The Letter
Hello, my name is Poetry,
I'm the limbo between all emotions.
Some people find me in their lover's eyes, some in the depths of their minds and some find my name traced on the bodies of their paramours.
My purpose is to help people explore their minds farther than the confines of music, to manipulate language in a way that caters for those who are lost in lust, for those who love, and for those who are burdened by melancholy.
Some believe I can only be found in clichés such as first kisses and rainy days, but I'm everywhere, I'm in the chuckles of a baby, the warm...

The Letter I Never Sent
I'm selfish and inconsiderate, that was my thought before I wrote this.
Have you been okay?
I'm sorry we lost communication, that I'll take the blame for.
I have something to ask you.
Can we go back to the beginning?
To when we first met, to when you taught me how to love and before I ruined it.
I've been thinking about the things I done, and I can't imagine the pain I made you feel, I don't expect you to reply to this soon, its a bit too much to take in.
I can't stand seeing you getting cut by the shattered pieces of your heart that I broke.

I'll Come Back
Life has gotten a bit too fast for me, so I need to be some distance away to see a little clearer.
Darling I ain't running away,
I'm sorry I can't be right there with you, but I can't let you share my pain.
Sometimes I just wanna bring myself closer to you, to hold you and tell you why I do what I do, but I'm drowning in oceans of confusion, and you bring me that little hope that I'll make it out of this and I'll be okay.
I don't need to believe in much, I believe in you and its kept me going, through all the difficult times I knew I had to make it through

I might not say much
I might not say much about these colours, I am gray inside and the world around me is gray too.
I have an assortment of paintbrushes and I do what it takes to put colour in your world and your ever so gray heart, I might not say much about these colours but I need them too.
Your paint cans are still sealed and only you can open them, you have the colours I want in my world but why is it so difficult to give me those colours, to paint my world.
I might not say much about these colours, but I long for them too.

This heart -haiku-
This heart has deeply loved,
Pain lurks in the depth of it,
What has love truly become.

I Think
I think I want to sing for you again, just a few lines, so I can bring back that feeling that you were so in love with on that one day that I did, actually sing for you.
I want to sing you sweet melodies, send those amazing chills all over your body, and lift you off your feet with the mesmerizing sound of my baritone voice.
I think I want to kiss you, just for a couple of seconds, kiss you passionately, then we can dwell in the passion for a moment.
I want to look into your eyes just before I do, then without saying a word, steal the air you're breathing, slowly,...

You
I stay with you all night, your warm embrace always does me right, you never disappoint me and for that you've earned my trust.
You used to hide me away from fear and with your soft, gingerly touch you'd reassure me there's nothing to fear, when I'm with you I know no fear.
I think about you most of the time, and how you hold me tight in the morning and never want to let me go, but the world forcefully takes me away.
We'll be together forever, but we'll have to go through the obstacles in our way, through the ups and downs, come what may.
We're together.

Raindrop
Here's my story
I'm just another drop of rain in this storm we call life, I can only do so much for a tree, but I am overwhelming to the ant.
You see the thing about us raindrops is that we're all going down, to what exactly, we don't really know; until we actually get there.
I happened to fall on the window of the world, I am the raindrop that you watch sliding down your window to the windowpane just before that stroke of brilliance.
But it only rains so often.
I'm fine with being a raindrop, I just don't want to die on your windowpane, but how...

Only Too Willing
She's filled up and I caress her then lick her all the way down.
I present my blazing flames and she's only too willing to take them in.
She's lit and I close my eyes, bring her close my lips, take her in completely and let her own fire burn a little brighter, then let her go and she cools off.
She likes my games and the cloud of our doings hangs in the air above us.
I open my eyes to realize a presence that also wants her like she needs him, I pass her and when he gets to his hands, he doesn't hesitate to kiss her, a long kiss bringing her desire closer.

The Blades in My Words
What do these words mean to you, thrown around and trampled on by everyone, why do you still hold on to these words.
Don't be afraid of feeling pain, its only fair that everyone goes through pain at some point, or else we'd just be running away from something we don't know.
So I'll tell you the truth, I'll tell you the things that you thought you wanted you to hear, the blades in my words will cut deep, but don't be afraid of pain.
Where do these words belong.
When there is no one to say them to anymore.
When fires burn dimly and the breezes turn into...

I'll Still
I'll still write.
I'll still see what they create when they've stopped falling into each other, a combination of darkness and the lighter things.
I'll still love.
Like its only now, tomorrow is out of reach and yesterday is a disguise of the confusion and pain I took.
I'll still wonder.
About the days when the air was filled with silence.
I'll still write.
About everything that was, everything that is, and everything that will be.
I'll still see what they create when they've stopped falling into each other, a combination of darkness and the lighter things.
I'll still love.

The Sky Is Not Our Home
Let's run away right now, let's jump into the sky and fly away tonight.
Let's go into darkness and cast our own light with the future that we planned together.
Take my hand and glide with me in these dark skies as we fall to the earth because we don't belong to the sky, we fought against gravity but we could never win, it was just a lie.
Look into my starry eyes and see the constellations shining brightly.
Come with me to a place we don't know yet, a place where our minds can be at rest, where we can sit in silence but our presences exclaim with jubilation to...
