You are beautiful
I see it in the way your crooked teeth show when you smile big enough to make me choke
I feel it in the soft cracks in your voice when you are nervous

You are beautiful
In the way that your body shakes with all the energy bursting through your fingertips like life isn’t always moving at your pace
In the way that your brows furrow when you are focused

You are beautiful
Like the golden red and orange sunset reflecting on the ocean and big puffy clouds tinted pink
Like handpicked bouquets you gave to your mother when you were 7

I love the way your toes curl and your hands shake when you’re anxious
I love brushing my fingers across the soft expanse of your skin, every freckle and scar, the stretch marks that grew with every inch that you did

You are beautiful
I am so lucky to live a life with you in it

Lights shining bright
Through the busy night
I met you
When I was feeling blue

Words bubble up
Like a soda pop
Whenever I'm with you
I feel so new

There's something about you
That draws such an alluring hue
It makes my heart thump fast
And make my whole world vast

Hey, you
I have something to tell you
It is a piece of my emotion
Sent to you with great passion

Hey, Sunshine
Why do you look so fine?
I keep wondering why
As I get lost staring at the blue, blue sky

Hey, Sunshine
I like how dazzling you are
Like those cute smile of yours
That erases all my problems and worries

Hey, Sunshine
I like the way you shine brightly
Like those sparkling eyes of yours
As you look at me with a radiant smile

Hey, Sunshine
Keep smiling brilliantly
Like an ethereal flower in full bloom
Captivating me again as always

Hey, Sunshine
I like those cute smile of yours
The same way you make me feel happy
It makes my heart flutter

Hey, Sunshine
Will you be mine?
I really like you
How about you?

Be a green leaf that celebrates life with every new dawn, absorbing a full cup of energy with every sunrise.
Awaken humanity to the call of love!

found you at your worst
lift you on your worst state of all

under the moonlight, hands are tied
your eyes are sparkling like the stars
and your smile illuminates the darkness where i am placed

i look at you one,
i look at you twice,
you are there wearing that smile
i look at you thrice,
the smile you used to wear is gone
i look at you for the fourth,
you’re no longer on my side
i closed my eyes and breathed in,
there i saw you on the other side of the road

A Thought:
                 Maybe there is no grand crescendo to the human symphony
Maybe life ends, and begins, on a prolonged refrain
A steady, repeating, fading rhythm
The only flourish of a lonely universe
Trying desperately, in its way, to find a dance partner for the darkness
Eternity; our veiled mistress waiting past the mist
For the light to outrun an endlessly unfurling landscape of black
The space between
The mimicry of a photograph, and the true shape of the memory
That a frame can never quite squeeze
Those lost edges lie in wait
Just beyond a waking moment, and the closing scene of our final dream
A place not lost, but yet to be found
That is all,
For now.

There's still a part of you that lingers in me; a myth I haunt  and the ghost of every story I make.  

The traces of my brokenness
are the lure of lullabies
As I am chasing shadows on the crowd
they're coming after you under the moonlight.

What was the best thing for being a sunshine if you are a star that night can only have?

On the morning run
when I saw the morning sun

I asked the sun will you take
my love to my baby in Denver?
Sun said Yes of course my dear
I will today, tomorrow and forever!

I asked the sun will you shine
your warmth on me and her?
Sun said Yes of course my dear,
With every ray warmth & love will stir!

Magenta and Reds, Cerulean and Blues
Piano paint splashes the mind of the fool
And makes him create, mostly mistakes
When trying to illustrate his own point of view

Hopeless and Danceless, Broken Old Romantic
Wooden chair rocks him like a cradle for his ashes
And time doesn’t wait, for him only it fades
Stuck on the wake of waves perpetually crashing

Black Holes and Stars, Landmarks for Gods
He just sits and he orbits like a moon for his heart
Passing the days, a face for a frame
Symphony of flowers contrasting his rain

Alone on the threshold of liminal space;
I come across all my broken parts.
Floating and thought misplaced;
They gravitate as I pass, and circle back to me.
All these years lost in a sorrowed haze;
I had forgotten the creases that create my happy face.
The careful weathered etchings,
Of the years where pleasure always bested pain.
My eyes see clearer now, but how much of me remains?
If enough to scrawl, these reflective letters
Then enough to walk, out through the hallowed halls
That entomb all the past attempts to rid the dangling darkness
From above my waking world.
Enough to run; towards somewhere, and not away from
