Jack Mandala May 2017
the morning dew on the trees, the cackling fire complementing the starry sky, the radiant smile on a lover's face, this is where the meaning in life is.

every laugh, every smile, every tear leads to a greater message

we were born on this planet to feel, to share, to create

accept the sorrows and ride the road of discontentment, but understand you still have control of the wheel

take your gifts and passions and soar to heights greater than any skyscraper

don't concern yourself with the lives of others, as eavesdropping into their activities takes time away from investing in the most important person: yourself

most importantly, take your past highlights and stretch them into a reel long enough to produce a hollywood film, but don't concern yourself with the critics

You
A simple phone call back is all it takes

The slightest sign of life you show me will fuel mine for the next week

Please just one date is all that I need

As I leap from the ship of "*******" and onto "adult"

Catch me before I fall into *no mans land
I hope I don't fall

A drop of kindness can be enough to fill a lake with joy
The chain reaction is enough to link our whole world together

If we embrace the beauty and disregard the faults
Life will be one long joyride

Removing the societal implications
Gives us the wings necessary to soar to great heights

All my life I have waited for the one companion to make my life complete
My other half, yearning to be complemented

But time has proven I need a new way to fill the gap
A way not as pretty and pure

Constant affairs in rotation like a clock
As if every one is the same song with a different melody

Rather than fill my heart with the compassion it needs
I have rendered it useless
Maybe some day things will change

My Love
She's a one of a kind with a beautiful mind
She brings the meaning to my rhymes

It almost seems too good to be true
To run into an angel like you
<3

As I am writing this spree of poems I must confess
You are the only one I want to caress

My nights are long and cold without you
Memories drawn and dull without you

I am the painter and you are the canvas
Just sit back and let me paint what others can't of us
I'll always care for you no matter what you do to me
Jack Mandala Nov 2016
The sensation beaming from your majestic body is impeccable

The way you carry yourself has put me in a trance

The spell you have cast upon me cannot be broken

*I am lost
Don't change one thing about you babygirl
