Decisions are difficult to make
But I'll tell you one advice to take:
Use the brain to be smart;
To be right, use the heart

Numbers are real

Yet, untouchable.

The universe in my hand

Literally, unseeable.

My thoughts,

they’re real

But seemingly, unbelievable.

Your skin against mine,

Ha! improbable.

Longing for you,

The impossible.

I’m waiting for you,

That’s undeniable.

Your feelings?

That’s questionable.

How many Flowers fail in Wood—
Or perish from the Hill—
Without the privilege to know
That they are Beautiful—

How many cast a nameless Pod
Upon the nearest Breeze—
Unconscious of the Scarlet Freight—
It bear to Other Eyes—
Alone in the room,
my hands are stained
with poetry.
Some remain
pouring emotions
involuntarily
giving, providing

Some embrace
some comfort
with no conditions

Some stay
regardless, they care
they kiss,
their minds and hearts
join forces to soothe the world
between, within

Some calm
aid, make a presence
some are here
and stay here

They love

Some eyes glisten
hands sweaty
uncontrolled smile
I don't know what it is

Some look
it's not any look
it's a look that floods
your vision with your view
that center of attention

Some giggle
it's the butterflies
they flutter in your stomach
their untamed nature
makes its way to your face
your mouth
your mind

Some fall
into a rabbit hole of your own
through a colored tunnel
that colors your vision
giving you rosey glasses
providing your with a new perspective
a new view, a hue that you and only
you enjoy

Some fall in love!

Let me fall in love
with love
and imagine
the kind of world
around me
that seduces you
to explore
just a bit more

Fall in love with me
and lets love
the fall
with a love
being
in
love

*Love is a drug,

That leaves you high and dry

~
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
(- not sure if this is from radiohead..)
You're
So mechanical,
Grinding and menacing.
Why did you change?
Remember you not our bliss?

I'm
The same;
I resist alteration.
It's true - seasons change,
Yet that's about it here.

Your
Leery labyrinth
Of menacing streets
I searched inside out,
All to find you've gone.

Why
Don't you
Just come back
To our sweet nature
Where our love was pure?
