On the shallow beach
Your body was floating
Cold, Quiet
Eyes open, looking for hope
In humanity, that is lost
The pictures of the kids floating dead after drowning trying to reach Europe still haunts me. I wonder which is better, to die under the rubble of your home, starvation or drowning!

let's sit and be nothing, do nothing,
in the silence and murmur of the flowers
while the breeze holds and hugs those who sit alone
and let our hearts move with this wind.
This is my ode to you
Lover of life
Giver of joy

Your waters cascade from the mighty heights
Your power descends from above

Your like an ocean
constant
Ever on the move
Ever flowing

My song to you
Is my song of you
Your beauty
Your grace
Your smile
Your world the one you have created
That I so long to be apart of
That I will never be apart of

My eyes swell with tears
My lungs clench with grief
Suddenly Its hard to breathe
The weight of an eternity without you
Hangs heavey on my shoulders
Like millstones around my neck
It drags me to the depths
Taking me down
Deeper than I could have ever deemed possible

Will I ever you see you again?

And so I sit on the shores of this vast expanse
This host of water
This wasteland of sea
I sit here and I think of you
I think of the days we spent

The day in the park
The day in the mountains
The day in the hills
The day at the lake

I sit here and I think of all those times
And in a way I feel as if I am robbing eternity of its captive
I am freeing my mind to the wonder that once was mine.

I close my eyes and I think of you
I breathe life into dry bones
Bring back the love I once had.
And this my ode to you my long lost love

Your beauty will always be in my memory
Your smile never forgotten
Ode to you my long lost love
This is the song I sing for you.
The stars aligned
and the clouds parted but for a moment.

And in this moment
we were eternal
immortal
unscathed by the problems of this world.

We held on
cherishing every moment as it soared by.

The pain of tomorrow
lied over our heads;
the loneliness
the overwhelming sadness
the held back tears
killing us ever so softly.

Distance will rip us apart
love will stretch till it becomes to thin.
And our love will fade
like the morning mist,
consumed in the chaos
drowning in a world that is not fair.

But as for now
I will bask in your embrace
I will sing the songs of joy
I will hold on to this moment with you
forever.
I will close my eyes to the darkness
I will make my stand
and refuse to be intimidated by its shadow.
I will hold you close
and I will hold you dear.

And when the clouds come together once again
And those starry lights fade far into the night
I will know that you and I will be alright.

Do you remember me?
I am the ghost of your past
The maker of your future
The one that haunts you in the present

This is horrible. I'm sorry. I'm bad at this.
"There's an art to it."
She says as she
flicks the end
of her cigarette
into the dirt.
"To what?"
She sighs,
grinding the cigarette
into the ground
with the heel
of her shoe.
"Destroying yourself."
and he never stopped her.

Before I met you, my favourite thing to do
was to cuddle up in my bed and isolate myself
waiting for the day to end, every day

When I met you, I realized that there weren't
enough minutes in a day to spend with you
and I wanted my time to consist of your presence

Now, even during the times I want to be alone
there's nothing I want more than for
my head to rest gently on your chest, listening to your heartbeat with your arms wrapped around me

I can feel my heart knocking on the back of my teeth,
when I see those green eyes glancing at me.

Love at first sight? No son, your vision's blurry,
What's encapsulating your feelings is lust
Powerful, but short-lived
Pleasurable through every taste
But after each taste, that void to quench your thirst will remain
If love is a force, lust must be an energy,
Here for the moment, but we don't know how long it will last.
