I found a corner in my mind,
barren, if not for a box.
I dare not visit, or stand to close,
or it may begin to talk.

What if, how come, why not,
maybe so, maybe not,
Try it on, this weighty coat,
see if you can float.

But I begin to fall,
and spiral down,
and lose all control.

So I take some tape,
and surely seal this container,
of my woes.
And hope and pray,
that one day,
I can somehow let it go.

I wait
I sit and wait
Nothing
Nothing comes
Nothing goes
Empty and alone
I still wait
I still sit and wait
Still nothing
Still nothing comes
Still nothing goes
Still empty and alone

The sun must be very lonely
The moon has all the stars of the night sky for company
I have much in common with the sun
The sun has to rise everyday all alone
Shine bright so not as to show its weakness
Pouring out endless waves of warmth and light
An instigator of growth and life
Always in someone’s eye craving attention
Some people can’t handle our intensity
We are too bright
People celebrate as the sun leaves the party and gives way to the moon
People curse to see us in the morning, always too soon
Always too excited to be here
They don’t want us to go but never seem happy that we show up or stay.

Nerve wracking,
Gritted teeth
Shattering,
Fascinating and
Exhilerating.

A kid in a toy store,
Overwhelmed and
Joyous, I can
Feel the magic
Surrounding you.

Violet hue around
A face of blue,
No one wears excitement
Like you do.
How I want to kiss you.

My hands aching,
You’re breathtaking.
Touch me so that
I may stop shaking.
I’m yours for the taking.

Just like the switch
to this ******* room,
I wish there was a switch
to turn off this heart,
this soul and
this mind.

she looked at me with anxious eyes
biting her lip as if to hold on to a secret
"love me slowly"
she whispered with fear in her heart
as if the love I had for her
would run out
like sand through an hourglass
