We need no one's approval.
We are poets, not pleaders.
We just need to express.

Little boy with wounds
on his heart. And scars
on his feet. Little boy
wondering off and lost
in the streets. Looking for
something to eat. Looking
for his family’s picture in
the sand. Little boy with a
broken toy in his hand. And
bruises on his lips. Runs in
the streets with no clue looking
like a fool. All he wants is a warm
hand to hold and a heart to crawl
in when it’s night and time for
bed* ~

We drink from rivers we
dance like swans. We
chase the sun and run
in the dead of night. We
collect the best of songs
and get drunk on life.
Jump from planet to
planet. And giggle in
the sun. We are the
dream catchers. We
are the chasers of the
light ~

When I die don’t sob and cry.
When I die don’t wear black
and flip that beautiful smile of
yours upside down. Remember
the times you were kissing me.
While they force my body down
to gentle earth’s soil. The graves
won’t handle my soul for long I’m
sure. I’ll crawl my way out of my
wooden box. Rewind the arrows
on your clocks. Sit beside you and
watch. Guard you and make sure
your safe and sound. I won’t leave
you alone. And if you visit my grave
stone don’t bring flowers because I
don’t want to feel officially dead. I’ll be
waiting for you on the other side baby
ready to hold your hands again. I’ll wipe
your tears before they fall down when
you cry. I’ll hear your “I love you’s” inbetween
your every sigh. These are the promises
my heart made the minute you claimed I
am yours. These are the promises I will
keep when the doctors call me cold blue.
When the heartbeats of mine go off the crash
carts scan. These promises are for you
because sweetheart i love you and i
swear my words are loyal and true ~

Everything
I have
I have given it
To make you feel alive
You can always take
And I ask nothing
Just to let you live
Happy

To see your eyes
Brimming with joy
To see your smile
With honey oozing
from your voice and
soul


But
Too much pain
For me to bear
It’s about time
To let you feel
Just a tiny glimpse
Of what I can do

I won’t mind if your
love drives me blind
I won’t mind if you bind
me with your wants
I ask for nothing
Just want to see you grow
To free the reality that you
have trapped within your
soul


You take what’s mine
I won’t be selfish
But now you take too much
I’ll make you regret it.
