allure
we are but the sand and the ocean.
you are the sand
warm, fine, comforting, golden
people always seem
to walk all over you,
but not me
for I am the ocean
deep, brave, pure, peaceful
and I try so hard to get to you
but every time I push myself
I always end up trickling back to where I belong
it's not fair
I want to belong to you

Neither had time to
meet each other.

When they finally agreed
to meet, time did not agree
to be a witness.
Walking hand in hand
Long wet kisses in the night
Laughing over nonsense
Reading love letters by candlelight

Breathing in the salty ocean air
Walking through the pastures
with wild flowers
everywhere

Holding the love that holds yours back
Making future plans
without a future
Sort of like the life
of the trapeze *******

Back and forth
until one day you fall

lost cause
if i wrote my future
all would be changed
from the way i was raised
to the thoughts in my brain
if i wrote my future
no love would be lost
so i’d stand right beside you
no matter the cost
if i wrote my future
i’d bring nothing but peace
and save you from sorrow
and the darkness that creeps
if i wrote my future
you’d still be here
but you wrote my future
and i did nothing
but stare
Sometimes a second is all it takes
a moment of silence for those who are gone,
I don't even know what I've done.
But maybe that's the thing,
for I have done, not a single thing.
We are surrounded by darkness
and here I am guiding you,
I have lent you all my light
and now I've lost sight.

you've drifted into the vast ocean,
longing for a new light.

You didn't stay for too long,
too bad you only got lost.
But still, I met you.
"When oceans roar and the storm gets strong, I'll be your lighthouse"
Your fingers caressed the keys
like a gentle waltz
I was utterly transfixed
by the way you carried a conversation
I shivered at each note
the melody resonated within
You were telling the piano about me.

slip your fingers
where longing rages
