When you are with me
my heart weeps with joy.
When I am alone.
My heart weeps in loneliness.
I thank the heavens,
for these emotions
and the different reasons
that causes them
"Your eyes they shine so bright
I wanna save that light" -imagine dragons
thank you
to the stranger at the station
who wished me a good day.
to the teacher who said
'i always knew you could do it'
and the one who helped me say
'goodbye' to my low self esteem.
to the sad girl with the blog
who reassured me i was not alone.
to the woman who made me
laugh and always listened
and proved that there is hope.
to the two who are always there for me:
the girl who taught me
how to live
and the boy who showed me
what true friendship really is.
to the aunt who told me
'it's okay to be you'
and the grandmother who demonstrated
how to always stay strong
and how to thine own self be true.
to the little girl with bright blue eyes
who spoke to me when i was
so alone.
you all saved my life.
thank you for being the best people
i have ever known.
i know that this is an awful poem but i felt a sudden urge to thank all the wonderful people who make me happy. i am so grateful and so lucky to have you all in my life and every single one of you on this list has saved me. thank you. i love you all.
Her lips red as blood.
Sweeter than nectar.
Passing softly against mine.
My enraptured body
turns to her in offering
as it always does.
It is compulsion not love.
If there is any difference
I can’t feel it.

Somewhere in the cosmos
A great being made her.
He made her for my torment.
Now her skin touches mine.
Melting the thin separation
Between our blood
And again we flow as one.

The night birds song
flows into the open window.
His shadow backlit by moonlight
Caresses my passions in music.
I know the music will fade.

She will leave the room silently
In the darkness.
like a thief in the night.
A thief of hearts

Existence will stretch into eons.
I weep my loss from my soul.
Then as all grieving must
It will fade.
The world will be quiet
My passions quelled.

The door will open.
And once more
she will come to me.
In her outstretched hands
my broken heart.

She ****** it into
my chest again to beat
to feel to need.
And her lips
take their domain
As always.
Most days I can go without thinking about you,

*But other days you hit me like a wrecking ball,
and I'm on the floor --
All I can feel is my heart break all over again.

why did you delete those
don't you dream of something eternal
don't you want to build good tombstone

what else are you erasing
don't you ever feel connected
don't you think you hold us now we fall apart

you realized but when would you accept
our feet covered with salt and sand
our hair the cloud and sun

keep on living
even when only bodies left
if i could i would trade your arms with mine
It was early in springtime
when you first came to me.
I had awaited the winters thaw.
in loneliness and grief.
For until that moment
I had lost you even
before we had met.
You sought my soul
with your beautiful blue eyes.
In them I saw the sun and sky
as if for the first time.
We have travelled together
through many springtime’s now.
Awaiting the familiar
green opening of buds
on the linden tree.
yet still when you gaze into me
with your beautiful blue eyes.
In them I see the sun and sky
as if for the first time.
