backdrop
It represents all my memories,
                           Every night I swim through
                                           Every day I face
It represents recollections of people
                        Whose names fill those memories
            Represented by their own names and their own sets of memories
People who are teaching me freedom and trust
Like when I let Polar Opposite have my heart
                       And KRD have my secrets
                                          To keep
It means I am a person of memories
                         But it is also whatever you dream of when you hear it

emotions scattered on a page;
manipulating letters to form
feelings.
in a world with so much to give,
all I could offer were words.

a beautiful soul like yours
deserves endless compassion.

love is honest.
love is kind.
love is patient.
love is everything I am not.

you've crept and crawled
into the deepest cavity
of my heart.
a baby bird nestled in
the comfort of their home.

words that flow like
freshwater down a stream
are all I could offer.
as I tried to be
the mama bird nestling
and caring, I realized I'd
only let you down.

many nights I lay awake,
with the trials and tribulations
fencing in my head.

you saw a beauty in me
I had lost sight of myself.
I saw a beauty in you
You never realized existed.

you are flawless.
a beautiful swan
resting and gliding
upon crystal clear water
that is life.

in every such way
you represent perfection.
a masterpiece discovered
by an unknown artist who is me.

you are fire;
sparks sparkling and
embers flashing.
mesmerizing every
gazer who glimpses.

you are marvelous and
you are radiant.

I am radiant
   So do not rationalize

                         I shine like stars
                           through brilliant bubbles
                        of light and love and patience
        
                   if you rationalize me
               I become just a weak light bulb,
            struggling to illuminate
                even the smallest empty room
                      on my own
