Some people look for reasons to live
As if they need them to live
As if without them they’d die
While either way they’re alive
Just as much and just as surely
As they’re wasting their time
Looking for a hidden meaning
That isn’t trying to hide

So many want to leave a mark
And have a star in the concrete
And work so hard to impress
Someone they’re never gonna meet

Life's just as much like a sword
As it is like a pen
Because the point's the smallest part
And isn't found 'til the end

She tells me of love
I tell her of hate
She says it soars like a dove
I guess I'll take the bait
Her soothing voice flows over me like water
Cleansing me of the deepest of sin
A fallen angel;But I caught her
So I guess this is how these things begin
There is so much love to share
Gorgeous eyes to gaze
Flowing hair thrown back into the air
Every other suitors house to raze
I have so much more to say
God, I hope to love you more every day
tried writing a sonnet?

The waves crash the same

Two islands afar

Lone survivors hearts inflame

Eyes set on the same north star

twisted summer sun
penetrating the darkest of winter
A crumbling temple overrun
Waiting for the summer light to splinter
The Temple needed heating
Upon it the sun shines
and the past is fleeting
The stars align

The world shifts
Oceans crash
plates drift
and in a flash

I express a smile
The world has changed
It's been a while
never estranged

.
A wisp of breath
The brightest of smiles
A case of theft
A set of trials

My heart to take

Garden in my mind
Flowers in the air
Formerly blind
Eyes like Eyre

My heart to break

Hair like sunset
Beauty like light
I'll never forget
Our brilliant night

My heart taken
My palms are shaken
butterflies airborne
no longer fore-lorn
My heart is smiling, I've never met a girl like this.

She asked for something profound
and all she got was me
Lost and never found
and now she knows there will never be any "we"

So I'll fight for a rush
and you can stay in and study
But i'll never forget the sight at first blush
and I'll mark it all down to being unlucky

We'll never know
So let me show you
quid pro quo
With regards to,
*you
