I remember when we knitted
Our fingers together
And our lives interwove.
They eventually became whole,

And they eventually broke.


-- Eleanor
I fell
I slept
And wished
Upon an astral projection
My state was not that of lucidity
But rather, it was that of harmony
Connectivity
Intertwining with the weaves and sinews and basket-like patterns
That are the universe
Our minds
Forming a collective soul
A collective consciousness
One
Everyone seeing the same projection
In completely different realities
I fell
I slept
I saw
One
I have lived myself into a box
I can hear people talking and laughing on the outside
sometimes I can even see light through the cracks in the walls
but no matter how hard I try to climb
throw my self against the invisible walls
shout into the silence that surrounds my heart
I am all alone in the dark
You told me not to be sad
When the rain starts pouring,
I should dance and enjoy
Under the rain.

So that's what I did,
Dancing to the beat of the taps
As the rain falls,
Remembering you.

But you were like the rain,
Just when I'm in the heights of my emotions,
Just when I was falling hard for you,
You stopped, left.

You left me cold and wet,
You know,
You could have been
The arms that wrapped me tight.
If love was a dime a dozen
It would grow on trees.
Calling things are that wasn't
Is not reality.

It doesn't serve a useful purpose
To hold on to the wind,
Or to just accept the surface
When so much more's within.

It's time to be the bigger person,
Admit there's nothing there.
Everybody's only hurting'
If we pretend not to care.

The butterfly is really pretty,
Only if you let it fly.
No matter how smart or witty,
You won't catch it if you try.

It may take a bit more looking
But you still may not be pleased.
It's not some fish you may be hooking;
Plus love doesn't grow on trees!
It materialised in my mind
a notion that could reshape my life
It was the prize I was born to find
I  debated whether or not it was mine
then I scribbled it between the lines
solely an idea thats where it lies
If i gave you my heart we would split.
you might do some sh*t
And spit on it.
We would quit.
If i gave you my heart just a little bit.

If i gave you my heart this would die.
I'd probably tell you lies,
Make you cry
And not know why.
If i gave you my heart we would say goodbye.

If i gave you my heart you'd be gone.
You'd probably find reasons to carry on,
Or be reborn,
And i would mourn.
if i gave you my heart our lives would be torn.

If i gave you my heart we'd pretend.
Then you and I would quickly end,
Though now we blend,
We'll never mend.
If i gave you my heart we would not stay friends.

Water so blue, trickles during the night,
Along with the sounds of birds taking flight,
The croaking of frogs, hiding behind leaves,
And the small water bird that sits on the eaves.
A smell comes to me, of water on rocks,
And the mixture of what the night dew concocts.
Smooth algae in dark places, where it grows so quick,
Green leafy foliage, against a background of brick,
The chill of the night soon fades away,
Warmth from the sun, brings the dawn of a new day.
Bubbles are popping, down near the water,
Where fish await servants with their breakfast order,
As I wait for the brisk of morn to pass,
I taste the dew amid the freshly cut grass.
The sun confirms that a new day is dawning,
But all I want is to enjoy this morning.

You're the words of love
with every turn of the page
of my life, that burns
bright in the night,
and sets the day's scene
just right,
for the love you
bring, starts the story
to sing, and the melody
drifts through every chapter
like mists surrounding me,
and you continue the tune,
with every page
that I view,
from the beginning,
until the end,
and then I re-read
it all over again,
the book that you've
entitled, "I Love You"
-because the story is true:
"I love you, too!"
