Did you know
That the waves of the ocean
Crash over themselves
In a shivering rush to marvel
At the glassy globes
Encased on either side
Of the bridge of your nose?
Will Feb 2018
... to whisper sweet nothings into your ear long into the night.
... to journey across the globe in search of an ocean as deep as my love.
... to hold you in my arms while vowing never to let you go.
... to kiss your tender lips with my own.
... to envelop your long brown hair between my fingers.
... to glide my hands across your body.
... to drive a thousand miles just to be closer to you.
... to glide through the clouds by the sound of your laugh.
... to nudge my nose against yours as our foreheads touch.
... to climb every mountain, canyon, and cave just to rescue you from peril.
... to bend down on one knee and ask you to be with me for all of eternity.

My home is the axis.
I am everywhere at once
but still I am lost.
I can show you the world
but you will experience nothing.
Sometimes I worry that I will be forgotten
as I am simply a starting point
for greater things ahead.
I wish I could travel in another direction.
These circles are tiring.
I radiate knowledge from my plump ***-belly,
but inside,
I know far less than you.
I accommodate the whole world,
but my shell still fits in your hands.
I lodge the scorching swelter of the deserts,
but I only feel warmth between your palms.
I breathe the icy air of Antarctica,
but the only snow that bothers me
is the grey blanket that sits on my surfaces
when you are gone for a while.
My home is simply the axis.
I wander all the places  
but still I am no where to be found.
(Poem about a globe spinning on an axis)

Deep breadth, breathe...
I try to find,
but its been lost,
for quite some time.
——
Snowflakes, fall...
in crispy air,
but not a breadth,
can I find there.
——
Tall boots, crunch...
the white below,
as four feet meet,
in foot-thick snow.
——
Dimples, melt...
into a smile,
as loose cheeks chatter
all the while.
——
Deep breadth, breathe...
Still not there.
But not because,
of frosty air.
——
Brown eyes, brown...
Now gaze in mine,
as snowflakes pause
in frozen time.
——
Deep breadth, breathe...
With ice-cold lips.
A snow globe world;
A snow globe kiss.
——
Deep breadth, breathe...
My glass life shook.
For now she gives,
the breadth she took.

I'm stuck in a snow globe
yet
I'm lost
No one can see me
like a lint particle on a robe
or
the heat of the sun trapped within frost
Book covers are very deceiving
you think you know
but
your beliefs are false

maybe i'll continue convincing myself that equal amounts of
rays & rain = rainbows;
maybe a quarter of this water
equates to tears
(can't tell if they're the clouds'
or mine);
explain to me why two thirds of my mind
is flung halfway across the globe;
maybe friends are discovered
like how you'd find your shadow
(too busy being blinded by the streetlights to look back)

// maybe a fraction of me
refuses to ignore this feeling //
inspired by the song Lose the feeling by Sundara Karma
Paraphrase Aug 2017
Maybe,
One winter morning,
In landscapes very different,
From here.

Brews,
A gentle snow,
As soft as light grazing against,
Water, so clear.

Maybe,
Outside your heavy doors,
You'll walk into canvases of white,
And blue.

Waters,
Frozen still,
Like I wish this moment was,
With you.

The winter's cold,
On freezing, uncovered fingers,
Will feel less harsh,
Than time.

We're trapped,
In a snow globe,
But I'd stay for as long as you
Were mine.

SYRIA HAS CHEMICAL WEAPONS
RUSSIA HAS HACKING BEAT
NORTH KOREA WITH GUIDED MISSILES
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP WITH HIS TWEETS


THERE IS WAR ALL AROUND US
UNREST ACROSS THE GLOBE
U.K. NOW HAS BREXIT UNLEASHED
AND HARRY HAS A BETROTHED


WHAT IS A BOY TO DO
WHEN OUR WORLD IS IN A MESS
JUST HAVE SOME CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM
AND PUT IT ALL TO REST
OUR WORLD IS IN TURMOIL WAR EVER WHERE AND COUNTRIES AT EACH OTHERS THROATS LETS JUST CHILL.

HUH
I HAVE BEEN IN THE HOODS OF CLOUDS
THE SPACE WAS CLEAR AND THE VIEW NEVER APPEARED
BLUE
CLOUDS WOULD GET SAD IN THE DAYS LIKE WE HUMAN
AND SPACE NEVER QUARRELED

DAYS PAST AND THE RANGE AND THE MOUNTAIN IN THE SKY
STARTED SO MELT
I NEVER SHOWED FEAR IN MY EYES CAUSE OF THE WORDS
NO ONE THOUGHT ABOUT WHO THE WORLD WAS DYING
IN OUR HANDS

NONE OF THIS PEOPLE WHO ARE UP THE CAN SEND THOSE STACK
SPECK OF DISAPPEARING SPACES
WHO IS WHO
AND OUR GENERATION
SO TAKE TIME AND THING ABOUT

EVERYTHING ELSE NEED TO LIFE AND THE DICTATION OF THIS
ARE NOT MADE FOR ALL
BRILLIANTS ARE NOT THERE TO **** AND NEVER CONSIDER ABOUT LIFE
