i am made of sin,
you're the only innocent
god i believe in.

Our best night was the night my phone broke.
We had to message each other on Facebook
so we looked through each other's old pictures
and bragged about our relationship status to our friends.
That was the night I called you from the home phone
and I laughed when you told me you once ate human flesh
and I laughed harder when you said
you're supposed to be scared.
That was the night I sent you a poem I found online
and you replied with the most honest profession of love
I have ever heard without using the word love.
That was the night we stayed awake until 5am
even though you had to get up at 6.
I could've sworn I loved you.
I could've sworn you loved me, too.
The flashbacks are breaking my heart.

As water is to cleansing rain
and heat as to burning flame,
so are you to me; the same.
My fiery rain.

Fill the gutter of my mind.
Fire the coal your heart has mined.
Burn me to the end of time.
Your fire does reign.

Do you know what I was, how I lived?  You know
what despair is; then
winter should have meaning for you.

I did not expect to survive,
earth suppressing me. I didn't expect
to waken again, to feel
in damp earth my body
able to respond again, remembering
after so long how to open again
in the cold light
of earliest spring--

afraid, yes, but among you again
crying yes risk joy

in the raw wind of the new world.
See, I love him so much
That I can’t write about him,
And this is the closest I’ve ever come
To a love poem in the past year:
We make the cosmos jealous of our light,
And the most beautiful thing I can write down is his name.
She was astonishing, yet crazy.
She would love you till death but hurt you like hell,
If you understood her sense you’d be intrigued by her words.
-And if you pursued her knowledge you’d fall in love.
She only needed respect, and nourishing.
She was able to heal and be mended by the simplicity of happiness and the little things that made her shine .
She enjoyed lavender baths, which included an inspiring novel.
She adored love stories and hopes to write hers someday.
She lived for flowers and knowledge.
She controlled her sadness in order to strive for her glory,
Always keeps you curious about her story.
Cause she’s intertwined between living and chaos,
She's becoming a Queen that’s wise.
the problem with
being a poet in love,
is that you savour
& trust each word your lover has
without  question.

we are simply in love
with bare literature,
spoken from the lips of someone we hold
in higher regard
than ourselves sometimes.

when you love a poet
each word you utter,
should be a piece of artwork

each sentence,
a highly thought out structure of awe and beauty to leave us seeping
in the warmth of your voice
caressing such fine words

so when deciding that you love someone,
who writes or reads
fill their souls with beauty, memories & truth especially,
for a poet's heart breaks at ease.
thoughts.
Curiosity killed the cat
And it was the ninth life, at that.

i'm original
in my style of plagiarism
a brand-new bottle
...alternate take...

Same Old Whine

unoriginal
plagiarizing life itself
a brand-new battle
To love the dream
More than the man
Isn't love
