A poet in love
Is a match soaked
In gasoline.

My face above the clouds...
My feet can't touch the ground...
And it feels like...
I remain in love acoma,
Your love kept my love stuck, so stuck
My heartbeat won't make a sound.
It feels like...
I'm slowly drifting,
Drifting away..
Into the water of unstable knees,
Wishful beliefs..
Maybe if I,
Maybe if I
Drift farther out into the clouds
We may fly...
Maybe if I close me eyes
We can imagine a vision of you and I?
I apologize
For jumping into the bottles and...
Drifting away
I know
I know you begged me to stay...
I know you left and gone away
But I'm
I'm slowly drifting
Wave after wave
Wave after wave
Into the open seas
Slowly drifting
Wave after wave...
I miss you
Want I kiss you
But another storms coming
Here comes the wave..
Wave after wave
I'm drowning
wave after wave...
(crying) wave after wave
(sinking)
I was slowly...
Drifting
Waves rewrite

Drunken words
tumbling out between
sips of liquor,
eyelids
heavier than usual,
she thinks
I can't tell
when she's been
drinking
but I have been here
through days when
she swallowed nothing
but whiskey and
antidepressants,
through
sobbing nights,
these walls are so thin
I hear every
tortured breath,
I have been here
through hollow chest
and empty bottle,
and she has never been
a mean drunk,
only honest,
but it seems like
she only tells me
she cares through
wine-stained teeth
and I wonder
if she can hear
my heart break
every time she slurs
the words
"I love you".

make love to a poet and you will feel
everything
all at once
as if the earth’s core
has shattered
and all the planets have been stretched into
long ropes
and intertwined
along the milky way
make love to a poet and you will feel
as though each verse
is inside of each panting moan
and as though each rhythm
is within each twisting ******
and your body will become numb
as it contorts
to turn existentialism into a heart beat
make love to a poet and you will experience
every word ever created
by each mouth brought to life
grazing your bare flesh
with each centimeter of their fingertips
meeting the quivering abdomen
and although every word is with you in this moment
you will beg the universe
to let you speak them
because when you make love to a poet
you become one
with a language
one unspoken and one the vice
you will melt into song
when you make love to a poet
all the love that ever was
or ever will be
becomes trapped within a single drop of sweat
and all the fear
that was summoned for the world to share
becomes confined within each sharp gasp
make love to a poet and you will feel the
creation of a galaxy inside of you
the stars will cling to your veins
and they will dance in your blood
and the planets will be caught in the gravity
of your lungs
and so you will breathe in moons
and breathe out aries
and asteroids will blast through your throat
for the rest of your being
if you make love to a poet

My life is a book...
A book so strange, so deep...
Sometimes beyond my comprehension,
Sometimes completely on my disposition.
I keep turning the pages with a feeling that has been known for ages,
But yet is unknown...hope.
With each turn I find new characters and see the end of many...
With each turn I discover a new feeling and see the end of many. With each turn I lose & wid each turn I gain...
With each turn I laugh with a new pain..
Yes, such is the book...
Its pages are woven...not with fibres of the everlasting trees...
But with the transient beauties like love, laughter & memories.....
Few pages are scribbled & few are left blank...
I don't know what to do with them...
May be add on or maybe move on...
The scribbled & torn ones remind me of the blade which once pierced my heart...
The pain was deadly, fatal...yet, there seemed to be no death...
I still remember the pain..I still feel the pain...
It was like a sword slitting your veins...a dagger cutting your ribs & an axe chopping your bones...
Yet there was one difference...
The body was completely fine,
The soul underwent all the pain...
And so the ink, a part of the flowing soul, scribbled the pages hard...tearing it to pieces...
But still the book continued coz it was a tough one...
It still continues...knowing there maybe many swords & daggers ahead...but still brave it was to also know there will be smiles & beautiful bonds ahead...
The bonds which give us a strength called hope & their smiles which warm our heart on the whole...
None wants the end of dis book...
Yet one day it ends,
Leaving us all silent...

I want to flip through the pages of your open book.
I want to start from the very beginning.
All of the hurt,
the joy,
the loss,
the love,
the sadness,
and the desire.
I want to experience it all with you.
I will dread reaching the very last words,
but until then, let me flip through the pages of your open book.
I thought of the phrase "flip through the pages of your open book" while trying to go to bed and I decided to get this idea down before I lost it.

My mind- an empty clutter

Trying to put words on paper,

Words that have no meaning,

Words that don’t rest for a second.

It’s not the same

Since the feeling’s gone,

But my heart still stings

Of lust.

For I am cursed to always want

That which I can’t have.

I could pretend and deny that my one night stand wasn't good.
But it was.
It was terrific.
It was wonderful.
It was passionate.
Just full of romantic wants.

I could lie and say, it shouldn't have happen.
But it did.
And I was left with some great memories.
That's within my mind.
That was filled with great times.
That taught me things I could only visualize.
Just full of romantic feelings.

Unlike, those that craft reasons to hide behind lies.
I willingly admit to my good times.
Yes, I could lie before friends and ministers too.
But in my heart, I stand before truth.

I had a wonderful time during my one night stand with you

A string of hair
Tied to memories
All that was left in the morning.
