I’d rather write than speak
My pen is always responsive
My ink doesn’t judge my mistakes
My paper doesn’t argue
My lines never cross me
My sentences never disappoint
And my words will never leave me


This is why i write!

my heart nearly stopped every time i had to cross her class
so let’s thank the queen for writing it down
before she’s just another thing i have to step over
all the rest have tickled my feet so far
and everything under construction reminds me that these days
the only remedy seems to be better luck and more cloud cover

i’ve been racing to crash on the couch
just to wake up to see if i have time for it all
and i want the stereotype to be true so i have nothing to cry about  
with the way things are going
you’d tell me not to be so brutal to myself
but the thrill i used to know is now paying its dues to the concrete

i was almost convinced i wasn’t asleep
when she whispered i love you to
nothing, everything may have changed
so this is not like anything i’ve never meant:

my heart nearly stopped with the regret of not talking to you
it's hard killing birds when you don't have any stones and
besides this time i think i've really done it
two days and this is already my favorite story but
second chances don't have to be so mysterious
maybe i just wanted to see you smile again

i should have said it w/o one of and the U after the L
still choosing U over M
and your pull showed my hands a home in the back of your denim
two across the channel makes the significant not so, if you want it
i’ll keep looking for you so long as you
don’t stop drawing me maps

when i died in my indecision then
your smooch showed me heaven
you’re the closest thing with love  
i’ve ever tasted

i wish you knew how much i mean that……

She is in love with questions
And the lilting world of words,
With the fabric of philosophy
And the taste of fresh ideas.

She is in love with the smell of green
And the shifting sands in a desert of dreams,
With the hunt for profound moments,
And the hunger-lust for purpose.

She is in love with his poetry
And all his words cross her planet,
With patterns of chain reactions
And the way we cog and gear.

She is in love with pools of stardust
And fanciful notions of theory,
With darkness, deep and coveted
And the fabric it is made from.

She is in love with one who is writing these.
And drowned with the poisoned past he bathes in,
With being perpetually lonesome
And floating twixt life’s sabulous banks.

She is in love with memories, and the universe,
And Him.

With my choking heart, I’m grasping at dust,
And I am in love with her.

Those hazel eyes
Are staring at me
With no words
With no sounds
It's as if they have a million
Words locked

Once I was told
"Eyes never lie though they can't speak"
Those hazel eyes
are telling me the truth.
"Words are never enough"

No need to speak
No need words
Those hazel eyes
Are telling me everything

The world stops for a while
And so does my heartbeat
I'm slowly falling on my knees
While staring at those hazel eyes

Some love is lost and some love gets found
Some won’t even bother to look up when love comes around
Sometimes we are here
Sometimes you’re over there
Regardless my love will follow you any and everywhere
Love is faithful
Love is kind
It is also mentioned that love is blind
Love won’t choose to go this way or that
It will only be all that it is and that is a fact
Love is as new and yet familiar as the rising sun
But even it will set when love is all said and done
Right when you least expect it, it will come to shine again
Just to remind you that there is truly no end

I'm living for
all the love in the world
All the love you're giving me
All the love I'm receiving.

I'm living for
all the love in the world
The love you're looking for
The love you're needing.

I'm living for
all the love in the world
The love you're expecting
the love you're never receiving.

I'm looking for
all the love in the world
The love you're hoping for
the love you're living for.

I thank you for
all the love in the world
The one I wasn't expecting
The one when I wasn't looking for.

I'm praying for
all the love in the world
The one that is coming
and the one that is hiding.
