I don't want to learn to love you I just want it to be true You and me versus the universe Nothing separating us two I don't want to learn to love you I just want to feel it there Butterflies in my belly Your hands tangled in my hair I don't want to learn to love you It should just be a fact Whatever obstacles are around us Doesn't matter, they say opposites attract

Effortless
Our chariot soared through the tunnel And from out of the dark, light. The sight of the city erupting With fires' glare burning bright, Venom like a snake's bite. Vast buildings careening down, As we maneuvered around them The air was thick with smoke And the smell of lead & sulfur, The ground shook in violence. We landed in a clearing, The end was close at hand The limits to see it, subjective; For many laid dead in our stead, Many enemies & siblings come to head, And long did we have to tread before rest. I unfurled the flag And hoisted it up overhead, Flying high on the mast. I said my prayers And made my peace, Before the rain began. All around me was storming, Shutters battered marble Amid crys for no quarter- Blood was to be our recompense

That's It For The Other One!
Fight the fight, and Rage into the silent night. Bid goodbye only to Hubris. Trust in instinct, Trust in insight. What you know and can prove, Not what you hope inside. Love, guard, and take the word of Those who are allies; Act only in turn, when you are more wise. Barter acting in plain sight with guise; It is not the sacrifice of advantage, Nor the trade of surprise. Keep to your bonds, keep to promise; Protect the people, protect the country. Protect the planet; nature, everything. Uplift virtue, promote democracy, Prioritize education, ensure & expand rights Love your neighbor like a brother, Cherish your community; Across collective nations, We can have paradise

Constrictor
I have no fear of anyone who opposes me, Shall I live? Forever, I am ****** to die, regardless Of the life I lead. So, To nihilism and cynicism; should I cling? Or fight for my ideals and beliefs? What is it, to fight? To be violent, to the pacifist; To resist violence, with pacifism. I fear no man that would oppress me, Shall you live? Never, would I Bend the knee before being Brought to kneel. Rightly, You can **** me But what I die for lives on; Drown in the wake Of those that love, Those that bleed What peace allows; Time to think, of What freedom means

I was used to the abuse, used to the towers I was used to being used, used to your power it makes me sad looking back, I was in the present accepting presents while you were hiding in the black, keeping secrets, turning your back on me and everything I offered, I thought you were better than you were guess it's my first mistake to think you wouldn’t put me up at the stake watch my ivory skin be engulfed in flames watch your baby burn away if it means that you can survive by the skin of your teeth tried to run and run with my tired feet tried to undo all you have done to me tried to keep the door open in case you came running back to me I like broken birds, I like empty words I like chess pieces, I like idealistic worlds you fit my trauma like a glove, manipulation to get my love but you had another, arguably better older, more secure, not a country over but in turn, you made me feel insecure a tragic mess continuing to dismantle unravel like ribbons, uncovered the truth due to visions I received, the seeds I reaped protection is given to me by deities I am not one for fighting but refuse to wave the white flag you shot me and now I must burn down your creations in a red flash every web of lies, web of secrets I set ablaze and sit back like the grim reaper

Hindsight
kiss my Adam's apple then make your way to my pearled necklace Adorn me with your love like a prince in a castle Be rough with me, a little reckless time is only a concept forged by men who says we ever have to leave this bed again I am shaken, riddled with desires I am taken, aback by your torrid fires blistering heat, unimaginable peak you are so sweet like freshly picked strawberries it's your physique and mystique you read me like libraries

Strawberries
Why is it so hard to love you? It’s not that I don’t want to, Or even that you don’t deserve it. I just get stuck between the unknown and the desired. You could be the greatest, the sweetest, But you aren’t the song I’ve gotten used to singing.

His eyes are getting old
Ideally you're the person I want Who can ideally make me perfect Who can ideally bring the bliss of my youth Who can ideally be my world. But I forgot a very important fact And that is to be realistic There's no such thing as ideal person We can never force someone to change For us to be perfect For us to taste the bliss of our youth And to be in our ideal world Because this is the reality We just need to make the best out of it And be content with what the person gave to us.

Idealistic relationship
I am craving a love poem. I want to accentuate your smile and the laughing lines that form at the sound of a cheesy joke. I want to illustrate the traces your hands leave on me. I want deep conversations and I want pointless banter that will keep us laughing until the sun lays it's golden rays onto your silhouette. I want to record the sound of your oh-so-sweet voice in the dark. I want your eyes locked onto mine in a big room of strangers and I want our next adventure marked on a calendar. There are many things that I want, but it isn't this fictional character I have created. I just want you.

Want
20:00 - Dinner Alone but entertained I like it that way 21:00 - Skype calls Not having talked for four days I've missed her yet the occasional silence is nice 22:00 - Fillers Scrolling through pictures and sharing thoughts A pleasant and calm feeling 23:00 - Rethinking The first hypothetical theories about the day Laughing at the slip-ups to push them away 00:00 - Reflecting Doubting choices throughout the week Faking a small smile 01:00 - Endurance A familiar feeling spreads Downcast eyes and a facade of peace 02:00 - Creative New ideas and thoughts fill up the space Pick and choosing which ones would hurt the most now 03:00 - Idealistic Reading stories about happiness, pain and change Wondering what will become of me 04:00 - Closure Horrible thoughts tearing down the last walls Curling up and crying again 05:00 - End Following a familiar routine before sleep comes Cradling the broken mind

Repeat
Good grades will buy my ticket to the New Town where there's sun and golden sand. Good grades will save me from the homework I am drowning in. One day I'll count my change to buy a banjo like my runaway uncle owned. Each strum will create my Freedom Song. Toes in seawater, Strings beneath my fingertips; I'll have found my escape. While the tide goes out it will carry my worries in its waves.

Good grades
The summation of incredible moments of unsubstantiated ecstasy we both once shared Are only to be realized on the aftermath Of cold, solid reality that it is ceased on the resounding note of tragedy Wells of tears unseen, piles of letters unsent, composition of melodies unfinished, Unspoken desires to be fathomed silently on the backs of a lonely romantic, idealistic mind Who dances solemnly on these fragile footsteps of a love, That is forever lost, non-refundable, and unattainable.

Plight of a Helpless Romantic
I want to put my hands in my pockets, like I always do And find notes from him saying "I love you." I want sitting on a park bench Knowing that the vast silences between us Mean more than empty words I want walking on the beach wrapped in one blanket And holding hands on strange busy streets I want intellectual conversations at midnight And long love letters when we are apart I want sitting at a table and knowing love still leaks From the corners of my lips I heard you when you said "Well honey, that's a lot to ask for." But I want an ocean to drown in Puddles won't do anymore

What do you want?
Will you think its weird that im in a graveyard Find it strange i barely stayed for School and missed opportunities The worst thing is there's nothing new to me Third eye visible ghosts bugging Now sleeping in my barely living room Clocks slowly start to running **** the things he thinks are funny I should start hurling soon Believe me i will bump into you   In the company of tombs Where a wren sat before flight

Lonely guts in a graveyard
Love, I've fallen in The idea, the thought of it. Nothing more than that.
