I'm scared of the tears

that I don't cry

The days like this

that I don't die

I'm scared of the pain

that slips my mind

It comes back harder

than what I left behind

Die
Maybe we are any
Of two numbers
On opposite sides of a die
Constant...
I will have that.
Constant but not together.
Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again

After a day
of pondering
I flew into
a frenzy,
burning books that
couldn’t help me
and so through centuries
of love poems and stories
I blazed
wondering if this was how the
ghosts who wrote them felt
when they poured out their
souls
and I burned and
I burned and I
burned
until I came to my final
book.
A Dictionary…
And I burned that too
because in it
I could not find words to
adequately describe how you
make me feel.

Sometimes I find it hard to say
But I would love to tell you in every way
That I love you anyway.
I will always look for ways.

You cradled me in your arms
Cuddling the moon away
With each ticking second gone
This is where I'd love to stay

You gave me your eyes
Your un-faltered gaze
The usual you
Vanquishing worries of my days

Messing up your weave
I played with your hair
You were just staring
Silently sitting there

Comfortable but still heavy
A moment of silence...
Lost all control, broke the breaks
Followed by a moment of weakness

You were my favorite kiss
I've felt the warmness from you
The softest I've ever encountered
The hardest to say goodbye to

Everyone held me in the same manner
Holding me with force and desperation
Held me as if begging me to stay
Clutching me without care nor consideration

Your hands were different
You were piecing my soul together
You held me unlike those before you
You held me in a way I've only now encountered

I've felt like the most fragile being
The most important glass in the universe
You were careful and gentle with force
As if frightened that I'd shatter

But you still tried so ever to hold me
In your hands, to keep me with you
For the longest time you possibly could
For the longest that time allowed you to

We could never be and we both knew
As we exchanged laughter, painful smiles
Inexplainable looks and unforgettable gazes
We did something wrong that felt right for a while

A bid of farewell
Exchanging apologies
I encrypted behind my smile
Words which you'll never hear from me

Words unheard but undoubtedly felt
Despite of your warnings, we both knew
Regardless of the distance you tried to maintain
I still carelessly fell for you

You are my favorite kiss
Twas the most wonderful
I've ever felt in a long time
Yet, the most painful

Ending without a beginning
Overwhelmed by what ifs that I'll never forget
With your back turned towards me
You became this favorite mistake that I'll never regret
I promise you. This is the last one I'll ever write while thinking of you
