kiss me good morning,
kiss me goodnight,
kiss me till my last breath of life
kiss me hello
kiss me goodbye
kiss me till the angels cry
kiss me forever
kiss me now
kiss me till the light begins to drown
kiss me to heaven
kiss me to hell
kiss me till my heart begins to swell
kiss me to death
kiss me to life
you will always be in my heart so kiss me right
kiss me in the beginning
kiss me in the end
and this is where the poem has to end

I shouldn't let it bother me.
I'm starting to think
there's something wrong with my head.
I'd like to think everyone would tell me to let go.
I'd like to think I would if I knew how.
I still write you poems.
Not on paper of course,
I can't just leave them around your house anymore.
I found one in the corner of my ceiling last night.
It had something about the ocean and your skin.
I smiled.
I've forgotten the way you looked at me.
It's better this way.
It's exhausting;
knowing you still exist, figuring out if I still do too.
You understood,
that's more than I can say for anyone else.
Most days break me.
I stand up most of the time
and remember how you taught me that's okay.
I'm sorry I can't write anything better lately
Falling so passionately
into the sea of your love

My heart flying away
on the wings of a dove

Say my name once more
and I'll be forever yours.

Together,
we will open many new doors

Let me tell you this...for you need to know...

You're my one and true love
and I've known ages ago.

You're my dear....
so please...
always stay near.
"a poet in love is a match soaked in gasoline" (not my quote but i love it)
You are the man I want to live life with,

The man I want  to explore the world with.
The man I want to play around with like a child.

You are the man I want to explore life with,

The man I want to explore all possible emotions that we face as the hands rotate around the clock.
The man I want to explore inside and out.

You are the man I want to spend my time with,

The man who is my companion through all the seasons of my days.
The man I want to be wild and free with.

You are the man I want to be with,

The man whose motorbike I want to sit on with my hair let down, where I can see your face and kiss your cheek.
The man who I want to hold on to and tilt my head back with a cheer to the sky.

You are the man I want to be free with,

The man who I want to be on a secluded beach with, taking off my clothes for a skinny dip.
The man who I want to have playful arguments with, challenging one another with who has the best come back.

You are the one I want to say yes to.
The human body
Regenerates completely new skin cells
Approximately every
27 days
I say this knowing
That I am someone
Your hands have never gotten to know
My skin has mourned the loss of your touch
Grieved for the freckles that never got to know your warmth
No memorization of the path your fingertips took while
Tracing the lines of my skin
I am a whole new person
Since you've last held me
My body
Is not the only thing that has changed
Crazy how
So much can differ
From the last time
You knew me
But today
You don't
It only took 27 days for me to become someone else
I am someone else now
My limbs can attest to that
They no longer crave to be cradled by your arms
You do not know me
And it only took 27 days for me to realize
That I
Never really knew you
At all.

Devour

This feeling deep down inside.
Don't know what it is,
But it's eating me alive.

These monsters of the mind,
They make their victims cower.
You can run, but you can't hide,
Because from beneath you, they devour.

These demons of the soul
They're the thoughts that scare you most.
You can't even feel whole,
Because you're empty. You're a ghost.

But you don't know what are these things.
So you always wonder - "who?"
Are they evil creatures? Fiends?
The answer is simple.
It's you.

These fears of the heart,
They turn you into a coward.
Even when you run, you're back on the start.
Because from inside you... it devours.
How do you escape when you're a prisoner of your own mind?
