What if?

What if your soulmate was living on the other side of the world?
Singing songs in little venues
About girls nobody else knows.

What if your soulmate was sitting in a coffee shop 30,000 miles away?
Writing words into that old journal
About guys she's too shy to talk to.

What if your soulmate walked right by you, in a sea of people on a busy street?
Running for a bus to take to his mothers
Eyes never meeting.

But what if your soulmate met you.
And talked with you.
For seemingly endless hours.
But only for two days.

What if your soulmate had to stay in her boring town life.
What if your soulmate had yet another flight to catch.

What then?
What if soulmates exist?

I don't want us to have any what if's?

So stand a little closer to me.
And kiss me how you would if you knew this was the beginning of forever.

Endless Horizon
I once found a field,
A beautiful field.
A field that humans have not disturbed.

I lived by the trees near this beautiful field.
But I lived in complete ignorance,
as two men, each with a *****,
came to the middle of the grass,
and struck down a wooden plank.

Before long, my forest disappeared.
Instead of grass growing,
The only thing that surfaced,
was the pale gray stone that was laid there.

I watched as they dug deep into the ground,
where tall boxes of stone and glass rose.
They stood proud against one another,
one building higher than the last.
But they blocked my view,
of a once beautiful sky.

Before long, the field turned into a city,
Cars and buses drove though the winding streets.
People soon started to appear,
and the field I once knew was long forgotten.

A fountain has now been placed,
where the pioneers have struck their plank,
With no tree in sight,
I throw the last seed into the water.
Where it settles to the bottom with coins and marbles,
never to sprout.
Poem that I wanted to share. It's long, so I'm sorry. But this isn't my longest lol

You have three tattoos. Full lips and good strong hands.
You have spots on your nose that I could never fully count.
You have a scar on your right arm, from that hot iron that one time.
The first time you pulled off your shirt, I traced the line with my fingers and fell in love.
You are so much more, from living from that moment to this one.
You always seem to apologise for the little mistakes we make.  
Your body is a map I know every inch of and if anyone else were to kiss me, all they would taste is your name.

Laying,
                  looking to my right

Overcasts**
                  of stunning delight

Velocity
                  rise, we get lost in ties

Existence
                   only in adjacent eyes

Love,
                   we gather, without word or touch

You
                    and I feel our lovely rush

Toes become wet from dew soaked shoes,
fog engulfs the park with a moldy like fuzz.
I take repose on a dank, weary bench,
The cool fore day fog
drizzling on my inflamed cheeks.
My hands and face coated,
with the warmth of blood.
Images of the night before,
appear in my mind, like clouds in the sky,
only to dissipate within the wide-
open expanses of my thoughts.
I shan't ruin a beautifully disconcerting
morning-like this.
I must get home.

Oh I wish so much you would remember
those happy days when we were friends.
Life in those times was so much brighter
and the sun was hotter than today.
Dead leaves picked up by the shovelful.
You see, I have not forgotten.
Dead leaves picked up by the shovelful,
memories and regrets also,
and the North wind carries them away
into the cold night of oblivion.
You see, I have not forgotten
the song that you sang for me:
It is a song resembling us.
We lived together, the both of us,
you who loved me
and I who loved you.
But life drives apart those who love
ever so softly
without a noise
and the sea erases from the sand
the steps of lovers gone their ways.

I am in complete denial
I have become delusional
Craving a story that will never be

I caught myself today experiencing Jealousy
I can't let that one little notification, destroy me


I have to prove myself wrong, I can not let you matter

This is not about words. This is not about language.

This is about rhythm.

This is about the flow of sound, dancing through the air. This is about the pauses, the silences. The breaths taken. This is about syllables matching the beating of my heart.

This is what music is, in its purest form, striped of everything but raw vibrations.  This can reach down to my bones.

This is not about beauty.

This is about truth. This is searching, always, for a sound so true it will cut through the air, through hearts, through time.

This is scrambling for a pen and looking at letters writing themselves in stark black ink on paper that breathes like living skin. This is what life is.

This is not about intelligence.

This is about puzzles. This is dragging the hidden parts of my soul, kicking and screaming, into the light. This is finding all those pieces of me, so small and lost, and figuring them out. What they mean. How they fit.

This is taking words, breaking them down, reshaping them to reflect who I am through shards of fractured light. This is what glass is, when shattered and rebuilt. Incomplete but real.

This is a thousand breaths strung together like the beating of a heart.

This is me.

This is.
