Wisps of memories grace my mind
Like a cold mist in the morning
Upon my skin.

Phantom sensations of lips and hands,
Threads of touches that grazed my face
Make me smile.

A voice deep and comforting in tone,
Whispers of sweet words ringing like echoes
In my ears.

Images of you, fading and blurry,
Stand where you stood, smiled where you sat
In my mind’s eye.

Dreams of fantasies that never came true
Haunt me as I struggle between what was
And what wasn’t.

Wonderings of where you are now,
How you feel, and if you think of me
Often or never.

Realizations that goodbye was inevitable
And hurt because you disappeared so quickly
Like a ghost.
Looking back at how we used to be makes me laugh not smile cause I find it funny how silly I was for believing **you were different
This time last year, everything was different

We were closer, we were stronger
Now all thats left is plain, simple, agonizing distance
This thing we had, I never knew it was temporary

You’ll be blowing twenty candles soon, blowing away all the memories of the year before, the year when you were 19, when there was a me and you.

It’s all fun and games until it’s not,
the one who falls the hardest,
the one who breaks first,
the one who says hi first,
They all have one thing in common, they always lose.
So we’ll patiently wait for the other to crack

Happy birthday old friend, or should I say new stranger
Heres to you and all your bad ways
Heres to the boy I once knew and loved, to the man I can’t even recognize anymore

Heres to the end, the start of a new beginning without you and I
Blow the candles away and all whats left of us shall be gone with it

It’s all fun and games, until someone gets hurt and things remain forever broken
-. Memories made, Photographs taken, Love felt, Mistakes forgiven, Tears shed, Hearts broken
On the wings
for long,
sky lights still beacon,
fuel gauge blinks red,
far destinations
ruled out.
Sea, a glittering
field of silver
heartily invites
but no landing gear
to alight on waves.
Floating on a limbo,
but my lover,
only co-traveler
just smiles!
believing in me,
waits for a
befitting end to this
exciting adventure.
A flash
connecting million
neurons in brain
each one coming alive,
**"let's navigate
our craft to heaven,
call it, Shangri La,
or whatever"
Treacherous winds, that blew all night long, brought me,
a comely dove, immaculately white, with broken wings;
I tended her, brought back to life, fell in love with her, even against my wish,
when the sky was clear, she flew up, not even once looking back.

I do not want to talk about "nothing".
I guarantee that you do not even know what significance nothing holds.
Nothing is so intimate.
Stories, and memories are just things that have happened to you,
they could have happened to anybody.
Nothing tells you exactly who I am,
And how I think,
How I react,
And my whole MO.
I could never be that vulnerable with something like you.
We can certainly NOT "talk about nothing"
This was inspired by a line from the song Dashboard by Modest Moues
"I told you about nothing, which was more than I wanted you to know."
There comes a day when you realize who you really are..
A Hero....
A believer..
A life changer....
I know who I was meant to be...
With the powers to woo...
I slang the super ****...
I do the super thang...
Save A woman...
repeatedly...
Not many
Just one...
I mean others might catch the side effects
but I read the comics...
and every maniac...
thats like me...
only has but one queen....
with the occasional relapse..
because in most of their titles...
lies a flawed Man...
Super....
Bat....
Spider....
But I admire the Hulk....
Cuz I'm just
******!!!!
