The day is finally here
Bouquets and bow ties
Subtle chatter fills the gardens
out my window
Along with the sweet smell of cheesecakes
Sifting down the halls of the Ahwahnee
My dearest
I fail to hold your overflowing heart
Spilling starboard of these shaking seas
The bow holds stern
Along course amongst the laughter
And tears of those we send away
Spring clouds pirouette with the sun
Illuminating numerous fawn
With their gallant temperament

I love you

Glistening grass embodies the beauty
And nature of these woods
Towering mountains protect the chaos
Within our souls
Fresh dew glides the scape
Promising of new life to come

I love you so dearly

Stiffened suits mask soft bodies
As we make our way to the grand hall
Echoing excitement boasts beyond the trees
Yet as you enter
My heart is all that is heard
A single kiss to carve our names into Destiny
As one with many
We will prevail all fears
And conquer these mountains
that keep us safe
Together forever seems too simple
With your blanket of love to keep me warm
The illuminating moon
shines upon your cheek so brightly
As if a star pours from your beauty
A bond born on a day of curse
Just as we planned
To tempt those who challenge our love
May we go into this unknown
With hands clasped
And awake as one
This is about my planned wedding day. Although it will no longer happen. I still dream of it. Seeing her there with me gives me a feeling I can't describe.

I
     AM
                FEARLESS
Nothing could ever scare me
Or hurt me for that matter
With no intentions to bow to the weak and inconsiderate idea of fear
No moment is too big
No journey too long
I      a m        u n s t o p p a b l e
Nothing on this earth could ever stop me
Or make me quiver
Fear will never stand in my way
For a thousand years I will stand tall
Never to back down from anything
There is nothing I can imagine that would ever scare me


Well....


                



Until that day






The day you left

H ow do I overcome this loss when
E very memory I had was with you
L ove seems to be as cruel as it is sweet
P iercing the body with its hurt

End
Spirits roam and despise
May we rise
Just to fall
As humanity tries
To leap for skies
Before the crawl
In our eyes
Small tears of lies
Abandoning us all
As the last man dies
Our final dream flies
Forever death reigns tall

You see those words on your phone?
The ones that pop up as suggestions
Before you type something
The stories they tell
And the pain they hold
Of the words we use most
That we'll never get back
These are mine
I.                        Love.                   You.
Let me know what yours say.

Why is it the rain pours harder
when you're not around
Shattering droplets
Piercing every last thought
Morphing these old habits
With new ideas
Thunderous clatter used to bring me peace
Now I lay awake
Shuttering as the pulse of vibrations
Shake my existence
Like a frail cat searching for peace
I can no longer calm this aching heart
Nor these shaking hands
Under streams of the moon's beaming light
I fail to hide away
Searching for you in the night
As to calm my battered soul
I will search on, Until the day
Our warm touch meets again

For a thought, jump for the sky
Remember living but do not cry
Silky wisps of air pass on by
Vision is useless, don't even try
Feel your spirit like a thought of trance
Twirl on, twirl on as if your last dance
Fight to expand from the crushing grip
Spare no memories from your final trip
Be as one that is, not to shatter away
As time will halt masterfully as you stay
Eons pass along with your beautiful flow
Just flicker ever so often with that faint glow
Cutting into our minds like a knife
Watch on, as you give us your life.
