Poet Introduction
Ella Neftali, Lifes a beautiful struggle.
Burning of the Soul
I lept from my seat in the hopes you would notice me.
In the hopes I would drown in your sea of dreams, freeing me.
Being weighed down by a heart full of balled fist and tied tongues, I danced with myself, as I fell like sediments of the soul.
I just want to be whole again. But life is a puzzle that is always broken.
Pieces disappear, some are purposely hidden, others just never make sense.
So most of us just lie there swimming in our memories.
Feeling the loneliness of our hearts as our thoughts consume us with appetites that will never be filled.

love letter
Kiss me and tell me you can taste all the words that I never had the courage to say.
Tiptoe behind my frail soul and whisper in my ear your fondest memories.
Grab my hand and remind my bruised and shattered heart that love still exist.
Dip your pen into my blessings and write me out a love letter.
With paper to lips and lips to paper, seal it with a kiss, so I'm reminded every day that my heart remains in a safe place.
Hug me from behind and I will show you what love can do.
I will write you into sunsets. Whisper you into star dust. Love you into...

Future in the past tense.
Lately I've been wanting listen to my favorite jr high sound track, while slow dancing with you..., with your body so close to mine yet so far away that inches feel like miles. And those miles build up so much tension that our bodies collide exploding like fire works on the 4th.
I just want to be close to you, holding you, showing you how real men love with no limitations or restrictions. I would be good to you. Like Adam Sandler in the wedding singer, I would grow old with you, watching as your hair fades to the color of silver. In my eyes you would become more valuable by the day....

The Night I Fell in Love.
The room is dimly lit like the evening sun, complimenting the forest of Chardonnay bottles scattered across the kitchen counter tops. "Don't let me down" is played over and over as the Beatles flutter their way into the back of my head.
The kitchen table show signs of a reckless night with empty wine glasses painting the scene the color of lost desire. I sit across from a gravitational force that is simplistically alluring with just a pair of eyes. I stare at seductive pools, cascading jet black hair and a smile that is so warm and welcoming that it reminds me of a...

Dreamt (Dads dream)
I seen you last night in a dream.
I studied my surrounds and saw that everyone was smiling around you.
I held my hands to the sky with confusion, yet I was relieved to see you're face.
It brought more comfort to my heart than any four letter word uttered underneath the heaviness of ones breath.
I was staring deeply in your eyes. Told you had never actually died, we had all lived a lie that seemed to unfold like a napkin in the wind that you had wiped your tears with.
I felt the sun rise.
I felt the moon hang over our heads.
You stood there bald, smiling with...
