"In this moment I'm sad to say,
Sad to say I can't be with you today.

Nonetheless you're in my heart,
In my heart like we're never apart.

I in you and you in me,
I'm in this for the long haul, baby you will see.

See my passion & see my heart,
See how I'll show you, you're forever in my heart.

But thats not enough, and this I understand,
Because the way you think weighs in on making me your man.

Thoughts become who we are, that's why I am you. I hope you're me, and not just too.

Lastly my soul, for I am willing to give.
Give you all of me baby, because that's what a relationship is."
This was my first try at poetry, to my girlfriend on Valentines day.

You came, you greeted, you went away
That's how the way that you to stay
For those the words that slipped away
Please have another night to stay

You smiled, you blinked, you walked away
That's how the way that you to play
For those the pains please fly away
Fool me fool me of come what may

You came, you greeted, you went away
That's how you leave to faraway
For those feelings I never say
I always wish they stay this way

You smiled, you blinked, you walked away
That's how you do things always way
For those the hearts I spent away
Will do I keep forever way

If I met you
Twelve years from past
You might in school
With your first crush

If I met you
Nine years back then
You might in prom
With your first dance

If I met you
Six year 'fore now
You might have found
Partner in life

If I met you
Three years at once
You might be the one
Always broke me down

If I met you*
Not by this time
You wouldn't realise
You had me as your one

Kids running amuck in the streets,
burning lamps glistening to life with buzzes and beats.

Wonder and awe floats through their eyes,
a life of possibility calling loud and raw and they don't realize.

No vice infecting their dream,
no skewed perceptions morphing life into schemes.

Until they awaken one morning and gasp one deep breath,
and suddenly realize their childhood has finally left.
Alone and afraid.
Broken and lost.
She falls on her face
in the dust.
And then she hears His Voice.
Calling.
Calling to her.
To come and rest.
To come and trust.
She lifts up her eyes from the dust.
She whispers His name, "Jesus."
He comes to her in the dark.
He speaks to her out of a burning bush.
She wrestles with Him each night in the dark...
"I will not let You go until You bless me."
Every anchor has been removed,
that He may be the only One left.
She clings to Him in the dark.
She lets Him hold her in the storm.
Alone and afraid.
Broken and lost.
She journeys through the wilderness.
She stops fighting the wilderness.
She lifts up her face from the dust.
Her eyes behold Him,
and He holds her in His love.
In the wilderness.

Then...
He takes hold of her right hand
and says to her: "Fear not."
He journeys with her through her
wilderness.
To the other side.
Where there is a land flowing with milk and honey.
But first,
she must journey through this wilderness.
Until at last.
She has learned.
To trust.
Inspired by a dear friend's writings and encouragement.

To the South, empty I went
In search of fun and excitement
Through the night relentless, I drove
Until I reached that beautiful cove
The year was ending and to me
Love was as far, as I could see
When dressing up for new years eve
In Portofinno I was, I couldn´t believe
Under the moonlight, what a view
And then she enters, the Lady in Blue
There she was, in my sight
The brightest star, in the night
How she looked in that blue dress
I found no words to express
With shaky legs I took the chance:
"May I ask you, would you like to dance?"
She said: "Only if in the balcony"
Putting an end, to my agony
Took her hand and lead the way
Dancing all night, in front of the bay
The moment I took her, in my arms
She immediately sent off, all my alarms
In that moment I felt and I knew
That I was not one, I was two!

Two weeks blended in & past,  
With the shock withered away.
I now wake up to feel numbness,
From my life that took a turn on dark day.

Your being subsists away from me now;
This drapes down a dramatically dark cloud.
Black showers pour down relentlessly;
the pelts purposely piercing with intention to take me down.

Then I wake up & enjoy the stare,
Directly into the Devil's eye.
Yelling at the ******* to ******* & go,
My hardened look shows it’s not my turn to die.

I made you a promise on dark day,
As my tears poured down on your corpse.
With each forehead kiss I formed my everlasting promise,
& this promise will help fill the void.

Now I'm expected to move on,
from the hell-stain on dark day.
Assumed to presume society's game,
& To pretend I want to be here to stay.

The distance between us feels like an eternity.
From my insight I've come to see,
That all forms of communication are cut off,
As I feel seclusion thereof from she.

I never thought this reality could be true.
Stuck with a vivid comprehension of what used to be you.
Mesmerized from what I could have done,
While hoping I could still help you push on through.

Yet here we are today,
Entirely & forevermore.
The unsettled truth that dark day provided,
Has left me in wonderment and severely sore.

I'm sad to say this really is good-bye.
The last time I saw you alive we met with each other in the eye,
I cried with you to get help;
Although in that moment I knew you were going to soon die.
This is my darkest write, which contains my true emotions two weeks after my mother passed. RIP to you mom, I love you more than anything and will strive everyday to keep my promise to you.

I met your little sister
On my walk home from school.
Told her I was a dancer
She thought that's pretty cool.
She wore your little jacket
From those days which we so loved
The slice of you returned to me
But, like with the whole, I stood idly.
Only you have slipped through my hands
Twice.

I want to tell you things
that scare me,
that hold me back,
that make me insecure.

I want to,
but I won't.

Because those things might scare you.
You might think I'm holding you back,
and suddenly you feel insecure.

About us.
About me.

The thing is,
I know you are one-of-a-kind
I know you are special.
I know you are the best thing that's ever happened to me.

But you don't,
not really.

I just hope that when you do finally see,
how extraordinary you are,
you will still come home and call me honey.
