3 am wake you up to sit and talk.
But the sound of your breathing, the sound of your voice,
The sound of the feeling, the sound of our kiss.
The feeling of you wrapped around my hips.

6 am up, thinking of you
While poetry is the language I choose, for my visionary awareness of the experience you arranged, to create the emotion, I'm trying to erase

9 am we both do separate things,
Me wondering what would have been, if i were by your side
I gasped a little mesmerizing the thought.

Hour by hour
Time passes by
I am hollow inside
Tik tok,  tik tok
Still a black void
Floating on earth but not very far

12 am you come along
Setting me free to outer space.
Holding my hands to keep warm, to pull me closer to position a fire deep inside me.

I'm just being me
I don't know what you see
I called you all weird
I broke your heart
Stopped all the shakin' and swayin'
The sooner you left
My heart fell in water
But couldn't drown itself

I guess it's just me
But i couldn't see
Until karma hit me and dragged me along
'will you come back'
The fear keeps racing
They say "writing a love song is hard"
But i keep scripting our story on notepads
Me and you
Just me and you everywhere I go

It's all crystal clear
I could've seen
It's too late
My mind is all crazy
I needed you
You're too far from my door now
It keeps raining

Don't know what to do without you

Guess it's just me
I don't know what i see
I'll let myself fall until i hit the ground
Thinking  "Don't know what I'd do without you"
But I'll gather my broken bones and leave

Blank pages,
Yet our stories are told.
No picture frames,
Even so you’re the memory I hold,

You shot across the bows,
Come to pass to be intoxicated,
I’m home all alone,
Drunk on your love.

It's been a while,
I've seen that smile.
I see her in your arms,
I'm not asking for a free ride.

*
Maybe I'm just in love with the idea of you.
Walking away was easy,
But my feeling still running approaching you.
Let's wash away this misery.

Attacks.
Tears, pillows only know
My breath is caught
Makes you wonder if its the end.

Unjustified panics
I thought I got better
Flash backs
My tears, are blood flowing

Anxiety crippling
Breathe, Breathe, Breathe
No supply
Trying my best to love me through it

Plans shaking
No words racing
My mind erasing
What can I do?

Can't Call
No words to say
Overwhelmed,
My only escape is to disappear

Please leave me alone
I've been good
I stopped taking what I love
But you're still here

Alone
Pushing all that I love away
A monster in disguise
You're the tattoo I never asked for

I've been good for so long
Didn't think it'll go wrong
My body's uncomfortable with me
It's planning my end

Anxiety
Thought my mind was responsible
Now my heart with the mind of its own decided to join
Why are they so committed?

My body is cold
I'm trembling from the heat
You said you care, but there you are uninvested
Maybe if I get attached to you, you'll also leave

Lover stay, call me home I'll never go away
Unchanging it will be, together I know we're free.
Alluring, how your eyes can speak, forever it's my golden antique.
Yours truly. My one and only jewellery by my heartbeat.

When will I hold your hand,
I'm only safe in your demand.
On my way home I want to smell your cologne.
When I'm alone, the scent is embedded on my shirt.

I'll know then I'm forever unhurt.
*
Missed the sound of your voice
The smile I always hear
Why haven't we talked?
Its never been clear.

You're messing with the structure of my poetry
You're calling me? No, its in no hurry
Everything is blurry...
Drop drop, there go my tears

I need you

Our skies are unique colors
But mine seem fades the color
Using pastels to paint my sky
Snow be feeling hotter than the sun
Summer time be colder than winter trips
Clay becomes sticky while glue feels firm and dry
Communication going down hills so steep

Melanin increases as I get closer to your touch
As your touch deepens into my soul
You set fire on fire
Oh you're a sweet melody as it crumbles on my lips
You’re the ear warm that won’t leave but has left me all alone
“look the stars” they say
But all I see is dark.

Sleeping feels like death
Survival feelings  like work
Rainbows

“Coffee is better when expensive”
But I stumbled and found you.
Smile addictive more than time,
Your touch is what I long for.

Blank pages,
Yet our stories are told.
No picture frames,
Even so you're the only memory engraved.

The night falls the moment I blink.
Thought you were impatient,
Connecting... its all it was,
You said "its love.."
*

Close the door,
I don’t want no more,
You schooled me enough.
You'd think I'd remember, but the souvenir all foggy

Its all just cloudy,
You were too close but still didn’t grab me.
Unfortunately,
Unstructured souvenir.

Ineffable.

As I dive deep into woolgathering, all I have is blind neural hearing
Answers only my mind filled with void won't suffice.

challenging a numb skull," isn't that just dull"
embody a soul that could never be full

hold on tight
breathe in, breathe out, breathe light

divert attention, to a dimension for another temptation,
coming to an end with zero homily, pretty uncommonly

only wizards could turn us into beautiful lizards

Haven't done this in a while, but I got a pile
Its funny how I've got speech but I'm speechless
"She said it first" you'll say, all I know is once upon a play
Holograms  of cats, aren't I full of poetry

Styles of fear is what brought us near
"Alas" its us and I don't want it to fall apart
Rivers of coffee, we drank with a frown  
Aches in our stomchs as we chuckled but withdrawn

Mysteries hidden in silent patients
But you're the girl with a guide
I'll call it what I want, but you're the one and its been fun.
I'm sitting here on a Saturday where it all begun.

Again, "you're power, full of beauty"
Again, "its majestic. Are you dimond jewellery?"
Rewind, your childhood, its now, its us!
Rewind, the scent of the rain you're just a child

Call me, when you need me
I'm the shoulder, I'll be your shelter
I'm following the lead, you're my light
Don't worry I'll dust the rust off you'll shine bright

Stars Aligned, Rights Abirth
Zodiac defined, you don't wanna be at earth.

Gorgeous  deep almond eyes
Hard to find honesty
Alluring, can't find my words to say,
Intoxicating, silenced conversations
Dazzling heart, keeping me awake
An unexpected good morning, started ..
New born feeling, its hard to explain

Genuine questions, forever gentle you'll be
I don't look into peoples eyes
You looked deep into my soul,
I couldn't help but catch my breath
Cause' your deep brown eyes have golden flecks as if its lightning in a pitch-black sky

Heart shaped face, singing it own poem
As you love the music but never sing along
Stars and hearts covering your skies, as my prayers for you will forever rise  
Conversations, one to another at 2AM
Now its 12pm, time flies and its time to say goodbye

A cool breeze
Warm hands,.. you reached out
Your care confused me, that confused you
The look on your face, I wonder  
I catch myself smiling until the end  

If its immeasurable time we've talked,
Will it make it illicit?
Lets keep that for another negotiation
Its hard not to thank you every time I'm maimed
Your 'welcome'  is held close to my heart.

Dawn is where, why, when
If they ask, that's what you say
Although knowing you, it'll be the smile
Searching
Can't find my words

An interesting feeling
I always know what to say
But here I am at your presence not knowing a thing
Laugh,
"I don't know" is the most phrase you've heard

Now, help me end this
Even while I'm quite I can go for days
Lets be classic..
"Are you sleepy yet?"
It's never how it ends, usually how it starts

You are quite  the wonder why
