Don't let me enjoy this moment
Where your piano fingers trace the back of my spine as though they are seeking the right key
to play
Don't let me find hope in your kisses
When you cup my face between your forever giving
hands.
Don't let me stay with you for a while when
All I want to do is stay for a
long time.
Don't let me see you for a moment
If I can't see you a moment longer.

Black Leather Studded Heels

Fight the way
Inhale the smoke
Dance to the unheard
Melodies of the broken.

Take it back
Spit it out
Say you didn't care at all.

Black leather studded heels
Kick the wind
Out of the infamous given
Lovers.

Say you didn't care at all,
Say you didn't care at all.

Ink on a page.

His soul is scribbled on
A page yet to be found.

I heard it was tainted by
The kiss of the rain.

The page could be torn
But it could also be smeared
By the hand of its author.

Never will it be seen by the reader.

Cherry Blossom Tree

Take me by the hand
And lead me to
The violet Jacaranda tree
Where she took your
Heart and whispered
Sweet words into your ear.

You were afraid to come
Back here and show
Others the hurt
Some little girl has brought
Upon you.

She spoke no truth
When she left you with
Simple but painfull words
That ran through your
Mind at night.

Take me by the hand
And lead me to
The Cherry Blossom tree
Where you first fell in love
With me.

Somewhere by the River

I ran to the river.
To seek someone's soul

In the city
There's only hunger and
Depression is beginning to take its toll.

Maybe they are all hiding
Somewhere between the tall trees.

But somewhere by the river
I heard yours crying.
Like white paper starting to crease.

Untitled

On a lonely night, a girl's mind pondered
On the boy who claimed he
Loved her.

She ran to his heart to feel the warmth but only found
Pain and no beat.

Tired and weary she fell asleep
In his arms.
She woke the next morning to
Find that he was still there.

His chin rested on her head
And she could feel his steady
Heartbeat underneath his shirt.
She smiled.

I'll steal.

I'll steal those tiny moments
When you smiled at me.
And tuck them away
Where no one will find them.

So that when my soul leaves
This world, those memories
will shoot up to the stars and
Be close to the embracing moon.

I'll steal those tiny moments
When you laughed with me.
And keep them safe in my heart
Where no one will find them.

So that when I close my eyes
And take my last breath,
Those memories will shoot up to the
Blue sky and its radiance will
Compete with the sun.
