The color of your hair
So perfectly represented in the warmth of your calloused skin
Your heavy fingers
So briefly intertwined with mine
But at the glances of the herd
And the compaints that go unheard
You let me go
So what's to show?
Except the beating of my heart
And some of your warmth
Left over in my hands

Maybe love's just a song
That isn't in my key
Maybe love is wrong
And the world has lied to me
Maybe love's a privilege
And I've been misbehaving
Maybe love is money
I'm good at spending, not saving

If you could see this
I'd like to see your face
If you could read this
I'd let you plead your case
If you could see me
Perhaps you'd change your tune
If you could see me
I might see you soon
I wanted to start something small with her.
Some lasting conversation with nothing in between.
A long drawn out process with nothing of missed opportunities
or fantastic feelings
but with the two of us just speaking.
I figured it would be easy.
but you never responded
And I was stuck with myself again.
Introvert as i am, i loose myself
Go against my own rules
think of the missed and the lost with no remorse
But where was I?
what i searched for was the thing that started us.
and i call her my lost.
unimportant for me to do so.
She means nothing to me. And I mean it.
Hell, our whole thing is meant to be easy.
Lies.
but I love to think it is.
The key to
following
the possibilities
for
love:
you will be giving
the good
sweet
months,
the current summer,
to ensure that
you
check
your
next step.

Send me
into
the perfect way
to find out what adventures we'll have.

Where we play,
sacrifices were made.
I picked out words from each email in my inbox, a little variation of traditional blackout poetry :) Hopefully it worked...enjoy!
music is many things
it is invisible
untangible
nonexistent
but so powerful
coursing through your veins with every
beat
with every
measure
emotions, spilling through the air
butterflies, soaring through your soul
it's aggressive and loving
it's violent and gentle
it's painful and soothing
it's hideous and beautiful
it's me
it's you
it's all of us
music is
we are
seperate
unique
alone
but one.
A silence with you
Is not
a silence

But a moment rich
with peace
Swollen hearts
Searching eyes
Let me believe
A beautiful lie.

I want you.
I want truth.
I want love.

Always
What I can't have.

Oh, sweet Luna,
Liven my sea.
Bring your love
Back to me.

Pure rays of life
To my green heart,
Without such light,
All falls apart.

Hard lips
Cold touch.
Why do I
Think so much?

All life thrives with the sun,
Fear and death and shadows run.
Yet, he succumbs to the moon,
Darkness coming in too soon.
Then rain smears night into the day.
Our love survives In the same way.

If you are feeling fearful, think of something that makes you feel safe. If you are feeling lonely, try to remember a certain person who always made you feel loved. If you are feeling agitated, turn to thoughts of a happy moment when everything seemed perfect and carefree. You have a powerful mind.  As long as you use that power in the proper way you can move mountains and work miracles. If you use it in the wrong way - to stir up fear and gloomy feelings - then it will work against you. The choice is yours.
You spoke for hours,
Drawling on as I sat across from you.
I stared blankly at my shoelaces,
And I could hear the weightless words.

I rubbed my tired eyes --
The same eyes you never knew weren't blue.
In the black fog I saw your true actions,
Speaking louder than your weightless words.
