Just a few broken notes
Havran Jun 2015
I’m not sure where to go,
but I sure do have a lot to do.
If only my voice didn’t crack whenever I sang.
If only my fingers were steady when I hold a guitar.
If only my feet were coordinated as I start to drum.
If only my ears never missed a cue during a performance.
If only my hands wouldn’t stop as I wrote a song.
There’s so much I want to do,
and I’m just a normal dreamer like everyone else.
It takes both heart and mind to make good music.
You have to sing from your heart,
and you have to keep who’s listening in mind.

Her letter
Havran Oct 2015
"When I go, you will miss me very much, and this I know. I would never mean to hurt you, Darling, but I have to leave you behind as well, and the part that makes this difficult is that you will tell me to take care, even when you want me to stay."

This heart

was not ready
for lovers
who found it
easy
to walk
in
and
out
of its life.
Havran Jan 2016
"If only I could be with you by the sea,
and feel the wind on my skin
and the sand on my feet.
If only I could be with you on that shore,
helping you light up our bonfire
to keep us warm the whole night.
If only I could be with you now
and let all my troubles fade away
with
the
sunset
because you are all that is good
about today,
or tomorrow,
or even years hereafter,
for with you I am content,
for with you I am happy."

They will find a way
Havran Sep 2015
"No matter how hard you try to keep people for from the world, one way or another they will be a part of it; they will venture out. They will explore. They will find adventure. If we were to liken ourselves to birds, we too possess a yearning to be free, even if it meant leaving the safety of our cages."

Remember,

it is still only second to another,

*and that is Love.
Don't you ever forget that :)

Their Time Apart
Havran Jun 2015
He swore to keep her name close to his heart
No matter how far they might drift apart.
But sadly she will never know
*For fate did not permit her so.
Havran Sep 2015
"Meeting you
is a life event
that shifted
all
world tendencies
toward you.
There is darkness,
and there is light,
and yet
both
converge
in your direction.
Your love
could unravel
all my broken
pieces,
or mend them
back together,
and no matter
the aftermath,
I will stay.
As long as
your love
is with me.
As long as
your love
is with me."

Foolish Heart
Havran May 2015
Yearning for your love that will always be true,
Offering these words as a memory of you.
Under the light of the ever-watchful moon,
Affectionately wishing that I'll be with you soon.

Reminiscing of the times when we were together,
Every moment of it all made me feel so much better.
Maybe someday I'll find the right words to say,
You are my only one, and may you never go away.

Surprising me with every little thing that you do,
Uttering your words that are as sweet sa honeydew.
Never wanting to see me down and alone,
Singing me to sleep in your lovely caring tone.

Here in my thoughts, a sweet surrender.
If only this moment could last forever.
Now that we're close, I won't ever let you go.
Eyes that tell me, of a wonderful tomorrow.

A little while ago, you gave me a promise,
For the one thing that you'll never want to miss.
To be with me, no matter how far apart we are,
Even if you're gone, we'll be wishing on the same star.

Rendering me speechless with your sweet caress,
Through the sound of your voice, I have to confess.
Here in your arms is where I want to stay,
Endlessly caring for you, in every single way.

Reaching out to a photo of you and me,
And smiling at how the two of us were meant to be.
Inside my room, I end this one short note.
Not even sleepy, hope you'll like what I wrote.
:)
Havran Jun 2015
You are not weak.
The very fact that you are reading
these lines right now
is proof that you have
survived
until
this
very moment.
There will be scars,
and pain,
and heartache,
but believe me
when I tell you
that you were born
for better days.
True happiness
isn’t born of luxury.
It exists in us all,
and everything
around us.
There are people
who hate the Sun
when they feel its
warmth upon the ground,
yet if they set
their eyes to the sky
would some witness
the canvas of a world
that it’s helping
you to see.
There are those
who spend
their whole lives
screaming at
the universe
to notice their existence,
but this world is already
fine as it is,
and it is the chaos
within ourselves
that hinders us
from noticing.
Find
what makes
your insides sing,
and what sets
your soul on fire.
For you are
a living
celestial body,
and the key
to the universe’s
treasures
was already
within you
from the beginning.

From within
the confines
of his
solitary
dwelling,
the Raven
gazes outward
through
barred
windows.
The sky is
but
a
distant
memory
now;
the warden
has him
under lock
and key.
His
wings
have long
since atrophied,
he misses
the sand,
the wind,
the cerulean sea.

Lines
Havran Sep 2015
"If each of us are tiny dots in the vast expanse of the universe, then perhaps we leave lines wherever we go. And these lines, they intersect with other lines, and that’s how we’re all connected. All of us. Living under the stars,
making our own maps, creating our own trails."

Voluntary.
Havran Apr 2022
Don’t force yourself.
You don’t have to.
It’s a bother.

…It’s not.

You’re the one I’ve been waiting my whole life for,
I can wait an hour or two or even twenty more.
Rest your head on my chest, I’ll take care of the rest.
A thousand miles means nothing when you love me best.

I’ll hold both your hands through the storm,
and sing lullabies to you to keep your heart warm.
Make you breakfast in bed, with forehead kisses on your head.
Not a single word of love will I dare leave unsaid.

To you do I give my most willing surrender.
For I love you most, may you always remember.

She is splendid,
even
in
simplicity,

squandered
the very gift

All your life,
seeking

yearning
instead
of
being
and
staying
in Love.

You are *blessed

by The Cosmos of coincidences
that finally led up
to your meeting,
You are blessed
to have been called
Love.

What have you done?
Do these words reach you now?

Embrace me

Keep me in your Dawn.
