I can see the sun is rising,
After all, you only stay set for awhile.
Your beautiful rays, and eyelashes gaze
Over the oceans and into my heart.

The laws of physics,
And gravity defy
When we see our sun
Never opposing our rhyme

The rays that gaze
Allow me to see
Your beautiful face
And hair in the breeze

We may be similar, but different in ways
The texture of laced fingers inconsistent
But I'll tell you now, and please remember:
"The opposite of love is indifference"

Goodnight x
I just hope we defy gravity, and never see the sunset again.

Brighter than the sun
is the treasure i've found
but to wait another year
would you still be around?

Though i'm drifting through this ocean
dark blue, and deep it seems.
Waiting isn't the problem
because you mean more than that to me

Drifting.
Floating.
Waves.
Unknowing...
My sails caught the wind.

And traveled further beyond than my two eyes
Could ever have seen.

This conversation serves a reminder,
to how close we'll never be.
If i tried my best i don't believe,
there would be much hope living in me.

These veins are somewhat shrinking,
as the life just stops to flow.
Cause every time i come around to you,
all i'm greeted with is no.

Like an old friend we say hello,
and i shouldn't be surprised.
We know each other so well,
for i've met you so many times.

Any movement of pursuit
results in a dead end.
Every time i move toward you
On this wall i'm hitting my head.

No steps forward, no steps back,
i'm stuck here all the time.
So my hearts to just stop beating,
for will ours be able to rhyme?

You don't have to run from me anymore
You don't have to hold back
See i'm just as real as anyone else
and i can be just as:
(Open)

But, do i have to be more for you?
Or am i just enough.
Around all others, through all storms,
Will you love me just as much:
(For Being Me)

You check all the box's
You fill all the blanks
And i'm not giving up
Because for you, your:
(Worth The Wait)

I don't always know my heart,
But there's one above who does.
And when i'm lost and insecure
And we both need a cure:
(He'll catch us every time)

When the day comes that every thing is perfect.
I can guarantee our love will be as well.
I'll wrap you in my arms, to never let you go
and ill hold you so tightly, as to tell:
(I love you)

Our hands will lace, just like our paths,
We will walk. Run.. Sing and Strum.
We'll kick off our shoes, and cast away our fears,
and i'll be the one to catch:
(Your Tears)

Not only through our path,
but purpose we'll unite.
and we'll praise our God
for giving us:
(Life)

And when your feet have no where to go
Ill carry you when you fall (not by my strength alone).
So when the day is rainy, and your swept up in the tide.
Ill kiss you on the cheek, and stay:
(By your side)

But i know if i hold on too tight
Ill miss my given life
If i never ever let go (And lose everything in the process)
But if i'm true to myself, and true to my God:
(Then our life will come in time)

These words were intended to be song lyrics, however i never used them, so ive re-vamped them (because they we're pretty unstructured) into a poem (So some of the words are original, some words and lines have been added in). Despite the date this was written, it still sums up a bunch of my thoughts.

In shallow waters small fish swim,
Circling to get their feed.
Desperate and needy, with no one for comfort,
They grew no taller than me.

When you sink your ankles just enough,
so that your hands can never get wet.
You'll find yourself open as the dark night sky,
Yet stained by its clouds of death.

A heart is worth so much more,
than all shallow sea's have to offer.
Sail close too close where the waves always break,
and you'll find it hard to break anchor.

In shallow sea's ive drowned,
My heart it had sailed away.
But in the deep its been found,
I just hope that your here to stay.
This poem is about uncommitted and shallow relationships. Its something i used to deal with years ago. I just managed to reminisce and write about how it used to be.
I notice as well, I like to exaggerate lots of ideas in my poems as well. Saying that, my past isn't anywhere near as bad as these words could make it sound.
God has a plan and will for our life. Not a shallow, distant, unfair, or bad will. His will is perfect. (In the bible God is always portrayed as our Father, because that is exactly what he is). God being our Father, has the best plans for our life's, plans for good. Plans for GOOD! So don't go selling yourself out to relationships that aren't good, that will bring you harm, or that you don't want to be in. The more we try to find that special person ourselves, the less room we are leaving for Gods plans to flourish in our lives. And no matter what our past is, God can make us clean again.
Hope these words (not just a depressive poem) helps someone out :)
Peace!

I'm just trying to leave this one to God.
... And your unforgettable.

After all you only stay set for awhile.
I just hope we manage to defy our gravity,
and never see a sunset again.
