I find more comfort in strangers
than my family
I only have 5 minutes
To spare this poetry
Here it goes:

5.
I do not wish to be seen
Said the old man in me
So leave me alone
Cause I don't want to be

4.
For I've been running away
This is what I hate
And I envy everyone else
Who are not in the same fate.

3.
What have I become?
Where will I go?
The questions are left unanswered
And I've searched high and low.

2.
To be strong once more
In my world full of doubt
To be strong while I lose
In my latest bout.

1.
I wish I had more time
Just like before
I only have 5 minutes
And I wish I had more.

Thats the thing about poetry,
you think im talking about a
broken heart,
when really,
Im talking about a broken
world.
Words can hide things

My poetry’s dark,
Though the release from writing
Can lighten my soul.
The moon is rising
Full and bright
Hanging,huge
She sheds her light

Climbing,slowly
O'er the hill
Lazy,creeping
The night's so still

Spangled starlight
Welcomes her
As she takes her place
And begins to stir

Hearts in love

Hearts in love
Who look at her

And she smiles her smile
That only lovers know.
Lovers   moonlight

How beautiful you are, my love
Perfect and elegant within your limits
How far did we come far from being us,
I came down among the almond trees,
To see beauty flourish upon my lover's smile,
From the crowd of women that had six to eight
But I only love one,
She is lovely as a dove
Beautiful and bright,
As the dazzling sun and moon
A little purity is all I ask for
To taste the fruits of love,
That shine through those brown eyes
Cute as hell coz it's what you are
A beauty outspoken for.
Time is only a factor once you embark along the journey of love. The last two months have been worth living coz I met a girl that understands me.

I dreamt of you
Not because I didn't think of you
But because I wanted to see you again

I dreamt of you
Not because I was told to
But because of this lonely feeling
That held me captive without you

I dreamt of you
Not because of your beauty
But because of your gentle touch

I dreamt of you
Not because I was told so
But because I wanted to see you stand next to me
