Yeah I'm in the clouds tonight
I don't want to fall
Girl lets play a game
It's been over a year
I never thought I'd see your face again
I had to get away
Escape the life I made
You knew you couldn't hang
Do you still love me
Do you still love me
When the lights fade
And you can't see my face

☁️

You and I
Just you and I
Can I do you right
Oh baby please can I do you right
It's only 2:35 in the morning
You see it's only 2:35 in the morning
So lay yourself down in my bed
Yeah girl come lay yourself down in my bed
A night with me will change your ways
One time with me will change your ways
I hope you don't cry by the end of the night
Because girl if you cry by the end of the night
I may have to leave you and never come back
I will leave you and never come back

☁️

As the city continues to grow crowded, and concrete confines the mind, the birds up north begin their epic journey, breaking free, leaving their homes behind, from high above the year’s first snow, the birds must think, I bet humans wish they could fly away from it all.

The fall came without notice,
both caught unaware.
How could something so special,
turn in to such a nightmare?
On the outside,
they hid it well.
But we all knew,
the demons they both shared.

Careful observations of the
changing leaves
A daily reminder that
our lives
Are not so different than
the trees
Beauty on display above that
chilled ground
Just to fall from our
high perch
Just to be
cut down

Down the hatch it went
A lit match
With an aged twist
Friends warn you
Of what’s to come
Tellin’ you
The end is no longer out of sight
Your body craves it
Your arms shake
As you laugh on
Trembling through the night
Swallowing
A lit match
With an aged twist

While standing behind the espresso machine, another latte on the way, a wrinkled man walked his dog in the neighborhood nearby, shuffling across the fallen leaves, following the path that he and his love discovered all those years ago, approaching the bench, that overlooked a pond, the man whispered to the dog, what a great evening for a cup of coffee.

Can't you see that you're all that I have now
No ones here but you to feel my pain
All I ask from you is a simple favor
Maybe take away my pain for the day

Can't you see that I am trying
These days I don't know who's to blame
The world could have been ours and much more
I ask myself why did you stay

Can't you see that we lost it all
The spark we once had has now fade
I look for answers in darkness
The future for us is not great

Can't you see that you're all that I have girl
So please don't leave me this way
My life has been full of disappointment
Without you there's no need for me

☁️

How many poems can I write
How many poems can I write
About the girl I want to call mine
Maybe one more time
I can write
Until she finds me
She will one day see
All these poems that I write
All these poems that  I write
Were all for her
Just please girl don't ask for anymore

☁️

on mornings, like these
i sit
among the trees

Autumn, about to unfold
the leaves
are turning gold

the breeze, brushes by
as if
the woods are saying hi

i cannot describe, mornings like these
when i sit
among the trees

I struggled to recognize
myself in the mirror this morning.
Nothing feels the same.
Even the coffee has lost it's taste.
It's as if you added the flavor to my life.
All the colors do not shine the way they once did.
Without your vibrant smile,
I now hardly see the light of day.  
The echoes in the silence have grown closer,
I need a way to ease this pain.

we are all running around, blind
in a place so fragile
this world
all these lies

the darkness comes from inside
and i can feel it tonight
so hold on
hold on tight

i remember the ways we touched
every time
as if it was our first time
together as one

i cannot begin to explain
the feelings i feel today
i have nothing here without you
i have no spark to inspire my day

As you grow,
you find things move faster and faster
You come to appreciate,
the people that bring you laughter
The ones that give you love,
and make you feel like you really matter

It is important to note,
that these people are far and few between
So as you grow,
Just remember the future is unforeseen

Last night when I saw you
There were tears in your eyes
I had to find a way
To cover up these lies

We had built this life
Fueled with lust
Filled with pain
So little trust

Who is to blame

Reflecting on how I feel
Looking at what we had
Thinking the love was real
Now I lost myself, loving you

Now I lost myself, loving you

Aware of everything
But paying attention to one thing  
Balancing on this ball we call life
Most do not know
What it takes to create the spark
A life worth living
Filled with desire and passion
Always leaving your mark

I've been to beautiful beaches
I've felt the sand beneath my feet
Standing there in that open breeze
I've never felt more free

I've seen enormous cities
I've rushed around all day
Standing in that electric crowd
I've never felt this way

I've climbed the greatest mountains
I've had my breath taken away
Standing nearly in the sky
I've never seen the earth this way

I've come to realize one thing
I've been running and running from something
Standing on the moonlight shore
I've never felt this way before

☁️

Simply stunning.
So divine.

A bed of peonies,
                               grow thicker.
Sweet, subtle touch.
Summertime.

Year after year,
                          the bed will be there.
For comfort.
Who could ask for more?

Look out the window,
                                       the moonlight shore.
The waves crashing beneath.
Just out of reach.                  

We have so much here,
                                        to live for.

Sleepless nights
Sleepless nights
Can you come over girl
I need some inspiration
Restless thoughts
Restless thoughts
The voices in my head won't stop
This is not who I am
I'm trapped
I'm trapped
In my own mind
Exhausting days
Turn to sleepless nights

☁️

Don't go trying to stop me
from breaking free
Like a bird in a cage
let me spread my wings and be me

One night you came to me asking why
and you began to cry
I know words hurt
so I lied to your face

Another trip around the sun
and my lies have come full circle
We knew the time had come
the flame that was once there is now gone

Love is a tricky game
when two people come together
One moment you are crying on the floor
the next it has you begging for more

Did he touch you like this
Hold the temptations in
Or let them spill
No more hesitation
Tonight is your night
This is not a drill
Body on body
Chasing the thrill

Leaves began to fall that morning, as the crisp November wind brushed by. It was as if Autumn was saying hello to those who had the daily walk to the jobs that provided just enough to scrape by. In this part of the world, personal transportation— or a beat-down car— was a luxury that most, oftentimes, did not have the riches to get ahold of. So people took to walking down to that bus stop. No matter the weather, no matter a blue or black sky, that bus stop was where people came together.

How is it so
That you are the calm
And the storm

A force to be reckoned with
Show me your ways
Then show me more

You built these walls
So high
Yet I still try

To learn your ways
And how to ride out
The storm

what in life brings you pleasure?
a certain touch, one that cannot be measured
what in life brings you pain?
her taking off, so you could wait
for her return
in vain

As I sit and stare at this blank page
I begin to think about one thing
Do I leave and follow my dream?

                                                                                            Or stay with you?
These days I don't know what to do

This is it
This is goodbye
I get it
Why even try

These clouded thoughts
As I think of what to say
To you
Before you leave me today

I miss the feelings
Knowing you were there
Thinking about me
When you close your eyes

Without you I am not quite sure
What to do
When the cold wind blows
Who knows where I will go

If I promised you things
Would you leave everything you have
And come with me
Please
Come with me

☁️

To those out there that read about my world, and keep coming back for more.


Thank you
I mean that from the bottom of my heart
Without you all
I would not have made it this far
Things are getting better
Even though
Sometimes I wake up
Not remembering a thing from the night before
But what some don't realize
Is that this is what I live for




ohhhhhhh
ohhh

ohhh yeahhh




I'll have you coming back for more

☁️

we built these walls
we built it all
we built these cities
we will one day, watch them fall

we hold it all in
we hold back the pain
we hold back the anger
we must learn, we must gain

we must learn
we must grow
we will in time
we will show

escape from the city
escape from the insanity
escape from these walls
escape from it all

Because of your past,
                                     you built these walls,
                                     and held it all in.

But then you came across me,
                                                     and began to see,
                                                     that things could maybe be different.

The flame started to burn.
                                              
            ­                                 We felt as if we could conquer it all.

I lucked out
With a friend like you
Striking gold
You are superior
You are something to behold
Conversations in the dark
Come with convincing choice words
Please—tell me again
All the things that you prefer

You see the cracks on the walls
Oh how I've weathered so many storms
A few to many, have hit too hard
Leaving me with cracks
And scars from the past
Nothing makes sense anymore
These storms, they come too fast

☁️

Somehow
I have managed
To forget the weight
All the self doubt
All the self hate
I begin to crumble
You begin to manipulate
Stuck in this cycle
Somehow
Has become my fate

dancing about
             light on my
                                feet.
dancing about
             is this a      
                                dream?
dancing about
             will you join
                                me?
dancing about
              your love set me
                                free.

April showers — in May
The flowers cannot breathe
I cannot breathe
Rest easy
Friend
These tears run down my cheek
What a disastrous — delicate day

The fabric of my pillowcase
Matches your eyes
As I close mine
My mind begins to memorialize

Like adolescents we were
Jumping over a fire
Hand in hand
The love and desire

Embracing one another
Now part of the scenery
The sun begins to fall
Oh, the irony

Gliding through the night
Our tongues collide
With dew on the grass
We hold on for the ride

I'm far from perfect
I'm far from perfect
But you see
I don't want to be

There are so many things
There are so many things
You don't know
You'll have to wait and see

And with time you may find out
And with time you may find out
All the different sides
To me

What is there for me to do? There's so much in this world you have not seen. How can you speak about love? Without you, I'm full of pain. And emptiness remains. I beg for your forgiveness. I begin to feel the shame. I said we were too young. But I'm begging you to stay. Please don't leave me in this empty world. Let's try another day. Do you see that if you don't speak of love, everything will be ok?

☁️

Every night I think of you, when I lay down in bed. It feels so empty here now, your face won't leave my head. At the time we were too young, still green in this unforgiving world. You thought it was best to grow apart, now I need something new to live for.

☁️

This desk has no name,
no face,
no personality associated with it;
it hurts,
it stings,
it drains all my energy away.

the heat is rising, again and again
as the sun says goodnight.
our bodies boarders, together
holding on tight.
following our goosebumps, touch
leads the way.
more and more, we become one
endless love.

enjoy these words
in silence
value every line
you might try
to look right through me
in an attempt
to dampen the shine

I don't talk too much
People talk too much
Don't you agree
Don't you agree
I hope you see
I hope you see
That you shouldn't
That you shouldn't
Have faith in me
Please have faith
In me

☁️

Follow me
Girl please follow me
Nothing is the same
Some nights I feel no pain
This is just a broken tape
This is just a broken tape
And girl I will give you all I have
All I have
All I have
Baby you're going to make me go insane
So please give me all of you

But only for tonight

You would follow me
Oh you

You would follow me

☁️

you deserve more than me

☁️

You could have it all,
but you don't believe me.
Why keep running and running?

"I wanna be free"

Let me give you some advice,
do what feels right.
But don't give up on me,
as the fire burns bright.
So join with me,
as we take on the night.

Don't fall in love
Baby please
Don't fall in love


You know I'll leave
Oh girl
You know I'll leave


You know
I'll leave

☁️

How I missed the sand beneath my feet
Waves crashing in the background
These sights
They can't be beat
Look out the window
The moonlight shore
Something about this place
Has me wanting more
There is nothing stopping you, Grace
We have so much here to live for

I wish I could feel this
What's real anymore?
Maybe, just maybe
All I need is your kiss

Maybe, just maybe
You could save me from this dark abyss
Please hurry, please save me
From this dark abyss

Please hurry,
Please save me
These ropes hang from the ceiling
Ropes don't you see

These ropes hang from the ceiling
You left me with no feelings
No other way for me to move on
That's why, ropes hang from the ceiling

No other way for me to move on
This might finally be the time
For me to get gone
So goodbye world, make sure my name lives on.

Late night thoughts
You say this world is dark
Escape from your life
Open your mind
For without darkness
A star cannot shine

☁️
