How can I keep my words silent?
How can I keep my heart chained?
How can I starve my feelings
And never quench its thirst?
How can I empty my dreams
And clear my thoughts of you?
How can I turn the music down
When all I want to hear is you?
How can I forget the conversations
And the laughter you give?
How can I watch the sunset and never fall for you?
How it colors me gold with the fire I have for you
How can I let this die
When I keep living for you?

Wish upon a star
And make your dreams
Come true
But I guess that's
A lie
Even with a lifetime's wish
In my reality
You will never exist

You've got no claim
And no reason to complain
We are but lovers in the air

Early mornings
Mend the heart
And calm the mind
A sweet embrace
That warms the soul
A hope that smiles to a world unknown
And in its silence
Her love grows

Here I stand
On your shores so grand
To marvel at a beauty
So profound
Turn my tears precious
Like pearls
Roll down my cheeks
And wash away my fears

Memories
Distant
Like the horizon
Stretched out in the open sea
Where the sun rises and falls
Paint the skies
And color my eyes

Last night
You had a bottle of liquor in your hand
And you can barely stand
From all the feelings you have for him
They were pulling you to the ground
Today you wake up
But the pain still lingers
And his words taste bitter in your mouth
You hate it when you're sober
Because that's when it hits you harder
Yes, it's over
But you still have a bottle of liquor in your hand
Will you have another?

A book says,
"Read to get away."
A pen says,
"Write to be reminded."
The mind says,
"I live to reminisce."
And the heart says,
"I am always at stake."

My legs are made of jelly
I am weak and unsteady
My arms are like pink cotton candies
And I melt so easily
I have pretzel coated bones
And I am brittle and lonely
But my mind is a carnival
Carousels of many roundabouts
That spin incessantly
To a marshmallow heart
That often falls so fast and deliriously

I toss and turn
In this bed of feelings
I cannot discern
Pillow of your thoughts
Have kept me awake
And a blanket of your words
Have been playing in my head
I stare at the ceiling
A blank and empty space
Like my heart
A void that you can only fill in
I start to scribble your name
Hoping to find comfort in this game
But a lump in my throat started to sing
A grief-stricken ballad
Burning my skin
Bleeds my eyes
And I taste salt in my lips
Long have I been haunted by your absence
In between these sheets
But darling the night is long
A scarred morning I will mourn
That in her arms you belong

He had a baseball bat
In his hand
I was on the mound
I pitched in my heart
Fastball
Curveball
Change-up
****
He hit them all
Home run

Let my words find you
And let them look into your eyes
Do you see me now?
Do you feel me on your skin?
Then let my warmth linger on
Let my words touch your lips
Like a lover's passionate kiss
Let my words dance in your heart
And make your blood overflow
Let my words whisper in your ear
I Love You
Don't you know?

My pen
bleeds
A thousand
death
As he gives
meaning to my
Words

My mind is tired
Like a barren land
Nothing grows
And words don't rhyme
Except for silence who loves time
An artist I think
Has left me with nothing but an ink
Write verses to keep
And to dream in my sleep
An artist I think
Has left me with nothing but a glance
A spark of hope for another chance?
An artist I think
Has left me with nothing but a touch
An aching stroke to my weary heart
An artist I think
Has left me with nothing but a spell
Enchanting, and I have never been the same
My mind is still tired
And the artists's love is all I ever want

When darkness creeps in
And light turns into a dream
Shadow of your memories paint my bedroom walls
And tears form your image as they fall
Your silence haunts me
Screaming in my sleep
I'm awake in your absence
Wounded and shattered
Naked and lost
The once blue sky has turned gray
The flowers have withered
And the rainbow no longer in sight
The wind whispered a painful cry
A dagger stabbed to the heart
You're gone and I'm alone
In this place we used to call our own
So I'll keep the lights out
And turn your music low
I'll leave this place and burn it down
Let the fire keep me warm
As I imagine walking away from your arms
Goodbye my love
And let me bury the ashes to the ground

Dance to the silence of the stars
Dream with the clouds above the seas
Sail with your paddles of hope
Against the waves of doubt and fear
Trust like a hand that holds
Romance may venture the ocean of uncertainty
But with all your heart
Love like the fire's burning flame

You are my quiet thought
And my reality's dream
You are my written poetry
And the music in my ears
You are the moon that lits my sky
And the star that sparkles in my eyes
Your words are drenched in sunshine
Warm as the blanket on a rainy afternoon
You bring colors, bright as the summer
The air smells sweet
Like mornings in June
I am in love with your mind
And I crave for your touch
Look into my heart
A meadow of violets and green
Where leaves glow like diamonds
A thousand morning dews
Of my feelings never told
