#starcrossedlovers
why do we blink?
no, no- put the scientific reason aside and think outside of the box.
imagine this.
our top and bottom eyelashes are star crossed lovers.
so close,
yet so far.
unable to touch unless the world goes completely dark
and yet yearning for the soft flutter of the moment you blink.
right?
they defied fate to be together, even if it was just for a split second.
giving us humans the honor to un-cross the stars of these
silly
stupid
lovers.

O golden blaze, thou sovereign of the day,
Whose light doth stir the heavens' vast delight,
I dwell afar where shadows love to stay,
Yet yearn to bathe within thy burning light.
Thy warmth I feel not, only glimpsed afar,
A dream that dances 'cross the void of years.
Though I, a lonely and forgotten star,
Shine still with love and silent, distant tears.
Thou canst not know the longing in my flame,
Nor hear the whispers in my solar song.
For time and space do mock love’s gentle name,
And deem a bond like ours a dream too long.
Yet still I burn, though fate keeps us apart
A distant fire with thee etched in its heart.

Sleep and wakefulness blur
Listeless longings begin to stir
Hearts twist into dire messes
right or wrong? anyone's guesses
Sickening ache pulls my chest cavity in again
No breath, no relief from this sin and pain
Cant be me
Can't have you,
Can't be free
Can't be you
Kisses and soul hugs on the winds
Casting flesh aside he wins
Only the ****** live free of this shadow
To live this life till the next is hallow
Ill bide my time in this makeshift hell
For a love that only the best story tellers tell
The one that goes on forever
Some can part but no thing can sever
Ours is of the endless stars
Countless opportunites to prove our hearts.
A love never cold
Never old -
Forever young.

you said you loved reading poetry
how every words heal your soul
how every lines ease your existence
right there and then, i fell in love with you
we started diving through pages
and singing through words
we became one with poetry
this love feels so pure and true
but in the end you broke my heart
now the poetry is you

Alone in the darkness, I carefully tread
Gazing at the leafy roof blossoming
Pearly flickering snowdrops overhead
A lone orchestra that she is forming
Hushed. I stand motionless, tranquil, silent
Glittering petals floating all around
Hear the eloquent song; dusky, violent
Twirling whilst dances to the velvet sound
In the midst of our homely wilderness
Reaching out to this enchanting spirit
I watch her, Illuminating blackness
My tortured soul I again revisit
Chasing is useless. I don't have her heart
We are seamed together and ripped apart.

A thousand way to love
A thousand people to fall in love with
I chose the one that was most unlikely
i chose the one that, i knew in the end, will destroy me
A thousand pretty girls
A thousand you could have easily had
but it was me who chose you
and it was me who loved you back
A thousand roads
A thousand options
not a single one
that will lead me to you
A thousand pain
A thousand reasons to give up
Love has limits
heart know nothing of
A thousand tears
A thousanf relieves
I have got them all
but without you, I have nothing
**A thousand star-crossed-lovers writing
a thousand poems in this moment
One of them is me,
my muse being you, always**

Matter cannot be created or destroyed
Is love the same
Has it always existed
In one form or the other
If so
My love and I
Well
We have loved forever (we just hadn't found each other)
And forever is a circle
Which means we never began and we will never stop

You always know what to say.
I was so lost, in the streets of the abandoned.
And then one day, you came my way,
You sat down beside me, took my hand and
said, "What I would give for another day."
I was left with a choice,
My heart no longer hell bound,
Feeing stuck.
I remember the day my heart drowned.
"It's okay," softly spoke Zach.
"I love you to the moon and back."
When I had said that, his eyes brightened.
He leaned in and kissed me, my throat tightened.
"You are unlike any other girl I've ever met. It's true."
I looked at him, why?
"Why? Just because you are you."
I felt like I could fly.
Tears slid in my eyes,
If I spoke, I would cry.
I felt so at peace.
This love we shared,
should never cease.
"I support you through every rough decision you have to make."
A smile grew on his face.
"And my heart is yours, in which only you can take."
Which ended with a hug, well embraced.

I was never one to stay and you were always one to leave.
We were from opposite corners of the same puzzle,
But how I wish we could have clicked together.
& maybe in some sense we both already did.
We were both wanderers-
Seekers of the great unknown.
Walking the paths of others before us
Just to find a place to call home.
& I suppose I should be happy-
No, thankful-
In having our paths crossed.
But it's quite a shame they weren't intertwined.
I would have liked that very much.

I find it hilarious
How we know each other so well.
We're like two halves of a whole.
Synced onto the same wave length.
But it's not going to be so funny when
One day
Maybe some time soon
That our connection will (have to) be
cut.

You make me want to give you the world,
But the world is what is stopping us.
You make me want to do a dance,
But I don't dance.
You make me want to get out of town,
But leaving you would hurt so bad.
You make me want to believe in "forever,"
But I don't have faith in that anymore.
You make me want to be happy
But a smile can hide so much.
You make me the luckiest girl in the world,
But I know that it can't be me.

It's not that I can't do it.
It's more of a "I-don't-want-to" type of situation.
I don't want to commit
Or make promises that I know I can't keep.
That just wouldn't be fair,
& I wouldn't dare hurt you again.
I'm much too scared to take that chance.
But believe me,
I wish I could-
I want to more than anything.
If I had the opportunity,
I would tell you everything
And show you all that I've had to hide.
All the closed doors
Sealed up windows
Would be yours to open up.
I would hold your hand
Proud and tight
Because I'd want the world to see that I'm yours.
There would be no secrets
No more blurred lines.
Just you and me
Like you've always wanted.
But I know that as much as I want for this to happen,
I won't let it.

it feels more bitter than sweet
when i close my eyes and remember
those autumn months.
we became like the leaves,
falling down as the wind shook us.
and oh, how we fell.
we fell in love
while falling apart.

She was more pure of heart than she let on.
More beautiful than she believed.
The sun itself would be envious
of the light in her eyes.
She was a lady of many hats,
all of which she wore elegantly.
But there was an emptiness within her
that's gravitational pull was so intense,
not even the heaviest of hearts were safe.
She, with the smirk of a fox.
She speaks my thoughts out loud,
she faces my worst fears,
she wanders like I do...
"Run away with me", her eyes scream.
Her mouth whispers "If only".
Simultaneously giving and taking hope.
It was a tear in the universe,
a glitch in time, a crack in faith.
This was not supposed to be.
Not now.
For her the wedding bells toll.
For I the silence of singularity.
I watched her eyes start to shimmer,
and flood with confirmation.
She caught herself, and smiled.
"We will meet again...someday." She shouted,
as she disappeared into the crowd.
It was time for the father, bride dance.
As she walked away...I thought,
"I am quite possibly watching part of my soul walk away."

I am not yours
Nor can I ever be.
I am bound to this world
This earth
This terrain
While you-
You are walking across the universe
On steps that I will never graze upon.
I envy the faces you pass-
People who don't even know your name
Yet are privileged to be in your presence
While I am here, clinging to the mere indentation of you on my bed.
I don't understand the logic behind this.
I know you.
I have seen you wake up in the early morning,
A sketch of hazy eyes and soft edges.
I have seen you thrash in the middle of the night,
Delirious and fevered from the demons in your head.
I've held your calloused hands
And mapped out your scars
To the constellations of the dark dark sky.
I knew all of that
And yet
I still could not be yours.
