This Too Shall Pass

Saturday, June 17

whenever pieces of the sky

fall upon my head and knock me down

to the point where

im riddled with bruises and scars

and my knees and hands are bloody

and i can feel the dams about to break

and release my broken tears,

i've always head one thought

and a collection of memories

close enough

to make it all go away...

so now that your sky is falling

and your sprawled on the floor

trying to stop

your scraped knees from bleeding

and your bruised hands from aching,

and even though salt water

leaks down your cheeks,

i hope you can hold me

and all the times we spent together

close enough

to make it all go away.

I Want To Live

Friday, July 2

i'll draw a face a day

just so i can live

all these different lives

that aren't mine.

i'll draw happiness and anger

jealousy, envy

starstruck lovers in grasp

i'll draw a face a day.

with each face comes a life

so fresh and clean and new

in its own graphite home

nothingl ike this world.

i'll draw a face a day

and then when it's erased

i look up at the world

and see reality.

Concentrate on Ripples

Tuesday, June 29

concentrate on ripples

never let them fade

keep them growing yonder

where stillness had once laid.

see them getting stronger

a growing entity

with each new passing droplet

their will become more free.

until that outer rim

it never seems to end

a forced backed by the gods

all cracks and lines it mends.

now concentrate on ripples

that never seem to fade

until they just stop growing

and once more stillness lays.

When You Love Me

Sunday, June 20

when i picture you with me

i hear the raging symphony.

and when i see your starry eyes

i feel so good i wanna cry.

when if feel you lips on mine

all of space just falls in time

and when your whispers reach my ears

you wash away all of my tears.

when you hold me close and tight

i dream of you all through the night.

and when you listen to my words

you take away all of the hurt.

when your skin rubs up on mine

the sun never seizes to shine.

and even when your not with me

our love will last eternally.

How Do I Describe This?

Saturday, June 19

being with you

is like listening to your favorite song

on full blast in a dark room.

its mindblowing.

my mind blanks

and you soul wanders up the hill

running faster

and the journey continues.

its something new.

every new moment

kindles old experiences into new feelings

that are warm

and comfortable.

its magic.

you hold tomorrow's magic

something i could never imagine along

without you

your touch, your heart.

its love.

Pressed So Close

Wednesday, June 16

cool skin on fire

pressed so close.

boiling, sizzling, popping like fireworks

a cold whisper

a warm touch

pressed so close.

presents and confidence

locked away

only for the crystal ball

of a certain someone

to whom i'm

pressed so close.

hearts burn by raw ice

hearts pressed so close

hidden behind barred windows

skin on glass on skin

pressed so close.

pressed so close...

To The One That I Love

Friday, June 11

you make my heart ache

but in a good way.

a way so good that i just want to

walk up to a stranger

and give him a new life

a life in which he can feel

just like i do.

because how i feel

feels like a warm sensation in my stomach

and like my feet are numb

and someone is tickling them

and even though i can't feel it

i know someone is there

so i can't help but laugh.

you make me feel like the world's on fire

but its far enough away

so that it just keeps me warm.

you make me feel alive... reborn

like i'm just learning how to walk

and talk and feel

all over again and you are teaching me

you make me feel so young

but so old at the same time

and you make me realize that i want

to do nothing

but be with you all the time

so i can kiss you

and hug you and touch you

because when i do

the universe around me falls away

leaving only you.

that's how it feels.

and even when you are not here

i can't help but think

that the future is going to be so beautiful

because you will be there

with me.

i love you so much.
