there was a time
when we walked around
in the spring

when you picked flowers
to put in my basket
while i wanted to fill yours

just like that our love grew
too much,
that baskets couldn't hold em'

i thought that was a good sign about love
but who knew
unlike the birds who fly freely

those flowers will lose petals
instead of going with the flow of wind
they fall down on the ground

reminding us of autumn
every spring lover has to face it
but we couldn't

i wish now
what it would have been like
if we knew

being a spring lover is not easy
we have to go through every autumn
after every spring

a cycle that love will repeat

I tell myself I don’t like you anymore
and I tell you the same
but that’s a lie even I can’t hide or ignore…
my eyes are to blame.

The eyes never lie
and I know you see them too,
the way that they dilate
when I’m just looking at you.

I need to learn to look away,
I don’t want you to know
that even after everything
my feelings still seem to show

It’s killing me inside
knowing this will never be
So I’ll tell myself I don’t like you
And maybe
it’ll set me free

Part of me says stay small, part go big
Part says eat your fill, part don’t pig

Kenko says: long life brings many shames
I say the gray sky brings winter, no blame

The impassable mountains we revere
Moderate the force of wind and water

Get the cement truck into the refrigerator
We shall honor all of life sooner or later

Anything can happen if you don’t resist
To get lucky you gotta be careful first

You discover dying’s much like living
Who should I thank for the pity of things?

O to have the smile of a lover
Who wouldn’t rather be elsewhere!

Often, I dream of you, he said, the taste of your breathe is my favorite.

Now, stop talking and kiss me.

Whatever trial and tribulation would breathe upon my neck,
However difficult the path ahead may be,
Whichever hurdles attempt to arrest me,
Howsoever the riddles of life befuddle me,

All these challenges,
All the laws of men,
Will never cease away the moments of happiness you have given me,
Will never dull the figments of blissful memories you have created with me,

Forever within me shall they remain,
Till the tides, and the winds, favour me no longer.

Strum out to me,
Oh music man,
That sweet mandolin tune,
Tell me the secrets of this world,
I'll keep it just between you and me.

I'll take my snippets of unfinished poetry,
And you take your unfinished book,
We'll mash them together into a chunk of clay,
And what results I think will do.

Let me take you in my arms,
And swing about the room,
To some merry little jig,
Only heard between us three.

Let's laugh to loud like *******,
And banter like buffoons,
Rant and rave like jabbering macaws,
And croon until we're blue.

Take care of me when I drink too heavy,
And nod along to my song,
Even though my guitar may be out of tune,
Carry my traumas when they become too crushing,
And say you love me too.

While you were away
I felt misguided and could barely sleep
Wish that you would stay
I fought my demons while you counted sheep
Just tell me what to say
I'd swim in dark oceans to see you here
Made from my very own tears

I heard the news that you found him last week
And while you 2 met up, I got so meek
I punch the walls in my own mental scape
He saved your heart while I struggled to escape
Please pick up the phone
I guess all heroes don't have to wear capes
Back when I was one to you

I hear you as it plays on repeat
emotions grill me as I feel the heat
I fight the air, yet end up in defeat
So you won't answer that phone?

I swear in my texts as my tears type the words
You think I hate you when I'm this absurd
I still see you as such a shining star
Can't find another as you raised the bar

I send the last text saying "I miss you"
I lose confidence "and I'm sorry too"
"I hope you know that our love was true"
And I would give the world just to meet you
Something I wrote a good while back and never had it in me to post, I feel now is a good time

"I dreamt that the river was burning"
"I dreamt that the snow was on fire"
"And"
"In dreaming impossible dreams"
"I dreamt that you were my lover"

but...
the river dried up,
the snow had melted,
my eyes opened,
and...

I can't remember
