I am drowning
in a sea ravaged
by storm.

I couldn't keep up
with the onslaught
of waves.

My arms are getting numb,
my legs are burning,
my lungs are slowly
loosing oxygen.

Try as I might,
I can't swim back
ashore.

And slowly,
I stopped moving
and I let the waves
bring me down.

And I am sinking.

Sinking deeper
in the abyss
of an addled mind.

Sinking in the
comforting hands
of insanity.

Sinking in the lilting
voice of madness.

I miss you sea
I miss you in the morning
I miss your fingers
and the faces you trace
the faces you assume in sand
I miss the feel of you
cool on my skin
I miss the sting of you
but most of all I miss you when I sleep
when you whisper the most
I know you are there
you are a quiet chaos I  don't quite hear

warm 
will 
come 

her 
smile will 
pierce society's crowd of 
chilling frowns and 
let downs 

to 
reach 
you

she’ll 
melt away the cold 
(un)numb your hope and 
confidence

her 
rich rhymes 
will ripple through your veins 
restore 
trust to a 
heart tattered 
by misused love and 
kindness

with 
combine effort 
you and she will stabilize 
emotional messes 
happiness 
will vibrate from 
your tongues and speak of 
endless days 
filled with love, laughter and
adventure 

yes...

its cold now 

but... 

warm 
is 
on 
her 
way

this little number
is for your sake
cause if you know
just how I feel
I won't have to fake
make no mistake
this is the quake
inside us both
if you hold me near
you can feel it too
you take away my blue
make me feel alive
anyways,
I think I love you

She opens a window
and hopes for the sky
to fall in from outside
and it's tailwind bring

her the moon and the clouds
lined with silver, a crowd
of the finest of stars
and a spare pair of wings..

So deep my eyes do stare
Into your soul through your heart
And slowly I fall
Farther and farther down
Into a sea of hopeless affection

Slowly drowning in thoughts of moments together
Yet so far apart
