She won't break your heart,
but she will test its limits.
Fair?
Probably not,
but neither is life,
and life provides
opportunity,
not justice.

Angry?
No,
just disappointed.
Are we good?
No,
but I wish we could have
figured things out.
I thought we were better than this.

Suddenly, the future doesn’t look so bright
Guided by a lighthouse without a light
Like a ship finding its way back to land
Misdirected, you’re buried in the sand

This life
is a bitter cup
of coffee but you
were my little spoon
of sugar.

Alone again on
this summer night.
No emotions this evening,
not even any thoughts or sensations.
The ambience consumes me
as I give into the abating ambience.
There will be no dreams tonight,
but also no fear.

Lose yourself in the
sunshine of the summer sky.  
Let the sunflowers cradle you like
the sun cradles its children below.

You say
it’s too hot
to see the sights-
that’s okay,
because baby,
none of these sights
compare to the sight
that is you.

If I was summer
then you were winter
that enveloped my sun
in an endless cold.
Where we would swim in lakes
you would freeze over in ice
and everything else I had grown.
Every flower I planted for you
was destined to wither and
not even my sun could
withstand your storm.

I close my eyes and
summon you into a dream.
Even if it's for a little while,
let's pretend it is real.

You are like the sun
Everyone basks under your reflection
Soaking up your warmth and affection
Without you,
the world would be
a very cold and bleak place to live
a world I wouldn’t want to know

If just one
sunflower bloomed
for every time I dreamt of you,
there wouldn't be room
for the thorns
and thistles.

Touch me with the
sunflower you carry in your heart
and fill me with its warmth.
Let's plant a thousand more
as we watch our dreams
grow from
that garden.

She wore a sunflower dress
and showered him in love and light.
She wanted to warm him
as much as her dress
warmed her.

My heart will always
find its way to you
like a sunflower finds its way
to the sun.

You may be unreachable
Like an island across sea
But I’d make myself miserable
Just to make you happy

Every dawn,
I plant a sunflower in your name,
so that when dusk comes,
and a million sunflowers fill the fields,
our love will blossom
for years to come.

Your smile still
shines like a sunflower
and only your laughter
can bloom this heart.

My relationship
with you is like that
of the sunflowers
and moon-
always distant
and dying in the absence
of your light.

After so much pain
under the chill of the winter moon,
a kiss from the sun herself
is enough to get me
through one more
year.

I never thought
I would envy the sun,
but here I am,
wishing I could kiss you
the way the sun kisses you
every day and with
as much warmth.

Let me mirror my sun
into your sunflower
and weave my sunlight
into your petals.

Still, the sun has not yet
made her appearance in my day.
If you feel this way,
sometimes that’s okay.
She will shed her light
when it’s her time
to shine.

It is impossible to separate you
like the sun from the moon.
It still hurts to remember you,
but the memories still
brighten my days.

Like the sunset,
you slip away,
oh so beautiful,
but dark is this world
once you are gone.

I would rather
face the sun than
face the shadows and demons
buried deep inside.

Some days
I miss the sun.
Nevertheless,
I still wake up and
see your smile-
that's all the warmth I need
to start the day.
These mornings could not
get any better.

I myself in
the blissful radiance of
the sunflower field
contained within your soul.
It warms me like the eternal bond
between the sun
and the flower.

You are the water that
grows the seeds in my heart
and the sun that gives
life to the love that sprouts.

Maybe you will survive
when the storm is over but
you will never be the same.
It will leave you broken and scattered,
like the ruins of a city and
uprooted like its trees.
Only a wasteland will remain,
to which you will have to
refill with lessons learnt.

Oh, how she
longs for sweet, little
death
while I long for
her sweet, little
heart

I am a bee in the
sunflowers of memories.
I find shelter and solitude
underneath the petals
and harvest that sweet nostalgia
of this garden we once shared.

I want someone who
knows the silence of my soul.
Yes, we will build our lives
from a sweet silence that
only we can understand.

You are
sweet and spice
and everything nice.

You are
close yet far
like my favorite star.

You are
sun and moon
and I will see you soon.

People could tell how much
you lit up my spirit-
they could see it in my eyes,
they could see it in my smile.
But now that you've gone,
these eyes ain't what they used to be.
Like a switch,
I have taught myself to
light them up on command.
But deep down,
this spirit doesn't
shine so bright.

Sylvie
is deceptive
to the eye and I
am left with nothing
but my imagination.

Take care of yourself-
no matter how little my words
mean to you now or
how second of a thought
I am to you now,
if a thought at all.
I meant every word
that I said.

you knew how
to take my breath away.
To this very day,
I still find it hard
to breathe.

Her beauty has the strength to illuminate the darkest room
Her presence alone can warm up the darkest of nights
Her eyes, they stare, they take me away
Her smile, they make me forget about life
All that matters right now is this moment
And all the moments we are together
And the thought of even holding you
Is enough to take the pain away
And the thought of even kissing you
Is enough to keep my dreams at bay

Our lives
are tapestries
woven with memories.

She grazed my eyes
with an arrow set to stun.
She put another through my soul
and I fell hard, so very hard.
The next one is for my heart
and I am helpless to her
fatal shot.

Shakira on the radio,
a gin and tonic or maybe four.
The night is young, baby,
and we aren't
getting any older.

Tbilisi held up more
than just our broken heart.
They held our hopes and dreams,
at least until we were apart.

the city is a
distant monument to our
one summer in love.

You may not
know this,
but your tears water my heart.
And from your tears,
love blooms
in this garden
of our tomorrow.

We loved in technicolor!
Your words, your laugh,
your smile and your soul
painting my life in colors
I never knew existed.
And then you left,
and the colors faded fast-
leaving me in a
grayscale gaze.

I want to write your name on the sun.
I want to tell the sun how your smile
burns brighter than a thousand suns
and about how galaxies revolve
around the purity of your soul.
I want to tell the sun how your beauty
rivals that of any shooting star and how
the trails your smile leaves fill me with joy
and the inspiration I need to write these words.

You would think
by now
I would have realized
Just how temporary
a person
can be

Let them leave-
it doesn't matter.
If life is temporary,
how can they be permanent?
Nothing really lasts so
strap yourself in and
enjoy the ride.

Angels come and go
with pain and love
and without warning.
If you should be so lucky
As to meet an angel in this world
treasure them-
for there’s no telling when
their halo will lift or
their wings will take flight.
So cherish them-
but keep in mind
they are not forever
and that one day they may become
a stranger once again.

I am terrified
when I am not
feeling numb.
