She said
"Let's go
down the rabbit hole",

she steals
a kiss;
and down we fall~
Kiss me
Neath the summer lit sky
of crimson pink
and glory gold

Say my name
with that sweet tremble
of caution
and delight

Chase me
Catch me
Caress me
Cherish me

And you will know
what it is like to have
all the Seasons
embrace you all at once~

This pain called "Love"
        hanging our heads,
        weeping down on our souls,
        baring over our hearts,
       exposing our weaknesses,
This pain called Love.
I wanted to know the taste of your scent.
Not your name, the way you're biting your lower lip
Or when was the last time you brushed your shoulder of someone passing by.
I didn't want your eyes on me,
I merged with the environment in which I found you,
In the frozen air and in the move of your hands when you remove your hair from your cheeks.
I wanted to know the diameter of your pupils,
A reflection of your face in the water, intersected with lotus leaves.
You stopped between my steps and I remained transfixed,
Terrified by your proximity,
Your universe, thousands of light-years distant from mine,
Your dimension, painted in the colors of purple and rotting peaches.
Your breath, elusive unknown,
Rang out in a space in which I found myself trapped with you,
Bordered by my unspoken longing
And with the way the wind touched your eyelashes.
And you moved on, with my eyes
Imprinted in the depths of your body,
Leaving me and my desire to find out
What shade of blue do you dream
And how many wisps tangle around your fingers
When you pass them through your hair.
Just a desperate poem about a desperate man.
Before I go
There are cookies in the jar
A note on the mirror
A shopping-list on the counter
with a bunch of apples
for the horses.
And I love you forever.
And then he breathed his last.
Soulless shadow
sleeping in my arms.
When I look at you
you are no more.

What broke the glass
through which I saw
your soul?

Before the morning dawns
will this dream fade?
Lost like another
Fleeting escapade?

I thought time would

                                          stand still

I shouldn't try thinking.

    I though we could

              until

lights started blinking.

I thought the puppets that
we played with

Could still be real.

But beyond the rim of the edge of the world
Time is no more.
And there the dreams are real.

Can we go there,
maybe?
In another time?

I don't know how to get there,
But with you
                              I
                                        would try.
Heartbreak with a touch of smile at the end.
Sometimes the more it hurts
          the bigger I smile.
So don't trust my words or my face;
       trust the colors of my soul.

And if you can't see those, then you don't know me
                    well enough to love me
                                        like I need to be loved.
It's hard learning how to see with your eyes closed. But it can be done.
every moment of every day
i think of how i wish things were okay
yet all i seem to hear is lies
said straight to my hopeless eyes
Do you ever think before you drink?
about the hearts you are about to sink?
im almost out of glue
that keeps my heart from tearing in two

The mothers don't care
The brothers don't share
The sisters push you
The dad overlooks you

They don't love
But they don't hate
They only leave room to discriminate

For you feel all alone
But there is no need to groan
It might not be alright
But you can win this fight

Dear, you are special
In your own way
This is why I am here to say
It will be okay.

Not everyone knows about your scars
Or the pills to make you see the stars

But I've been there
I have won that fight
I walk around with a smile on my face
To show I was there that night

I know your secrets
I know your lies
So you can no longer say goodbye

I'll be there to help you
At the end of the day
Maybe then you'll realize
*It will be okay.
