Nicole

The scary thing is
You could be enough for me
The intensity of these feelings
And our insane connection
Might be enough alone
But I'm afraid to give you all of me

The way things were at the beginning was enough for me to be monogamous. I'm happy I never told you that because things changed and my needs were no longer met. But I wrote this in January.

Eye to Eye

Eye to Eye

She looks into my eyes
as if searching for my feelings
for a hint of my disposition today
can’t she tell by the softness of my voice
the sweet things I say
can’t she sense my love
in these moments together
or
are we both really alone
and this union a figment?

It is as if she is wondering
in her little mind behind her amber eyes
what it is like being human
as I wonder what is like being feline.

Broken Promises

Broken Promises

I have bruises on my lips
From biting so hard
Fighting against my tears
A war against my quivering mouth
No dig in my palm
Could be so deep
To distract me from the pain
Of your broken promises
I’m picking at the seams
Of my cuticles until I bleed
Rolling tears until I sleep
Shaking until I’m at peace

waves

waves

The sea is still today
It's cerulean blue and gold
I think of the thoughts it carries
Within its hidden folds.
Its touch is soft and gentle
It soothes the ache of years
But I wonder how many waves
Are made from fallen tears.

Holiday

Every day I spent with you
Was like a holiday this is true
You made me so happy with just your smiles
To hold you tight I would walk a million miles
I love you so much but we had to part
We will not be together but you will always be in my heart
You were the only one I ever did really love
I know you were sent by the lord above
You taught me lesson that I will never forget
It was your love I am without and it's my biggest regret
There is just one thing I must say
My love for you in my heart it will stay

#A million and one tears I will cry

knock knock
there is someone who want to come in
but the fact is
i don't want it
because the guest is not you

i still want you. but you don't

tell him,
that i missed him so bad
i missed when we
could wasted time together.
you know what the sad is?
there is no more "we"
just,
you and i.

every time i see the clouds, the moon, the stars and the sky i think about you.

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

Why Poetry

When people ask me
Why poetry
Why not pick a paying profession

Take hold this truth
That I'm laying on you
In which there is a valuable lesson

If you do what you like
You're going to find
Life holds treasure in wonder

Instead of the dough
Taking you out in its tow
And then pulling you under

When you're doing things
Think more the gifts they bring
And not money to be made

When people ask me
Why poetry
Do I really need to say
