Shall I Compare Thee To an Elephant?
Shall I compare thee to an elephant?
Thou art a thousand times more relevant.
'Tis not from floppy ear doth ardor rise,
Nor yet shall sinuous trunk knot love’s sweet ties;
And if thou can’t stampede across the plains,
Nor deftly roll in mud when monsoon rains,
I find my heart shall hold here little lack,
As pachyderm thou aren’t in love’s

I can't compare
I hold my heart behind locked doors,
Worn and bruised from love before.
Each scar it bears, a whispered name,
Each beat a flicker wrapped in flame.
I’ve stitched this heart too many times,
With trembling hands and fraying lines,
Each patch a whisper from the past,
Each crack a vow that didn’t last.
I’ve stood in storms with open chest,
Hoping love would

Wonders Bright
Life is full of wonders bright,
Receive its gifts, take in the light.
No matter how small, don’t look away,
For little things grow in a mighty way.
Let’s not waste our time in regret,
Nor dwell on things we can't reset.
The past is gone, the future calls,
So stand firm, fight - don’t let it stall.
His Crown of thorns, His

A Love Beyond Compare
Words By: Melancholy Of Innocence
A place where love awakens with silent truth un-binding
A breath a speechless word whispered by an eye's caress
anchored deep within inside my naked soul's undress.
Here lies the force of my love, in truth I must confess,
I am a butterfly in flight, a rose drenched in

Poles Apart
Polar bear at the north pole,
floating on a lone ice floe,
thinks to himself,
'What happened to my world,
where did all the ice go?'
If to the south pole he did depart,
penguins to compare,
would he then be,
a well-traveled
bipolar bear?

Cells Melt
Blood rushes behind my eyes. Ocean waves
crash as I turn my head, tilting to get a better
view of you. But that’s impossible, isn’t it? No
view is adequate. How should one look at David?
My lips are dry. I’m fainting, surely. Cells melt
and mix, transfixed as you walk by. Unknowing.

Shall I Compare You
Shall I Compare You... ?
Shall I compare you to the sun?
Shining and warm, my dearest one
Shall I compare you to the moon?
Unique and bright, my greatest boon
Shall I compare you to the light?
Illuminating what not of sight
Shall I compare you to the knight?
in honour and dignity willing to fight
Shall I compare you to the Queen?
Admiring

Compare Thee To A Summer's day
Compare thee to a summer’s day?
No, my dear, you are a goddess of dismay.
You are the bane of my heart, for you own it completely.
You control my mind without a single effort, and for that you are my enemy.
Thou art lovely and temperate?
No, you are imperfect and cold

Don't Compare
Don't compare,
Your path is rare,
Don't ever compare,
With others out there.
It leaves you lost somewhere,
In between what you have seen,
And who you are being.

Nature's Beauty Beyond Compare
Nature's beauty
Is making me forget
How much I can't stand ants
The flowers by the wayside
Got my curiosity and attention
The sound of the water is so calming
That running under the bridge
A peaceful river flows through an autumn
Landscape, with golden leaves
I love the color of the surrounding
I love this beautiful trail

Love Beyond Compare
John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:”
~~~~~~~~
Gentle, like the bird
Whose song is soft as the sigh,
Between hopes and dreams,
Lasting through silence,
Who believes in the promises,
Faded between pages,
Grace like the music stored up,
Beneath the words, verses,
Visions so
