Oh, there are eyes that he can see,
And hands to make his hands rejoice,
But to my lover I must be
Only a voice.

Oh, there are ******* to bear his head,
And lips whereon his lips can lie,
But I must be till I am dead
Only a cry.
I woke up late last night
Startled by the light
One on the wall to the left of me
One on the wall to the right

I turned my head this way and that
Which made it very clear
The dawning light inside of my room
Was coming from my ears

My very first reaction
Was one of lost control
When I took my index fingers
And plugged up my ear holes

Which must have taken some effort
That really wore me out
As I inadvertently began to yawn
The light came out my mouth

The only answer to my question
I must have had a bright idea
But since I was sleeping at the time
I can't remember what it is
It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
I wasn’t supposed to fall so hard
I wasn’t supposed to call out for your arms in the night
And my lips weren’t supposed to search for yours
As if they would actually be there.
I wasn’t supposed to nuzzle into my pillow at night
pretending that your hands were nestled in my hair
I wasn’t supposed to make small talk
just so I could hypnotize myself with that something in your eyes
I wasn’t supposed to wake up cold in the gray morning
with the strong urge to be bruised and bitten
In fits of slow, languid passion.

Unreal how our bodies match and move together,
Uncanny how our minds meld and play in synch.
My youthful love for life,
Your chuckling maturity, still unsure what life is.

Now I play soft ballads full of aching, yearning,
I can wrap myself in a blanket on the floor
With a mug of tea, and think silently on you
And the shadows I wish I could conjure into existence…
They live inside, dancing to burst free from our guilty bodies
Too ethereal, too beautiful, to be abandoned
When we (artists) know we live for such wonders.

I wish I had any other option but forgetting,
or descending into madness.
(I’m currently choosing madness..?)

And it wasn’t supposed to be like this.
I wasn’t supposed to fall so hard.
I’m so sorry,
My summer love.

Written for N, and a cold morning in an empty house up Chumstick Highway.

His eyes are green.
The kind of green
that makes you question
whether or not you've
ever really looked at
the trees. His words
felt like velvet on
my tongue. The first
time he told me
he loved me I
swallowed his words whole.
I was so excited,
I didn't even save
enough room for dinner.
4 months is long enough to ruin a person
"VIRGINITY is a dignity until marriage" society taught
& I can see most of'em saving their virginity
Using their hand a lot !
In Asian society,they restrict  *** before marriage esp. girls. Though people nowadays are influnced through western culture alot.*** hasnt been an issue and for those,whom it's an issue *******. For those who have no interest WRITES POEMS. haha
