I would liken you
To a night without stars
Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.

You spoke kind words,
a blissful reprieve from the silence and stagnation.
Warm words,
too few to count,
too subtle to embrace,
Yet the sun was shining
through two small
too small windows
And my heart was racing
too fast to slow then,
too warm to freeze still.
I felt the tremors,
choked on dry air.
I felt the shockwave pump blood
through rusty veins worn tired from disuse.
My eyes mirrored yours
hypnotized and ignorant of the change in motion.
The sun was shining
but the light was in your stare
So innocent and intrigued.
So unlike mine.
I couldn't bear the contact.
Struggling and stuttering,
my silence will save you.
You'll keep what I lack
Embrace what I've lost
Receive brief surrender
By your eyes' blind kindness.

All you people i love so much
I'm ready to rip my chest apart
You are indeed an interesting bunch
I did not deserve to have you in my life.

In only hurts when i tell
How insanely good you are
How much i want your life to turn out well
And you send me to insane asylum

I do not care for the rest,
But it does offend
When to you im nothing but a pest
Desposible waste

Words i want to speak no more
For the shallow sadness inside
With waves washes my woe
The sea of night
Moon shines so bright
Solace i seek tonight.
Oh, come to me in dreams, my love!
   I will not ask a dearer bliss;
Come with the starry beams, my love,
   And press mine eyelids with thy kiss.

’Twas thus, as ancient fables tell,
   Love visited a Grecian maid,
Till she disturbed the sacred spell,
   And woke to find her hopes betrayed.

But gentle sleep shall veil my sight,
   And Psyche’s lamp shall darkling be,
When, in the visions of the night,
   Thou dost renew thy vows to me.

Then come to me in dreams, my love,
   I will not ask a dearer bliss;
Come with the starry beams, my love,
   And press mine eyelids with thy kiss.

Where is my Apollo?
Where is my Muse?
The eyes like amber rose
That burned my lips with scars
of liars words
and a foolish bards wish
to kiss the lips of he who plagues me
to end it all in
one
foul
swoop

Wish upon the stars
that we two share
and though we gaze alone

we are always together

beneath one common moon.

As with this and every night we spend
comforted by twilights touch
and midnights kiss...

wrapping our two hearts
within a blanket of stars
where wishes
and dreams come true

if you believe in me as I believe in you.

Left unpainted,
The sky is a bland reminder,
That the sun sets,
Left unheard,
The ocean is a bland reminder,
That waves crash,
Without the susuration of the leaves,
Ah...**** the trees!
Left unspoken,
The heart is a bland reminder,
That love exist.
Written in frustration. Sorry tree people. They are quite beautiful. Mostly.

Tonight, I lay here thinking about you
How I get chills, every time I remember your smile
You're so beautiful,
sometimes I forget how to breathe whenever you're around
Everything feels so different now that you're gone
All I can do is to stare at you from a distance
It hurts so much seeing you with her,
wearing those smiles that used to be mine
I'll always wait for you until you are mine again
But tonight I lay here, thinking about us.
