beth fwoah dream
gathered up,
spells and sorcery,
budding silver moon,
eyelashes melting,
sweet, sweet kiss.

I have always hoped that you wouldnt get close enough
To catch the sharp ends of my personality
But with each slice to your ego
And every tear to your flesh
You seemed to tear me too
And when we got close enough
To inspect each others wounds
I looked into your eyes and saw my whole life flash
And I retracted my claws and hugged you tight
I never wanna let go

Good day Gosiame,
Many consider the broad strokes on wide grins the epitaph of love. My misadventures have the pessimist within eager to press this home. I still quietly revel at the stolen few, for the current days and status like demeanours that determine our life’s compatibilities have them reduced to but an air of myth. Urban legend if you will.  Happiness was foretold and so it shall be but happiness also resides comfortably within conflict. The many contradictions that define the needs and wants of the heart offer up the best versions of such. Happiness does if anything represent a worthwhile attempt at those grins, thus the reluctant pursuit.
I wanted you when you barely knew I existed but still I could illicit some pearly whites, my maths seemed flawed…
The heart is a destructive tool but remains the bravest of all organs and thus the most important. We do battle for matters that affect it. We challenge all reason and enter debate with our fears for the heart. A tentative approach is the most convenient vice but involve the imaginarium and the possibility of a mind without realms, you notice that it’s far from just a solitary foot in.
The world understands us not. It was never designed to. In all its materialistic glory, ours is a matter that comes unbound and again your grins have my nature ever more complicit. I should tell you to quit it because you ruin me, but the possibilities of having you even attempt to put me back together with that unassuming glance you possess…
See it’s hope that marks my inability to string anything past the outwardly curl and partial lift at the ends of your mouth. Someday, one day soon I might yet hold all rights and the good fortune of that moment your checks swell up, eyes half flutter and your sincerity bursts through. That moment when you stop time and in staring you on I am front and centre to all that matters at that particular moment. Your blessings never cease
Regards,

He told me not to burn the bridge between us
So I lit that **** on fire
Relished in the ash as it fell
And bathed in the smoke it created

After all

Our love was the only poisonous thing
That I should dare to escape
Love no thanks

I could hear it, it a voice calling my name,
It was soft and it sound so lame,
So lovely, dancing In my heart like flame,
I looked around, thinking it was my sister Jane,
I now noticed it was whispering to my heart,
I was calm, so I remove my hat,
Soft like that of a cat,
I was on my mat lying down flat.

I saw myself where I couldn't comprehend,
There comes a long shadows with no end,
I looked up and saw Lucy whom I LOVE,
She was lonely, and she needed my words.

I woke up from my deep slumber,
All the puzzles in my heart was answered by her,
Children are unborn, I want her be their mother.

Dreams come true with her,
We laughed to each other with kisses,
Living happily with no hisses.
there is not such thing as coincidences; you met me for a reason &Ey;;'m gonna help you find it. We travel around like ants in a line; passing information. Do we receive it or just believe it? We don't even know; where to go. Time isn't even real, so why do we **** it? Killing time by being so blinded of what the world really is.. Instead of a world full of hate; why can't we just Love?

More than anybody,
I come to you.
When the night is too long
and the weather too cold,
I come to you.

Be my fuel, my source of comfort,
But don't hurt me.
Be my light,
But don't leave me in the dark.
Be my battery,
But don't die on me.
Be my warmth,
But don't suffocate me.
Be my veins, but don't burst.
Be my ink, but don't blot.
Be my music, but don't end.

*Be my heart, and please, don't break.
Its not me I'm worried about, it's you. Don't bleed again, please.

MY FIRST & LAST LOVE LETTER

This I declare as my first & last love letter
Dedicated to the woman who looked at me and thought that I was better
In a sea of many men with fragile hearts and broken dreams
She chose to mend mine
In the process of putting the pieces together, she used herself as the glue & now
She is permanently a part of my new Picasso image of refined love.
A kind heart that lacks not a kind word in moments when emotions overflow
Poetry makes it easy for me to express these emotions
'Cause if I was an ordinary man I would have died in silence & left her seeking solace
Jesus would have to come back & perform all his miracles in order to reach out to her heart & resurrect my soul.
Enough about the riddle talk now let's go back to the love notes that make up this melody in my heart
The woman with a smile that brings out the life in my soul
She, the woman who invades my thoughts more than a germ invades a surface.
I find myself humming love tunes & writing love poems at the thought of you
Hoping to spend all my desired forevers with you
If only this was to be true
We all know that life has no guarantees
So I have prepared & cleaned up a small room for disappointment because of you
'Cause this love thing we have going seems too good to be true
Call me a sceptic but I've come to believe that your presence in my system is therapeutically septic
You have injected me with life but you still remain the potential cause of my fate
Explains why every time after I ****** in your presence at the dear end I end up in a faint
Totally disconnected from existence
A wonderfully dreadful experience
A once in a lifetime moment that resulted in me writing you this love poem
Which I have declared as the first & last love letter because I believe that you deserve better...   (to be continued)

I imagine her kiss
As I stand next to her grace
And her face is facing me
Head on
I'm lost in in the space
Within her eyes
Trapped between
What she sees
What she feels
Her hand holds another
And I remain still
To daydream of a never future
A place that will never
Physically be real

Sweet M,  you have grown in my heart like a succulent plant,  nourishing my mind and my soul with divine manna from heaven.

I partake of your divinity through my eyes,  ears, and mouth

Your soft tendrils play celestial music on my skin.

To see you sway to your own internal rhythm floods my heart with unspeakable joy.

The faint aroma of you wakes primeval desires in my marrow...

We are but a sum total of our love...
I am standing here waiting for you to wrap me in your warmth...
Grow on me,  
draw out my saps and let me drink on yours..

We don't know where we will be when the heavens crumble to dust...

Days passed, and you're still on mind, nights were dark,
days aren't bright without you, the only light I've seen the only light I've ever needed was you.

Days passed and I don't know how are you. I don't know where are you nor with whom you are, days passed and I know nothing about you.

Days passed and I'm broken missing you, days passed and I'm shattered waiting for you, days passed and in pain I was though.*

                                *Days passed and I still love you.
