Every good thing shall happen...

like Friday nights and party rush
surprise calls from a long-time crush
auburn leaves and a cup of tea
cozy couch and a good movie
a sweet embrace, granted wishes
locked up hands, friendly kisses
perfect music, fireworks galore
passionate poetry, books in store
skinny-dipping, pineapple juice
mountaineering, romantic cruise
stick-it notes and scented letters
white rose petals and silver glitters
dusty slip-on and faded pantaloons
sweetened berries and tasty prunes
smooth raps and slow rock hits
magnetic charm and awesome wits
11:11 verses and chicken bones
starry night skies, pebbles and stones
a perfect score, crispy pizza crust
locks and highlights, passionate lust
skirts and pumps, pictures of us
Halloween treats and wedding fuss
hot cappuccino, jam and jelly
first paycheck, winning the lottery
chocolate mousse, ice cold drinks
ocean waves, seductive winks
silk and laces, laughs after cries
cool car drifting and belly butterflies
left hand scribbles, messy hair buns
Oakley goggles and water guns
funny jokes, late night talks
rainy days, twilight walks
flickering lights, vintage cars
logs in swamps and monkey bars
a hopeful daybreak, latte aroma
fogged up glasses, squeaky veranda
carnation in bloom, warm summer breeze
slow love-making, trimmed cypress trees
naughty kiddie play, blindfolds and tricks
mistletoe and acorns, fresh and fancy kicks
baked salmons and grilled corn
ending fights and a newborn
free-verse poetry, an orchestral song
a stranger's smile, a dancing throng
finishing a novel, Luna's glow
binding friendships, December snow

but the best thing for me, I'd like you to know
is to tell you finally that I Love You So.

Walls And Questions Thereof

What did I tell myself?
What did I make myself believe?
I guess it's nothing but a lie
I guess it's just the reason that I die.

Where did this lead me to?
Why do reasons just come and go?
I never opened a door for fright
I might just hurt the one who tries.

Was it a nice beginning I tend to cut?
Well, now a bitter ending never meant to last
Indeed, a lesson I refuse to learn
I built my walls out of a raging storm.

Rundown

Sometimes,
when I think of all the happy times in my life
I never fail to go back to the days when I was with you
When I felt really sure of how the days would go by
As I have you here
As I see you near
As we come close to what's good and real
At least, just the way it seemed.
But now I know it's over
You're never coming back anymore
As you always would back then
When I'd slip away
Tell you "I'm okay"
And try not to look back
As you try to whisper "I'm here to stay."
But things, I know, have changed
And I know how it all became strange
I let you go
Feeling all that we both know
It has turned both our lives
To something we never realized
Because I did walk away
From what could really make me okay
Now I can't get back on track
'Cause I know, I know
You're never coming back.

She's Just A Child

She'd flip her hair on your sun-burnt face
and giggle when you get ******
or maybe laugh at your flimsy jokes
but still, she'll kiss your pursed lips.

She might hang your wet socks by the pane
and let the world see its holes
or turn your tumblers into colorful vases
but surely she'll put an "I love you" note.

She could paint your wheels with pink and purple
and put sand in your costly sneaks
or surely annoy you with her singing voice
but she'll sing like you are the lyrics.

She would bring you overly toasted buns
the ones she did for about three hours
and open the windows to let the rays in
as she jumps on your bed to touch your skin.

She'll be putting pebbles on your doorstep
but surely you will just know
'cause her scent leaves on her trail
like a flower in summer glow.

She might just grow tired doing stuff
trying to put a big smile on your face
but just like a child, you'll see her there
an angel calmly sleeping in your place.

Fear

Fear.

I thought it was right
to feel such for too much
that I deny every opportunity
to have a thousand guts and try.

Fear.

It's all that has caused me
to lose a chance to be better
to face it all and save myself
from my own stupid downfall.

Fear.

Sometimes, I wish I don't have to
but I know it's all I had to do
and in trying I know I'll learn
but I let the moment burn.

Fear.

I could've been who I wanted
but it seemed I'm just so weak
to toss a coin and step on a thorn
growing up with a lame defeat.

Fear.

I should've dared to ask
if it's a thing I'd be glad to know
if it's something so wonderful
but my if's were merely oh.

Fear.

I'd like to let it show
out in the open, all, behold!
but just like the other fools
I stayed behind the door.

Fear.

I believe life is so much greater
when we just have to believe
but doubts cloud up my messy mind
to let go or let my heart beat.

Fear.

I knew I have loved him
I knew I felt him there
but since I am this fearful
apparently, I lost him instead.

Waiting

I don't know how to
touch your heart
or create an art
bring you the sun
or spill some fun
stop the rain
or heal your pain
but I know
someday
we'll know.

I don't know how to
kiss you so sweet
or sweep you off your feet
crawl up to bed
or make me stay in your head
touch you with passion
or ****** with an action
but I bet
together
we're off and set.

I don't know how to
to bring the perfect words
into a perfect poetry
or heal your deepest wounds
with my sweetest melody
an excitement for a night
with subtle sensitivity
but what is only known
to someone like me
I will always be waiting
til the sun meets the sea.

To The Ones...

Here's to the girls
who loved so real, but failed to say
just what they mean, 'cause they were scared
of how they feel, but let it take
a part of them, still.

Here's to the guys
who tried to say just what they feel
but failed to do, 'cause doubt subdued
thinking they might only be rejected
dropping off, they chose to forget.

Here's to the ones
who could have been one
but backing down, they both went on alone
giving up on hope and passion and love,
things went wrong, no one tried harder
Love is strong, but pride got stronger.
