These lines
are merely words
written by a man
who adores you

Unless they bring
a smile to your face,
then they become…
poetry

Is?
My problem is?
I'm too honest.
I always tell the truth.

So those few times,
that I lie,
And tell people I'm fine...

They believe me.
If I really do love her
I will shake hands with her mistakes
and every time she's next to me
I'll pretend we just met.
If I really do love her
I will catch her when she falls
and not let the darkness
drown her in my poisoned sea.
I have seen where this ocean can lead us,
she slips off the edge of the cliff
while I watch as I dig my own grave.
If I really do love her
I will trust that at the end of every day
she would rather dream of me than fall asleep.
If I really do love her
I'll know in my heart that she smiles at the
idea of me.
If I really do love her,
which I do.
Maybe I found her
maybe she's lost
we both swim together
through waves of the heart.
We're here again
remember yesterday?
Won't be as good as today.
Wake me with your smile
show the world
questions swirl
mind starts spinning
flying through satellites
bring me back
just be near me.
She's walked down the river
through rocks and stones
took the light with her
as well as my soul.
Don't turn back
it will **** us both.

and i promise
that every single night
before the darkness
swallows this already
blackened world,
i'll tell you how
beautiful you are to me.
i'll tell you how much
i adore you

You are so
B e a u t i f u l
it hurts;
The silhouette
of your frame
lingers
even when my eyes
are closed
It was the quietest moment.
Silence fell upon me.
My mind opened.
So noiseless I could hear the clouds forming raindrops.
Whispering conversations to small beings who won’t understand.
Little bodies finding homes of comfort.

Orbiting around this tree that doesn’t look real.
Falling, falling, hands out and it’s still, caught.
Autumn colors stain the once velvet green life form.
The beauty in the changing season overwhelms me.
Without change nothing will move.
Without movement nothing will grow.

Stop. Listen. Smile.
Happiness has coated the nature of our world.
It’s fall my friends and that alone is reason to smile.
