HelloPeople
We'll walk aimlessly towards uncertainty,
We'll wander and then cower

Bodies locked,
Necks stiff,
Fingers intertwined,
Bent knees,
Eyes closed,

Shivering

Restless and tired from the path ahead,
That we know nothing of

Green grass,
Cool wind,
Fresh pond,
Two rocks behind

Perfect!

We can still stand,
We can still light it up!
we're often too focused on things ahead that we overlook the resources around us

Red Towel
 Apr 2016 PaintItGrey

Each morning when I neglect to make my bed, I see your faded red towel folded on the corner of my nightstand.

This is a reminder that you will eventually spend the night again.
This is a reminder that you will eventually share wine with me  again.
A reminder that you will eventually hold me, eventually swing me     around in the kitchen, eventually kiss me first.

I don't know when, and the uncertainty wells up in my eyes. I guess this is what it feels like to miss someone who is right there.
We have not reached the point of routine, which is to say that we are not dull, though I cannot say this in confidence.

Each night when I climb back into my bed, I see your faded red towel, still folded, at the corner of my nightstand.

This is a reminder that he will eventually spend the night again, I tell myself.

One word answers. Red. A red towel reminder. Towel. When was it touched last? Tears. When was I touched last?

Like throwing in a white flag, I surrender to this sadness.

With time, the pain is
only deepening; this heart-
break is forever.
Darkness covers your soul.
Sinking, twirling in a bowl.
Changing you into this demon.
Your mind stuck in thought, you screamin.
Suffocating in your hopes.
Choking you, like your neck in ropes.
You rise from the ashes.
Because your heart is filled with passion.
Nothing can ever stop what you believe.
Because you know exactly what you need to achieve.
On your special day i wish you happiness
Forget all your sadness and loneliness
I may not be with you on that day
I know you'll enjoy it come what may

Let me be honest, I thought it's a fairytale
But once again it's a fail
Now that I'm gone,
I know it's sad but at least its done.
I don't want to get hurt by you
And you were just too kind to be revenge on to.
I'll try to live again without you by my side
But you will never be wash away on my mind.

Through good and bad times you were there
Even my tears and joys were share
Continue to have that helping hand
It felt so good to be on your hand
When I have bad day, you're always on your way

Thanks for the first coffee and sleep
I learned to ride even in rush a "jeep"
You came in just the perfect night
You were just so perfect in my sight

On your next next next next years
Wish you all the best and no tears
I may not see your hair anymore
Being with you can't ask no more

Lastly, a greetings of happy birthday
May God enlighten your day and way
Study hard and enjoy your parties at weekends
Continue your life as if it will never end

It is easy enough
to wish all the world would love us,
to strain for fame,
to claim a name
synonymous with success
living life at its best.
It is great for the rest
but for me I’d prefer to be
true to myself even though
I don't know exactly who he is.

it's nights like this, when we tangle
together like weeds in a seabed of lust
i beg for once, your eyes instead
of your mouth, would confess
how you felt for me.
your lips grow like ivy along the grey
mortar of my spine, your fingers write how
much they don't love me all over my body
and tiny birds take flight from my breath
to be together, is to be apart
when i am with you every word is a mistake,
we press our lips together
harder than we want to press
them against each others mouths
i keep tripping over apologies
and you just want someone who
is steady on their feet
i once knew a boy who told me
he wasn't an artist, but painted
the shores on my cheeks
when he spoke, even the trees leaned
in to hear his beautiful lies
