Hopeful fingers reaching out
Searching for more than we need
Greed exists within us all
Without denial, without a doubt
Hope, hope, hope...
Right beneath the surface
Another one from the journey home!

Meeting friendly people, in knowing
That friendship was never an option here
Slow journeys, with heavy eyelids
Wondering when home will return
For home is not a location
But a mere fly on the wall
I wrote this at the end of my trip, on the bus to the airport.

Hands up
Eyes shut
Back straight
Relief

Pink sky
Warm air
Honest words

I just got back from a Christian camp in Germany. After my first night of intense worship, I sat outside with my journal, saw how beautiful the sunset looked and wrote this.

Cherry-red lipstick
Cautious fingertips
Chocolate-chip irises
Whisper "I love you too"

New star-lit romance
Just one more slow dance
With shy wandering hands
But eyes forever on you

Labels... They are completely unnecessary. If you want something, then go get it. If you want someone, then go get them. If you love someone, then go be with them. Find out if they want to be with you too, or spend your speechless life wondering.

Find out, or die trying to kiss them. Maybe they'll kiss you first. Maybe they'll insist on having a platonic relationship anyway. Maybe you'll be right, maybe you won't, but it will be an adventure regardless.

Cut all abusive figures out of the picture. This is your picture. Decorate it however you want. Decorate it with whomever you want. With whomever wants you too. I mean, I want you... I really want you.

Could I be the cherry on top of your pretty please? Could I rest on the tip of your tongue? Could I have just one taste of your tongue? Could you hesitate to pull away first? Could you take hold of my hand again? That was really nice...

Maybe you'd surprise yourself. Maybe you'd surprise me too. Well, I know how to surprise you. How to survive with you. How to stay by your side, too.

Could you stay by my side? Could you survive with me? Now, that would surprise me... Will you be my surprise? Because I want you.
Wrote this one the other night! My friend said he liked it, so I figured I'd upload it here :~)

I may not be the perfect man
But at least I can understand
That no means no, it's simple as
Don't worry, it's all in the past
It's not as if I expected a yes
