Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again

Morning summer sun,
Shining on a cold, empty bed,
A lonely day comes again.

Every day is the same,
Missing waking up in your arms.

A cold light shining on my Soul,
It seems happiness only comes when falling asleep,

Traveling to our past,
And dreaming of happy sunny summer days,
Both of us sleeping together in our warm, loving bed.

I want to reach deeper into your existence

To the very bone of who you are,

But for some reason it scares people to let their

skeleton out of the closet.

the stars
are held in place by nothing
but love

a universal love

permantes everything
surrounds everything
becomes everything

no tears fall that this love
is not aware

all life that falls
will not be forsaken

every heart broken
will be healed

love will

My dear love,
Don't' cry,
Everything I gave you, can never be taken away.

Hush now,
Be happy,
Our Souls touched,

An impossibility that only fate would know,
That two hearts needed to meet and lift each other up,
After falling so far.

The things I gave you will remain with you forever,
They will never be retaken,
My love will be with you forever.

I only wish I could give you more of my heart,
To carry with you after I'm gone,
Stay strong my princess.

And when we're apart,
I will hold tight,
The treasure of our last kiss goodbye.

We were two heavenly bodies
In vast darkness
Dancing to love
Around a cluster of stars
