Warm raindrops on
her skin make her want
to dance. It sets her in a
deep kind of trance. Making
her crave nothing more than
getting out of her pants and
brushing off the chaos from his
skin as  her rain dance starts to begin* ~

A boy with
sunshine in
his mouth.

A girl with
daisies under
her skin.

He kissed her
and gardens
bursted into
life from
within* ~

You can't tear us apart.
We're made of solid steel.
We live in a country where
it's golden sands turned to
pomegranate red from all
the blood that falls. But in
the end we'll rise up and
stand tall because we will
win this war. ISIS will burn
to dust and ash while our
army men enter the gates
of heaven holding up our
Egyptian flag with pride
and laughs* ~

Because he pulled
me from darkness to
his light. Because he
held my hand tight when
i was scared. Because
he handed me over his
heart without fearing
that i'll tear it apart with
no care. I knew he's the
one the minute his hand
reached out before the
sun came up. Before the
morning dew dropped.
He came to rescue me
while the whole world was
drowning in it's deep
sleep* ~

What hurts you hurts
me. The pain you feel
tears my heart apart.
And i can't make it
stop. But i'll be by
your side my dearest
love. To watch over
you. To feed you. And
to kiss some of your
hurt away. I'll be by
your side to hold your
hand so you won't cry.
I'll be there for you no
matter what just like I
promised on the day I
said my wedding
vows ~

Torn like forgotten old
musical notes.

Left alone to bleed out
the saddest of melodies
from my veins.

The world was getting
heavy and the lights
began to dim. I stopped
eating and became little
and thin.

Waiting for someone to
pass by and fix me
before I die.

Waiting for the sunshine
to shine on my soul.

I shut my eyes and saw
a man wearing red
walking towards
me.

He had scotch tape and
a bag that read the word
"Love" on it.

He picked me up and
dusted me off.

Sat me on his lap and
made me rest on his
chest.

And began to play gently
on the old broken piano
keys a song that he
claimed was
dedicated
for me.

I thought this was all
a dream.

I couldn't believe that
this was happening
to me.

To be loved and healed.
To have a man who
glued my notes.  

And weaved the best
of melodies all over
my skin and bones.

And most of all to finally
not have to deal with
this life and mad
world on my
own* ~

She walks in the room where
her mom is in. No one listens
cause she flips on the news
with the volume on high. "Hey
mom i met a guy from twitter
he's supposed to meet me first
day of college same age but
different faculty" she'd say.
Comes back from college
enters home. Finds her mom screaming and shouting and
if she could she'd probably kick
her daughter out the door.
Slams lunch on the kitchen
table "don't talk to me with
attitude cause i'm sick and tired
of you and your talks are such
a bore and make sure you don't
drop any food on the floor".
That's when she decided to not
to try with her mom no more.
Took her secrets and tucked
them under her skin. She hid
her twitter love in the chambers
of her heart. Walked in and out
of home without a single word
to say. She found love far from
home. That's what she's holding
on. She got her flowers on
mother's day all she heard from
her mom was why'd you waste
our money instead of thank you
for remembering me on such a
day. No more trying this place
isn't home. Home is in his two
arms and wolf like looking eyes. Waiting a few more years till
she'll be long gone moving into
a new place carrying her memories along. A place with no screaming
or cursing no hitting or abuse.
No fear or chocking on a noose.
Just a home with him and her.
Just a home with no storms. A
home waiting for a caring husband and a loving wife to carve their
stories on the walls and bring
them to life. And like
he'd always say the best is
yet to come one day. Hold on
your faith and pray i'll be by your
side always and stay* ~

I shut my eyes
and all i see is
me kissing you ,
while we're wearing
different shades
of dark blue* ~

She fell for him delicately
and effortlessly like maple
leaves down at his feet. She
gave up everything just to
feel his body heat. Together
in autumn weather they fell
for each other hard and deep.
He gave her secrets and kisses
to keep. His love felt soft and
sweet she even felt it at night in
her sleep. Autumn love was what
took over their minds and stallion
steal hearts* ~

I'll be flexible enough
to fold myself into a
boat to save you when
your drowning. I will
draw you a sun with
my crayons and oil
paint to make sure
the light shines on
your face when your
own lights start to
fade. I will cradle
you behind the
bones of my rib
cage on those
nights where
insomnia
forces
to open
your
eyes* ~

Your love grew roots
around my rib cage. I
thought it would make
me feel strange but in fact
it gave me a reason to be brave.
A reason to stand up on the
stage and wave to those who
shattered and crushed me down  
and let my pieces scatter like
ashes in a grave. Your love is
the kind that saves* ~

Opening up the chambers of my heart.
Wanting to spill out the words of love
trapped inside to you using nothing but
paper and pen , just like a drunk man spills
all his drink. I don’t know where to begin.
Whether to write down about how I felt the
first time we met. Or to write down about the
crush I had on you online. Or should I begin
with describing how my stomach twisted and
flipped the first time you sent me a kiss online
when the clock hit midnight and you typed
Happy New Day.
Oh my where should I begin. Perhaps with the
first time you held me skin on skin. Or the first
time you called me your person. You fill me up
with an infinity of words and colourful emotions.
Making me excited about writing them all down
at once. But yet you manage to leave me sitting
down confused and without a clue of where should
I begin. For now I’ll leave you with*

Thank you for existing thank you
for being loyal and true ~

Run away with me , to
the mountains and
between forest trees.
Let's show the culture
that we can change things
around. Let's show them
that love makes everything
better. Let's show them
that we're stronger together.
Let's show them that love
can last forever. Let's prove
them wrong this winter
during this sweater weather.
We'll say our vows as the
winds caress our skin and
shout out for an encore
while they clap in awe.
And watch us kiss again
and again as we blush
and drench one another
in giggles and
laughs ~

Let's go on a road trip
and make your body my
map. Explore every mark
on your skin before i turn
the keys in the ignition of
your car and drive far. Let's
dance with our pants off for
fun you can even undo my bra.
Twist and twirl under
the heat of the sun. Sway
with me in front of ocean
bays or chase me in a garden
maze. Then go out for a pizza and beer.Have baby moons
for dinner with me and teach
me Jagger's dance moves
while we sip our wine from
these twisted vines. Cover
my behind in pizza dough then
go out and make angels in
the snow. Drench me in ice-
cream then ill watch you
become indecisive as you
stand in front of me not
knowing where to begin
licking it off my skin or where
to sin. Hold my hand and
roll down hills and skip the
talking about our bills for
a day. Let's stay in and play
with each other maybe even
kiss under the covers while
we listen to Mozart play his
violin. Let's chase bunnies
when the sunsets in the
meadows and cover our selves
with tiny shiny red bows. Let's
tangle our limbs when its after
dawn and exchange delicate
kisses on one other starting
from the head and ending at the
toes. Let's name the stars together under the dark night sky before
we make passionate love then
zone off and dream of getting
high , mermaids and astronauts
in outer space.Let's eat peanut
butter and jelly and show off
our bellies. Let's do everything together. Hand in hand we'll
find the courage to do all these
plans. Let's be free you and
me for an eternity* ~

Can you hear it ?
Can you hear it ?
The mermaids
whispering secrets
to the shells found in
the red sea. They don't
have flowers in their
hair. All they do all day
is laugh without a care
with pink clam shells
surrounding them
everywhere. Seaweed
wrapped around their
necks looking prettier
than diamonds and stone
gems. Can you hear
them from the distance
over there upon the
coral reefs. Sitting
and singing in peace.
If you hear them would
you tell me please* ~

Some people cry with
screams. Others cry
with tears of blood
instead of water
and salt.
But I , I cry in colours.
I cry in shades of blue
and green. Purple and
raspberry pink. It
sounds weird.
But I cry in rainbow
tears. For every
colour has a
feeling of it's
own* ~

Bobbing our heads to the
beat of the rhythm of the
people singing in the street.

Dancing on branches and
twigs with happy feet.

Flying around the city all day. Standing on statues of clay.

While our hearts bloom just
like the flowers of spring do.

We look at one another's pretty feathers and say the words of
I love you.

While other pigeons watch
us as I lean forward to kiss
you the way morning dew
kisses the flowers and their
leaves too.

They watch us as I kiss you
the way lovers do at night in
the city lights.

As they shout out for an encore
and flap their wings to clap* ~

She was suicidal and
sick to the bone. He
was a boy with a mind
of his own. He walked
around with his smokes.
While she walked around
with her body aches and
hurt. They stumbled upon
one another. That was when
he started flirting. He never
questioned her about the
sins her hands did. Neither
about the places where the
razor blade caressed her skin.
He only asked to marry her
and stay by her side till the
end. Till she's healthy and
strong. Till she chops off the
arms of her past. Till she
bursts in giggles and laughs.
And that was when he asked
for her to be his first kiss
while he approached to her
rosy lips* ~

Place your ribs into my
spine.

Sing me a melody
with a few rhymes.

Tell me lullabies on my
darkest nights. Tell me
things i can't deny.

Adjust the
stars in my skies.

Kiss me in bed before
i shut my eyes.

Run your fingers through
my hair.

Whisper prayers into
my ears.

Knot your fingers through
mine in the dead of night.

Cause my arms are trembling
as i lay down scared and
drenched in fear.

Place your ribs into my
spine.

And warm my body up
from this cold winter air.

Slap your skin against
mine and make me feel
your there.

Snuggled by my side
under the bed sheets.

Sniffing the scent of
lavender from hair.

Dressed in nothing but
your favorite underwear.

Resting by my side
without worrying
about running out
of time.

Or running out of tasty
red wine coming
from fresh twisted
grape vines ~

Breathe me in. Like the
scent of blooming flowers
in spring. Take me to a
secret place where the
law can not find us. I'll
show you what love feels
like. We'll taste passion
and lust on the tip of our
tongues. Press your body
against mine while we kiss
behind your bedroom door.
Whisper i love you as your
hands touch my hips , lips and
unclip my black lace bra.
Show me the light
cause i've been trapped in
a dark metaphor for so long.
Teach me how to breath
because my lungs haven't
been working from all the
weights they've carried all
along. Undress my soul before
you lay your hands on my
skin. We can tell each other
stories before we begin to
explain them in the form of
gentle love. Let me curl against
your chest. It's been years
since my soul got to experience what's it like to rest. Let me
press my lips to your neck.
And i promise to write you
****** poetry. The kind that
your eyes will desire to
read while you sit alone in
bed with your legs widely
spread while its dark. Love
me for what i am. Love the
small broken little girl that
exists under this skin. Love
the ashes of my heart. For
it's been burnt too long. Hug
me tight through the night.
Because I need you by my
side. Calm the tempest i have
in my mind and tell me a lullaby tonight while i watch the
stars sparkle in your eyes
under the nights black
sky* ~

Im holding on to you
before your wings crash
and fall. Hush now i'll bow
down to you and kiss your
sadness away. You can
call it madness if you want.
Give me your hands to hold.
I'll protect them from the
blistering cold. Let me hug
you at the times you feel your
growing old. Your eyes shine like pretty
emeralds and diamonds.
Let me stare at them because
they'll help guide us. I can see
stories of our future , us , our
children a wooden cottage even
your college degree. It's true
that's what I see. Come on
darling light up a smoke i'll tell
you a joke and soon we'll leave
this town because lately it's
been making you frown*  ~

I hollowed out this
space in my heart
for you in case you
ever need a safe
place to stay.
I watered the seeds  
underneath my
skin. Incase you need
a garden with flowers
of pink , purple and
blue to meditate
in* ~

Walking on the fluff of clouds. Singing happy songs out loud. Breathing autumns fresh air.
Wearing a bra that matches
my black lace underwear. I
wonder around town without
a clue. Going to places that
remind me of the scent of you. Observing around. Looking
like a fool looking like a clown. Looking for a place that's
similar to Alice's wonderland
in a hole underground.
Looking for a place
where we could
be alone and
never found* ~

The birds painted on
the cement wall were
born to fly. Not to be
stuck on a solid wall
and die. I scratched
the wall to make the
cement crack and fall.
So I can free the birds
despite that I knew
I can't. They looked
so dark and sad. But
they still deserved
another try and chance.
All that was left in my
hands was to pray
for my paint brush
to give them some
colour and a
little life* ~

Was it fate that we met ?
To find my true soulmate.

The whole thing was a once
a dream and now it has to
turned into a reality.

I felt like floating in the air
as if there was no gravity to
pull me down.

I breathed in your scent as I
held you between my hands.

How lucky am I to have you
for an eternity.

My soulmate has found me
online and now he is here
right in front of me.

Telling me "Oh darling , now
that I have found you would
you please marry me"

Without hesitating or asking
the question of why joyful
tears fell from my eyes , as
I said my I do's and vows* ~

We've been lost. Up and
down. Laughing like maniacs
and clowns. Broken and bent.
Wounded and hurt. Used and
abused. Beaten down to the
bone. Choked by the neck
and throat. Slaves to our
suicidal thoughts. Obeying
nothing but our sharpened
razors and shining blades.
We've been numb and
paralyzed , no one around
bothered to pause and
realize. But we moved
on as we clutched on
our lucky charms.

Despite our same homes
and walls. Same lives and
paths. Same work and ghosts ,
we found a light shining in
our cold worlds. Hope
dangling from a thread.
God's hand reaching out
from the morning's blue
skies patting our backs and
offering some help. We
found angels floating above
with their harps and violins
as we closed our tired eyes ,
they sang us songs to
make us feel alright.

We found new worlds that
exist inside of our chests.
Dreams of ginger heads ,
cookies and bread. Dreams
of gold and shimmering
jewels. Dreams of love and
wearing designer shoes.
We let go of the things that
hurt our souls and hearts.
In the hallow corridors of
our minds , we walked with
confidence and pride. We
promised that we'll keep
going in this life with out
a scream or a cry.

We promised ourselves to
move on as we let out gentle
breaths of relief instead of
sobs and sighs. We promised
to work ******* our lives.
We promised ourselves that
we'll survive no matter how
high our waves will rise. No
matter how rough our storms
and winds will get. With
a positive attitude
we'll bloom and shine
like the moon* ~

Whisper your darkest
secrets across my chest.
Tell me naughty words
to put my lust to rest* ~

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* ~

Words bleed not hearts.
Coloured crimson takes
place in these dark brown
eyes. They burn just for
you. Tonight you left me
craving for your love. I
can feel the ink start a
flood from within my
veins. And the typewriter
typing in the back of my
brain. Seems like the ink
got in my bloodstream once
again.I can feel it kicking in
it feels worse than how the
chemicals feel under
my fragile skin. Tonight
my pen is the poet and
you are the beat. And
these words are bleeding
out helplessly just for you
as they form these sentences
of I'm here loving and craving
every inch on you* ~

God created the world
in seven days. But i will
never know how much
time did it take him to
draw the details of your
pretty face* ~

I'm finding my heart
using your hands.

Healing my scars
using your love.

Lighting my dark
with all of your
sparks.
            
Reading the
words trembling
off your
tongue.

I'm following the
map that's stretched
over your skin and
bones.

While tasting the
honey dripping
from your voice.

And listening to
our hearts hum
the same melodies
from within* ~

I want to hide under
your skin.

To cocoon in your
lungs.

I want to stay in
a shell.

Like little *****
and clams on the sea
shores.

Like little dinosaurs
ages ago.

Because this world is
hurting me to the point
where i can't take it
anymore* ~

And you say that it's alright
But darling I know that it’s a lie
From the black in your eyes it
ruins your disguise and every word
you say. I care about you no matter
the things that you do. I'll be there
when you're feeling grey and blue. I'm
telling you this because i've felt that too. Hold still
now so i can kiss you and turn those
lips to pomegranate red. I'll make you
forget every bad word they said. Don't
worry dear love i promise those words
won't replay over and over again in your
head. Lay down now on bed i'll kiss you
hard in order to help you forget every bad
word they said. I care about you trust me
i'm not like those who make you you feel
empty and blue. You just know that i care
about you. I'll hold on to your hand and be
by your side. If you want we can even run away
and watch the riptide for an entire day* ~

In love with the way
he makes sense out of
his melodies. The way
he listens to every music
note so carefully. How
he makes his trance
and dubstep music so
perfectly. How he sits
down silently working
on his beats passionately.
I swear in my entire life
I haven't seen anyone as
lovely as he*  ~

We're howling forever .
Standing on all fours talking to the moon .
The fog falls down and covers the wood's floor I
lay my heart out and let it bleed on yours . Feeding on fever as
my bones ache from the shape shifting pain that I can't take I
look at you knowing this isn't fake we've actually been bitten
by the werewolf tonight and now we'll forever remain cursed .
Running wild in these woods looking for fresh prey and a safe
place to stay I look into my wolf boy's eyes and tell him we'll be ok ~

She wears her heart
out like a big deal.
Cause she believes
that love is real. She
believes that it exists
and can mend what's
been broken and
bent* ~

I hit back
when the
ink hurts
me* ~

Colour my petals ,
colour my stems. Don't
let me wilt don't let me
bend. Water me and turn
me holy.

Caress my leaves and
soften their every edge.
Don't leave me please ,
I am small and weary. I
need you for my
photosynthesis.

My roots are fighting
beneath the soil to feed
and breathe , despite my
silence I am trying to
survive and exist on a
planet like this.

Because of you I am
slowly blooming. Because
of you I am healing and
believing* ~
