I like a crisp apple
I like the way the sunlight hits my bedsheet in the morning
in a perfect square
I like the movement of wind in leaves
And the way circumference of a circle is always pi times the diameter
no matter what numbers you put in
I like the happiness in small things

Achy Leaky Heart
Nick Oh Oct 2017
Achy leaky Heart
Achy leaky Heart
What can I do
if she's torn you apart?
What can I do
if it's not you
she chose to be a part?

O' won't you tell me
My
Achy leaky Heart
Achy leaky Heart.

Unravelling Threads
Nick Oh Sep 2017
For the last time and forever
They pulled away from each other.
Their intertwined fingers unravelling
Like threads coming apart.

It's Complicated
Nick Oh Nov 2015
You had me at hello
Before I knew it, I could no longer say no.
Days became weeks, weeks became months.
You took my heart, not in pieces but in chunks.

Running my fingers through your long black hair
Puts me at ease and removes all my despair.
Looking at you,
Your face
Your eyes
Your lips
Puts my entire world to a standstill.
Something only you can do, against my will.

I'm scared.
And I try to act like I don't care.
But every time I try to walk away from it all,
I find myself looking back for you.
With my back against the wall.

What do I do with this feeling inside me?
I wrapped it up and gave you my heart as plain as it can be.
But even then, it wasn't meant to be.
What do I do now, how can I be free?

If I bury my feelings will I be free?
Or will it just put me in a prison, my heart cold and empty.
If I give you my heart, my everything, will I then be free?
Or will it just leave me stranded, out in the stormy seas?

Free to love, or free of love.
What I do, how do I be free?

My Miracle
Nick Oh Oct 2014
Please don't get tired of me.

Because as I look into your light brown eyes,
I gasp for air as I drown in their warmth.
Because as I stare at the way your lips curve when you grin,
I feel an explosion in my chest.

Because as you scrunch up your face and roll your eyes,
I laugh and look up to you like you're my night sky.
Because as I feel the pressure of your body against mine,
I hold onto you tighter as a tsunami of adrenaline washes through me.

Because as I feel the softness of your lips on mine,
I kiss you like you're my miracle.

So please don't get tired of me,
Because you're my miracle.
Written by my other half. For me, it was one of the most beautiful things I've read.

Colours
Nick Oh Sep 2014
I search through the vast ocean of bodies, scanning through unfamiliar faces until finally I find the one I'm looking for. As our eyes lock, the world around me fades into nothing. Every colour bleeds away and all that's left, right in front of me, is her.

And the colours exist only for her.

One step, two steps. Closer and closer. My heart starts beating, pumping, pounding at the sight of her. Without a single motion, she paints a smile on my face, and she herself laughs.

The sound of her laughter purges the air of pestilence. It reverebates throughout my body, injecting so much colour into my blood stream that I experience a series of happiness, ecstscy and joy all at the same time.

Finally, she's in my arms.

The instant that she is, the world of grey collapsed onto itself, quickly followed by a stream of infinite colours emanating from our intertwined bodies, violently painting colours into everything around us.

Suddenly, silence.

Just the familiar scent of hers.
Just the familiar curve on her waist.
Just the familiar small of her back.
Just the familiar feel of her hands in mine.
Just the familiar pair of eyes looking back at me.

Everything, is complete.

Everything Beautiful
Nick Oh Aug 2014
I feel you in the warmth of the sun.
I receive your kiss in the gentle caress of the wind.
I hear your loving whispers in songs of the bird
I see you in everything pure and beautiful.

You are my everything.

Her Walls
Nick Oh Aug 2014
Pure, kind and beautiful was her heart,
Lock and key it had to be, so she wouldn’t fall apart.
But something so divine
Should never be hidden so far down a mine.

Then came a boy, but not simple was he.
He was a thief, a robber. She knew not, how could she?
He came, he saw and she let down her walls.
He took her time, her words and danced through her halls.

One day, he stole the key to her heart,
Tore down her walls, and broke her apart.
He left her with a bitter taste
And she wondered, was it all a waste?

Wounded and hurt, she built back her walls
Stronger and taller they stand, never again to fall.
Bruised and beaten
She now keeps her heart forever hidden.

~~~

Alone, but contented was I in life
Then she happened and I was in a strife.
She was a thief, a robber.
She took my heart and dismembered it - a ******.

But like a shooting star across the night
She came into my life in a brilliant streak of light
Entranced, enthralled and enchanted
She was the one I never intended.

The walls towered above me as I looked to her
Scale it I must, in order to understand her.
It may take me a while as I climb
But all I have, is time.

Slowly but surely, she started making sense to me
She's the one I want, to be a part of me.
She thinks she's an unwanted colour that no one wants to capture
But she is the colour that completes my picture.

I see her heart, tattered and torn
It breaks my heart, to see her so forlorn.
Happiness, smiles and laughter I hope to provide
She needs to know, there's nothing to hide.

Piece by piece I will mend her broken heart
Never will I, let her fall apart.
The only walls that will be erected
Are the ones to keep her safe and protected.

I will keep her safe and sound
No harm will come to her while I'm around.
How much she means to me, she has no clue
But I love her, I love her I do.

Every Day for an Eternity
Nick Oh Aug 2014
Every day for an eternity, the Moon misses the Sun
He never sees her, forever on the run.
At the break of dawn, he tries to catch her
Horizon yonder, he just misses her.

In his dreams,
   He gazes at her, crowned in golden rays.
   He holds her, so warm in his embrace.
   He listens to her, the melody of nature.
   He kisses her, the sweet taste of nectar.

He wakes up to her halcyon wisps of light,
And loses sight of her to the darkness of the night.
But in their loneliness and solitude
There is one thing that will bring them fortitude.

Patience and love will bring them together
Even the Sun and Moon will meet each other.
No matter how long it may be
An eclipse will happen, eventually.

The day that I see you again
Will be our eclipse.
Together we will remain,
A promise we seal with our lips.

Every day for an eternity,
   I will think of you
   I will care for you
   I will be by your side
   I will protect you

Every day for an eternity.
Every day, for an eternity.
I wrote this while she's away in Europe from me. I miss her so much and it frustrates me sometimes that I can't be with her.

Jealousy - The Abomination
Nick Oh Jul 2014
Blinded by emeralds so bright
It showed me a monster, my green eyed blight.
Try as I might, to remove this affliction
It still gets me sometimes, this abomination
And I think the first sign you notice when you begin to gain feelings towards a person, is just how easily you get jealous when they give others the attention you crave.

Untitled
Nick Oh Jul 2014
How could anyone,
be so hurtful
and desecrate an Angel so beautiful?  

How could anyone,
be so hurtful
after opening the doors to her heart
only to tear it apart?

But how can I,
Be the one to
Mend the doors that broke her heart?
Ease the pain that tore her apart?

How can I
Be the one to
Sanctify the Angel, recreate her beautiful self?
Show her how beautiful she is to me, and to herself?

Love her they say
And Love her I will.

One Heart, Two Hearts
Nick Oh Jul 2014
One heart to beat, one heart to live
Alone, I am exclusive.  
One heart to beat, two hearts to love
Dear Valerie, are you from up Above?

One hand to clench, one hand to wave
Alone, my heart will not behave.
One hand to clench, two hands to hold
Dear Valerie, you’re beautiful, I’m told.

One pair of lips to speak, one pair to whisper
Alone, I can only shiver.
One pair of lips to speak, two pairs to kiss
Dear Valerie, let me be your aegis.

Two hands to hold
Two hands to be wrinkly and old
Two pairs of lips to whisper,
Two pairs of lips oh so tender.
Two hearts in a trove,
Two hearts of turtledoves.

Two hearts to beat, two hearts to beat.

Moon
Nick Oh Jul 2014
They waited, and waited.
Then like a giant lantern,
The Moon inflated.
Casting light so divine
On two hearts, oh so blind

She is All
Nick Oh Jul 2014
She is All.

She's all that I think about.
I am consumed by thoughts of her
every hour,
every minute,
every second.

I remember the night.

The night where the clouds and the sky enveloped us like a quilt as I laid down next to her.

In this one moment, my entire body was acutely aware of one thing and one thing only - her lying right beside me.

The touch of her arm next to mine raised goosebumps on my flesh,
the scent of her hair intoxicated me,
the melody of her laughter washed over me like the surf of a beach.

She was lying there, right next to me.

We made fun of the clouds and laughed at the shapes they mimicked, we watched the sky as lightning put on a show for us.

It was a dream, it must have been. Nothing this wondrous and beautiful could exist in this reality.
I should wake, but I feared this euphoric dream would end.

But under our quilt of sky and clouds, and between our bodies,
I found the one thing that proved to me it wasn't a dream.

It was real, and it is beautiful.

Her hand in mine.

Delicate yet tight in embrace,
I held onto her hands.
It was a link,
a connection,
a bond
that will forever bind us across moments
that will surely be as resplendent as this.

My body next to hers, her hand in mine.

Everything is complete.

Dream Catch-her
Nick Oh Jul 2014
I will be your dream catcher
As you lie under me
My net will be strong
When I set you free.

I will be your dream catcher
In the darkest of nights
No monsters or evil
Shall lurk, with you in my sights.

I will be your dream catcher
Vigilant and silent
Your happiness I will guard
It will be my eternal assignment.

I will be your dream catcher
Saviour
Protector
I will always be there to catch her.

— The End —
