Here's some inspiration:

Simon_III_Msibi said:A birds Symphony

The bird that broke its wing
Sang a sombre song
It sang all night long
sang for the sunrise
Sang for the moon
Sang for recovery
Hoping it will come soon

The bird that broke its wing
Whispered with the wind
As it was the wind
That lead the song into the air
But all this bird could think about was her

The bird that broke its wing sat there
Waiting for what it knew was already true
The bird sat there whilst knowing
She was already in the air
For she sang a sombre song
A song so strong

For it reminded her of days long gone

The bird that flew
Sang for the bird with a broken wing
For it was the wind that fuzed
The two sombre songs
And made a melody
So sweet
A symphony of sombreness
The destruction of loneliness

Because when his wing recovered
It was his heart that she mended

But now

Now they fly together
Floating in the whispering wind
Singing a duet of joy
Then Reciting A birds Symphony



WillowsWhimsies said:Caerulean Blue

my stormy skies
release their anger
trailing rain through
charcoal clouds
dark along the edges
and streaked
with a thousand shades of blue

peekaboo sunbeams
pierce the billows
blinding edges
dazzling the eye
where the rays reflect
into the caerulean blue
creating the backdrop
I see as you

shimmering lights
dancing along branches
emerald leaves
kissed by the sun
scamper playfully
on the breath of the wind
propelled by your words

the turbulent waters
reflected in my being
do not trouble you
as you tenderly
dip your fingers
below the surface
of the waves
to feel the texture
of my soul

beneath the echo
of the thunder
a mere whisper
yet clearly heard
lies the beauty
of the song that is you
caressing
and soothing
my troubled mind
echoing words
I need not articulate
to convey...
you know...


Zombie_B said:The Climax

Yes, being strong I
And those finger nails were
Lavender Smell's
On you the rose I split into

How much snow can one eat
Oysters dine
On rank tuna fish and
Crabs back into their hole's

The distance between me and it
Caused hiccups
And as for me I swam to the bottom
Without air and laid there

The weight of it throbs
In her hand
Having faith and faith is blind

Day always is and night is kind
And you
are less in the light though
your mine
and always
and always it is as it is
I am blind

The first time I saw her,
My stomach filled with butterflies,
Instantly.

Her long hair,
Her blue eyes,
Made me go crazy,
Instantly.

Everytime I see her,
She looks stunning,
and makes me jealous,
Instantly.

The Vision

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Grande]I have a vision,    
A vision with you in it,    
An invisibly visible figment.    
   
And in my vision,    
I'm wishing...    
Wishing you and I were kissing.    
   
My wishes in this vision are true,    
My visions of kissing you...    
And of you kissing me too.    
   
In my vision, I'm holding you tight,    
Kissing you under the moonlight...    
And in this moment, I feel so alive.    
   
And in my visions, I'm gazing into your eyes,    
Your eyes, more beautiful than any sunrise.  
Eyes that see the blaze in my heart rise!
 
In my vision, you are safe,    
No more tears, no more games, no more pain,    
'Cause you know these eyes, and trust this face.

I once knew a girl

I once knew a girl
Her teeth were as white as pearls
She looked at me through shimmering emeralds
This girl, she had golden locks and curls


This girl, she said she liked me.
This girl, she meant it, it was to be.
This girl, she said she’d be there.
This girl, she said, you’ll see.


I once knew a girl, this girl, she liked me, but I didn’t know why.
I had nothing, I didn’t know how, this girl, she said she’d fly.
I had no goals, no money, no leg to stand on. I was lost.
I once knew a girl, this girl would be mine, and I would be her guy.


This girl, she said she liked me.
This girl, she meant it, it was to be.
This girl, she said she’d be there.
This girl, she said, you’ll see.


I once knew a girl, this girl, spent every dime, every second of time.
Proving to me, how she’d be mine. I didn’t know why.
I wasn’t worth any of it, and I proved it.
But this girl, when I’d call, when I’d text, she’d always reply.


This girl, she said she loved me.
This girl, she meant it, it was to be.
This girl, she said she’d be there.
This girl, she said, you’ll see.


I once knew a girl, this girl, she appreciated my efforts.
This girl, she proved to be a rare treasure.
I didn’t know a good woman, from a bad one.
But I do now, and I’m a broken man, ‘cause she’s gone forever.


I once knew a girl...

Beauty in the Ballroom

T’was in the dimly lit ballroom,
in a grand palace
that my wandering eyes
were caught & mesmerized
by a heavenly beauty
sipping from her chalice

At that moment,
all others were nothing more
flickering shades
that my eyes evade
I was bewitched
caught in her allure

“M’lady” I extended my hand
“I have traveled far and wide,
would you by chance,
let me have this dance…
i’d be honored,
to swing by your side”

The end of my journey
my destiny awaits
for i have never witnessed such elegance
in all the world, nothing close to relevant
I’d give anything
if only we could dance the night away.

Why I Love You

After a month, you're still confused
you don't know why I love you
myself I place no one below
I place no one above you

well, you're the mistress of my dreams
you'll find there's pleasure in my screams
with every scratch, with every bite
you keep my soul awake at night

there's nothing that I'd rather do
than take my punishment from you
just thinking of it makes me sweat
you keep my foolish pride in check

myself I place no one below
I place no one above you
you probably think that I'm confused
but this is why I love you

you keep me in reality
but help me see my worth
you oet me nearly touch the sky
but don't let me get burned

the way you keep my beasts in check
is worthy of the most respect
you fill my days, and rule my dreams
in these dark times you are my Queen

with you behind me all the time
we'll run shit like Bonnie and Clyde
as lovers and the best of friends
we'll be together to the end

you let me nearly touch the sun
but you won't let me burn
you'll keep me in reality
and help me see my worth

all i want

all i want is nothing more
than for you to always love me
accept my flaw
tear down my walls  
with your ravens claw...
 please help me understand myself
so i can comprehend you
i want you to take me off my self
so i can connect with you...
i am fragile please dont break me
my fence too hard to penetrate  
id love for you to set me free
so i can finally concentrate
concentrate on you
and let myself go
let myself renew
break my eternal low
 so i can be with you...forever

Dime

She's so concerned about her size
but to me she's a plus
to me she's still a perfect dime
a diamond in the rough

she knows she's got those magic eyes
and those fine, ripe, delicious thighs
she's got all the right kinds of curves
I worship every inch of her

I've found my faith, she is my goddess
I even cherish all her oddness
close to her is my favorite place
'cos she's my favorite high to chase

and though she's not the average size
in my eyes that's a plus
it's clear to me that she's a dime
my diamond in the rough

Would you let me climb
under your skin
to feel all the things
that you hold within
would you let me take root
in your garden
to lay in your heart
to be golden

It is not the point
how many have dipped
into your well
of desperate dreams
it doesnt matter
how many have laid
close to your skin
the point is
would you
let one climb
under it
to feel
what one believes
within your fractured
fragmented
feelings
you shine
with all the things
that we need

January

Wintery, cold augustly sentiments blessing me with love

No! You're not done with me
Close your eyes

I never got your letters
Only your minuscule​ thoughts
Welcoming my love

And tell me

Again

"[We're] kindred spirits"

No need to tell me why
Close your eyes

Just reach out and feel your heartbeat

I have no words left from you...
I checked my phone, only a few pictures that's so far from enough

Close your eyes

There you are, I've been waiting

Let's fly beyond the boundaries of this room and tumble wielding sheets of light and music of snow

forgotten hands catch me as we fall

We'll do our part and it will be divine

I love,

     Getting caught with you in the moonshine.

Please Stay

When this world falls out of place
And the sun can only do so much
As we float deeper into space
Warm me with your love

If you give up before then
Come to me

I want to come into your world
And explore it
Every desert, every forest
Every peak, every trench
Every imperfection

Shine a light on your darkest spots
Let's discuss the battles we fought
Tell me your insecurities
And I'll warm you with empathy

I'll find the beauty
in your darkest secret
We'll keep everything between us
And seal it with a sweet kiss

You don't have to be the smartest
Just know you've got my heart

Let's forget about love
It'll come naturally
Be my friend
And play video games with me

We can watch your favorite movies
And talk until we fall asleep
Under a fort of blankets
Maybe the storm will be gone when we wake

In the meantime
If you can't fall asleep
Between the flashes of lightning
Make love to me

At the end of the song
With you wrapped in my arms
Under the stars
I will sing you a lullaby
Singing along
With the beat of your heart

If the fire stops burning
And I stop tossing and turning
Having nights of frustration
Wondering how much longer I can take it
then please stay

One

One embrace can last me forever,
Like the endeavor of a quest to find the key to your heart,
To survive the drive through a solitude of five thousand years,
And wait for the sign from my shining star.

One smile can last me a lifetime,
Like fuel to my soul that solely propels me with affinity,
A fire that inspires and empowers with the greatest intensity,
Anticipating a long awaited but brief infinity.

One glance can last me an entire age,
To engage in the everlasting race and chase the dream,
And the motivation will feed my high flying undying devotion,
A soaring emotion like no one has ever seen.

One kiss can last me an eternity,
Like the memory of endless countless nights in ecstasy,
Immersed in verses of unrehearsed discourse with purpose,
So that the universe will be filled with my fantasy.

And all I need is one.
