I wrote your name
in the sky,
but the wind blew it away
I wrote your name
In the SAND,
But the waves washed it away
I wrote your name
in my HEART,
and forever It will stay.

You are worth it to me.
I'd trade all the stars
And the sun for you,
I'll walk in the moons
Pale light to see your pale face.

I'd trade every cigarette
I've ever smoked or I'll ever smoke,
I'll breathe in your
Intoxicating scent instead.

I'd trade all my first kisses,
All my hugs and first loves.
I'll pour my young love
And my old love into your pores.

I'd trade every laugh I've ever heard,
Every delighted giggle
Just to hear you laugh
Every time I'm nearby.

I'd die for you, yes and,
I'd live for you and die with you.

Flaws teach us
Not to judge others
To be stronger
To love the gift -
Without the wrapping paper
God you created this beautiful world
but it seems it is incomplete
I have never met you but
I believe you exist since stars twinkle
Wind blows, sun rises and beaming moon
looks very gorgeous in moonlit night

God you created this world for
peace and prosperity
But peace and prosperity disappears
Every human hates each other

God, how can I agree to your ideology
Where innocent and poor children are
dying from hunger
No clean water to quench thirst
Contaminated air for breathing

God all this is happening right
Under your nose
But you have had your eyes closed
To let the things move as they wish

God, how can I accept your philosophy
of live and let others live
When every human is bloodthirsty
You invite drought that causes famine
You invite flood that causes
loss of millions of human lives

God, how can I adopt your science of sociology
that discriminates between poor and rich
you invite tsunami and earthquakes
devastating a great loss to human beings
Flora fauna is not flourishing

Do you really exist my dear God
God, will you please open your eyes
to see the catastrophe, holocaust and annihilation
If you exist, meet me once and
I will take you on world tour to show
How your creation is surviving.


And this conflict of difference of opinion
will continue until all my questions are answered
God I will wait for your answers
till my last breathe
Thoughts of poet conflict with that of god for creation of the world

What Am I?

I am no great poet,

or skilled novelist,

I am a lover.

Which I deem is both greater and worse.

I do not write

or squabble.

I write all of you down on paper

with my heart,

squeezed into my pen.

Your beauty overtakes my canvas

But I am no artist either.

You make the strokes,

as if I am your puppet

and I paint you down,

a billionaire's masterpiece.

You skin me alive,

until all my worries subside.

For all I am

Is what you do to me.

Tell me, what am I?
Her
She's beautiful weather
on my vacation weekend.
She's the cloudless skies
when I go stargazing at night.
She's one last cigarette
in my pack first thing in the morning.
She's the twenty dollar bill
I found in my old jeans today.
She's the free coffee
when I dont have cash on me.
She's an ocean in the sun
when I'm hot and sore.

She's everything fortunate
that's ever happened to me.
