Star Gazer
...
...And I love you more than I do myself.
I love you with a heart that lives deep in the shadows
Where only your light could fetch it out of the barren wastelands.
It was your love that has shown me light
It was your love that I longed for
It was your love that I will die for.
It was you.

I love you for all your petals
That shared a different scent
No matter how the skies bent
I love you for all that settles.
Each stones, each pebbles
Built a bridge with dents
And soon all of it went
away.

I love you beyond my understanding
And as long as you are happy
I can gaze at the stars dancing
And know that I have loved you correctly
Without ever needing your love
In return.
~As long as you are happy. I'm happy.
Sometimes love is strange, it works for some,
it doesn't work for some, but I love you enough
to let you go be happy with someone else.~

Got Guanxi
The smell of wood polish;
sprayed unevenly on the counter top,
brought you back to life.
Back down from heaven and earth into my mind,
where you had evaded me for the longest time.
An aroma of you.
My Great Grandma.
The Greatest Grandma,
I smelt that wood polish and your memory came alive again.
For one final time.
I closed my eyes,
I was a child,
and it was almost like
you came back to life.

m i a
darling,
don't fall in love with me
to fast,
for i have such,
a broken past,
filled with,
relationships that
didn't last,
failing class
after class,
and watching my heart being
shattered just like glass,
so,
let's take things slow,
and let what we have,
continue to slowly grow.
in which a girl and a boy, decide not to fall in love too fast, but enjoy their process of understanding and learning to truly love each other.

This isn't a poem,
I do not like missing you
Michael Bolton knows.

Arms outstretched,
every bone and nerve-ending.
To all that have felt my presence,
good vibes I'm sending.

I have known you
You don't care about me
I have loved you
You taught me about me

Feet grounded, fingertip branches sway.
Motions I yearn to be making,
Force of Wind keeps me Dancing
Night and Day.

In the sky
It's a face you can't forget, with no name.
You could hear it, scream it at the tops of your lungs,
and it would never sound exactly the same.
You could even frame it,
when there's no one to blame.

Find me and tell me Everything,
Find me and tell me Anything.

I have known you
You don't care about me
I have loved you
You have taught me about me

Build me up, to take me down.
Love me tough, then run around.
Had me fooled more than once or twice,
Knowing what I do now would've been nice.

I have known you
You don't care about me
I have loved you
You have taught me about me

Find me and tell me Everything,
Find me and tell me Anything.

Tallulah
Won’t you slip into
the drapes of my collarbone
and nestle kissing my throat.
I’ll breathe a quiet moan
you’ll unbutton my cotton coat.

Close me inside the walls
that are dusty from lack of use
locked from adolescent abuse,
and dimmed inside we’ll retreat
to kiss where our eyes don’t meet.

watching you undress
was viewing a work of art
with new eyes, my love

I just had to get out of there,
She was too much,
She loved me, no doubt,
But we often hurt the ones we love,
In the very name of love,
I tried,
I tried hard to work myself around her ways,
'Cause I knew she meant well,
But the hurt was getting too much,
In my life that's out of control,
And what was worse,
I found myself comparing her to*  you
The only one I ever loved,
The only one who knew how to love
  me,
*She was a friend,
But not that perfectly fit piece,
To fit the empty space in my jigsaw,
Taken away with you
We hurt the ones we love, when we don't know how to love them.

A house should have.
Love coursing
through it's veins.
From the foundations.
Homes build nations.
Where lovers live.
It should carry the voices of children.
As they're playing at childish dreams.
It needs feeling.
Senses.
Wealth of smells.
Many more smiles.
It should be a haven outside heaven.
Cosy as an egg cup.
With a hat on ,
That's the roof.
Warm and protective.
