poetry should flow freely from the ravine of your soul.

not to be kept by the guardian of your conscience.

true thoughts and innocence are muddled by a large vocabulary and overworked mind.

sit back and relax. allow your inner child to pick up the pen and write what you've felt all along.
If our love was like a galaxy,
We would be the stars.
You would be the brightest ones,
Lighting up the dark.

Our love is like the most complicated of puzzles;
Confusing,
Endless,
But seemingly possible,
Nothing could take apart you and I.

Our love is like an anchor,
Weighing each other down,
"She hates him, he loves her,"
There's not much of her now.

If our love was an ocean,
You'd be the crescent waves.
I would be the beautiful creatures,
You control my every day.

If our love was a galaxy,
We would be the stars.
You will always be the brightest ones,
Lighting up my dark.
I wrote this about the person I've had feelings for since the day I've met him.
" I can't help it" you said
"Things are like that, black and white"
Let me share my my visions with you
in my visions there are so many  beautiful shades of grey

"I missed the chance" you said
"Now it's too late"
Let me share my thoughts with you
in my thoughts the clocks tick differently - It's never too late to try

"I am tired of so many things" you said
" I am getting old and losing energy"
Let me share my dreams with you
in my dreams there are no limits - release all worries and let's fly

"I was there" you said
" but I was only present, tolerated - never belonged to it"
Let me share my heart with you
in my heart there's no place for ignorance and I promise this time you will be part of it

When my brain turns cold
And my heart feels old
When it’s hard to breathe
When I cannot speak

When I am in a dark place
Following a trace
That is leading me to the gates
In whom I put my faith

When I am stuffed with pills
And time stands still
When I am losing the vent
As the death angel is sent

Will you come?
Will anyone come?
Will you cry?
When you watch me die!

Would you forget it all?
And answer my death call?
Will you sprinkle flowers of love?
And I shall then fly away like a dove!

I've been to a
fair amount of
places
           and
I've witnessed
my fair share
of things.

But I still
can't fathom
the concept
of
*time.
