"What do you think when you look at me?"

"That I feel safe.. Like I can breathe. My gaze always pauses extra long on your eyes, and I want to run my hands through your hair and beard."

"My eyes are simply a reflection of yours."

I am
Many things
Not the least of which
Relentless
Tirelessly through the storm
Till my hands don't work anymore

To me
Loving you is easy
I think more about breathing

You are not hard to love
Simply because you feel
Deeply

Not loving you
Is the true
Impossibility


I love you loudly
I love you proudly

Because..

To me
Loving you is easy

I can love you
I can feel the vibe
But the answer is no
I can love you
But you'll never be her
And to you that's not fair
I'd rather be alone
Then cause another single tear

If I had to choose
I would choose you
Without any doubt
Or question

Between life and death
If I had to choose
There is no chance in hell
I do not choose you

The subtle sounds of a symphony
Like a true master of the heartsichord
You strum my heart strings
With a prodigy's precision

Hidden beneath the jagged remains
That sprouted from a multitude of my ill fated choices
There were legions of unrelenting monkey voices
Speaking in a thousand tiny languages that we may deem foreign.

I woke up and made peace with the moon
All is everything
All is chemical
All is sublime
I can sleep
I can dream
I can dream about dreams
I woke up and made peace with my coffee cup
The world woke up and I made peace with my coffee cup

Your absence left an unquenchable thirst in my heart
An unfillable void, not with all the riches in the world
A deep and unforgivable cold that could not be warmed with the light of A thousand suns
A day without you
An eternity in Hell

Few things in this life
That I truly adore
My children
You
And petrichor

As we acquiesce
To the depressed of society
I try my best
To digress from propriety
Unlike the rest
To impress Gaiety
I undress
To caress anxiety
Pitter patter
Peter
Piety

These words are not enough
The sky, and stars
And the heavens above

A singing wind
To caress the trees
A beautiful sonata  
Between birds and bees
A smell of ocean air
The bits of sand
Strewn in your hair
A concise and definite
Resolution

Starlight gleaming from your celestial eyes
Highlighting my perilous existence
Save me
I pray thee
Let me not fall to darkness
Not again

I see it in your smile
I see it on your face
I feel it in your touch
I feel it on your skin
I hear it in your laugh
I hear it on your chest
I smell it in your hair
I smell it on your breath
I taste it in your kiss
I taste it on your lips
All my senses tell me
My heart knows how to feel
With all my being I know
My love for you is real

When I die..

Do not mourn
Celebrate
For I now know the secret
The great mystery of the cosmos

Do not mourn
Rejoice
For I now reside
In the great celestial bodies of our night sky

Do not mourn
Accept
For in my earthly absence
I gained the immortality of the universe

Do not mourn
Take solace
For I am once again stardust
And I shall mend the hearts of the forlorn and lost

In the chaotic swirling mist
Of iron raining from my life's sky,
I stand adamant
Amongst the storm,
Against the merciless roar,
And din of a dying light.

I've always wondered
What life would have been like with you
But today I woke up
A little angry
A little sad
I've decided I'm tired
Of a memory I've never had

I wonder and believe,
Through melancholy of fallen leaves.
What is this to me?
The sentiment
Of finality.

Every wincing moment
Through daily adversities
I find myself clawing
and fighting to succeed
Through every trial and tribulation
That bashed me to my knees
I made it to the finish
Battered and battle scarred
And just when I think I have it all together
There you are

I can so I don't
But I do

I miss you
I miss me
The simple ways
When all it took
Was a laugh
When all we needed
Was to get out of class
When I was happy on a cloudy day
Not sad on a sunny one
I miss that
I miss my blue hat.

In an uncharacteristic turn of events
I tripped and fell down

I was in love her
Before I hit the ground.

Such beauty in phrase
That of, "Cellar door."
But I'd argue, "Hello Lovely."
Is just that and so much more.

Hello little star
I see your little light
So high up in the sky
But I know you're burning bright
So far away in space
A million miles away
I long to touch your face
And soon I will some day
From earth your light seems dim
But I know this isn't true
So I'll take off through the heavens
In my rocket ship I flew
Quickly in your direction
I am hurling like a comet
There you are to guide me
I'm in love and I can't stop it
A star that burns so fiercely
So brightly in the sky
Baby I'm your astronaut
So come me with me and fly

I haven't written in a while
For I've not been sad
The love of my life
Fell in my lap

It's a weird feeling
that is, appreciation
For all you do for me
It's reciprocation

You are wonderful
You are worth it
At least to me
You are perfect

If my heart, the purse
And currency my love
My dear, you'd see
I'd buy you every star above

Emotions run deep.
Is it true? Is it right?
Well, I would imagine so.
Though only time will tell.
So, let's wait for the snow.

There will be no one on this journey to help me,
and I'm there to forgot the one I would be thinking about the entire time.
Well,
time to go.

I love how the stars in the sky try to imitate the freckles on your skin because the night sky is the only thing that can even come close to matching your beauty

Late at night
I hear your sighs
As I taste your skin of cream

Late at night
Into your eyes
I look as my heart screams

Late at night
You and I
So surreal as it seems

Late at night
You and I
It is real and meant to be

Fears and doubts
They creep around
But in your radiance diminish
Those thoughts and worries
Let them scurry
Let this unrest finish

Thus, in your smile
And in your laughter
These are things to love
Walk with pride
And learn to see
The shimmer from the scars beloved

Believe in you
Not in them
For you're where victory lies
Do these things
and love yourself
You'll never have to say goodbye

You are the sky above
The earth below
Your gravity holds me
I cannot fly
Yet I am free
You're the flowers
The grass
The trees
You're everything
There is to be

Pretty potted plant
Sits on my window sill
Planted by my lovely daughter
I tend to it now
Waiting for it to bloom
Hoping I can show it to her
It's very close now
In just a few more days
Just wishing I can make her proud

I sondered
As you passed me by
I wondered
As many past goodbyes
I stiffened
As I saw you cry

Was your life
As sad as mine?

I offered
As you stopped in awe
I assured you
As your tears did fall
I listened
As you told it all

Our world of sadness
Is not so small

I let you know
I too have felt it
I too have known
The weight of existence
Upon your soul
I promise you
You're not alone

Let us go together now
I'll wipe away the tears and clouds
No longer will this strife enshroud
Our lives this way with fears and doubts

Together we are stronger
Than we could ever be alone
Please take my hand dear friend
And let us wander home

The great realization
Comedy is the remedy
It doesn't take much

Perhaps,
The great perhaps
has passed
Thinking of people
You've met and asked
When're you done?
Who are you now?
What you've become?
Where and how?

Perhaps,
The great perhaps
has passed
But that doesn't mean
We shouldn't ask
The people we meet
The difference we make
It's hard to adjust
To the risks we take

But perhaps,
The great perhaps
Is now
Yes, I see it
This is true
As surely as
Our sky is blue
One step
Then another

Then another

I believe in you

Is this the end?
The great finale?
If all is quiet and well
I'll believe it then
Though if calamity still lingers
It cannot be so
I'll stay
Until the wrongs have been righted
This is my promise to you

Sometimes
It's the sudden collapse
Of all we hold dear
That ferries us to realization

A profound feeling of disquiet
A soul anxious and eager
A ruptured endeavor
A heart in riot
A jest though meager
A feeling forever

Yesterday got away from me
Yesterdays tend to do that
Tomorrow we can try again
Or maybe I'll just get a new cat

Sling me from your trebuchet
Launch me into oblivion
I don't want to be near you anymore
Not because I hate you
But because loving you is too much
For my soul to bear

Fate is a cruel temptress
Those of us that lack the resolve to resist
Wind up in a purgatory
Unable to atone for breaking

Can I see it?
                
Your heart.
      
Let me look into your eyes.
Nothing much can hide there.

A brief moment of peace
Before losing it all
How underappreciated
Is the serenity
Before the fall

Vita mea est divisa in partes tres

Pars una est amare
Pars duae est lacrimare
Pars tres est mori

I'm not mad
I'm not sad
I just am
It is what it is
