calm is the ocean
an ocean so fierce
an ocean of memories
a sea of flame
a world
a mind
a sound
all one
all the same
all the difference
a thought
the shape of a memory
change
gravity
time
distance
all words
all meaning
always changing
the sea of a mind

you are a work of art to me.
masterpiece soul.
watercolor tears.
bone structure a meticulously crafted sculpture.
brush stroke hair imperfectly contrived.
calligraphy dripping inked words.
musical melodious voice.
filmography flashes within your eyes.
i wish i could frame you as i see you…
displaying the beauty that that i see…
for you and all to see...

If I be your teardrop
I'll never fall
for the fear of losing you.

i love you,
and to prove it,
i need to end myself?
it's not  that I'm scared,
but i would die,
not knowing,
if you smiled,
when you knew,
i loved you more than myself

i betray myself every night,
when i sneak off
and see you in my dreams.

On park benches next to the elderly wise
In the library where the University lies
At seminars hosted outside for free
Or lecture halls with Professors facing me
In all these lands
My mind expands
For,
I lean in to learn where wisdom won it's wreath
And come away with a sword that knows no sheath
