Maybe if I say it enough times
Or if I crack enough smiles
I might start believing it
And stop spitting out so many lies.

(a.d)
Love is a flower open to the sun,
Hate is a cavern, a hole, craven,
Black, empty, a dank drowning,
Under light.  Love is one season,

Hate is transitory. Love is eternal,
Of vast nebulas, to outer reaches
In galaxy are nurseries with stars
Being born, light, alive with light.

Love is the lasting of conquerors,
The first line, defense, existence,
Love takes all in one communion,
Breaking the dark as the morning
Sun.  Love is conundrum, love IS.

Hate is a construct, the blotched
That bleeds where life is seeding,
Rot better to cut, spoil unneeded,
Hate will come to nothing, for life
Is love, love is all and everything.

That is a lot of words for a soul to bear
Your love was a Tsunami
You swept me away
Brought me so far from home
And into the unknown

And though the aftershocks are almost invisible
And though the waves are smaller and smaller
The water will recede, I know
And I will be left with devastation
And a new landscape I will need to reconstruct on my own
But right now
*I am still drowning
If this is what lonely looks like
I want to shed my skin
And try on a new soul
How come no one notices I am so empty?
You once asked me
Would you die for me?
At the time
Yes
Yes I would have done anything
For you
I would have walked into a hurricane
For you
I would have walked a thousand miles into the rain
To reach you
I would have crossed the ocean
For you
I would have died
For you

If you asked me now
Would you die for me?
This time
No
No, I wouldn't do a **** thing
I would let you drown
I would not take my eyes off you
I would smile as you suffocate
And I would be happy
**I wouldn't die for you.

Kevin
the first time I saw her,
everything in my head fell silent.
her eyes were reflections of galaxies
so many have gotten lost in before me.
her lips formed a smile like a flickering candle,
but a smile nonetheless.
her hair was let loose like a restless ocean.
she was breathtaking.
and it was when i felt my heart skip a beat
that i knew *i had to have her.
