Were full of thought,
          but empty of
                 understanding.

A singular drop of knowledge
          can be lost within
a puddle of unknowns.

But a single droplet
            can still make ripples
that show us that waves

don't have to be big, to understand everything.

What if the world felt everything except love? Would there would be any hate in the world? Could people feel betrayed, hurt or lost? Or can they be truly happy. But how can they be happy if they can’t love. In all honesty love surrounds us even when we don’t realize it. It’s such a crucial piece of our lives and it affects us In the most inconvenient way. It brings us together, it destroys our conscious, but it brings us back up again in the most beautiful way and it’s so hard to avoid that undeniable truth. Love is you. Love is the kids playing outside, or a dog playing with a tennis ball. There is so much good in this world. Yet people are so selfish to put their hate and anger towards one person or many. All I have to say is open your eyes and find the bigger picture. And the bigger picture is you. Don’t forget that. So fall in love, make mistakes, and most of all love the life you’ve been given because you are unique. In no other world that we know of there is life. Only our earth and between space and the cosmos no thread of life can be found. Except this glorious world full of life and love. So when you are having doubts or regretting something you’ve done, remind to yourself that you are a human being filled with wonders living life either at a fast pace or a slow pace. Remember someone loves you don’t forget that. I love you.

love is not enough
this was beyond my comprehension
love i thought was all consuming
eternal
that when you fall in love
it was everything
became
everything

and how can everything- not be enough?

and love was the way i thought
all consuming
every moment of my life started and ended with her
every time i wanted it was for her
to touch, hold, kiss
she snaked her way into my future and gripped tightly
i never wanted her to let go
and love
became my entire soul
to my core, a glowing white bulb of pure energy and light
and it felt like so much more than enough
it felt like floating
it felt like life

i had to remind myself that she loved me

then it became clear
when i was chanting meaningless words to calm myself, she loves me, she loves me, she-

everything- felt so small

you loved me

I believe you

and still you are miles and miles away and my love that felt boundless, endless

wasn’t enough

not for you

I love you, but-

but

I didn’t hear you when you said it
I wish I did
When you said-

But I know I can’t do this

i wish i had heard your words when my everything
became nothing
When the camera zoomed out on my life and i realized how small i was

so sweet like red wine
yet surprised by your wet kiss

Imagine falling from the highest peak.
Zero spiral, a free fall that triggers vertigo.
Limbs elevating to the sky,
as if the torso was of a separate part of an apparatus.
Body aiming straight towards the ground like an anchor sinking in the sea.
Wind passes through your hair,
and rustles violently against your ears.
Can you imagine?
Gravitational pull,
it drags you down.
An indescribable sensation;
a sensation that leaves you further and further from reality,
As all becomes a blur.
A feeling of sheer emptiness;
for as brief as a second,
Every certainty becomes a questionable factor.
For even just an instant,
time extends; from a moment into an eternity.
And 'Temporary' becomes a word without definition.
It resonates in the mind of those who fear the fall;
Those who live with a brain numbing fear of the uncontrollable.
Eventually this miniature infinity will come to a halt, 
As a strange entity ultimately breaks the fatal fall.
Once again, going back to the embrace of a great cocoon of protection.
And although that brief moment was your greatest fear,
it also became your greatest conquest.
With each glance back at the grotesque heights,
a smile would surface.
Because secretly, you know you loved it.

Sit tight. Do nowt. Say nowt.Hear all. See all.
Watch the deadly idiotboard of news unfurl.
Watch the deserving rich desert the poor.

A featureless snowstorm of foreign fear,
eyes glazing over, lacking focus. Fearing
zealots within and without. Without power
of intervention. Beyond comprehension.
