The secret here
Is not one you can figure out.
It is not palpable, and it is never here at the right time.
It is something that you will stumble upon when it seems like you need it the least.
But if you find it,
but if you focus on it,
but if you dont let it leave your mind,
Then you will see
that
everything will fall into place.

High beyond the thick wall a tower shines with sunset
Where peach and plum are blooming and the willowcotton flies.
You have heard in your office the court-bell of twilight;
Birds find perches, officials head for home.
Your morning-jade will ****** as you thread the golden palace;
You will bring the word of Heaven from the closing gates at night.
And I should serve there with you; but being full of years,
I have taken off official robes and am resting from my troubles.

my best inspiration
is you
           i look into your deep eyes (always greyblueblack)
and i know

that the red carnations
you gifted to me
                 meant much more
than i love you

because you've already told me this
                                             countless times.
The red carnations

didn't mean I love you.

The red carnations

meant



You are so beautiful

                                      because
                                        I don't always

                                        hear it
                                                             enough.

When you feel nothing at all
It can’t be real
You have to feel something, haven’t you?

But what if pain is too hard to take?
What if there are no more tears to cry?
What if you could hear your heart break?

You move on
Day by day – night by night
Like a ghost
Hoping no-one would pay attention

One day – you know –
You can feel again
Your heart will grow
When you stop the pain

Freedom,
a word used so loosely
to describe our lives.
When no other can tell,
we are trapped in our own demise,
hiding from the fate,
"we so choose".

Ones fate is not chosen,
in the hands of the holder.
Actions made blindly,
to achieve self-peace,
becomes the sentence of our fate.
A single word,
hesitation,
changing your world completely,
becomes the holder of your fate.

I hesitated.
Yes, I admit it.
That one moment,
could have changed it all...

Lovely...
Lovely couldn't describe it
The way my heart melts when I'm with you
When I hold your delicate, soft, little hands
My mind shatters
All I can think is...Lovely...
Lovely...

Lonely
Lonely couldn't describe it
The way my heart shatters when I'm without you
When a tear drops from my face...along with many more
My life shatters
All I can be is...Lonely....
Lonely...

Lovely
Lovely couldn't describe it
Words or volumes alike
Nothing could describe it
What I feel when I melt inside your arms
All I can think is...Lovely...
But lovely couldn't describe it

The door shuts
Cars stop
People stop moving
As the world is plunged into absolute silence.

Mines don’t explode
Tanks sit still
Guns not fired
As the war is plunged into absolute silence.

Birds stop chirping
Clouds aren’t moving
Water stops flowing
As nature is plunged into absolute silence.

The world is silent
And I know why
This is what happens
When music stops
..….Silence……

Love can make you deaf
and love can make you blind
love can make you take your friends
and leave them all behind

Love can lift you up
and love can bring you down
love can make you sink or swim
or wish that you had drowned

Love can make you happy
and love can make you blue
in spite of all these pro's and cons
I still fell in love with you
