My love it runs deep, carving paths through tiny crevices,
under the surface, within.
It cascades over jagged edges, smoothly, undeterred, undevided.
My love it runs swiftly, not holding back, resolute and ever-knowing
where the basin-home lies, wide-open.
Shall it be cut off from the main-stream course, an unexpected turn-
it keeps gliding, slowly, gently onward.
And shall it lose momentum, caught in a depression, turn
murky, foul, lifeless - patience - over seasons or ages
it shall rise and become clear, weightless.
My love is never old - change is her shadow - loss, a mirage
on the long journey through the frenzied jungle, home.
Formless is her nature, unbecoming and rebirth - her breath -
every moment, anew.

That cup of coffee that's been sitting too long is more like you than you may think.

It's a little too cold for anyone's liking, and you are as well - but deep down there's heat waiting to be felt, and I know you're clinging on to that.

I didn’t think I’d lose myself in you
Hesitating to fall,
It was a brave conquest
At the edge of it all
Looking down into a pit
And so I went without looking
Convinced that you’d be at the bottom
To crush my fall
Who knew you were the one to push me.

"What did I do wrong?"
The most ironic statement ever, coming from you, you heartbreaker.
I used to love you until I learned what true evil is
It's you.
Every day after you hurt me
I would come home crying, asking myself
"What did I do wrong!?"
And you have the audacity to ask that.
Shut up.

My eyes are screaming
From all this
Tension my
Hands are too cold
For holding
Onto nothing but
Empty words and
Threat of
Sorrow…
Storm clouds moving in
There’s a fifty percent
Chance of
Insincerity today
You can see warm fronts
Moving in
Again from the east
Colliding with
Denial
And I said I wouldn’t
Write about
You
Anymore but this
Anger has nowhere
Else to go
So zip up your
Raincoat
Slip into your boots
And we’ll splash
In the puddles and
Hide our tears
In raindrops and
Laugh even as we
Drown

I promise to be good if you promise you'll be better
I promise to shut my eyes to the world if you open yours to mine
I will let it all go if you grab for my hand
I promise to fall asleep with my head on your shoulder if you don't wake me up
I promise to regret everyone else if you kiss me and mean it
My promises are empty if you don't have any

I'd swim the ocean for you.
Create swift motions for you.
Name a star after you.
Travel far for you.
Sing my soul out for you.
Punch a fool out for you.
Walk the world for you.
Be the girl for you.
I'd dance in the street for you.
I'd even eat meat for you.
I would live for you.
I would die for you.
Why?
Because I love you,
And for you, I'd do it all.
