With a sky so bright
My eyes should be brighter
With a world so wide
My heart should feel wider
With a life so light
My heart should be lighter
When you have no good reason for feeling down
Elioinai Nov 2014
To ask you to love me in verse,
Is what I long to do,
But I remain terrified,
Of us
I torture myself with the thought of loving foolishly
A relationship's ultimate prospect
is a part of a greater whole.

A single's life, however,
yields the promise of individual freedom.

I have absolutely no reason to like you. Except everything you do fascinates me.*
Like how whenever you make fun of me or call me a stupid name, you smile at me.
******* it’s so cute how you call me a name and then look away and look back at me and smile, because you know I can’t stay mad.
Even though you completely destroy my self confidence, I just can’t seem to get enough of it.
I don’t mean to take a really long time to text you back, but you make me nervous.
So if you wonder why it takes me 20 minutes to reply, it’s because I don’t want to say the wrong thing to you.
I get nervous to spend time alone with you because you make me so nervous, so nervous that I typed nervous four times in this one sentence.
How it drives me crazy when you don’t text me back, because all I want to do is talk to you.
How you don’t care what you look like, how you don’t try at all, but you still look so good to me.
How every time you compliment me my stomach drops.
Even though its only a drill, because we made a deal that if you’re mean to me that you have to say something nice.
We’re nothing more than friends, but when I’m with you there’s no place I’d rather be.
And I hate how I don’t know how you feel about me, and I can’t help myself but keep chasing you.

You are one of them...
the main one... but,
one of them just the same
so, don't trip...
and don't ask... and I won't
just do what You came to do and go
no time to Love
no want for Love
at least that is
what Your mouth says...
so,  I now treat You as You treat Me
I Love You
at least that is
what My mouth says

hey... it is what it is sometimes

I kissed someone in the night,
Then woke to moan my plight,
No one to sing my song with me,
But contentment soon the object of my sight,
The Maker is my might,
Who better to sing in harmony?
Than the one who gave to me?
The melody of soul.
He sweeps the stars in dulcet patterns,
And creams the clouds for frosting,
He bends the eyelash and reddens lips,
Adds all the sweetness to make our hearts dip,
Forward and fall in love with his own stamp of beauty.
The Stamper is the most beautiful;
No crafted canyon, or molded man can compare to the Maker of it all,
For he only takes what is his and gives it out like candy,
To the mouths of all his children, unaware of his hand.
I want to be aware, to see indescribable things,
To watch with inner eyes what few else have seen,
To hear a song of a different dimension,
Lovely amidst dissension, and run towards that which can,
Really, give me what I want,
Give me what I need.

He was not one of wealth and fame
And no one even knew his name.
He was just known as dad, the only father they ever had.
He worked long hours for very little pay
Yet their clothes were clean every day.
He never lost hope, yet he learned to cope.
He worked at night so he could stay with his children during the day.
He would give them breakfast then take them to school
So that they could learn the golden rules.
His routine was always the same- it would hardly ever change.
Clean the house, take a nap, and for the children prepare a snack.
Then start to prepare for dinner, which wasn’t always a winner.
Yet they ate healthy and never went without
Of that there is no doubt.
In the afternoon pick up the kids and bring them home
During the day they were never alone.
They would change their clothes then have a snack
While he took another nap.
They did their homework when he slept
In the softness of his bed.
He would then wake up and dinner he would serve
And not a complaint was ever heard
They would say grace and he would ask:” how was your day?”
Wash the dishes and put them away.
They could watch TV. until it was nine
Take their showers and then bedtime.
This was the life of a single DAD
, and it was the best part of his life he ever had.
