A love that could never be
I was at a bar
With friends
and it was karaoke night
As we sat at a table
waiting for each of our turns
I saw her walk in
She was with her sister
And they chose the table
Next to ours
I took a few glances
Then went in to make my move
I made some comment
About the music playing
highlighting how bad I am
At small talk
Luckily
she was bad at small talk to
However we seemed to both
Know a lot about music
We went on to talk about life
We spoke about our aspirations
And...

I feel you losing interest
Distance growing with
The pass of each new day
our pages turn into one words
And you continue to fade away
You barely care to speak me
So why do I even care to try
It seems like a waste of both our time
Distance growing with
The pass of each new day
our pages turn into one words
And you continue to fade away
You barely care to speak me
So why do I even care to try
It seems like a waste of both our time

Boomerang Soul
To a fellow Boomerang Soul,
Attempting to figure you out has been one my favorite on and off past times.
Around you, I’ve felt both my most real and unreal. Feeling these switches has brought me both exhilaration and existential crisis.
It’s like we are on a rollar coaster, and we go from that incredible feeling of rise and fall free-fall-flow, to that awful feeling of when its not supposed to come full stop but it does.
We never talked about this, we always just reacted accordingly.
Our glitches have taught me so much about...

Icarus
I knew (of course) what I was getting into
when I attached the feathery waxy wings
I took flight effortlessly towards the sun
I knew (of course) that wax wanes and melts when hot
and the sun, superlative eternal flame
but I desired to touch her before I died
the sun in her smiling and wide-hipped beauty
the sun, gorgeous face and glowing finery
certainly I got close and close was enough
but I embarassed the sun and she cursed me
then I apologised and she yelled at me
unconditional love withers when dismayed
...

i am Yours
I am yours
Your knight in rusty armour
I'll defend you, to a fault
My sword made of popsicles
Melt-able with salt
I am yours
If you'll have me
Dressed in scruffy clothes
Make me make an effort
Attending catwalk shows
I am yours
If you need me
Find me chores I'm
good at that
Poke me with a
Big, long stick
I'll move from
where I'm sat
I am yours
If you can stand me
You'll ring friends
Asking them to dine
They'll hear...

Raging Boner
I've got a big
Raging boner
For you
No, not you
The one
behind you
Saw you when
I came in
Stood right next
To the bin
I've got a big
Raging boner
For you
You gave me
the eye
As you ate your
Meat pie
I've got a big
Raging boner
For you
Remembered you
From before
Smacked my
head with
The door
I've got a big
Raging boner
For you
Maybe it'll
Never work ...

Futile
Why do I bother
Why do I try
When words mean nothing
And efforts fade and die
Why should I care
Why do I torment
Myself to the point of despair
Yearning for your voice in the air
Pain is my only comfort here
Destined for desolation
Love is lost in a world
Consumed by desecration
Why do I try
When words mean nothing
And efforts fade and die
Why should I care
Why do I torment
Myself to the point of despair
Yearning for your voice in the air
Pain is my only comfort here
Destined for desolation
Love is lost in a world
Consumed by desecration

I Love You
The night I knew
I'd never hear
"I love you"
again..
I closed my casket
I slept to imaginary stars
touching synthetic hearts
with frozen hands
I want you to understand
the pain that clashed
with the emptiness
of my tomb
when I yearned to say
"I love you"
You were just so warm
strong and everything
I could never keep
And though I would never dare
to let anymore affection
allow itself release beyond
these sheets..
At least I know
my secret ...
I'd never hear
"I love you"
again..
I closed my casket
I slept to imaginary stars

with frozen hands
I want you to understand

strong and everything

~~
less than a week
6 distracted days
dry eyed & hopeful
keeping myself busy
and then it snuck up
unexpected
somewhere between pouring
and lifting the cup
coffee steaming before forest eyes
I saw your face through the haze
and my vision glazed
I wanted to reach out
just to touch you
but the image splintered with the simple thought
seriously...touch what?
I wanna get it together
just move on
but I don't know where to start
how to let go of what apparently never was
okay...that's not...

New Jerusalem Pt1
Whites, golds and emeralds,
Enrobed on the throne,
Sensually captivating majesty,
My King is the theme
A dawn that never has ending
Golden wings and things
Celestial beings sing with rhyme and reasonings
The Most High's mind during the creating
A haven safe heavens
Level number 9, I find mind
Mine in awe of He, bring me back to him
The true lover of my soul
Holy Matrimony,
He calls me Eve
In the remembering of days past for all of eternity
I sing
In everlasting gardenings,
Be my life
Be my resurrection ...

The Heaviest Matter in the Universe
Love can flip your entire world upside down, with no logic and no sense. Your emotions are stirred with an unexplainable desire deep in your core you’re often left wondering, how did I come to this?
Science can explain the chemical reactions, between physical attraction and spiritual attachment, the heart doesn’t care for rationalization, it just wants.
Love has a special effect on the soul. It's tormenting when far away and it heals all wounds with a tender touch, a soft caress and the most caring kiss. Yes, love can make you do crazy things, from crossing deserts and...
