Bottle this feelings with ***** and sprite
Let's dance this life throughout the night
Am I not in this with you by my side
We'll fly away far out of sight

You speak of love
So harsh so harsh
Let me love you now
So hush so hush


My poems don't rhyme like they did before
No longer my ocean waves hits the shore
Wondering where could my love adore
My heart may have truly met it's core

Never have I tried
So hard so hard
Only to be hurt
So crush so crush


This is not the part where the ship take sail
Where the ending is oh so fairly tale
Listen when I promise you this in a mail
I love you sincerely and forever I will

My fingers trails around the edge
Once familiar but not forgotten
Rush of adrenaline pumps through my veins
As i pick up this wood filled lead
Not recounting the memories once felt
I took out my heart
Dusting off what remains
Only this the best I could scribble with

Is this all a dream
That you've been lingering...
Illuminating,
Showering love in my realm with colorful rainbows

And you...
I'm still loving you
Just let this be a secret only for you  

When my heart stops and no longer beating
It goes the same to this poem I'm writing
But that its not the slightest meaning
I hope you'll keep continue on dreaming

And you...
I'm still loving you
Just let this be a sweet dream for me and you

I've created love in the realm of dreams
Freezing your memories with snow white as cream
I'll always be by your side guiding
Forever for you...
I...
I promise...

If I could speak
I would spill these lamentations
cloistered sins and secrets
whispered vespers for wretched dreams
Retching sentiment
this malignant manifesto
a macabre mantra
eats my skin from within
transient refuge for temporal treasures
inexorable moments carry life away

tick tick tick
the seconds scurry
flurried ineffectual supplications
demigods of affluence
the cacophony of the machine
I spin within
cogniscient of my myopia
the funneled tunnel vision
drips from the end of a pen
furtive verses on paper
fading ochre moments
somber drops of ash and bone
poetic exorcisms
of wicked things unknown

phrenetic
sensibilities trickle
spilling life
black and withering
is the gain worth sacrifice
crackling fat of dreams
too costly
this shallow palette
self obsessed
eyes gouged out
hands shackled
to the reality
the immortality

trust the dust
the dust becomes me
soul focused on decay
spectre death
devouring this unsparked spirit
If I could speak
truth into your heart
would you
believe.....
in anything more than what you see
I trust the dust and dust will be
the remnant me

this is admittedly toxic - I'm actually quite normal - because I purge in poetry.

She fell to the floor and clenched her heart
Trying to keep it from falling apart
She knows by heart those enslaving lips
And the way they had danced along her hips
No one had told her what it would take
No one had warned her of this beastly ache
She was lost in a world where nobody cared
She was lost in a world so lonely and scared
If only they knew how long she had cried
If only they knew now much she had died
What she would give to not have any feelings at all
She expected to stumble but never to fall.
She thought of the men she loved the men she slew
"But none of them," she whispered "could compare to you.

I have spaces between my fingers
And scrapes along my knees
And there are cracks between my lips
Where empty words are breathed
Now can you see - that i am not complete?
Im waiting for your arrival
and when you come, please do not leave

you are in love with a girl
and you think she is beautiful
you remind her everyday

you want her for yourself
but she has shadows
and they chase

her smile is empty
though you think
it's her prettiest curve

And her veins
they run with blood
she hates it -you've observed

you are in love with a girl
but she has nothing to offer
she despises herself, there is no heart to rob her

they told me when you smile
it lights up the whole town
but i saw you as the sun
and the moon and all the stars
because you create the summer
and brighten up the night
You wouldnt need to smile,
because you already are the light
dedicated to everything

though we were never taught,
we all smile
when we're sad
why is that?

"I'll take that," I said.

"No, it's fragile," she said.

"Ah, your heart!" I quipped.
To the man who taught me how to love.

People like these will never die.
Because they left their legacies
not in their words but in the hearts
of us lonely lovers.
He gave me something to live for
and something worth waking up another day for.

He wasn't just a writer. He was a fighter. A philosopher. A man who lived as his words.

A million thank yous will never suffice.

You will never die.
You never could.
