I just can't get the curl right
on that question mark
and my straight line
is more of a straight curve

But look at those words
that are forming pictures
in your beautiful mine
that's my kind of drawing

I trip but not in the physical sense
and my mind stutters phrases of unthinkable
from pillows and water
to smiles and ice cream
which is the best

My lips meet yours
magic is happening
I'm the luckiest person in the world
it's a short kiss
but I've only just started kissing you

Our finger tips are barely touching
your hand is slipping away
I love you's fill the air
you're walking inside
but I've only just started saying hello

Another page is turned
a final period is placed
the book was amazing
my favorite
but I've only just started reading it

Didn't I hit the note wrong
or use incorrect grammar
yet here are praises
for what but the wrong thing?

Weren't you offended by my sarcasm
and don't you want to yell at me?
but here I am
walking away free

Aren't you tired?
of reading my ****** poetry
yet there you are
holding my notebook....

Maybe I'm wrong
about being wrong
and we all are right
about being ourselves

It hurts me when you say,
that no one will ever stay.
Coz when the day turns to night,
I will be the moon, your light.

They say “People come and go”.
So I’m here to let you know.
I will prove them wrong
and sing with you every song.

I will dance to every step;
all the secrets will be kept.
I will not let you go,
until all deserts bear snow.

No matter what happens,
your darkness, I will lighten.
My back will only turn,
if the sun will cool its burn.

I run to drown out fear
and to block out pain
no I do not run from them
I run for them

I run for heartbreaks
and nightmares
that cannot stop me
for I run

I run from love
and hate
because you cannot know one
without the other

I believe
in words and what they stand for
but not why they are used

I believe
in fire and the way it burns
but not the pain it causes

I believe
in love and how it feels
but not living without it

I believe
in hope and the way to trust it
but not in hope itself

I believe
in socks and how they cover feet
but not the heat they're suppose to provide

The sun rising
is one of the most
beautiful sights that
may ever exist but
somehow your eyes
beat it with their beauty
and swirls of color

The cool waters
of a running river
is the most peaceful
sounds ever and yet
here I am listening
to your voice and
disagreeing with it

If a nap makes
you live longer
than a nap with you
must make me live
for eternity because
that's what it must be
like with you

No one knows where they're going
or how they're getting there at all
because all they know
is the path they've taken so far
and how oh so wonderful
it has been

Smile hard and wide
because you never know
which will be your last
and that is the most
fearful thing
in the world

Pass on the joy
before it ever turns to sorrow
because a laugh is much better to see
than that
loved ones tears
running free
