It makes me physically sick

To wait another day

No matter what the risk

I must soon find a way
Matthew Nichols Dec 2013
She loves with her body
Slowly moves into her mind
But makes it a hobby
To keep her heart hard to find

She doesn't yet know that I am no plunderer
My treasures of trove do not lie under her

No I am the most dangerous game
She doesn't know the rules or even the name
She doesn't know she is already playing
She doesn't know she will never be the same

You see, bodies fade with time
Could be gone tomorrow briefly mine
But a heart is forever
A soul, a serious endeavor

I will not settle for any price
These sheets are not my greatest vice
I will not play this game of yours
I will settle for nothing less nothing more

My heart is set my brow is hard
This puzzle will be mine to take apart
I will never have enough
As long as my eyes are locked above
I will not take shore until I see the dove
I will not give in until I have your love
Matthew Nichols Nov 2013
Look deep into the sky
Stars spin and collide
The tails of comets play
Swirling light in their wake

Leaving a sea of glitter
Like snow in dark winter
Do you like it?
I know you do
Quite splendid
And all for you

This world has no sun
Just you, the only one
This celestial dance
Of love and chance

Is all for you
It's very true
So next time you feel alone
Lost and broken, pain unknown

Look into the gem filled sky
And know you look into my eyes
And if ever you feel
Like there's something this world cannot steal

Then take flight on wings
And bring it to me
And we will flow
Across the starry snow

But never forgetĀ 
I never regret
That once I looked to the sky
And saw only your eyes

And took my flight
Just like you
Escaped my plight
For something true
Matthew Nichols Nov 2013
It looks gorgeous short
Of course
But I want it to be long again

Not to see it long again
But to see you pass through
*A hundred shades of beautiful on the way
Matthew Nichols Nov 2013
Everything I have, I give to you
Like an hourglass must pour

Though someday our time will be through
You'll never be empty while I am yours
Matthew Nichols Nov 2013
Looking high, looking low
Looking down deep below

So long I spent looking for you
Now I look for something new

Paradise my eyes had searched to find
Find I did, of the greatest kind

Now I look through Eden's wake
Knowing what I have at stake

But harder to find than you were to me
Is anything wrong with this lovely dream

Signs all around, they scream at me so
But where did the objects of their warning go?

So toxic you've come to think you are
But with every day it's more bizzare

Perhaps I've gotten lost in those seas of blue
Windows to the soul, it can't be true

This place looks nothing like you said
Only joy and hope, nothing to dread

But if this is your idea of my pain and misery
Then by all means, be the death of me
Matthew Nichols Nov 2013
When I play piano
I think of you

Like the keys, everything black or white
Here or there

But in tune

It may seem confusing
Too complicated

But with a little patience
And a gentle touch

Beautiful music comes to life
