I was on a high
for a moment of frailty
that my heart caused
as I beheld his eyes of augury.

Now I don’t want to live a lie
I just want to live my life  
But for now let’s play it by ear
In this world that’s so surreal
I can wait with you my dear
Happiness is not far from here

Let the mountains run high
With the moon so low
Feel the wind upon your face
And let’s be mindful
That the world is a beautiful place

See the water falling from the sky
Remind me
We were gifted
The dimension of time
But I grow older with every tide
And I have moved on
From this calamitous life of mine

Yes, I know it’s late,
But im tired and emotionally vulnerable,
So this ones for you.

I always said I hated high school,
Looking back, it was simple.
I hung out with you and the others all the time,
And everything was easy.

Also, you were a part of my life,
Probably the best part,
even if you weren’t mine
I was wrapped around your heart,
Soaking in the last scent of your unforgettable perfume.
Its whatever now, I’ll be fine

How did I get to this point?
Am I so alone I have to look back years ago?
Or is the future so bleak I have no choice?
Im not too sure,
Call it a combo, call it neither

All I know is
Now I have a bunch of old pictures of us pulled up,
And I cant help but bring back,
All of the joyous pain and heartache
I so long suffered with

I’ll never forget the night I met you
And texting my friend so excited after
“Dude she’s beautiful”
“She’s so cool”
I couldn’t get enough,
I was hooked

You’ve helped me grow
You’ve helped me develop
Into who I am today
For that, thank you
I love you.

oh, look at the time,
you ****** this hazy head of mine,
oh, baby, would you look at the time?
you ****** this hazy head of mine,
bye-bye,
oh, you ****** this hazy head of mine,
bye-bye,
oh, look at the time,
you ****** this hazy head of mine,
oh, baby, would you look at the time?
you ****** this hazy head of mine,
you’re my medicine.
I went to the canyon
To see the sights
To read the writes
To meet the heights
The heights were high
The lows were right
But something didn’t click

The tears didn’t run
The breath wasn’t taken
Yeah it was cool but I’m not mistaken
I wanted to be blown off that cliff
But the wind fell short, the air was stiff

Never have I met my sense of awe
I hope we’ll meet someday
I’m holding out hope that I find my strike
That I’ll be blown away
I was trying a new style with this one. It’s more rhyme oriented. This one might seem stiff but I’ll get more comfortable with it. I want to diversity my poetry a little bit.

You've always been able to do
That,
Fill my head with all these
Beautiful thoughts.
To the point that I feel
Like I am floating
Up in the sky where every
Cloud reminds me of you.
Sometimes I think it's funny.
Picturing myself as a balloon.
Swollen head.
Little body dangling below.
No matter how high I get,
Floating inside this love of yours.
I promise not to float too
Far away.
Knowing the sky is filled with
You

Words dripping in desire
like the oozing thickness of honey;
it's too sticky and hard for me to swallow.

Love is so strange at this altitude

I crave going downtown
Feeling your hair follicles against my tongue
I want a cup of tea when I wake up
With nothing but your morning breath in it
I want your odor to stick to my clothes

I used to hate the quiet
Whenever we were together
I feared an awkward pause
Would bury our love alive
And now I crave the silence
I wait for a memory to cross your mind
One you’ve never told me about
A chance to get to know you again.

I love hearing you let guilt off your chest
I want to dive
Deep into the crevices if your shame
Planting seeds of love in every nook and cranny

I hope your life is a buffet of achievements
I hope you cross the mind
Of every person who wronged you
I hope the most beautiful men
Can’t help but look into your eyes
I hope the sweat dripping out of your pores
Is filled with confidence

Love is so strange at this altitude

I hope we have the discipline
To handle our love responsibly

No, we don’t need it
Every second
Every hour
Or every day

I hope our love is a sacred home
A holy departure
From the trials and tribulations
Of everyday life
An invincible field of comfort
Which we can always fall into

Wow, love is strange at this altitude.
