Love is amazing, lovers that is. You can be sitting in the same coffee shop, two tables over, on the same day. When you see them, you'll know. It's an unmistakable energy, flowing from them, a brand new life source, it seems. True love, oh, what a beautiful thing. You can tell, you can see it. They may not see the beauty in the shining light radiating from them, as if they were wearing an extra layer of skin. Such beauty shines through, when two lovers step in. You see, they love so much, and feel so much, the love begins to spread. You see it, and you see the dread, slowly leaving everyone's faces, as if God walked in and showed them all the way. I've never seen such beautiful a thing, as when two lovers pass by me. I look, I smile, and carry on my way. When you witness such a love, it almost takes your breath away, as if all the ice inside your heart, could just melt away. Love is, the beginning, the middle, and it has no end. There is no other way, than to love, be loved, and eventually float away. Pay closer attention, when you're out and about, you never know, two lovers may come along and just warm your heart.

I see the ground and the sky
is it above or below me?
Quite possibly I'm blind
The world is always spinning
But there's not much time
The sun is slowly dying
and I haven't accomplished
my dreams, so what am
I left to do? But just live my life
Do, feel, see, touch, taste, experience
whatever, wherever, with whomever I'd like
And eventually, my soul, It'll fly off into unknowns
And finally, oh finally, I'll be on my journey home.

We speak in revisions
and ever flowing renditions
We laugh, in sonnets and haiku
We speak from our hearts
and often times, become removed
Lost in a poetic world of rhymes,
and lines. Scattered across
many, a many lifetime
We write, we write, we write
because we know, words
are always on our side
I could give you more
explanation, but I'm just
living a poets life.

My heart, my heart
will eventually
unfold
All these secrets, secrets
untold
My heart, my heart
it bears, far too much weight
I must release, release everything
before, way before, I walk the plank
I must release, release once more
before, way before, or this ship will sink
and no more passengers, are left on board

I wanna show you the light
cause' baby, I'm on a roll tonight
Those lips, are speaking
all of your fantasies.
Cause' me and you,
could make
all of them come true
Without a doubt, love
just come out of the dark
please, just show yourself
It's only you and me
you have nothing to worry
and nothing to fear
my love, my love, my love
I wanna show you the light
cause' baby, I'm on a roll tonight
Those eyes, are telling me things,
I've waited so long to hear
Just come, come, oh so near
You needn't have to speak
those lips, those eyes,
the message is so clear.
I just need you, I just
need you here.

Conflicted
I'm a walking contradiction
because I love
what can be said and
done with words
But I've always believed
you can express
much more, silently
and through use of actions
than you ever can, when using words.
Do you see what I mean?
I'm using them now, but
they'd be worth much more
If they were words spoken
from the eyes or from the body
A secret language, we all desire to understand
Body language, a beautiful mysterious gift, to "man".

I could make you feel
as beautiful blossoms do
when flowers bloom
My secret wonderland
come, just come right in
You're always invited
You're always welcome within
You needn't have to ask
just come, come a last
lay with me
forget about the past
Do you remember
that story I've been telling you?
Well, here's the thing
it's written
about you and me
I've waited so long
and you're finally here
I couldn't wait any longer
I just had to show you
I had to tell you
I know your heart's
been a wander
and that's okay
I'm not at all bothered
As long as you're next to me
nothing else could matter
Such beautiful fairytales
we would create
Everlasting stories
hidden beneath these sheets
I'll keep your secrets
and lock them away
there isn't anything
or nothing I wouldn't do
to finally show you
what it is I've been trying to say
We could make
such beautiful music, notes
and chords will be struck
but this, and that, is just wishful luck
To have you, and to have you
are two completely different "buts"
Just to know you, is to feel love.
If only I could show you
If only I could tell you
and I just wish you knew
this story was about you,
that our story isn't over
that it's not the right time
so don't you fret
my dear love
in due time..
