I was told when you meet her you will know
it's true now I've felt your glow
I never want to let you go
and yet the more I draw you close
the more you pull away
that's what hurts the most
why won't you stay?

Like hourglass sand
trickling through the fingers of my hand
wasted time that's past
for nothing in this life lasts
so lets hold onto what's special
as tomorrow could be celestial
let me be your lasting breath
or forever live in regret
as I watch your sunset.

Life is wasted on the youth
as only experience reveals the truth
that time only marches forward
so forget the moments that were awkward
forget all the stupid arguments
the silly little accidents
the thoughtless carelessness
because love is permanent.

Some call them the one
because they are comparable to no one
and yet one is singular
but love is all encompassing
from the moment it's begun
till there's no more sun
Love transcends time and space
it forgets blame and disgrace
disregards gender or race.

Love is long suffering
for it endures all things
not just the good days
but also the bad
not only the praise
but also the sad
and so I still pray
no longer for me
but so you can see
that you can experience
loves warm glow
then you will be fearless
then you will know.
I kept all
The pictures we had
And the things you gave
In a box and labeled it
Forever.

I was hoping someday
I'll open it without pain
With happiness and the love left
Or the love that came back
*Or the love that has always remained.
Finally. <3
Silly, you fell asleep with your make up on again.

Here I sit, admiring you, it's one A.m.

My laundry tumbles

I stumble over my words

as I gaze longingly upon you.

My flower, in full bloom

My mid day sun

My full moon

My love

Perhaps soon I can fall asleep

But knowing these are the last hours I'll see you for a week

I'm sure I'll be up stroking your cheek and chin.

I'll feel as if my hearts back home

And my body's on vacation.

I love you so much

I love you

I love

*you
gray clouds cover the moon
creating the dark of night
all his fears screamed of their
pain with all of their might
while the howling wind
penetrated his soul
to its hollow core
as he failed to take a breath
the feeling of nausea came
with his fear of death

I'd light a deep
orange
candle, draw
back the curtains,
let the moon
beams
tip-toe
in

I'd be hopeless,
longing,
yearning
for the touch of
your white
skin-

I'd be pulling up
the covers,
quilts,
the pillows and their
feathers

That's what I
would do
If it were to
rain
forever

Tonight, your
hands
are singing the
piano,

and the fading
stars of
blue float
in the night

and my silly
heart
resists falling
like a feather-
gravity,
    gravity,

          a

who are you in
the white light
of fluorescent bulbs and
reverie
that manages to
pull me into orbit?

You can see that
I'm a meteor who
cannot find
her ground-

So in my hectic
flight,
my chaotic dance
within the
black,
I'm going to
trace patterns
on your
music-hands
piano-hands
your planetary
solar hands
and try to be
your
satellite
Run with the wild
Oh inner lost child
Flee 'till your heart's on the brink

Travel the stars
From the dash of cars
Hold your breath not to blink

Stellar waves of rhymes
Crashing through time
Abandoning ships once we sync

The eye within our minds
So bloodshot sublime
On the thin ice of a galactic ice rink...

I've been the one who was believed
too where I am you can not reach

way below in your eyes
yet, so above
passed the sky

how long are you going to hold this lie?
probably until the day you die.

So go on without a single word
you've always been so absurd

you know yourself
"like you know me."

a demon in mind
  yet, with a conscience
I'm free.
