To love you breathes an art.
Your body is the canvas my hands yearn to paint.
The sculpted shape of your form is something I’ve only known dreams of.
Kissing you is like my lips have met the stars.
Hearing you sigh sounds like the sand rejoicing for another wave.
Seeing you looks like the first flower bud in spring.
Embracing you is like the pleasure a horizon feels in receiving a sunset.
To love you breathes an art.

Hello Haley
You were the key who tried to open my lock but it wouldn't budge
You tried so hard but ended up getting stuck
Now we're together but we both feel so numb
And now my key that fits has found another one

They're stuck in this pain that we know so well
We'll never know how it feels to be happy
Or to be out of this hell

We are chained together
We will never be free
Because we only have one lock and key
Only one to show us what love can be

he gave me a christmas present today.
a coffee cup and some toys.
sounds childish, but i really
appreciate anything that
lights up and sings.

he came next to me and said,
"i have a gift for you."
i walked next to him and
he put in it my hands and said,
"everyone deserves toys, even
when they're a bit older."
and smiled so wide.

i looked up at him and said,
" thank you. thank you so much."
and opened up my arms because
this time i would be the one who
embraced him.

i honestly didn't want to let go.
he makes me feel safe.
he is what home should feel like.
he is a wonderful and lovely person.
and i just cannot get enough of him.

Numb tongues
Pouring hearts
I'd say I'm leaving but my feet can't start

Holy water
Drowning dry
I'd produce an ocean but I just can't cry

Lover, Lover
Leave me here
And if I'm sad enough I will disappear

Hidden ropes*
Now cut me free
I'm a trailing kite so  leave me be

Hello Haley
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is the feeling that makes you blind

Love is beautiful
Love is unique
Love is something that will make you bleed

So guard your heart
Let it love slow
Because your heart can't take too harsh of a blow

i just want to dance on your lap
and hear the butterflies flit
and sing in your ear
about how much i want you.
oh dear, i want to kiss your neck
tug on your hair softly
and leave you wanting more.
tiger, i want you to kiss my lips
and taste the love that pours
out of me constantly.
i want you to want me.

i want you to feel my heart,
my hips, my eyes, my lips...
i want you to know me
and my brain, and my curves, and my voice...
i want you to want me.

i need you to need me
like a school needs kids or a
like a flower needs sunlight.
i want you to trust me
like how you trust her
with your 'everlasting love'
i want you to love me
not just in bed, but in our lives.
i want you to show me you care.
show me please dear god just show me

show me.
i'm begging you.

society said no;
      i let go.
think about this for a second: some of you may not understand this but once the pressures of society become to much, you just cant handle it in anymore. when i said "i let go" i really mean of life. i stop trying to hold onto the thread i had. thats what i mean. thanks x

Oh no, this is not some silly love letter.
This is not a letter about proclaiming my
school girl feelings and fantasies.
Oh no, this is so much more than that, my dear.
You are one of the things that dare to make me happy.
But, not the kind of happy that you would think of.
When I think of you, the happiness you bring to me is a
kind of comfort. I feel so laid back, yet excited, yet really,
really in love.

I mean, you also bring me sadness.
When I'm around you I feel at home.
When I am not around you,
I know I'll see you soon.
The sadness you bring me is fleeting.
But, it is only because I know you will
never love me back.

Like I said, you are my Christmas morning.
But, you are also my New Year's Eve.
The fleeting moment, the fireworks, and good laughs.
I could keep going, but why should I?

You will never see these poems anyways.
I have written hundreds of poems about you,
and you will never know how I truly feel.

And if you do know, then I am so, so sorry.
It is not fair to you, nor me.

But I simply cannot help myself.
You are my everything.
