It was a cold dark night
Sailing for Hopes for Dreams
An Island beyond the sea
A home of victory
A home that will
Now never be yours 

Flashes of light
In the torrent of the sea
Father and child
Held on tight
Struggled for their dream
Before my eyes
I saw their dream die
In the cold black pit of the sea
I want to say
I am Sorry

I am Sorry
To all voyagers
Of despair and courage
Their lost Hopes and Dreams
Crossing to
An Island beyond the sea

*To the Hundreds of Souls lost on the journey to Lampedusa
Where did I go wrong
Was it me all along
Does my face match disgrace
Or is that look of distaste
Just a general disappointment
For all lost souls

What could be thought of me
What could ever come to be
Your mind yells nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Others scream something
Something
Something
But it gets worse
Why won't these feelings disperse

A pillow won't protect you
From all that you do
The lights will always come on
Eventually
You can't hide in the dark forever
As if its your own personal tether
To some sort of sanity
Where a "perfect" man has no problems
And sleep isn't an escape
How much can your heart stand?
Forcibly ******* it up
Absorbing and dealing
With our daily damnations.

Bursting from the seams,
It is steadfast.
Walls bending and breaking,
Still holding your world together.
But nothing withstands forever.

A direct connection
Form heart to head,
Is our only fail safe.
We as humans fall in love
With what we see,
What we hear.

How extraordinary.
The gateway with which we see all of the world's beauty
Is also a drain for the hideous.

On occasion,
Without warning,
It releases its overflow.
A quick reminder of reality.
But don't fear this.
Accept the beauty
Of your heart finally letting it go.
I don't show her all the poems
I write,
Because if I did,
I would be picking up
***** crying tissues
From every room.

I don't show her all the poems
I write,
Because if I did,
My neck would be sore,
My back twisted,
My arms black n blue
Where she alternatively
Hugged me too hard or punched me harder,
For making her sadmadhappy,
Or just one of
all of the above.

I don't show her all the poems
I write,
Because some are meant for her to read,
Après les deluge,
After I'm gone,
Safely but sadly,
Out of her reach,
And the man who always carries
Tissues for her,
Has finally
Run out of stock.

Lingering
in what was.
It's


Unatractive

and
Shys me away.

Breathless,
Tell me to slow down.
Give me a reason  nonetheless.

Now would be nice
but forever might suffice.
I wanted to give you some words that you really like
So I traveled all over the world on nothing but a bike.
I looked at trees, and bees,
and several people who fell for me.
However none of them compared to you
And none of them did the things you do.
Their voice didn’t drive me insane
just by saying my name.
The way they kissed wasn’t right
when I was missing you at night.
So I hope you know that I could travel to the moon
In search of words that would make you swoon
But I don’t think any of them would do
To show how much I think about you.
