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

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

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

In an uncharacteristic turn of events
I tripped and fell down

I was in love her
Before I hit the ground.

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

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

I will always cherish you
No matter the pain you cause
The strong have no business being cruel
That is the errand of the weak

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

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

If you see Her
Say hello
With velvet eyes
And skin like snow
Hath piercing beauty
With fortune's  glow
If you see Her
Say hello

Sometimes I wander
Deeper to the city
Velvet streets and
Brimstone corner stores
Silent, contemplative
Sacred Simplicity

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.

Incase of Emergency
Open the..
Ah, who am I kidding.
It's been open since the day you left.

The world is round; it has no point.
Don't harp on that minor chord- simply cherish, "I remember."
and keep walking.

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

Vita mea est divisa in partes tres

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

Trapped in this infernal purgatory
At least I have you.
Thus, while my skin sears
So does my heart.

I dream these dreams
On an isle of yew
Either day or night
My soul is blue
Through firelit skies
Or moonlit nights
I dream these dreams
On an isle of yew

The night so dark
On an isle of yew
I'm lost and found
Where souls bound anew
Their faces so right
when faced with my plight
The night is so dark
On an isle of yew

I'm just not happy
On an isle of yew
My heart is stone
But by soul- it flew
In the shade it's cold
Or so I'm told
Underneath these trees
On and isle of yew

I wander in splendor
On an isle of yew
Neither here nor there
down an aisle or two
The trees grow high
and so do I
I wander in splendor
On an isle of yew

I am elated
On an isle of yew
To face another
Whose beauty so true
Your face loved me
And love crushed me
So I end this thought
On an I love you.

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

"You're beautiful."
"Oh please, I didn't even try and look cute today."
"Not your hair, your soul."

You are every memory I never had
You are every morsel of life I crave
You are every moment I want to live
You are everything
You are
You

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

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

The vastness and beauty of the cosmos
Pales in comparison
To the utter magnitude of your wonderful soul  


"We are all made of stardust!"

Never believed it until I met you.

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 know what you mean..
It's not the things you do..
or where you are..
it's just..
..the BEING.

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

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.

Love is Nature
Violent, beautiful, and necessary

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 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

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

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

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

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
