Love her like
She's the raging sea,
Unrestrained and dark and deep.
And you crave her touch
Through aching pores
As you slowly drown in sleep.

Love her like
She's the tender storm,
A lovely shade of grey.
Like with every whiff
Of breath she takes,
She's taking yours away.

Love her like
She's the silent clouds
With calmness floating by.
Like you'd want to make
Sweet love to her
Under the moon's apocalyptic eye.

Love her like
She's the blazing fire,
And you lust the candied pain.
Like she's the disease
That swallowed you whole
And you'd like to die again.

When her gentle touch
Makes your chest explode,
And your addiction is your girl.
Promise you'll love her
Through hell and back,
Or don't you dare love her at all.

About twelve months ago we walked the highland
That place where eagles soar
This time it's going to be different
As I open yet another of natures doors
Stout boots, flask of soup and camera
The only things you'll need
Maybe a sandwich or two if you get hungry for a feed
Now you must place your trust in me
For we go not by man made paths
We're going to follow the paths that nature made
And those paths aren't so wide
And so we leave the car park
Enter winters dank dark woods
Doesn't look that inviting
But I promise it will be good
The meandering path we follow
To you might not be so clear
But this path we've chosen
Is the one used by the deer
See that little cloven hoof print?
Well it points the way to go
More pointed at the front
From the size it was a doe
Stop for a moment and leave the path
Drag your boots through the rotting vegetation
Then step back, wait for the show
See I told you and it has appeared as if on que
The brilliant red breast robin has shown up just for you
He's got brains, he knows that when you stir the leaves
For you have done the work for him
Now he can have a feed
I could go on about all the other birds and animals you can see when you step off the beaten path but I don't want to write about 50/60 more lines

Hundreds of thousands of words Shouting
How can I Call you

So deep darkness all around
How can I See you

But Red Sun rises in your sky
How can I See it

Your are in full of dreams
How can I dream your dreams in My eyes

But Still,

The Words
That can say Your say

The Darkness
Forced to see the Light

The Red Sun
May expand my horizons

And your Dream
May birth to another dream in me


Yet I can't bring you

In my known tune
In my own room
In my known rhythm
In my known traverse

Yet I speak your words,
Sing your song
Days Passing to wait
Nights passing through dreams-

Poetry is like fresh water
Quenching the thirsty soul
Once placid lake, the heart
Every word creates a ripple
Moving me to the core
My feelings and emotions
Travel with the soft wavelets
Arousing my fascination
Sweet as nectar
The creativity pond
Plunging in poetry everyday
To taste the fresh sweetness
Of poetic water
Being on this island
Surrounded by the words
Where I can take a swim
In any weather
An eternal source of joy
Where I can drown
To rejuvenate myself

Before you, I was ready to die.
I didn't hate my life, but I didn't love it.
I was just kind of here.

Then you entered my life.
Every night I prayed that I would get to live forever with you.
I loved life more than I thought possible because you were there.

Now that you've left me for dead, I'm ready to die again.
I pray every night that God would take me home,
Let me leave this living Hell and go to paradise.
Because right now I have nothing to live for.
You took everything I had, and then some.
I'm ready to die now, but don't feel bad about it.
Its not your problem, just be happy my dear.

I want to write your words on my skin
So that they can be fully absorbed
And with me forever.
A creepy one xD

You are my rhyming couplet,
Or maybe more sometimes,
Something a little deeper,
Like that small internal rhyme.

You are my iambic meter,
Di dum, di dum, di dum,
Our stanzas are identical,
Our rhythms in unison.
Something I'm sure she'll understand ♥

If we held an embrace under our favourite tree
would the moon kiss our eyes and make them see,
silver banners and sparkles in the mist
all of the darkness is turning sunkissed,
we'll dance our waltz under the crystal shards
amongst the ruins of our house of cards
twisting and twirling on the hands of time
as the bells on the clock start to chime,
peppermint tears over a turquoise sea,
promise you the world under our favorite tree.

Breathing

Who knows if it’s easier to breathe through your mouth or through your nose
Through the nose I smell your sweet scent
I can memorize the sweet, trace my fingers through the depths of your collar bones
Follow your heartbeat with the tapping of my fingers on your chest
Through the mouth I can breathe you in
Your kiss is more intoxicating than any liquor I've ever remembered tasting
I find myself craving you in moments where I know you won't be there
Who knows if it's easier to breathe through your mouth or through your nose
With you, it does not matter
Not that it ever really did
