chasing rain
i am in love with you.

i am in love with the way
your eyes
curl into crescent shapes
when you’re happy.

i am in love with the way
your laugh
rings through my ears
like wind chimes on a breezy spring day.

i am in love with the way
your cold hands
fit into my warm ones,

and how you look at me
with reassurance i need
when i’m ready to burst into tears.

but i cannot love you
the way you want me to.

(let me explain myself.)

i am in love with the
thought
of you.

i am in love with the
concept
of you.

i am not in love
with
you.

i love you,
my dearest friend.

i do not love you
as my partner.

and i cannot love you
the way you love me.

i cannot give myself completely to you
because i am not
in love.

(and i never will be.)
—and for that, i am sorry

write the scriptures,
the Book of Me,
with authorship
exposed on the books cover,
of every word have ever writ

flawed, ignored, rejected,
necessary to self-publish
upon the unpapered internet,
where words are ionized

I take an oath,
self-administered,
oath sworn upon mine own scripture,
testify before a jury of my peers,
me, myself and I

what you read,
is not imaginary,
I am real,
you are realizing

each of us has a truthful name,
in spite of acronymic disguises employed,
and wearing it,
here, upon this.....line dotted,
place my neck,
ready for
the executioner


you

It was not necessary to study
the language
of a strange country;
anyway, it would be of no help.
It was not necessary to know
where Italy or England
is located;
travel was obviously
out of question.
It was not necessary to live
among the wild beasts
of Noah's ark,
which had just devoured
the last dove of peace,
along with Noah
and his virtuous family.
It was not necessary to strive
for some holy land
awash in milk and honey,
according to rumor.

This one must be The love....
The Love that will make me so in love,
Forever with the smiles, laughs and dates,
Break all the pains, sorrows and hates...

Even in dreams, I'm calling thee name...
Even when I'm awake, it still lingers its fame,
My eyes won't open to wake my lame,
I Shut it loud.... "i dont like the game".

Yes this is The Love...
No matter where i look ...
No matter how i run...
Thee figure always shows..
Stunning my mind with blows,

Show me your hands...
Come with me, don't just stand,
Lets run...
Lets have the fun...

What we crave, will grow even bigger..
Put doubts in a cave, this love will even deeper,
Don't hesitate...
Don't stand on that state...

We see scares...
Even the scare need the cares,
So just wake up and run...
Let's start to make the fun...

You, me and the warming sun,
Running with me lets make the fun..
We only live for once and once is enough,
Time wait for no one and no one is not enough,

So run with me....
I will show you the true me...
Me that will Perish all the pains,
Me that will cherish all the saints,
The Love that will show you...
The True me.

Just be with me

cursed
i wonder if it ever occur to you that i was truly hurt,
or did it ever occur to me that you were hurt too?
or was it that love wasn't the case,
just loneliness
filling voids
screaming
blaming
and
threats.

you've hurt me
i was scared
i fear you.
