Love, in the face of adversity, never withers
That's why my stress lightens up when I'm with her’s
She consistently thanks me and says I'm too good to her
Yet it will always be that there could be so much more that can occur
Dedication has become my main moral in our relationship
I strive to show this value the moments we connect our lips
It would take an infinite amount of bullets to shoot our home down—the foundation is solidified
And if it all came apart, our hearts would still forever be building each other with every stride
So now I must ask....where shall we go next?
Someplace in our dreams; somewhere complex?
If you aim for a clear target, I will not object
For love is the simplest thing to feel, now that I sit back and reflect

Movin’ past the chatter like,
“What does it even matter?”
They predict my fate like I’m my own guest
Then they get lost in the ordinary with the rest
Greatness attracts impact
The crash I made left nothing intact

Wanderer
Is it the words whispered
in secret corridors
i love you

are they proclaimed boldly
from roof tops
I LOVE YOU

Or maybe love
sounds like laughter
giggles shared only between two

what if love has no noise
its beauty is similar to a sunset
seen and felt
but never heard

My grandpa
             Words he gave
                            To me once upon a full moon
“Son” he said
            “When you go into this life”
“Remember, that love is a language “
             “So find, my son, find someone”
                     “Who speaks your language “
      “So you don’t have to translate your soul”
                                   Hmmm.

The sand shifts beneath your feet,
Your heart relaxes to a quiet beat,
The waters seem to breathe day and night,
Close your eyes take it in do not fight,
The wind satisfies your soul,
Just relax now you've played your role,
Touch the sand now scoop it up,
Hold it in your hands and form a cup,
Now let it seep through towards the sandy ground,
Your soul was lost but now its found,
The weather you desire will come your way,
Just stand closer to the bay,
Soon life will be eternal for you and me,
Look beyond the ocean and tell me what you see.

A friend of mine told me
I write when I’m sad
She said it is as if I am in pain
And I said when I write it rains
When I put the pen on paper the clouds get dark
And when I stop
The birds of the sky sings
Coming out to play as the sun is out
