Shut slowly. Inch, inch - quietly careful
Tirelessly weary
Ever so close yet seemingly distant

Before air could Not pass, a slight crooked hand slips through the seal
The eyes believe its a welcoming shake, so opening - inch, inch
It's gilded gleam deludes, the captured gaze. Ones Hypnotized.
Before you could open your eyes....

The charred hand covered in scars of the past shakes yours.

Do feelings come fast?
Hatred burns inside?
Do you recoil from the truth?

The past the present. Works the same. Yet if you let it, the past will hold - from the present....
Always, when your door inches towards you, Close your eyes and..... Shut!
Needing to move forward but something from the past is holding you back

you cannot fault one person for changing
it is the nature of human beings
we change as the years pass by
we change as the situation change.

we change in each era of our lives.

you cannot fault one person for changing
changing, it is like breathing
the rise and fall of our chest
inhale
exhale.

'you guys used to be close', they said.

but sometimes as we grow up,
we change direction,
we change our minds,
and we end up being in different roads
that leads us into two entirely different places

with the little thought in the back of our minds
that our roads will unite again
at some point in our life.

4am
I lay here between cold sheets
Wide awake in dark room
While you are drowned in sleep
I can only envision your face
Saying your name on repeat
Broke as a broken record playing
Yearning for your arms to encompass
Like an addict on rebounds
A question with all wrong answers
Psychedelic story I lived you
Held too close to let you go
You are saturated in my bones
Your thoughts invading my mind
Razor sharp words ripping me apart
A friend of Misery.

I am going to kiss you longer
Hold you more often stonger
Just in case
The time invades
I will love you more than ever
So no regrets like this is forever
I am alone because you disappeared in the smoke you created around you.

and asked me what movie
I was watching.

I was lucky.

That's the most he has
spoken to me in weeks.
"You are the one I want to talk to when the rain is hitting hard against my window.
You are the one I want close enough to touch but I know that wont happen for a while.
You are the one I want to tell my deepest darkest secrets to at the most ungodly hours of the night.
You are the one."

I crave for your body,
pushed against my own,
your kisses down my neck,
the whispers in my ears,
the passion we create,
through our simple,solid actions,

I crave for your body,
hot,wild and ready,
resisting my temptations,
driving me insane,

I crave for your body,
Eager,willing and curious,
The night ahead our fantasies to be fulfilled

I crave for your body,
****, luscious and curvy,
One I only imagine,
my adventurous side to unwind with,

I crave for your body,
with mine all night,
loving and lusting,
bringing our deepest images to life.

tangible but not,
this was how I painted him
that I may see him everyday.
As realistic as I could,
soon I saw him stare back at me.
But then I realized:
even if his face was so close to mine,
his eyes were distant, a gaze so lost.
Even if my hands grazed over his,
our fingers wouldn't entwine, a touch so cold.
I was this close to having him by my side,
but he was still so far away.
You were realistic,
but you weren't real.
sometimes i feel a connection with paintings, as it is with those pictures of you, wjh.
