My mind slips into darkness way too easily.
It ventures into a big nothing,
Eventually settling on your luring eyes

Eyes that have stunned
Stone back to flesh
Silence, to a heartbeat

You set my heart a blaze
With a single touch
I tried to fight it
But I'm so tired of the silence
And overwhelmed by the voices...

It's not easy to justify the happiness
While I'm staring down the barrel
of your smile

I don't know what's going on

The clouds were dark
but the ocean suggested different.
Close by the waves were
rough and murky.

Breaking on my side,
as if the water
was trying to save me.

The wind came up
and rain came down.

Raindrops scattered on my face,
while my eyes tried to focus
on the edge of the horizon.

Distracted by hope,
and the pure bliss of being...

alive

She crept onto me
like the moon did on darkness,
put her hand around my head
and whispered…
You are safe now

Trying to make the most of this life.

I fell in love next to you,

I must accept

There is no shame

having your name engraved on my heart.

Finally I could hold my whole world in my arms.

You drifting away into a dream…

I stole a kiss…

My heart may be rusty and hollow

But I cherish every moment I spend with you

I feel so close, even when we are distant.

Dreams collide as I try to imagine a world without you…

Holding on to something so precious.

Feeding my feelings with true lies

Swallow my best as I am ready to fall next to you

Separated hearts

One soul…

Controlling the uncontrollable

Revealing the changes of…

Revealing my true self to you.

Not a single word was said

But, the bitterness

in my heavy heart disappeared

as I remembered you.

Your eyes opened my world.

I have forgotten the past…

Only dreaming of a better place

Where I don’t sound so hollow…

On the leaves of yesterday…

Just imagine us chasing

After our waiting breaths

Recklessly hanging above your heart,

Considering the small changes your unstable soul seeks.

My soul remains nameless..

Unborn

Never set free

In my thoughts you sit next to me

I reach for your hand…

And nothing

I search for your enchanting eyes,

awaiting an innocent smile to set free

this desperate void inside of me.

Subtle movements in reality

Creates a dream of chaos

Weighing down my idealistic sentiment…

For now you don’t exist

But in my dreams an absurd reality is poisoning my alter ego…

Dissolving who I could be,

For what I am now…

In the cold September

Locked in your arms

Beneath the winter leaves ,

Far away from reality.

You were once a dream

I lay

I dreamt

Once a lie

I told

Presently, a destiny waiting

For precious time to pass.

As the passing days

burn holes in  my youth.

My heart has a burn mark

With your name on

My mind has a melody

Of your heart, beating

Never to be forgotten

Are those days spent together

The darkness of my dreams

Hold the secrets of the lies

My eyes once told.

Tell me its not my fault

Why should this be so hard?

I don’t know how this dream will end

But I’m sure when this nightmare ends.

I will open my eyes and

Find my finger between yours…

Shedding tears helps me realize

And I don’t need a cure…

Alongside mine…

Love is a sickness

And I don't need a cure

Clear the room before we get brave,

Set aside our pride to enter a new world of our own.

Guileless I lay strapped in your arms

Helplessly we wish for this moment never to end…

Heuristic we penetrate each others body’s

With an endless cry

I whisper to you,

My love.

Sharing our souls with one another in a sea of passion.

I lower my head as my lips touch your neck

My teeth penetrates your flesh with a risible whine.

I can taste the lust dripping of your face.

A sleepless sound enters your heart

Our eyes fixed on each other’s hearts

The truth of your sweat leaks again

Hanging above my head like a guillotine

Awaiting to behead the broken hearted end we head for.

There is no such thing as “the end” with you…

There are morals in this life I would rather not live with.

Is my mind losing itself on your beauty again?

The moon light falls munificently on your lips

The same callous scars from the truth above

Down beneath the sheets where the skies seem brighter

A moan is stuck in your  throat

Is my fantasy becoming a reality?

Love survives the pervasive attack

I kiss you before my scars show

I take you away,

I’ll take you away

To a safe place of our own

Together we fight for unaccepted love

Chased by the pain the goddess of reality

Rumbling pain over turned page..,

Our new beginning…

But

I close my eyes which have lost their color in battle

Blind! To see the true color of love…

I’d rather be blind…

The sun was slipping behind the mountains

Crushing frozen branches

As it was the only bit of nature left.

Birds could be heard in the distance,

As if winter had swallowed them whole…

Everything my eyes could see

a different shade of grey,but

Just as cold and dry the winter is

So cold is the love of my lover.

Failing tides

Snow falling

But none could be seen

beautiful.

Her heart is cold

And her love dry,

She tries to care…

A cold chill crosses my face

As she is starring into the darkness of my eyes,

Not scarred of the shadows,

But what my lay in them.
