I found the sunlight
in you after the darkest nights
and see the moonlight
on your face after nightmares.

When you smile at me
my heart melts with love
When you dance at the sea
I can't hide my staring eyes.

The night-blooming jasmines
steal your smell darkly,
Maybe, you are in love
with the morning honey bees.

The clouds make the rain
in your secret streams,
The night sky brings the stars
for your sweet dreams.

My tears make me feel better
when they fall for you!
You know, it does matter
because I still love you!

The silence between us
Is getting between us.

Footprints in the sand don’t last long

Clingy wet mud, lightly does one trudge
The footprints fudged

Fine grained mud, one walks slow, soon to dust the footprints turn

The paws that tread on the wet concrete, footprints one
too many...

Permanent
the unknowns left
The sun shines brightest
on a dead winter day
soothing my soul
in the simplest way.

I cannot deny
what lives inside
it 's too loud to silence,
too big to hide.

I pray for all
who can't find their way
and can't feel the sun
on a dead winter day.
Love is a war between two hearts. The war ends only when both hearts become weary of love.

Lo
You can
Open your arms
to the winds of the night
Drown yourself
In the depths of the past
Wave your hands
On the side of the curb

But it will never
bring you stillness
bring you love
bring you home

Stop dreaming of first loves
Your honeymoon was
Never going to happen

That first kiss was day one
Out of one thousand
In a countdown to heartbreak

Don’t you dare tattoo his name
On your untouched skin
He’s going to leave

Get ahold of your vertigo
Find yourself a compass
And drive far away

The fall IS bad
And down IS down

He was never going to stay
A broken battery doesn’t do much good
To someone who runs fine on their own

Pick up the clothes you left on the floor
And forget

Let it hit you
That he’s lying so beautifully
