With shaky legs and trembling hands,
Cowed is how my Courage stands
Uneven breaths and bloodshot eyes,
My Composure succumbs to panic and cries
Betrayed, hurt and constantly lied to,
Love mumbles bitterly, "What am I to do?"
Those naïve enough to fall for lies and deceit,
With unveiled scorn dies my "Compassion" meet
Distrust was a nuisance,he put me in a foul mood
But he also protected me from those, he was sure, were upto no good
"Careful! Don't!", cautioned Fear, a skittish friend
Held my hand and kept me safe till the journey's end
Jealousy has been putting me down ever since I met 'er,
What that did, was drive me mad, and drive me to do better
Staggering along, weighing me down, is who else but Gloom
As a child, there are things I just couldn’t know,
that “love” is a nightingale held aloft by a hundred pale lies,
that these frigid winged creatures are often just for show.
As a teen there was nothing I thought I didn’t know
except that forever can still mean never sometimes.
As an adult there is still so much I admit I’ll never know
but “love” is a nightingale held aloft by a hundred pale lies.
Random rebel blues
Just cry now, get it all out
And then see where you stand
It’s like day dreams – the way I see you now
Last time I took you for a drive
We made turns that we were unsure of
Winding up somewhere outside the lines
And then folded and settled – back the way we should’ve been
Valentine’s Day
And great promises for a new year
Forgive me for forgiving time
I was never good with vengeance
I can’t ever seem to get it right
Not the way that you did
(She whispered to me one night)
“Hush and fall back and find your place”
Like something new in the world today
Like a prism of color
Rain water dancing on the roof of my car
Watching the girls play in the mud
That once was sand
That once was ocean
That once was life
And my God –
Stopping myself from wanting
What is probably natural
(Replace the ones that I love)
And I’m almost certain there’s truth
In this misery
Can’t find the off button
The switch to makes this all go away
What would you say if I kissed you?
I want to be with you.
I want to learn everything about you. I want to be the one you come to when you feel alone.
I want to be your one.
I want to be able to go to you.
I want to learn to love again for you.
I want to know you.
I want you to know me.
I want you to hold you.
I want you to hold me.
I want to trust you.
I want you to trust me.
I want to live a life where I'll come home knowing you're there.
I want to be able to just be in your company and things be okay.
I want you to love me.
I want life to be calm when I'm around you.
I want things to make sense with you. I want to have stupid cute couple moments with you.
I dont speak in parallel structure
I think in chaotic narrative
I write in fragments
I love too hard
And I dont speak in parallel structure
I see the way you look at them.
The fire in your eyes, the rose petal blushing facing across your skin.
It's okay...
I know. It's okay. I just want you to know that it's always okay
If you love them, adore them over me...
It's okay.
You can't choose and you can't fight it.
So go to them.
Be there, take what is yours and never regret it.
Because it's okay
I love you
It's okay...
Heroin, cocaine, whiskey,
Intoxicating, dangerous, brilliant, vibrant.
Sunflowers, orchids, red, black, green, white,
Safe, happiness and home, musk, content.
The way we dance in secret, under the midnight sun,
Silent promises and love filled smiles,
So completely enchanted by one another.
Whispered truths and frightful dreams,
Animalistic urges, gentle caresses,
Primal sounds and tender kisses
Spasmodic movements, heated breath.

Love?
What is love?
It’s not a thing,
Not a feeling,
It’s not physical,
Not mental,
It’s not permanent,
Not temporary,
Love?
What is love?
it was the best time of the year
hanging up the christmas lights, decorating the christmas tree
joy and excitement filled my heart just like it did yours
always at that time of the year
though this time it came along with a hinge of sadness
I love you and I will miss you
it was our last christmas
Where magic flows through
Your soul, and kindness
Which you allow to reach your heart
Where the water taps
The sky
Where the mother never
Bids the child
A goodbye
Where the little one's
Laughter always echoes
But never annoys
Where you must travel to take me home
Beyond those mountains and
Past the trees.
From where I was stolen,
I long to go home
Laughs, light, and twisted smiles
If only it was seen by the child.
Surrounded by covered faces
If only it was known by the child.
Love turns hate
If only it was detected by the child.
Games turn to fate
If only it was undiscovered by the child.
Walls learn to stay strong
If only it was controlled by the child.
Happiness be not a blanket
If only it was worn by the child
Love be not a mask
If only it was learned by the child.
If the dark is seen as light
Let it be seen by the child.
