Blossoms are the
Hopes and dreams
Attached to the thorny
Stems of life
We all have to climb
To smell the roses

You can hear silence, if you listen.
        Stop your breathe and tap
          into the empty.

Oh chalice of hope, too often
        left unfilled, drain
          the resistance.

Lie back, close the thoughts
        and open your eyes.
Believing does not
        require seeing.

Allow sentence after sentence
        to remain unanswered.
Be unrestricted enough
        to not be alarmed.

Fountain of ice, melt away
        and liquefy into sharp
          pencils of vision.

Sighing in peace, letting
        the lace curtains of
          contentment to rise.

Skin to be stroked
        with the developing
        essence of being
        in contemplative mode.

You can hear silence, if you listen.
        Listen now.

Words collided,
My skull spinning with
the repercussions of
words said,
love lost,
bones broken,

and right at the point
where my knees hit the floor
all i could see were
fireflies, dancing in the ashes
rising up to join
the stars.

My arms, they want so bad to hold you
My lips, so badly want to kiss yours
My mind, it’s going insane without you
My heart, it keeps begging for more
You have my heart, not even aware of it
I’m so in love with you, there’s no denying it

Since the very first day, I knew there was something
I couldn’t put my finger on it, you’re so amazing
Keeping me caught up in you, wanting you like I do
I can’t help feeling this way, but I’m so in love with you
You make me feel good, make me feel something amazing
If you could look inside me, and see how much it’s changing

I would never give up on you, never cheat, never lie
I would treat you so good, just give me a chance to try
All I want, is someone to love and spend my life with
You’re the one I want, and to make memories with
Please don’t be mad, please understand all of this
I never meant to come on so strong, but I can’t fight this

Holding you in my arms, loving you like no other
Please understand, I’m a caring and passionate lover
I would never hurt you, never walk out on you
My heart is too fragile, I’d forever be faithful to you
Just give me a chance, to show you what you mean to me
You’ll never regret it, and would make my life complete

The night sky is so alluring
There is a subtle attraction
Stars hold our gaze tonight
As lovers hearts come closer
Fine strings from the moon
And the shimmering veil
Decorate the landscape
Waves of silver light
Resonates with hearts upheaval
Night’s bring out the beauty
With closed eyes, we see the universe
Love stops at this confluence
Hearts slowly drowning in love

Find coastlines along the edges of your body,
mark your territory
and invite gallant young men to try their hand
at crossing a huge wall made of crystal glass
and steel verses.

Let them be afraid of the tombstones gathered
at the gates; tremble at their own risk
because your heart can't handle an unsteady hand:
it's filled to the brim.
And as the tourney dies down,
as the men scratch the surface
and leave with pieces of your arms,
your eyelashes, your cheeks,
there will be one
who is there when the dust settles.

Allow him to love you,
in a most consuming way; let him
take your body a shrine and let him
call it his only home.

Finally,
break his heart,
and watch as the poetry
spills out of you like
an angry river, from a spear
he wishes he'd hit into your chest
not cupid's arrow instead.
