The seaside is the prime example of lovers
The way it trembles, swishes and sways
Like humans under the covers
Just longing to stay there for days

But alas, it could not break the tight seal of reality
The shore and the tide, bound to part in all of their pain
Still, amidst this pretentious practicality
They go on adoring one another all the same

It’s like hills, you see
The way that we slide together and apart
Dear boy, it is you and me
And I pray, it is a sacred art

Of slipping and sliding and going insane
Of crashing together and mixing together
Me part of you, and you of me, the same
Making the parting all the more pregnant with pain

But, dear, you know what I see?  
I see the world flooded over, the water never to leave – what you and I, I and you can forever be.

Take me in your arms and hold me tight-
Like this is the last time,
Like you're freezing cold,
Like you're  f a l l i n g  a p a r t
And letting me go would  b r e a k  
                                                           you
                                                                   down.
Hold me close, Hold me tight,
And Never let me go.
Isn't it perfect, how what people say,
Can simply just ruin your whole entire day?

Words hurt just as much as bruises,
It's a hopeless fight, everyone loses.

"Funny" jabs will never not hurt,
So look around and be alert.

Don't break down, don't cry,
There are other ways to get by.

Ignore the negative things you're told,
Let those things turn into a beautiful mold,
Of Yourself.
You park a car on yellow lines you know it's wrong but all the time
Rules are there but not for you,
beneath your place you seem to think
You park emotions on others to
With same flipancey and disregard
I must start reading the Catholic Herald
I missed the date they made you a saint
You speak to others like they are possessions
To fill a gap in your social status
You can't imagine how much it hurts when you destroy people with your words
So now I'll speak little more, you pariah ! Your just a social *****
Tittle tattle rules your day and it replaced your reality
I'll shut up now as negativity has no place
I'm off to see a happier face
I stare in you eyes
See a story you want to share
Why do you hide
Many sides I do not know
It's okay to let it show
Only when you chose to grow
The yes do not lie
It's natural to cry
Window to the soul
Love offers a sparkling glow
Blink or wink tell me what you think
Eyes grab interest eyes see the way guide you through the day

I set out on a simple task.
Looked at the sun and started to ask.
"Can I change the world dear sun,
like you so often do?
Can I change the world I asked,
I want to shine like you."
The sun could see
She stared at me
And threw my question back.
"Can you change the world you said?
Is that what you asked?
My child you shine as bright as me
And with that mind, you have."
I hope this makes sense.
I should have known...
It was simply too good to be true...
What can I do?
I can’t play like you do...

See this tear I can’t hide,
see this pain I can’t take,
this cut bleeds, it’s so wide,
too strong heartache, for God’s sake!
My soul thirsts for him
Whoever he is
I want him with me
I want him in my life
I want him so much my heart
Is almost breaking

I do not know
His name, nor his face
I do not yet know
Who exactly it is
I'm waiting for

And so I watch
And I wait
And I hope for
That someday

When I get to meet him face to face
To know him as the one for whom I wait

Until then
My soul will thirst

Hug

Hug
Kisses- of which I cannot breath
Hand shakes are faulty
Waves are but gestures, varied in length
Blowing kisses is elementary
A hug is however

An intimate gesture that can only grow
as moments pass slowly,
Let me stay for awhile
Don't let go
til I say,
Til my heart will stay calm

I feel as though I am floating
Extended space is fading
No kiss can match
as melted bodies embrace

I sigh softly as our time ends
I wasn't done quite yet
but that's how it goes, as most of us know
One more Summer.

Then shorn of all reason..
..born..but for a season
and gone.
Dust.
Just an image in the flicker of time.
A line in a book we took as our own.
The memory of a home..
..only loaned for a while.
The smile on a face..
..in case we forget.
Yet, we'd do it again
We would go through the pain of it all..
..for that season
That reason
For life.
