Never wrong
I thought I was never wrong
And better off just wanting less
But, I knew all of me
Wanted more

When I was twenty
I wrote Love
When I was twenty-four
I wrote Love and War In Your Twenties
Now I’m twenty-five
Love is truth and truth is poetry
And I learned most people hate poetry
Yet, I think I was made to write
Put my thoughts to ink
Quiver in the dwellings of my muse
My blue eyed vice
Where my wars have signed peace treaties
And love doesn’t seem like brittle bone
To where I hope my forever is
Cast among my dreams for us

AMA
My confessions seem to always lie at the bottom of the deep end
These intricate caverns of guilt doused memories
With no true reason
For I have never truly felt loved
Forgotten and cast aside
By those unaware, yet cast like a skipping stone
Smooth and polished and so misshapen
As if my father not loving me was my own doing
Or unable to believe my past loves could love me
For I believed I was different and different couldn't be loved
Yet, I learned by you
That some may love the sunrise, while other's may love the sunset
And night feels just as home as day
While one can be attached to land
As the other soaks in the waves
Yet, there's sand in between
That's where our love seems to meet
Somewhere in between
And of that, all of which it is
I wouldn't trade for the world

Love is like a fire.
It can burn you,
Just as easily as it can warm you.

Love is like an ocean.
It can drown you,
Just as easily as it can embrace you.

It seems that I'm not the only one
Who's feeling what were all feeling
I find myself catching news
That we all need a little bit of healing
It seems that we're testing the waters of the deep end
Just reach out your hand to mine
For some hearts just need a little bit of solace

In these crazy...times.

Looped into these last days of eternity
With all the heavenly unseen
Billowed and plowed in dark crave
Lost in a sea of diluted voice
Becoming and unbecoming just that

Eternity

Where small memory and blank pages
Define the parameters where nothingness
Disappears into the palm trees
And the first symptom to surface is desire
Denounced to the many hands
Following the map of keys
Tethered to the piano
As sun soaked faces trace contrails
With speckled eyes
We find ourselves in grievanced turmoil
Amongst such lush life
I am part of many groups
Yet, not part of any
Part of the crowd
Yet, free like a bird
Like the neem tree
Rooted
And its branches sway free
