Had she been a pianist

he might have crushed her fingers.

Had she been a painter

he could have left her blind.

Or were she a poet

he would have taken her tongue.


But she was none of these.

She was a lover  

and he need only

to break

We walk into these shadows freely

Talking so much of tea leaf readings

Dousing water flames to steal the moment

Then sowing close those enlighten freedoms

You're the shining star

In my dark night

I look from afar

I'll win this fight

I just need you now

Before I die

 

I'll get down and shout

About the way I feel

Free your mind of doubt

I'll show you what's real

Just take my hand

And fly

Pacify My Soul

God please pacify my soul.

As you sit on your heavenly throne.

And throw unto me fields of gold.

 

God your hands are willowy and old

Like those of my dear mother

And her mother before.

 

Heaven is a place I know

Or at least know of.

In her eyes of many

I Can't Let You Go

When your alarm wakes me up 
I squeeze my eyes shut. 
I hope it is just a dream 
I don't want to get up yet. 
Then you roll over to turn it off... 
I sigh with dismay. 
You roll back towards me  
And bury your face in my neck. 
God this kills me.

Suddenly I can't breathe.
Darkness.
What time is it?
4:12 am.
I have plenty of time.

I roll over.
There is a pain in my stomach
A stab in the heart.
God. 
You're beautiful when you're sleeping.

I wrap my arms around you.
I hope you can somehow  
Feel my

This Is The Part When My Body Crumbles

This is the part when my whole body crumbles.

It shakes and twists

Turning flipping aching.

I have been here before

Twice to be exact.

The same I want to puke

but I cant move.

I start to sweat

My body is over heating.

I don't know how I got like this.
Nothing makes sense
I've been to the bottom but..
But this is different.
This is a side of me that I don't like.
A side I never thought could exsist.
So bitter so mad so jealous..

I know I tell you all the time:

Hidden beneath
Gone under the layers
A place you can't see;
The answer lies.
You won't open your eyes.

If I said we were different
Would you believe me?
or
Would you blow me off?

You want the truth
Though you run from it
You listen to the words
But you don't

A frabjous day

On a cooing sway

Swish swashing

This way and that

Forlorn sits a silent writer

A lover and fighter

How can it be

Such empathy

Towards a wilting flower

No matter what the animal be

A person or a tower

A lovely sky in the air

To Wake Her or Run

Now this we have all pondered

After a good night’s drunk

Was she the 3 am last resort

Or was she the catch your friends will envy?

This is the moment in time where we all contemplate

Should I chance it

When I think of you it all falls through
The tables have turned its not up to you
You know our situation could be better
But it’ll never work when we’re together
Just like the buildings that surround me
These Romantic relationships are looking bleak
Its raining outside yesterday and today
Its making my whole
