why you have no idea,
of the warm & small feelings i hold,
the more time i spend stoking us up,
the better & brighter the colours burn,
however i must be weary,
as playing with fire can lead to burns,
to many have happened before,
fire from my life.
for H.V but you'll probably never see this

I've been dreaming lately.
Painting watercolor images on the canvas in my mind
Watching romantic movies on my eyelids
Singing in my sleep.
I dream that I confess everything to you
The way that I feel, what I truly think
And I even place my heart in your hands.
I wake up whispering "I love you".
Sometimes your forehead is resting on mine as I say it
Other times you're walking away...
The scenario continues to change,
But the result is always the same...
I continue to love you.

"hey babe,"
you call me, we talk
for hours at a time

I say something
your voice, that laugh
ring out to me like a chime

who thought intimacy
would be gained from a simple thing
connection from communicate

a simple concept
which you and i pull off,
*breathtakingly

muse, oh my muse,
please stay so I don't lose,
the feelings and memories
which make me feel close to you
*~{~.~}~
muse, you know who you are;)

a degree of encounters
feel so meaningless
masks up and pointless chatter
association

cameras rolling
my act must carry
there is no place for sadness
in this empty heart

the cold night air
seems to be
the only thing keeping my company.
well that and the feelings swelling.

you call me names
but do you really know
the meaning they hold
and the effect they have

but there is one thing
you will never understand
see, hear or have
my internal awareness

your insensitivity
astounds
the essences to life
hold that tongue of yours

life is so unexpectedly ordinary
next you jump right into adventure
turn of a corner changed everything
what lies ahead?

could it lead to my once up on a time
or a perilous downfall
the only way to tell is to have faith
and trust in your fate

I fall, jump and bound into this unknown
and hope it's the right choice
you and I will never know what is ahead
*unless we try this path together
