So i break my walls
To hell with problems.

With made up thoughts and
Bottled up brooding

All but time have gone
And moments wasted

So i decided
That i dont need this

All i need is you
It is my reason
And im choosing you
Over my logic.

Am I a ripple
            among the waves?
As they
                 roar
         and
                 clash
among the shores,

And in amidst the
fleeting
                                 sound,
Is where
                  I
        Have been laid
               To rest...

you "take" me for a ride,
to your sweet mystery i cannot decode,
leaving me wanting for more,
of the adrenaline-pack adventures with you.

you "give" me strength,
to my weakness i no longer hold,
for you show me that i can do more,
to this life once rigid and loose.

you "made" me change,
from the specter i was with myself,
to the man i now wanted to be,
that is exuberant and defined as ever.

and i "hope" that you'd see,
that i learned love from you.
letting me realize,
there's more than what's in the heart.

that you, "take' someone in
and "give" all you've got,
and you "make" a change out of it,
in "hopes" that someone loves you back.

risking yourself for the one
who you wanted to be with.

Arise



                   Across the skies

        As it shines
                             Upon your skin
                        Withdrawn

                            Amazed
                 By a scene
                                     so bright

How i long for
An embrace
So
Warm


So tight

I am a drifter
By unfamiliar dwellings,
And leaving pieces
Of this shattered heart.

But i am sorry
For giving the slightest bit,
Hoping you could have
Made a completely new one.

I've
Broken
Trust
A
Hundred
Times
That
I
Made
It
Again
.
Within
The
Pain
I
Inflicted
Is
A
Night
Ill
Suffer
Over
And
Over
Again
.
And
Now
She
Flies
Like
A cauliflower
In
The
Wind
.
So
The
Last
Thing
Ill
Say
Before
She
Glides
Away
.
I
Love
You

Ill
Let
The
Wind
Carry
You
Where
It
Takes
You
.
Cuz
I
Dont
Think
That
The
Present
Itself
Is
Going
To
Heal
Us
.
But
Will
Take
A
Lifetime
To
Recover
From
The
Wound
Ive
Caused.

You have a way of lighting up the darkest nights.
Making it mysterious
With A hint of magic I cannot grasp.
You lustre in your brilliance leaving me enamoured

Your reflection is binding.
Your shades and all your colours
Are perfect yet with flaws, so fearful yet fearless.
You are the enchantment to my searching soul.

The way you move through the darkening night sky
Is as elegant and graceful as the calm waters beneath you
Bringing awe and wonder to those who witness.

With stars in your embrace spreading
Through your finger tips
Like torches that shine wide
Lighting the Earth giving them warmth without burning

Though so near as my eyes allow me to see you,
You are far to hold for myself
And all I could do is just dream to reach out

But a thousand mile between us
Holds no barriers to the one I seek
For as long as I have you in the night sky
No other shall I pursue but you…

Circumstance have managed,
To settle at the right place
And meet us in flawed timing.

Although weve only met twice,
Entwined between distances
On Both ends of the same space.

Faith made it significant,
Making pieces of moment
Engraved within those seconds.

But the moon has made distress,
And although the instances,
Have quite been admirable,
It faded like the eclipse.

So for the sake of the blue,
I'll wait another miracle.
To find
Not twice
Nor thrice
But a hundred times
Even if it cost me life
For a once in a blue moon You.

— The End —
