Soft whispers escape your lips , the lips of the man who said he’d tore out his heart and wrap it in my arms.
Words strangling the deepest breaths hidden within me, please stop making me vulnerable. But your lips cascaded with gentleness mixed with intoxication , I’ve never felt so alive in my being.
Memories like those make me not want nostalgia
The eyes I stare into fill me with emptiness ,
No one can fill my ocean

Memories resemble tangible things in this way
Some waste away and become worthless with age waiting to be discarded
Others increase their value with every recollection
Like an antique, loved and cherished waiting to be passed on

how lucky are we,
to be living in an earth
with a shadow so big
it could cover a blue moon
in a night sky so dark and wide,
that despite being hundreds of miles away from our families,
we still get to watch the same phenomenal sight that they too could see?

have you ever wondered
why   am   i   always
f  a  s  c  i  n  a  t  e  d
with the phenomena
of     a    red and rare
l u n a r   e c l i p s e?

with every time we meet,
i turn red;
but with every time we part,
i don't turn blue.

rare doesn't mean
"once in a lifetime."
it only means that
you'll always return,
no matter how long it takes.

and i believe that
someday
for sure
again:
*i'll see you.
aren't we all fascinated with the things, events, and people which come rare?
it makes us cherish them well.

Hidden affections
Forgotten thoughts
Lost feelings
Fake love
i was used again... she used me...
who knew your words
could hurt me that much
worse than when
I scraped my knee
that night I was drunk
trying to forget about
those words you said
Gorgeous is the woman
with storms in her eyes,
a bruised soul
and many scars
but still dares to open up,
to trust with her heart
and fall in love
that is a woman
who bleeds stardust
and cries
tears of pure love….
This is dedicated to a really sweet person that I know, who has no idea how strong she actually is.
Sweetie, you shine, keep shining!!
Here comes the bandwagon
Shiny and new
Every one on it
Is waving at you
The squirrel sits at my doorstep,
Begging for my food,
Not afraid of me,
But I’m afraid of it.

How can a tiny creature,
Something this small,
Make me scared for my life,
As it stares into my soul.

Even as I try to close the door,
It won't let me step away,
Even if I want to go,
It won't let me step away.

Stop.
I don’t want to do this.
Help.
I can’t stop.
Please.
Someone close the door.
As the person who wrote this, it's easy to understand it from my point of view...
