Eve
"We'll dance with monsters
In the night"
You say with pleasure;
With really blind sight

You told me it is fine
But I think you are too kind
Onto me you have thrown
All your suction of hopes
Cutting down the thorns;
Cutting down the ropes
Ousting this flame
To show me that you came

I am sorry to be saying
But all your love was wasted
As my garden is decaying
Before you could have tasted

What I hold
Is not so very sweet
So I will just be bold
We should've never meet

I failed to be the light
You found in love
I failed to be your pigeon;
I failed to be your dove

And the monsters killed the melodies,
the ones that you dream
Unloved they forever were;
Their sorrows built a stream
A stream where tears shine
And the lost beasts are mine

These silent beasts are now
Just beginning to sound
Mercilessly,
I cried out;
Blatantly,
I have fallen down
And I just can not pick my Happy off the ground

You're building a palace
Where I do not belong
'Cause I have only been taking
The sing from your song
I know that you have
Been very burnt
But every new fire
Is a new lesson learnt

I am Sorry for making
You feel this pain
I am Sorry for putting
Your heart through this flame

Just please do not say
You love me
I might not say it back
Please just stay in intact
And stop all this play;
Forever is not real.

Just really close your eyes
'Cause I do not want you seeing
Throughout my disguise

I am carefully trying
to replace our bodies
For to all my cages and doors,
Are very lost keys

There is something terribly wrong
With our lungs
It is this poison of love  
That we have been breathing in too long
It has fractured our hearts
Turned it really mauve

Made us golden pale
It has destroyed our sail
Shattering our wings
Scattering all the feathers
Like fast demons fly
Through the weary sky

As pretty as you make
this tragedy feels,
Broken and poor
Life is just too blue
To ever truly be
La vie en rose

My mind and heart don't like each other.
They don't agree, in fact, they rarely do.
There is one thing, however, that both do contest.
And that, my dear, is my love for you.
For her.

slow dancing in the dark
like we have all the time in the world

like
the world isn't a war zone
and a massive grave

the ghosts
in this house peek through the holes
in the ceiling, blushing and turning away
as we kiss

i taste christmas in your mouth
and slowly feel myself flying
through space

                                             was that the yellow balloon i lost
                                             when i was eight?

your laughter in my mouth
brings me back to earth and i apologize
for gripping your hand so tightly

i can't let you float away and never return
like my balloon did

I told you that I was born to fly.
You said "Let me be your wings."

I told you that I'm broken inside.
You said "Come to me for healing."

I told you that my walls are built too high.
You said "Let me climb over, please."

I told you that I'm lost and I cry.
You said "Let me dry your tears and guide you from suffering."

I told you that I hate being surprised.
You said "Let me prove my love won't change for anything."

I told you that I need you in my life.
You said "Let me be your everything."

I told you that I love you.
You said "Together and forever in love,
let us be."

I like the words we do not say.
But rather speak through gestures.
The love that's brought through display.
And not spoken to us like lectures.

A kind smile and someones heartfelt tries,
is always a good way to heal,
a fractured heart and swollen eyes;
for those of us that prefer the real.

Words that do not have follow through.
Are as useless as they come.
If you and your words are untrue...
Then I suppose we here are done.

I like the words we do not have to say.
Rather, the ones we can speak through gestures.
I want the kind of love that's brought through display.
For I'm finished with your lectures.
The stars said " I love you" and moon said "Me too"
And Jupiter said "Whoever does not love is only a fool."

The sun said "Be bright", the earth said "Be bold"
And Venus nodded, saying  "Find yourself somebody to hold."

Mars circled a little closer and said "Do not waver"
So Uranus smiled gently and said "Don't let others see you quaver."

Neptune told you "There's so much to see"
And Mercury said "It does not take much to know you are free."

So Pluto called out, saying "There's much more to know!"
The universe agreed, and said "There's more time to grow."

The Milky Way murmured "Keep your love at your core"
And I looked up and said "I will always love you more."
It was 15 years ago today
September 11, 2001 being the day
World Trade Towers had two uninvited guest
It was devastation terrorist being their request
Total lives all caught off guard
Commotion into confusion
Heritage becoming a legacy
The everlasting thought, “Let us never forget”
Yet the emptiness having plenty of regret
Sunny skies with questionable hearts
Souls that were risen up
Today being always reflect
Remembering the moments
Reflecting on the seconds
The aftermath being a chapter of ******
Souls of enduring love in always be encouraged
It’s a new day with the warmth of sunshine
Determination has built a new world trade
The sun still shines, and there is no fade
Soul’s look down
The living has eyes in looking up
A missing heart in knowing where the tears fall
Not a day goes by I hear the fallen call
But it is inspiration for all
My own name could have been read from the fallen list
No time to even give that last time a final kiss
Yet live we must and having Faith in trust
Rise and stand
Observe Heaven’s watch
External with deep thoughts in remembering
Our tomorrow has made us wise
Rise up, rise up and continue to rise up my children
You have living to do, but don’t ever give up.

Knelt not like candles
lit for celebration but
driven like needles
into pine by
hammer.
