Many fall in love without
presence of mind.
They repeat the mod cliché
that love is blind...
But sensible matchmaking
chooses more feasible soulmates.
Kids need adult supervision
in the matter of dates.
Love is a very special emotion
that causes much commotion
in the heart and soul,
where it has a big role.
Love's possible anytime, anywhere,
and many are caught by it unawares.
But don't let love be just a stupor
from which you wake up in horror.
Don't let love be a one night stand drink
from which you get a hangover.
Committed Love shouldn't be a fad or spell
from which you just get over...
When young minds play their own cupid
To many that has brought heartache and sorrow.
Underage kids dating is even more stupid
They usually regret on the morrow.
Reason doesn't work in a fit of passion.
So its best to love with
your mind and consultation.
Having love affairs without deliberation
is harmful fashion.
Head over heels
without discussion,
with well-wishers
may cause concussion
headache
of so-called lovers...
Use your head before your heart
Not every spark
should start a fire....
His gaze over me
From behind, makes me
To have butterflies
I can’t control how it feels.
It’s coming back again
Even when I’m chosen, I feel stupid.
Nothing can save me now
There’s better out there.
You can call me the best
And say it so much to make me believe it.
But unless you remove my gray matter
It will never be true.
This will linger until I stop breathing
Whether that is near or far.
When everything is perfect on her front
I don’t think my details matter.
Because she could be so unbelievably horrid inside
It wouldn’t matter when she can cover it with a pretty face.
I have nothing to cover my flaws with
Don’t say I’m all that matters.
If you’re cooking
I will do the dishes
If it’s the last thing I do
Because you’ll fight me
Kick me out of my own kitchen
Giggling like kids again
I’ll do the dishes
If you cook for me
I’ll curl up in my corner with a book
While you’re on shift
And smile when you come back
And you will – come back
To me
And my kitchen
Stick on that one song
'Bout the young kids in love
From way back when
The times when we laughed
Cried-bickered-danced-cared
The point in life when we decided
You’ll be the one cooking
And I’d go get my degree
You’d go off to be a hero
And I’d wait in the chair you built me
That rocks just a touch
Enough to swing a tad
A smile cracks as you stare at the sight
I turn the page
You still there staring
I feel your gaze
But I let you stand there
Knowing eventually you’ll turn
Towards the kitchen
Just to yell
“What you want for dinner?”
“What I want is to do the damn dishes tonight"
You may not remember this exact moment
Nor remember the reason we’re here
The music that was playing
The smiles and laughs of friends near and dear
Or even gently tucking my hair behind my ear
But tonight under the fall night sky
I wont let this moment fall away
Because were here on this ferris wheel
And you are mine, and I am yours
I owe you an apology I thought I hated you for leaving me behind.
but the truth is I hate myself for falling for you.
I didn't realize that I what I was doing was considered harassment.
I'm sorry that I got a little to attached to you.
I'm am truly sorry I never ment for things to go as far as they did.
now I see you in my dreams you ask me what kind of dreams.
I tell you some are the same and others are normal.
the truth is the dreams with you in them is something we never had true love.
I've seen what could of been and tried to warp that into reality
but it was just a dream that wont come true and I see that now
I'm sorry if you ever felt peer pressured into anything
we agreed to go our different way just know I wish you the best of luck
is crazy to think we got this far
you could of reported me for harassment but you didn't
you say you call me dork as a sing that you care
if you care then why cant we just be friends?
I'm trying to see it though your eyes and perspective but i cant
I'm letting go without letting go
so good bye till we meet again Ed
A simple sound, your voice, my day’s delight,
It cuts the noise, and makes the whole world right.
A word from you, a simple text or two,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do,
Just to keep this rhythm, sweet and low,
A gentle garden where my feelings grow.
That smile you have, a sudden, burning light,
It’s so damn hot, it brightens up the night.
It makes me happy just to watch it bloom,
Chasing all the shadow from the room.
And seeing your face, a sight I can’t forget,
The best view that my eyes have ever met.
You make me happy, this is plain to see,
But oh, my love, you have no clue what you mean to me.
The "like" I say is just the surface shade,
A tiny marker of the choice I made.
My love runs deeper than the ocean floor,
With every single day, I love you more.
I told you once, a promise strong and true,
That I would wait, my darling, just for you.
Until you're ready, I will hold the line,
Patiently waiting for the day you might be mine.
My heart is yours, the key is in your hand,
I’ll wait forever, you must understand.
I told my guitar about you,
she played so beautiful melodies like never before.
I talked about you to my notebook,
it wrote the best poems it ever could.
At night I looked up at the sky thinking of you and suddenly the world went quiet,
the moon and the stars shined brighter and I begged them to shine for you too.
The flowers who heard my stories bloomed
like you were their spring and summer with all their love for you.
And my question is the simplest from all:
Did you bring light into my eyes,
or just created the best life of all the lifes?
In that sweet spring of our beginning, did a deeper truth begin,
A light we thought eternal, but did those dark shadows creep?
Did the promise whispered then, where does its echo sleep,
When your eyes were , once fixed on mine, now turns and looks within?
Was the cold close of our story written in the air?
Do the vows we spoke still haunt the quiet evening breeze,
Or have they scattered, like dead leaves from the trees?
Is every memory now a burden you must bear?
Tell me, when you look forward, is my face already blurred?
Does the silence where my voice was, bring you any pain?
Is forgetting me a task you try to attain?
My love, my love, by whom is your new path sketched?
Must I watch the future claim you, wholly and apart?
Will the thoughts we shared never touch your heart?
Oh, tell me, will you ever come back to where we start?
Beauty
One
From
The time
Of wonder
Beauty within
Faded in realm
Gone with you taken my
Love of life with beauty
Beauty of soul no matter
That was the matter of soul and body
Never go there.
Where dark has captured daylight.
Never go there.
Where there is no singing of birds.
Never go there.
Where there is no pulse of the heart.
Never go there.
Where there are not any interactions of love.
Go there, where there is much daylight.
Where it is filled with songs of birds.
Any kind of songs of the world.
A melodious song can bring happiness in love.
And can relieve the boringness of life.
Go there, where it is filled with intimacy.
We fell in love and married young,
others said we couldn’t know.
Who else could truly know my heart,
or which way I should go?
We all must choose the path to walk,
and how we’ll live each day.
It makes no difference the choice we make,
if we take God along our way.
All our challenges will be lessons learned,
he can make it a perfect day.
Others may snicker and laugh at us,
it doesn’t matter what they may say.
God teaches us through every test,
and after struggles He gives us rest.
I'll run again at 20
If that's what you want
I can play in the rain on the asphalt
Without the soothing petrichor
If 20 minutes without your shadow ever existed
I'll cry my eyes out
Then laugh again
No longer able to use metaphors
In romantic stories
Sarcastic erases so much
Let's breathe a sigh of relief
We're no longer at the end of the road
But truly at the end
Not waving in a single word
Turning back into isolation
You were gazing at me as I looked in your direction
You, caught in daydream's reflection
Both of us wondering if we've made a connection
As you stand with your friends by your locker
As both of us are caught up in this moment
Both wondering if the other one knows it
Both wondering if the other will show it
Having our love listed on the docket
You writing our names on your notebook
In a heart our names, in your mind nuptials took
Me stealing your heart like some kind of crook
As you lean back on your book nook
I saunter over, parting your friends
I fumble for words, my heart beats intense
I manage to muster these words in defense
"You've captivated my heart with just a look!"
I felt very distant from you,
But I couldn't be remote from you,
Why? I don't know
But this is not comfortable.
But also seeing someone else
Watching you, crushing on you,
I feel jealous, but I shouldn't.
But now, you are in my life,
I can't change it.
I tried to stop talking to you, but couldn't.
Even if I understand you, I am perplexed.
You seem familiar, even if you are an unfamiliar person.
The world serves no purpose for me.
Your name is what gets me going.
Even if you lie, it feels like the truth.
But it just shouldn't, I am denying this feeling.
I want and need to get over you.
But is it the right thing to do?
