Oh my dear
You're a creature the world doesn't produce quite often
The world longs to feel your bare feet amongst its skin
it craves to play its wind tipped fingers through your hair
It desires you so badly it's sun's heat dives into the gleams of your eyes
Cascaded in moonlit kisses to make an everlasting complexion
No, the world doesn't get more mysterious everyday, but you came along
A rarity unknown to many

How curious
The mind tries to plan all outcomes we shall face in life so, zealously
Except our hearts beg to run into love on such random occurrence
If we should end in fire, then we shall both burn together
Hope for binding resolutions from shattered skies and scorched earth
Let the tides wash away the hallowed souls
And, let us drown in the unpredictable struggles
Of what we hope our love is to be

For I struggle with you
And therefore I have never known to call
Yet is it possible
I see you in small moments
Of glimpses in silence
When everything feels right
Even if temporary
In the snow flakes in january
Or the suns rays as they caress me
We’re all so unpredictable
Pulled by the currents of life away
Finding time for you seems impossible
To pray to something that could be a lie
Is this my breath in your lungs?
Maybe I am the ship
And you’re the rogue wave
Come to sink me
As you sit high on the upper circles
Locked away in the clouds
Behind golden gates
Chained shut to me

I've been told my expectations are too high
To lower my standards
That what I seek isn't a reality
And I have probably passed up
A beautiful mind
Or
A beautiful face
But, I cannot change this vision of mine
She's out there
Utterly perfect in all of her imperfections

Even after all this time
I still choose to blindly believe
That love is real and all there is

In a lost amount of complexities
You're quite simple aren't you?
In a testament of strength
You fair boy, you seem to be my greatest adversary
Breathing in and out
Cause' rooms filled up with faces
And the air so thick we could taste it
Heavy heads always seem a racing
And somedays you can feel yourself erasing
Freedom in the high lows
Find some space and learn to let go
As a soul seems to be shifting higher
Bursting at the seems of good hope
Clashing like images of kaleidoscopes
That sounds like my life though

Pretty girl
In her feels
Poppin’ pills
Feelin’ visceral

We were both scared to outgrow one another
We vowed
To uproot mountains
Paint the sun black
Swim in hell's fires
Make deals with angels and devils alike
For just moments next to one another
Growing seems to be such a curse and a blessing
At least we agree of growing together
Those are our vows to eachother
Till the rivers run dry
And the suns firestorms scorch us
When the earth breathe's anew
We're burdened and burning
I just wouldn't want to burn for anyone, but you

Love
Reckless and defenseless
Open and vulnerable, isn't it wonderful?

I should've seen this through
But, we both knew how this could end
Well, I guess things just don't change
You let feelings fade again
Except, I see you clear as day
You slipped right through my fingers in the rain
I'm lookin' at the clouds
You know I hate this weather
I swear we can work it out
If I'm not with you, how can I fall asleep again?
Just tell me the words that you want to say
Cause' when they finally leave your lips, you'll see I'm worlds away
If I need you, I'll see you in my dreams
Cause' you threw it all over waterfalls

This bed is my raft
Afloat in the rocky big blue
Sometimes when I attempt to venture out
My toes are ever so slightly wet
Until I reach the door
I find myself drowning
You come in waves

I got you feeling
Some wanting type of way
Crash into me like the waves
Love seeing you pull me to the top
Slow on the breathing
Floating away
Drowning in me
I know that you can't get enough
Crashing together high tide
Swells in our life wells
Love marks and bitten lips
I can see in your eyes that you want to just drown
I can see in your eyes that you want to go now

Let’s run away to the beach
Ask the skies not to change a thing
I just want to catch some waves with you
Find our way back to the shallows
Before we get in way too deep
And the waves tell us all the things
We’re just too scared to say

Hey
I just
Wanted
You to know
That there is I
And
There is You
That's what most people
Desire
Yeah just us two
We're a simple kind of Love.

What do you say
To the girl you love
When "I love you" just doesn't seem like enough?
Do you jump to the skies and the mountains above
To the welling waters and the oceans embrace
How the never ending sea kisses the sands in wavy embraces
Old myths of four armed and legged beasts
Powerful enough to tear the world asunder
Split into two's, for the gods feared their power?
I heard stories of them from long ago
Given a mighty name: Soulmates
Perhaps, you recite bible verses of love, forgiveness, and sins
What if we jump to the unconditional loves?
Oh, maybe you recite poetic lines of Romeo and Juliet
Imagine disabilities of Traynor and Clark
When the words Me Before You became the norm
Tell her you'll have infinities in moments
Like The Fault In Our Stars
Maybe, you tell her everyday without her
You're just another lost soul


There's always the possiblity
I have this all wrong
That the most I can say is in the silence between us
In fragile moments
When our lips interlock
And, the sun catches her eyes in a flavor of a minute
Or, the times she's smiling to herself lost in the line of a book
In the moment where she takes the first bite of icecream
After a day that left both of your feet sore
It's really hard and even a little soul tearing
That I cannot seem to find an accurate description in words
Of how I truly feel, because it all is not enough

So, I will just say this
I will be at my 10
Until the sun burns out
Or the Sea's tide overcomes us
When California becomes The Bay of Arizona
And Yellowstone has finally had it's time with us
For, I am in love
Maybe, it's just as simple as that

If there is one thing
I am
Guilty
Of
It's Loving and Giving
When
You
Take too much.

To my mother
And
My long lost lovers
May these words
Give you a glimpse
Of the reality
That such is my world
And to the souls
Who will bare witness
Have hope
For love is real
I know it is
I've seen it
I just couldn't grab it.

Her beautiful eyes breathed fire into life
Soft spoken lips whisper honey dipped words into the folds of my desires
As delicate soothing fingers caress the burning cravings of my heart
A kiss to calm the overdosing pride of consumption within the walls of a mind
What makes a man?
I think I might know
It's the day when she stokes the embers that awaken who he needs to be

Where do we go from here?
When it seems like we've lost one another
Let's step out in the dark
One foot in front of the other
Feel my bones getting older
Turning to dust and watching skyscrapers begin to rust
Let's just find a place and lose it for a day
Just lost looking for moments, wondering what we'll be
Sadly, the future is just something we can't see
Let's just hope that were finding hope
At the three a.m. callings
Lately, I've been constricted with despair
Wondering if you're still there
Just know I still care
If I asked you to stay
Would you still want to run away
Every other day?
Cause, I'd still choose you even when were far from home
And not sure where to go
Just know, that when you're ready, that I'm game to go with the flow

I'm on a journey
Just looking for where to run
I'm just looking for where Love is alive
Scared of the thought I'm losing it all

There's no one else
I'd rather have here around me
Running down the beach
Sinking our toes into the sand

My words got lost on the balance of silence
I hope you can understand
All of our chaos surrenders
Changing the waves and the tides
It'll be okay with you here by my side
The water can keep getting deeper
I'll be staying here right next to your side
Staying happily warm and dry
It's always too early to quit you say
And I just want to go where Love is alive

If we make it out alive
Drowning deep in the sea
Pull me back to shore
Cough up the salt licked sympathies
Compass only points to the east
Pointing to thee
For where you are
I will be
Miles high in the deep
Walking in your gardens in ecstasy
Wild flowers crushing beneath our feet
Taking our time drinking the whiskey dipped memories

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

They always swore they would and they tried.

Miles out, just you and I
Neck deep in the seas hands
You bet I couldn't outswim the sunrise
So, I cheated and dove down deep
Watched as the rays flew overhead
I found a moment to be brave
Cause' the deeper I went
The more I learned about the loss we feel
It's funny I got caught in the depths upon your calling
It's almost as if the demons got their call in
For the first time the ocean froze over
Caught beneath the ice, December knows me well
She whispered just loud enough to know
In the winter, she'll be there burning slow

The moon and I have what you might call
A love hate relationship
As I find her overwhelmingly beautiful
And she likes to show me my loneliness

We all start off with plans and heart hopes
And it’s all we can do
In the dazzle of the midnight moon
When the rains turn to snow
With the world covered in white blood
Without the summer drives
We lose some gravity
In the flurries and snowscapes
Technicolor landslides
When lovers find their body gold
And the world has its livewire
For just as we have Night and Day
Light and Dark
Black and White
You can’t have the Summer
Without a little Winter wonder

How do you keep moving forward
When every fiber of your being
Is screaming to turn and run back
To the girl of your dreams?
Cause, I get it now
What they say home’s not always a place
For me, it’s a Wisconsin girl

My apologies dear
I'm sorry, that she'll get to see sides of me
That you deserved too

When
I
Was
Young
I
Use
To
Wish
For
Girls
Like
You
In
Wishing
Well­s,
Now
I
Just
Wish
You
Well

We fell in love, but the love kept running out
We follow roads, but the roads all end
We lived and learned, and learned to live without
