A prisoner of warmth.

Trapped in this cell of anxiety.

With a blind warden.

One who cannot see the prisoner.

Yet talks to the god as if it is nothing

Your golden hair that flows and curls.

The demeanor that rips sympathy from me.

Your unprecedented kindness.

It all brings my heart to a still.

And my mind at ease

Is it love?

A simple admiration of beauty?

I do not know.

I simply feel like I’m drowning.

Drowning in this silence.

Drowning in my fear

In this dark void.

That i float in despair.

You are my beacon.

My hope.

My brilliant star that i wish to pluck.

The star that i love.

Sometimes he'd speak like a pirate
Just to get a laugh

If a giggle was worth a nickel
I couldn't finish the math

His happy carefree spirit was like
The sun lighting a room

But then somewhere down the line
My mind ignored the clues

His appearance became fewer
Like flowers approaching winter

I should've seen the signs
And tried to keep him nearer

I have not heard from him now
For years on end

And not a day goes by that I don't wish
He was still my friend.

Of all my years of life, I’ve had one dream,
that one like you, with visage radiant,
would grace me with your captivating smile.
Your presence carries with it such a joy,
your voice, elixir for my weary soul.
I wish to drown in this unbridled love.

How I wish you would be my love,
I wish to wake up from this lucid dream,
which both elates and haunts my longing soul.
I wake each morn with sadness radiant,
because I long to share with you the joy
I feel whenever I’m graced by your sweet smile.

How your simple presence makes me smile,
As I wait for reciprocated love,
I strive to be content and take my joy
in living for this fantasy, this dream.
For when I see your light so radiant,
it kindles life to flames within my soul.

How my face betrays my troubled soul,
You see the pleasant contour of my smile,
and never it fails to shine so radiant,
as I am plagued by unrequited love.
One day I’ll make reality from dream,
And soar with you in long deserved joy.

How I long to share with you my joy,
Just like an anchor weighing on my soul,
it serves to power this unending dream.
I wish to show the pain behind my smile,
from holding in this life-affirming love
while gazing at your form, so radiant.

Hear my words fair goddess, radiant,
One day, I will turn sadness into joy,
as I confess to you my boundless love
and intertwine with yours, my bursting soul
