I live for
Those moments between a shower and sleep
Where your body aches with comfort
Tingles in numb ecstasy,
With a stomach full of hot tea
And muscles unraveled like toiletries
Backbone faltering slowly
Eyelids weighted without desire
Without wishes, guilt, regrets
I live for these nights
Where I've been satisfied by the day
And all I want is sleep.

I once asked my mother and father
If there was a way to never wake up.
Not that I wanted to die...
I just want to stay asleep.
Sleep would be
Sweet

But to sleep beside you
Sweeter.

Believe me when I speak to you.
Believe me when I say you complete me.
Believe me when I say I need you.
Believe me when I say I feel safe in your arms.
Believe me when I say things will never be the same.
Believe me when I hug you,
I don't wanna let go.
Believe me,
when you hold me,
I wish YOU'D never let me go.
Believe me when I say these words to you.
Love is all I feel for you.

I lie back
drinking in the stars
like soda
bubbles
feeling the chill
of space
that echoes the emptiness
of my arms
that beg to mimic saturns rings
encircling you
drawing you close to me
to share my night
to bathe in moonlight
naked
caressed by solar winds
like unseen lovers hands
shooting stars
trickle endlessly
through my outstretched fingers
their wishes wasted
for no where in the darkened skies
lies the heavenly body
I desire
to
call mine own

Feelings

Sometimes I wish that feelings were optional.
We choose when we use them.
Maybe down a grey pill with water,
wait for the moment our hearts stop beating.
Not literally but you get what I'm saying!
If I didn't have feelings,
do you know where I'd be right now?
Don't worry,
I don't know either.
Maybe I wouldn't love the one who hurts me,
deal with the physical and verbal abuse,
wouldn't take no for an answer.
Maybe I wouldn't be scared anymore.
Feelings get in the way of things,
they hide away
and at the moment you don't need them, they come out.
Ruining everything.
Do you ever wish that?
To be able to go along life,
feeling no pain nor worries..
Yet, it's quite obvious that,
that will never be.
Feelings are what make us human correct?
That let us fix our mistakes..
To feel.
But somtimes I can seriously say,
Feelings. ****.

With so much to do
In such little time
Again and again a problem
A problem coming repetitively with time

Even more, the issues stack up like a castle of cards
Fast to blow over, reek havoc and die

The enemy is time
The lack of time
The cruelty of time

The feeling of being overwhelmed,
Instilled into my mind,
Till it reaches a peak,
And my problems die

Full of hope, looking forward to tomorrow,

to forget the pain, and walk another mile.

for in the dark, I have survived,

Just like the thousand children of the mother Nile.

When thoughts give rise to instinct
instinct to have all the pretty things and shiny gold
food, shelter, love
organic matter is all we are
higher brain function makes us more than a squirrel?
I think not
you see, that same squirrel
dead in the road
where is his heaven
has he not contributed to the circle of life
these thoughts have my mind decomposing
despite oxygen, despite synapses firing
in the end we all just feed the Earth
intelligent life, I think does not equate more than this gift
Not really a poem but it bugs me a lot...
