To be loved,
Is to be confused.
It’s receiving roses without thorns,
And looks without scorn.
The feeling of melting in someone’s arms,
While being unarmed.
It’s being afraid of the dark,
But knowing the moon shines afar.
The wind that brushes hair from your face,
Making your life suffice.
The moth that’s usually drawn to the flame,
Waits by the porch light to hear you say its name.
The glitter on the floor you can’t get rid of,
The thread in the cloth that you stitch.
The one you get to keep secret,
Safely tucked away in your pocket.
Even if their mention never leaves your tongue,
They still make you think you’re enough.
Because they’re job is to confuse you,
And to never leave you.
Because even after they’re gone,
They still linger on.
In the perfume that they wear,
And in the roses that they share.
Windowlight
(Lanterne poem)
Hope
You gleam
In my dark
Like a dream so bright

My Friend
(Cinquan Poem)
My friend,
No need for masks,
Our laughter wears no face.
Between us stands no hunger,
Just
Truth shared
A close mouth catches no flies, but an open heart finds home.
As i bestow my eyes into your darkest sincerest eyes,
I feel calmness overtake my body,
As If I was looking into the night sea where the waves and shore are at peace and the moon glistens over,
And the soothing sound of your voice calming one another,
and the warmth of being in your brace keeping me at peace,
I feel as if i were to be home and covered with a blanket.
I would die for you
Please take me in your arms and gently soothe me
Let me caress your angelic face, let me embrace your soft traits
Put me to sleep with your calming tone
My god you are as sweet as honey
So take me, hide me from this ugly world
Help me fall as asleep, kiss me
Softly place your hand on my head like I'm your loyal
I want you, please just let me love you
I can't live without you
I can't be like this I need you to fix me
I want to be as perfect as you please dont leave me
I beg you to help me
I beg you to set me free
I love you, more than anything
I love you, please love me I beg
Oh, noble soul, thy beauty shines so bright
A radiant star, that guides me through life's night
In thy companionship, I find my peaceful nest
A haven of friendship, where my heart can rest
Thy mind, a treasure trove, of wisdom and of grace
A fountain of inspiration, that does fill my space
Thy heart, a sanctuary, of kindness and of light
A refuge from life's storms, where I can take flight
Together we explore, the realms of thought and art
Our conversations, a sweet harmony that does never depart
In thy embrace, I find a love that's pure and true
A platonic bond, that forever shall renew
Oh, dear friend, thou art a blessing to my life
A precious gift, that does my soul enrich and rife
May our friendship forever flourish and grow
A platonic love, that forever shall glow.
I say, it's platonic love
And then I miss your smile
And then I miss your touch
And then I miss your presence
I shout, it's platonic love!
And then I wait by the phone
And then I stare at your face
And then I break from your gaze
I question, it's platonic love?
But what if it isn't?
I say, it's platonic love
But my heart doesn't believe it
Did not wish to love another,
To turn on this brother,
Platonic now, or lover,
Thinking of him under cover,
Should I hurl fat bloomers,
Passing by, his zoomers,
Each has a fantasy,
Would joyboy love old me?
He smiles and waves,.
Blows kisses I save,
Time takes care of stuff,
Can't love him enough,
So unexpectedly,
Open-ended booty!
Our platonic love
Love. What is that? Love or love? Between? Between us?
Or between God and a sinner? Love kids, feel hearts
Hmm, maybe I am a suffering companion of platonic love
Yes, maybe no. But real my love. Real is my only love; bye
I loved this woman, a warehouse worker loved an arrogant...
… an arrogant heart, a life, a life, but she didn’t need lives.
I loved this arrogant English woman, hmm, my heart is broken, dark
There is no light, dark caress on my face and in my soul; Love?
Please, you are a memory in my life, but understand me, like
I am yours, just find my life, and our lives, they are in the sky
Platonic love, you are in the cloud of my mind, loving an airy heart
Yours, all the emotions are yours, and I understand you, this is sure
Vilmos
Schoolmistress, I loved you
I was fourteen and sixteen, in school, and I loved you; love
In beautiful city, the school, you are a diamond in my heart; love
Yes, I will never forget your airy walk, your fluttering skirt; love
Amazing sexy lady, oh, your skirt always in my heart; so loved
I loved you, you killed me, destroyed my life, oh respected love
I needed you, I hope you, but you are far, still, love is yours; love
My dear teacher, hmm, time is time, the present is not our life; love
Remember, remember me, please. Coming always the time; love
I loved you
1987
is so far
passed
times
I love you
my schoolmistress
Vilmos
Love you
Do you want to destroy my life?
To my platonic linguist
Forget me, please, but I loved you, hmm, far memories
Someone needed your help with a science, it is yours
Yes, my platonic English linguist, I forgot you, loved you
You are so selfish, but my life and love needed you; loved
I needed to accept your soul, oh rich and egoist soul, my love
English woman, someone asked you, and he is far from you
I loved you
Nedded ask
Your hand
I am far
In Wembley
You are in Watford
A heart
Loved
Loved
You
Vilmos
There's no doubt
you found out
the many affairs I hid
in a slick way...
they are exposed
and can't be ignored
they surely hurt!
Ah! Platonic feelings do much harm,
they don't wake us up with an alarm;
sweet are the adventures we pursue,
we won't stop 'till reality makes us blue!
I can't stand jealous eyes
when they stare so angrily;
nothing I do can stop them now:
so sorry that my commitment failed,
so fake were the words I whispered!
I betrayed the one I adored madly,
nothing I say can change tomorrow,
I have to pay and go away!
Time is passing slowly,
I gave up on true love for folly,
joy is not real happiness,
it doesn't last an eternity;
it's not found in strangers arms:
it's an escape for cheating hearts!
Do you have a wish for yourself?
Do you long for devotion and honesty?
Then, give up all platonic feelings
that do much harm constantly;
how lonely is the one who stares
at your charming picture on the shelf!
When I saw her first here, I fell in love with her like a shot
She is an idealistically beautiful, impressive phenomenon
She is the dream, but in reality, memorable visual moments
I need her, I need one of them…, I have few mistress friends
This lady is an extraordinarily and idealistically magical person
She is one of my most important inspirations, this is a true love
Platonic Mistress, you are my muse, an unattainable flower
A flower, a noble and a patinated lady, who always blooms
I locked you in my heart, I kneel before your throne. Love you
To eighty-eight keys, I was first introduced
With eighty-eight keys, my ears were seduced
But greetings started with just eight
The other eighty had to wait
Some years passed, I got to know better
The keys that were notes and their letters
Do to Sol is C, D, E, F, G
La, Ti is A, B, then back to C
Simple Do Re Mi's turned to complex Do Mi Sol's
Intervals became larger though my hands are small
Frustration came from a piece for recital
Proper skill and technique became so vital
To eighty-eight keys, I was first introduced
With eighty-eight keys, my ears were seduced
The other eighty which then had to wait
Now take part in the music that I create
They say people come and go
But I hope you stay
Through all the winters and summers yet to come
Until every strand of my hair has turned grey,
Until I lose the last of my memory.
Will you stay?
To watch the sun rise and set,
To stay up till midnight for every New Year's eve.
Will you stay with me till all the tides
of the sea subsides?
To celebrate each year of our diminishing youth
But our love that still remains and grows
Like the roots of an ancient tree
With the unvarying likeness of Cyclamen flowers.
Will you stay with me until everything disappears?
love with love flirts
feel bliss spurting
exert no more
