She.

She speaks a language

no one else speaks

so she does not speak a word.

Silent is she, preferring to be

understood rather than heard.

She sees the details

no one else sees

so she knows what's yet to come.

But still she tries to act surprised

for its safer to just play dumb.

She feels the feelings 

no one else feels 

so she keeps them all inside.

Though its a pain she just can't explain them

believe me, she has tried.

You were there...

You were there

for me

when my world was black

you shown a lantern

onto my fears

exposed them

as strangely defeatable

suddenly things

began to make sense

in a cascade

of questions answered

insatiable my dreams

began to widen

as if you opened a fence

long locked to me

the key was you

our longing eyes alighted

met and held

as if fate and destiny

collided

recreating ourselves.

Locked into time

Upon the old path,

traveled many a toe.

With lessons to learn, 

and notions that grow.

Ideas and moments,

locked into tomes.

Lost amongst love,

and lost upon rhymes.

The things that are said,

with a mind full of thoughts.

The words that are thrown,

without any doubt.

Without any reason,

without any rhyme.

Lost amongst love,

and locked into time.

Depth of our Love.

Earth may spin wrong

Sun may fade away

Moonlight may brighten up

Oceans may drown

Fire may burn

Everest my fall

and 

Nature may surrender

In the depths of our love

Our hugs stop motion

Our kisses freeze time

My touch gives you a thumping heart

your touch gives me another life

due to

the depth of our love.

The little things I live for..

Holding her hand in the cold weather,

kissing her in the rain

cuddling through the storm

These are the little things I live for.

Wind running through her hair

while running around in circles

stopping to breathe

These are the little things I live for.

Silence when everybody's talking

peace when everything''s out of place

calmness when everyone's ranting

These are the little things I live for.

The way she looks into my eyes

The way she makes me crazy

The way she blushes

The way she loves me.

These are the little things I live for.

And these are the things I'll never forget.

PS I Love You.

I love you more than the stars in the sky

I love you more than the rain in the summer

more than the sunlight which trickles through my curtains in mid winter

I love you more than the flowers which grow wild

and more than the yellow butterfly I once caught

but then let go because it was too beautiful to hold captive

and I wanted to share that beauty with the world.

I love you more than the river I once jumped in and the clear water

that splashed on my face and made me feel like I was washing away the past.

I love you more than the greenery of the grass and the redness of roses

and the browness of the oak that grows behind my house.

I love you more than the sound of the birds in the morning

and the crickets which chirp late at night.

I love you more than the wind which blows away my fears 

and the rain which drowns my tears 

and the sun which warms my heart 

and the moon which gives me hope

and the stars which guide me home.

I love you more than all these things combined.

My heart has always belonged to the wild 

and these are what make up my existence

These are what give me purpose

and prove to me that life is worth living.

These are my reasons to wake up in the morning

and fall asleep at night.

And if you have managed to capture my soul and free my heart 

to the point where I love you more than nature and its miracles

then I must say that 

you have claimed every part of me 

because truly I never thought it was possible to love anything or anyone

more than I did the feeling of freshly cut grass against my bare feet

but you have proven me wrong.

Coming home.

Love can be fleeting

or can be all encompassing

it depends on the people

and the hearts that are involved.

I have given so much of myself

to hearts that never returned the pleasure

I have struggled to keep long alive 

though its light had begun to fade.

Sometimes I wonder where my path would go 

now I feel this is where I am supposed to be

in your arms, so full of love

splendid and secret moments of joy.

Alone with you, I feel whole

no need of anything else

Is this what its supposed to feel like?

like I am coming home.

Wonder..

Do you ever wonder

if there's love left on this Earth?

Do you ever wonder 

why the world is cold and still?

Do you ever wonder 

why winter lovers catch a chill?

Do you ever wonder

when an adult becomes old?

Do you ever wonder 

when children grow so bold?

Do you ever wonder

how skies became so grey?

Do you ever wonder

how a mockingbird's young play?

Do you ever wonder

of this I cannot see.

But I know you will never wonder

how much you love me.

Growth.

It is a fire that can't be put out

you have to walk through it

to get to the other side.

Sometimes

the bridges collapse

and the smoke rolls thick and engulfing

whose histories erased in the carnage

love letters written on rice paper

their falling ashes drift in the wind

like dried petals from a dead rose.

There is no soft landing

but humility is found in the falling

the greatest strength in rising again

and knowing

getting burned is part of growth.

Honest liars

We hide our

true selves

In this big wide world

But feel free

In these dark corners

To empty our hearts

Tell those

most important

That life's all good

and confess

To these strangers

our true thoughts.

Don't get me wrong,

I see no harm

in what we do.

But which of

our poetical faces

tells lies

and which

speaks true. 

She found me..

I was ready to give up

but then she found me

I was ready to let my demons possess me

but then she found me

I spent my days surrounded by monsters

but then she found me

she guided me out of the darkness

she illuminated a cobblestone path to happiness

that was paved with my mistakes and broken bones

I tried my best to hold her hand

without cutting hers with my fractured nails

she cleaned the blood from my fingertips

and wiped away the tears

that felt so heavy

She gave me a place to rest

when my legs couldn't carry on any further

she stitched my wounds closely

the places in me that were empty

she filled with love

I owe her my life

but instead

I'll give her my heart.

P.S. I love her.

True love.

Every moment we spent together

has touched our lives, our souls forever

the things that we shared and learned

is permanent growth that we've earned.

The person that I have grown into today

did not get there by chance, no way

I am who I am partly because of you

And you are You because of me, too.

The changes I see

and what I have learned about me

are a response to how we affected our lives

and what we discover in eyes of each other.

It is uncertain if we have to part or one day live together

either way, we have touched our lives forever.

No matter what the future will show 

no matter what we are told.

We are connected on such a deep level

that no one can remove that, not even the devil.

Our feelings might be different a year from now

but you are part of me forever somehow.

A part of me will always be you

and a part of you will always be mine

no matter what happens, that much is certain

our souls are one until life closes the curtain.

 I will love you forever

for worse or for better.

You are tattooed in my heart

and nothing can tear our souls apart.

I will never forget you,

for my love is honest and true.

Thoughts on love

I've always thought about love

what type of person

I'll fall for

What they'll look like

How love will feel

But then the second 

I realized I had fallen for you

And my thoughts on love changed

you redefined my definition of love

you make me spin

and you make my heart forever race

none of this is how I ever thought

But I'm okay with that

Its even better..

Where there is..

Where there is love

there is nothing impossible

when there is you and me

there is nothing hard or difficult

when there is understanding

there is no place for problems

when there is faith

there will be hope

when there is hope

there will always be a smile

when there is a smile

how can tears ever exist?

when there is care

how can be a heart broken?

when there is a heartbeat

there is always a way for dreams

when there is a dream

there will always be a tomorrow

when there is tomorrow

how can be ever not meet?

If we ever not meet up again back home?

How can I live without you?

when there is you

there should be no me.

A Life Remembered..

We walk along the pebbled path

searching for the one who's passed

Earth, stone and death

nearing the marble unkempt.

What to do but stare

peering into the nothing there

No breath, no flesh, no words, nor sounds

merely what is left deep underground.

Why does this ritual ease the soul

there must be a happier place to go.

Somewhere to feel the love that is,

it is not too far away to look within.

Safely there your memories remain,

as it will till I am no more.

Embracing you there relieves the pain,

feeling your energy makes my heart beat more.

Remembering your eyes, smiles and words,

give me peace for you.

You are always loved

and never forgotten.

My life..

I breathe a sea of emotions

I am the painter of the vast sky

the sun and the moon

whispers each memory

when I close and open my eyes

I rise with the mountains

and drown beneath the ocean's time

I fly with the birds

and dance with the trees

I see the air's breath

through its gentle breeze

I was born from one's history

and died from a subtle knife

I might reborn

after a very long time

Just read my words

and listen to the music of my heart

My life is a song 

of endless poetry.

How powerful are words?

Words

they make your tiny wheels

turn like clockwork

it's automatic

sometimes the wheels

spin so fast

damage happens

Irreparable thoughts enter

a snap occurs

reaction follows

the result

an immense collapse.

On the other hand

the opposite

a building of

encouragement

helpful and thoughtful

collections of compliments

making a person believe

they can achieve anything.

oh how powerful

are words.

Chance

I don't ask for much

I don't need a lot

I think that maybe I ask too little.

I think about you

I still do

A lot more than usually

Since my phone is silent

still like the sheets on my bed.

I know I've wronged you

I know I've not been my best

I want to make things right

I want to keep my promises.

All I need is a chance

a window

a moment

a startover

I will be who I'm on the inside

The truth

the real me

No fakes, no lies

just you looking straight into me

Another fighting chance

Another fighting chance

Please
