SUNRISE
SUNSET
somewhere in between we met ~
now I shine
each day I become more yours ~
you more mine
TRAVEL STREETS
WALK PATHS
maps ciphered by couple math ~
sum achieve
gently we strongly hold dreams ~
we believe
AWAKE
SLEEPING
love knows, alert or dreaming ~
conscious hearts ~
doubts never cloud or shadow~
snuggled smarts
JOY
PAIN
our merged smiles ever sustain ~
closeness grows
all that threatens grows our bond -
full tilt shows
DAYS
YEARS
time gifted more than it flew ~
days fulfilled ~
when earth fades to phase us home ~
we’ll love still
Clinging on to something that's
been gone for so long
Grasping at straws
Just to feel that feeling
that was once so strong
How much longer will we hold on
Until we realize there's no way
to right our wrongs?
Wanting so badly to just go back
to before we let our insecurities
& fears define how we'd act
A love & passion so consuming
it felt like magic
Now we both sit in silence,
knowing this is more than tragic
It hurts hearing your thoughts
that you're no longer positive
that we'll forever last
Trying to get number &
number with every shot & blast
....but the high never lasts
Here comes the comedown
when our ego's ALWAYS clash
Kuz we're stuck, stagnant
in our ed up past
I just wana move forward & grow, like we both know
is the direction we needa go
Our love is too REAL
& too captivating
to try not to really feel
This is tha real deal
..so what's our fckn deal?
Its like...
we legit got no more time to steal
I know shtts been rough
but we got this Babe
I can tell you got doubts
But you're still ALL I crave
Strung out & tired
Both way past insane
We know what we gotta do
N still haven't changed
Both got some genius level brains
Knowing together that we can create
some unfathomable, magical
-cloud 9 type-a cascade
Kinda seeming like we
both still afraid
to drop our guards 100% down
and let our souls pervade
Intertwined so deeply
like we were meant to obtain
Been way past delayed
Stuck in an entirely unnecessary
Overstayed masquerade
But
We both know
...We got this babe
Every binge keeps getting longer
The emptiness growing stronger & stronger
Her only wish is that you never wrong her
Fighting to hold on to a dream
we never could've imagined was real
Grasping onto the only thing
that ever made us really feel
Knowing this was truely the real deal
....Confused...
hating & loving our past
Wishing with everything we have
that what we created together will last
Playing tug of war with the ecstasy & pain
knowing deep down forgiveness is
the only chance to gain
N still refusing to just let our past mistakes go
Destroying what we searched for for so long...
our only real home
Js the thought of being alone
Rips & tears at our already damaged souls
All the sorrows and pain
Is this how this one end
The lies of valley of flowers
It slowly becomes more sorrower
When you come to my cremation
You will love me a little more deeper
The light will poke your eyes
When you can't see me in those highs
The mountains we love
Has many things to say
Will you be able to breathe
After realising I have left for your good deed
Your heart will beat for a moment
Rejoicing the memories we made in no time
If you are sad look to the moon
If it can be alone so you can
The softness of cloud you love in my hand
Will you be ever to see those clouds again
When you realise the connection
You can come coz my heart for you is always open
Maybe we can meet in heaven
And fulfill the dream of living together on mountain..
Words thrown like daggers
piercing my soul
When you were sent into my life,
I was sure it was to make me feel whole
the emptiness I'd always known,
had started to slowly fade
feeling our energies flow so deep and strong,
making our bond grow everyday
theres no way this can be wrong
I fell more and more in love with you with every word you'd say
believing you spoke from the heart
truly convinced that I found my other part
loneliness disappeared
the closer we continued to get
Finally feeling that our one of a kind vibes
were no doubt 100% legit
but when the doubts began to hit
And the anger was the only emotion that I'd get
you were blinded by the hatred that built up
It was the only emotion your soul could emit
always wondering when the day would come
where you decided the only decision was to run
leaving the ghost of our love far in the past
and forgetting every promise you made
That we'd last
Sweetling,
the ground is steady here
come, stand beside me
let the world shift and tremble;
still, we remain.
We are unshaken.
My Dream,
the space is small,
yet dreams unfold,
and no walls confine us.
let us build wonders to the horizon
and monuments that kiss the sky.
Our story never ends.
My Heart,
the shadows stir with monsters lurking
but they cannot reach us.
Here, we are untouchable,
protected by belonging.
Hold my hand,
and the darkness cannot take us.
We cast the dark away.
My Star,
a roaring flame burns bright between us
it never flickers nor will it wane,
in its glow, we are immortal,
and kept warm for all our days.
Let it light the way.
My Love,
this is our place, our safe harbour,
uncharted and unspoiled, our love the only port.
we build it within the folds of time,
a space where we are safe,
a place where we are whole.
Close your eyes, we are home.
I know my World,
Perhaps not your own.
Never will I assume we are in the same planet.
Though I know we are on Earth,
But, you may be a Queen of Mecury,
And I may be a little princess of Venus.
Hence, I am rewinding my steps.
Take enough oxygen,
I want you to breathe.
I sure know that a fish CAN'T breath out of water
Nor could a bird swim under water.
But, tell you what
I am that fish and i'm still learning
how to catch my breathe iin a foreign land.
I am no PRO in the game,
And this should put you at ease.
They say time flies,
But I say no need to rush.
One step at a time.
In my heart I know,
This is what you want.
And it is what I want too.
I wanna know you behind the shades,
Under the rain,
I wanna know you happy or sad
I wanna see you diving in and out of mud puzzles
And perhaps give you a hand if you need it.
I wanna see you in Clifton beach glittered with a smile,
And I wanna be the reason behind it.
I wanna have a gulp of your creamy cup,
And I want you to have a refill from mine if you wanna
In extra-ordinary skies
Like celestial bodies we clashed,
Matter merged, energy unleashed.
In each one's heart a home we've found.
Forever bound, our hearts resound.
A clash of two beautiful galaxies,
Glittering diamonds swirling infinite light.
With a gravitational pull,
Through distance and time.
Cataclysmic waves in harmony.
Where turbulent depths met tranquil release.
I've heard her say "you are my Gold"
I only hope she knows that
She is a Goldmine herself.
I Can't trade her for anything in the world,
For, nothing equates the value I see in her.
I've heard fate's gentle whisper
"you are meant to be"
In echoes of eternity.
A symphony of our oneness envisioned.
As the time stands still,
Until our hands touch,
And our eyes meet.
A kick of an electric spark,
Of our love so Strong expands.
A soul holding cosmic fire,
I am fortified,
With the beauty beyond.
This is a love story, yet to be told,
A Kaleidoscope of moments to hold.
Imperfect true love.
Inglorious vesture robe.
Spirit realm -your home.
Silently yearning for the heart I've chosen for love to ignite.
With his lips upon mine with the sweet strawberries soft and warm.
I embark a moonlight flight; cloudburst wakes me from a sweet dream.
your kiss
my bliss
your touch
I clutch
your voice
my choice
your arms
and charms
each day
so gay
ever
never
to decay
I pray
Me without You,
You without heart,
Heart without soul
Are nothing but dust
Have your wounds begun to pachyntic?
I can hardly feel mine anymore,
bathe in my sin
let me wash you with my skin,
shall I dedicate my breath to thee?
Your tattoo sleeve glicening in this heat,
don't you realize?
These mountains;
they speak to me
my body lays between them,
water gushing below my feet
I planted those lillies for you,
I'm plagued with a fever
the one you're familiar with,
I see your name written in ink;
I delenda the words,
but in my mind they're on repeat
cantilatting to a forever song
catch a glimpse of my heart;
my lungs too, are inaling you,
you make me feel panurgic
your hand will never be free;
from holding mine,
that's how the universe planned it
and that's how it will be,
I'm lost within you,
don't ever let me be found
ignore the missing reports
just let me read you sweet poetry,
something to pass the time
something to help us sleep.
Hot air causes me to sweat
Stress causes me to cry
There’s nowhere to hide from my emotions
But I still try
Food hates me
Weight loss deteriorates me
They ask me what’s wrong but I have no answer
Confusion and anger cloud my judgement
I want to move forward but I have no legs
Life moves around me as I stay stagnant
Regret from past future and present chain me to the floor
And when I look for understanding there is no more
I search for my purpose to no avail
I work so hard only to fail
I pick up my pencil and I cannot focus
I use my words but I cannot speak
Loneliness in a crowd of people keeps me quiet
So many emotions and I just wanna hide it
How do you handle loving a lover who’s heart is your no more?
How do you stand when you want to fall on the floor?
I try to be strong and just have patience
But my patience is breaking me to the core
My desperation for love is my demise
I swim in a sea of whys
I suffocate waiting for true love to find me
I just wait for true love to try me
