Finding my High
You know what im talking about
wandering about in a bout
of directionless energy
searching
scratching
grabbing onto anything that looks like it will fill the hole in my soul
burying myself in books
words protect me from facing the world
i dont have to look
i look into the realm of other worlds
instead
i cover my self, my body
"dress to impress" they said
impressions are all i live for
you desire perfection from me
you require it
or so i think
i live for the compliments
for the acknowledgement ...

Looking For A High
i am looking for my high
i search high and low
for that elixir of happiness, joy, pure bliss
i crave what i imagine i can taste already
freedom!
i want to scream to release my pent up desire within me
i want the sensation
of guilt-free splurging, exuberant spending
of care-less laughter
pain-less somersaulting
risk-free falling in love
orgasms without heart break, without expectation, commitment, dissappointment.
a high-five
hi im alive!
see me?
recognise me
aknowledge me
my greatness, awesomeness
me...

My Escape
You are my escape
Your warm embrace
is my fortress
Glory to your name
You save sinners and
you set their souls free
You hide us well
under your wings
We are sheltered yeah
from the storm that rages on
We are found in here
Your presence is our embrace
Your warm embrace
is my fortress
Glory to your name
You save sinners and
you set their souls free
You hide us well
under your wings
We are sheltered yeah
from the storm that rages on
We are found in here
Your presence is our embrace

Muse (Heartbeat)
He was big. Of giant proportions. Well, maybe just because she was short and petite so that everything and everybody else seemed much bigger from her perspective. She suspected that he was at least 1.7-1.75 meters tall, whereas she was a mere 1.52 meters ( she had measured herself a year ago and was certain that she had not gained a millimeter).
He was incredibly tall and sensually dark, so naturally she had fallen for him, although he wasn't so handsome. In fact some could argue that he was point blank ugly. But beauty had never been too important to her when it came to love. She...

Like the East loves the West
I love you like the East loves the West.
they might be half the world apart but she still sends the sun on a day's journey away to tell him she's thinking of him.
I dont do it all the time. i dont know how to. i dont have the sun to give to you, nor the moon and stars. all i have are floppy words bouncing on pages, hoping to pour to you how much i adore you, then suddenly feeling they're inadequate and tearing them up before they reach you. im sorry. all i have are my stories, badly written, badly told, but eager to be heard by you. lOL,...i was trying to be poetic but i can't reach...

we lived
we lived like we had every moment to spare,
daring to forget that it would be over soon,
and yet we lived fully, filling every moment with all we had.
and when i miss you i regret nothing cause
i know i loved you fully.
and now we out there God-sent to fulfill dreams bigger than our worlds
and to shine brighter than our stars.
daring to forget that it would be over soon,
and yet we lived fully, filling every moment with all we had.
and when i miss you i regret nothing cause
i know i loved you fully.
and now we out there God-sent to fulfill dreams bigger than our worlds

to the girl i kissed but wont talk to anymore
These are the moments we dont talk about, we're afraid to desecrate them.
we wear our truth away from our sleeves, hide how we feel and just how much we want each other,
how we want to go back to that moment we wont mention.
we dont say it but when we're alone with noone to see we think it.
we torture ourselves with the knowledge that if we'de just let things be we'd be enjoying being free.
i wont lie and wont hide, it is you i desire.
your desire for me is what i desire.
i want to be wanted by you.
i want to be held in the energy of your...

your name
your name burns a fire in my chest.
the sight and sound of your name unsettles me
like a stone thrown among a flock of pigeons
my nerves flutter from deep in my heart to sharp
tingles at the tips of my fingers
i shudder, struggle to catch my breath cause
the sound of your name brings me memories i
cannot forget.
your name invokes feelings in me as real as the
smell of you in the air just from the memory in my head
and i can still hear you whisper your strange, beautiful
language to me like it was a second ago
your name is torture to my ears...

Getting back
She stood outside the double doors of his residence. the chilly wind blew around her as though it wasn’t the end of August but the middle of June. The doors were closed and she couldn’t get in without someone to sign her in. whose visitor would she be the security guard would ask her, mocking and suggestive. RT didn’t know that she was downstairs, waiting awkwardly to ask any random boy to sign her in- she would find her way to his room once inside, or to at least call him out for her. Her heart was beating fast in anxiety, was she doing the right thing, being here? After all they hadn’t...

Sometimes i wonder
Sometimes I wonder if I’m ‘strong’ enough to proclaim Your name.
If I’m sanctified enough to courageously lay claim on you. If I know you enough to claim your attributes. If I’m good enough to be believable. But I feel this pull in my heart. This thing that say shout your name. that which wants to know God and all that there is to him. I feel this great pull to be yours and you mine. I can’t explain it. I’m drawn to your word. I’m excited to discover what it says, about you, about me, about how we fit inextricably into each other. I’m so excited. But I’m also plagued with fear, doubt...
