When everything inside me
Feels so...
Small?
ARI Aug 2017
When my eyes are closed
And my cheeks are wet.
My lips will smile softly
As I forfeit all my fears
To the memories between my ears.

The memories of which
Are made from the trails
I paved in foreign countries.
Strong gales of sweet laughter
Sewn into heart songs; my ever after.

Excuse me please,
For being skeptical
When you claim to think highly of me.

For I remember
All the times
You swore Id never amount to anything.

I can still feel
Your harsh words
burrowing into my deepest insecurities.

So excuse me please,
For not believing
The sweet words you've wrapped me in.

My heart has become
An eternity thread
Sewing itself to various
Shards of vibrant life
Ive found within this world.

My sorrows and joys
Like hard earned stamps
Sleeping in my passport to life
As evidence to my heartaches.
Each one is treasured dearly.

My never ending scars
Acting as a topographic map
Across my young yet weary body
Of which documents my travels.
My mind is my legend.

The heart in question
Is strong and mighty
Loud and needy.
It will demand a life
Of ever changing scenery
While crying for serenity
Inside another's soul.

This travelers heart
Will carry you to places
You never knew you craved.
She will sing you songs
You've never heard before
And every string inside your
Being will rejoice in the music made.

She will create melodies
From the flowers blooming
As the sun dances just for them.
Melodies of which will
Somehow transform the world
Into the most soul changing
Symphony any creature has ever heard.

She will never feel satisfied
With three, eight, or nineteen
Countries imprinted into her blood.
She will turn you into an
Addict always looking for
Your next fix full of exploration;
Foreign languages playing in your ear.

She will make you feel
So full of love as long as you
Provide her with tastes of foreign life.
She will make you feel lost
Inside a never ending cavern
Filled with faded heart lights
If you ever wish to stay still.

For trade: A travelers heart
Wanted: A heart made for home.

Dear heart
Dear mind
Tell me please
What you're trying to find.

Your insecurities
Your tears
Have shredded me
I'm lost within my fears.

Please stop
Please wait
I'm begging you
Relieve me of your self-hate.

I swear she calls to me
For I can hear
Her every word caressing my soul.

I swear she needs me
Just as much
As I crave to sew her into my heart.

I swear I love her
With every ounce
Of my 'ever wandering soul.

I swear I cannot live
Much longer
Without my sweet Adventure.
