"seeme" poems
No Lover saith, I love, nor any other Can judge a perfect Lover; Hee thinkes that else none can, nor will agree That any loves but hee; I cannot say I'lov'd. for who can say Hee was kill'd yesterday? Lover withh excesse of heat, more yong than old, Death kills with too much cold; Wee dye but once, and who lov'd last did die, Hee that saith twice, doth lye: For though hee seeme to move, and stirre a while, It doth the sense beguile. Such life is like the light which bideth yet When the lights life is set, Or like the heat, which fire in solid matter Leave behinde, two houres after. Once I lov's and dy'd; and am now become Mine Epitaph and Tombe. Here dead men speake their last, and so do I; Love-slaine, loe, here I lye.

John Donne - The Paradox
No Lover saith, I love, nor any other Can judge a perfect Lover; Hee thinkes that else none can, nor will agree That any loves but hee; I cannot say I’lov’d. for who can say Hee was kill’d yesterday? Lover withh excesse of heat, more yong than old, Death kills with too much cold; Wee dye but once, and who lov’d last did die, Hee that saith twice, doth lye: For though hee seeme to move, and stirre a while, It doth the sense beguile. Such life is like the light which bideth yet When the lights life is set, Or like the heat, which fire in solid matter Leave behinde, two houres after. Once I lov’s and dy’d; and am now become Mine Epitaph and Tombe. Here dead men speake their last, and so do I; Love-slaine, loe, here I lye.

The Paradox
summertime and its evening skys with their colors that flow within my eyes cool winds blow the night air, clear perhaps the end is near for us to be together here your love it seeme has disapeared the wintertime so cold and still snow falls silent upon the hill the nights are lonely, full of emptinees missing your eyes and that tender kiss and i know now were i went wrong the words i sing to, this sadden song reminds e that your forever gone springtime comes and the skys are blue the sun is warm, the land anew waters flow from the mountain high i still remember your last goodbye memories of you i'll always keep i'll dream of you when i sleep in hopes to hold you tight when we meet but maybe it time to rearrange to fine out its me that has to change

Because you come in the hum of a familiar song. It's always at night and it lingers just to terrify my fright. I'm not concerned with how it sounds, but why it won't go away. Why most songs I know refuse to leave and only worsen when they stay. It's never intentional but the lack of intent it inflects and infects the left over flesh I have revealed from these wounds left. Because if I wear my emotions on my sleeves then there's not enough skin left to even bruise. I don't hold the past far above my head, So I don't understand why I believe parts of me are dead. I just know when I was with you is when I felt so alive. So why can't I seem to feel that way again. So it's all the same and I listen to the past to feel the pain, but my nerves don't react the same because I live in the present so why won't the pensions dissolve I have resolve I got it solved I'm sick of this hole. And the candle burns at both ends. Mending the emotions and the forgetful notions of hopes sent. I just wish I had answers, but the more I ask the more I have questions. It seeme like life wants me to stay guessin, or at least I can fool it and pretend. By learning nothing and staying silent and bearing this suffering when I hear your song end. So it never does. Even after I fall in love. Maybe all wounds heal the same way, but others tend to stay longer than they'd like to explain. Because being in love with you was a vacant room, I lived idly through day by day. The warm colors were the only other reasons I had to live for back then. When food had no taste, but your lips stained my face and I could never hope to find that same place, or purpose in anyone else. So please don't leave a stain. Next time I let someone in I won't beg them to stay or throw a parade when they say our times up and the only love I'll leave you with is lies. So I'll part my finally goodbyes when I've grown and shown you all that I'm no longer. Founder and stronger. I choose to live in the present.

Living for myself
