I had a dream last night.
You were next to me
And I had to kiss you
Just because
you were too you.

You kissed me back
But then you pulled away
“Wait,”
You said,
“Wait,
I gotta tell you something.”
You went on and on about some uncle
Until you finnaly got to the point
“I love you”
and I kissed you
and you kissed me
And I pulled away
To say
“I love you too.”

And then I woke up.
My eyes flew open.
My arms reaching for you.
But you weren’t there.
No.
You never were.

What are you running away from?
Some secret buried deep?
You doubt your talent and abilities,
Dreams you don't bother to keep.

Can't face answers to questions,
You resort to the place in your mind,
Where life is always happy and good,
A fantasy you repeat and rewind.

You were not born a deceiver,
Tragedy has made you that way,
After years suffering alone,
Learned to hide demons away.

Now they follow everywhere,
Eyes dizzy from keeping track,
Bullet holes in your beauty,
In your heart, on your back.

Waking up though we don't want to,
Walls mock what you have become,
Inside prison you chose to inhabit,
What are you running away from?
Too many people go through life running from something that isn't chasing them

There is something about the way the sunlight slants through the blinds, how my blanket
feels warm after a night hugging my body.
The way my sock-enmeshed toes stretch and my
arms reach out like wings then fold back in
to the warmth of my chest.
The way my feet pad across the oak floors
and my apple tastes as it crushes between my molars,
sweet and watery and fresh,
as though the flowers of on my windowsill have turned red
and the petals filled with nectar.

You say
"that's dark, babe"
But I don't think it's dark enough
Only in the night my dreams take shape
waking up these days is getting tough

I'm conflicted
my life's been restricted
Dreams seem true
and life is twisted

And all my thoughts
are growing along rose arbours
pretty to look at and impaled by thorns
each of them dying the death of martyrs

Can you see now?
There's a terrible sadness
a kind of sorrow
Turning sanity into madness

Reality check is for the sane
Imagined a world more real
Thought it's all in vain
I spoke to the devil and made a deal

Soon all I'll do is sleep
dreaming of my life to be
still better than to weep
for what isn't meant for me
My sunshine is a picture of what I have seen so often before
In the rising dark and in the headiness of early morning,
Its corporeal fragrance and freshness of air
The heaviness of a limb, reluctant;
And Eyelids,
Sticky with the dreams of forgotten things,
Meet their partner of bone.
Face-ache a reminder of the skeleton,
A beauty beyond the skin;
My defaced leather upholstery.

The twinkling stars
Are now oppressed
By the rays of light
That reach the dark
An Arizona sunrise
Is what it is called
And I find that it is
Easy forgive
This sunrise
for waking me

Up
I begin to stir
Fragrant scents of memories
Wake to see sunlight
Starting the day with a haiku!

My mind is flint
My tongue the tinder
A spark that is
Just let me die

These were the passing thoughts of mine
Sometimes I wake up just to write.

Here you are in my bedroom
Heavily sleeping after a crazy day at work
As I slowly tucked myself in bed beside you
I’m a fan of how you sleep
how such a little angel can be so beautiful
those closed eyes are enough for me to smile
those rosy cheeks that I always ****** a kiss
your lips that I always miss kissing
I always soft pinch your nose and giggle
I laughed every time I caught you waking up
cause you slowly shy yourself away
I always think.. 'ahhww that’s cute'

Here you are in my bedroom
How I wish you’ll stay here forever
you always give me those warmest hugs
those softest kiss

I wanna wake up
beside you
in the nights
when my nightmares come true

I wanna kiss you
whenever I miss you
in the daylight
when I'm alone, just alone

I wanna hold you
and never let you go away
in my dreams
let me sleep again

Here I am sleeping beside you
Inside this dream where I can hold you
without traveling miles just to see you
Inside this dream where I can
feel the warmth of your skin
hear the sound of your breathing
touch the fine lines of your body
I never knew love would be like this
No one taught me that love can feel like this
How can one can explain the burst of emotions
It’s like seeing a plane for the first time
It’s like hearing your mother’s voice for the first time
it’s like a dog waiting for it’s owner to come home
No one taught me how to love
How can one explain something you don’t know
it’s like a caterpillar ,growing into something unknown; a butterfly
It’s like flying but still those feet always touch the ground
I swear I can create a song out of this
we’ll write the lyrics in our bodies
and let our soul be the instrument
and we’ll dance each word that we wrote
I’ll show you what I can do,
We’ll show the world what love can do
I know that I’m still sleeping
and still you’re sleeping beside me
this memory will always be with me.

Here I am ,

I wanna wake up
beside you
in the nights
when my nightmares come true

I wanna kiss you
whenever I miss you
in the daylight
when I'm alone, just alone

I wanna hold you
and never let you goooo away
in my dreams
let me sleep again

Let me sleep until I dream of you again
and I never wanna wake up knowing you're not here

If you put an open book on your face and breathe in the softness of the pages,
And your cheeks feel the heaviness of the words pressed against them:
You will absorb all the knowledge inside of the book
And the story will sink into your skin, like warmth after a long day in the sun.

If your pyjamas smell like the sun,
They have disappeared into the back of your wardrobe
And gone back home when you were asleep
Returning when the sun peeks in through the lines in your walls.

If it is late in the morning
Then the morning loves you and your sleepy face
and the quietness of your thoughts as you wake.
