I'm absolutely terrified.
Theres no way it could work.
But that reality won't stop,
My heart from melting whenever I see you.
I'm falling for you.
For her to breathe
I must tap
              tap
                  tap
The rhythm of her soul
As I ****** her blood
Through
her
tiny
veins
And ignite her mind
I am the fuel
Of her life
The engine
To her
frail frail frame
That carries her
HEAVY
HEAVY
HEART
Oh she is light
She is beauty
But she cries
And I must bring her rain
That flows like the acid
In her stomach
To a porcelain dish
That twists
          turns
And lies
I allow her salt
To pour
For I cannot
STOP
Or she will close
those hazel eyes
And sleep in white
Singing in silence
So I run
          run
            run
For her spirit
is freedom
so I must keep going
I provide
I love
She is mine
I am hers
So let us dance
In her sorrow
And sleep in her truth
I can feel your heartbeat a mile away
The faint memory makes me smile
For if only I could must the courage today
To face what I've not faced in a while

The bravest of men fall at their hands
In midst of the magnificent splendor
The hopes for which we could understand
Will only further my ignorant candor

I too cannot sleep in this cold night
Alone and waiting for something to arrive
Do you hear the voices and their plight
For it is my heart that cannot survive

When the bells ring their custom sounds
To sounds of the nothing to come
I will soothe my hearts lonely rounds
For this kind of fate is only meant for some

Someone help me get out, get out of this cage.
The space around me getting tighter, filling up with rage.
Everything is held inside; bottled up, pushed down deep.
All the bad, all your mad; let it in, let it seep.
People come and people go, trying to find the key.
People come and people go, trying to set me free.
Their efforts are to no avail, and locked inside I'm becoming frail.
Oh how I wish I could escape, this cage I did create.
Love is patient
Love is gentle and kind
True Love is never near-sighted or blind

It never boasts
It never brags
It doesn't matter
If your in riches or rags

Love is not rude
It does not say, "Me!, Me!, Me!"
When two become one its,  "We!, We!, We!"

Love is not easily angered
It keeps no records of ugly words & wrongs
It only cries out, "How Can We Make It Strong!"

It does not dance with darkness
But serenades the light
To grow stronger is its only appetite

Love always protects
Always hopes and trust
True Love, will never rot or rust

It always perseveres
Through life's storms of thorns & nails
Because, True Love Never Fails.

I painted you in shades of blue and hung you up to dry
But by morning you had faded and
Your eyes didn’t shine.

She Hare
A Sultan set out on a journey one week,
when back to his harem he did sneak.
It startled his wives,
who scrambled for their lives
and let out a terrified sheik.
Crystal, pearls, roses  on a  gold line.
Jewelry makes you shine all day and night.
Glow in the dark stars, hanging  in the galaxy wanting
to  wished on in endless time.
Oh crystal, pearls, roses   you are my goddess hanging above on a gold
line.  
You are the most gorgeous thing , I seen in my nights.
.    I fell and scattered, shattered
into a thousand pieces
across the room,
and laid, waiting
     for someone to put me back together.

No one came, but it’s all the same:
     Mended or not
     I’m now cracked
     and incapable
of holding anything inside.
