Lying here alone I feel more alive More pain Sadness More hope More peace Than I felt the entire day Surrounded by people Spiritually I’m growing Leaving the ones I love behind There’s a blessing in that I whiteness the beauty And loneliness of truth
Be peace. Be truth. Be open to receive, and acknowledge the universe moving inside of you. Pain, happiness, sadness, joy, it all has purpose and language. Listen. Feel. Feel the energy you are experiencing. Be separated from the emotion. Look on from the outside. Recognise its teachings. Be present, aware of its impermanence. Here you will start to know truth. X
Today I died As I awoke Reborn A change, a gift Tears of stories sting I realise my being A vehicle for living This moment I made it here And I am love
I wrote three lines on a poetry site Empty words wrapped in feeling Hearts lie bleeding We understand Started trending in foreign lands The willow weeped and held my hand Depression cuts the strongest man
Swifts soar in the ancient sky above me Flapping wings to calls of freedom I stop Take in the watercolour sky Brushes of wispy white The sun glows bright I hug my dog I appreciate you I appreciate the trees And I appreciate the sounds of this evening
Your smell is fading I close my eyes, feel warm inside Replay “You’ll never feel more alive” You say You kissed me soft, you stroked my skin You pulled me in This ancient thing Called love
Bit my back, tugged my hair **** These feelings are so rare I drink in your eyes You’re right I never felt more alive I study your mouth I connect with your soul As stories are told Your heart beats hard Through my head As I lay on your chest Forgetting the rest of the world
I inhale, exhale on the breeze as the ocean rolls in and over my feet I stand looking out to a world of black with dragon fire in its belly You cling to my heart, climb my ribs and kiss me I’m drowning on repeat in a sea of flashbacks and fantasies I can’t touch the bottom
You move like water Over my body Your wet mouth enticing waves Visceral and tangible collide In to the silk of your skin In slow motion Until we reach the shore Of stillness
I was thinking about what you said. Have you ever walked along a beach surrounded by millions of shells and pebbles and out of all of them one catches your eye and stands out above all the rest? You have to pick it up, feel it’s smoothness and edges. No one else stands out like you do. I don’t see you as average.
You, with your precious eyes More wonderful than diamonds I prefer to compare them to a silky stone That’s travelled far for its character One that catches your eye as you walk along the beach with millions more But this one, this one is special This isn’t *** luck that I’m crazy in love With eyes that reduce me to silence Shyness makes me look away But one day, one day I’ll be laying on your chest Looking up through my eyelashes Studying your face Working out the journey to this beautiful place Fingers through your hair, your lips I trace Your eyes tell me stories
And then my dreams started coming true Walking bare feet on this pathway to you Untamed ways, un-manicured trees I climb in my mind to the peaceful canopy You smile brighter than the moon And finally mountain tops bring teardrops But the superficial ways of a terrible trade Means your heart is left suspended Our suspended hearts connected at last But I talk about your eyes too much And how your beauty has me speechless Like deep valleys and rolling hills Your image thrills and the world beats With luscious greens and lovely blues You give me goosebumps And I’ve not yet mentioned your eyes I can’t let it lie I’m falling deep but it’s a voluntary leap I can swim Oceans are my destiny
I didn’t look at you enough today But I can’t live with regret I tell you all my secrets Though it’s always over text Afraid of vulnerability, words escape my tongue If you were inside my head, you’d see you turn me on You send the sweetest pictures I could look at them all day I gaze in to your eyes They have so much more to say
Words are my heartbeat to you I close my eyes and follow the guide rope Sharing music notes in the same place at the same time How can you disregard what you cannot see When love is our destiny
Inspired by these words I read My heart was beating fast There are all these reasons not to But the ones that seem to last Are the ones that fill my head With romantic tales and ****** ***
Falling in love with beauty Could never be a sin Heavens open, drench my skin Steam undulates from fire Burns deep within I’m lost, I’m found I’m lost, I’m found I’m climbing mountains just to look down Everything I longed for came around
I can’t help but love you And I have no reason for loving you Except for the love you provoke I reflect love in your name The world is solar powered Daydreaming of bare feet on the terrace My love heightened for all things The ocean, the field, the patterns in the sky, the busying birds... That list is endless Like my love for you
The lake in your eyes As mute as the swan As the sun dies Darkness dances the rumba with the light Day surrenders Trees tell stories of thorns through your feet Roots are severed You’re lost Among the forest and the lake
I went searching for the moon With urgency to tell Stars looked so deep in to my eyes That it filled me with uncertainty I rushed barefooted to the back And then the front I couldn’t bare To never see the moon again
You told me to imagine all of my dreams Ecstasy came and doubled them I crave every delicate detail over and over again I fill in gaps with ambience, touch, taste and smell Words are powerful as hell
****, you give me a heady rush I’m not sure where it starts but it shoots through my body like a trapped, crazed dart with a flame through its heart It fires to my chest releasing sparks That rush down my arms My fingers and bones tingle What is this power? This electric current? Your name? Travelling light speed through my flesh and veins My feet my toes I write this super fast Hoping that this feeling lasts
See, when that first line picks up speed and carries rhythm Rises off of the page and off of your tongue When there’s no rhyme but a beat You feel it in your chest Everything lifts, everything feels light or heavy Where words conjure scenes in imagery There is hope and satisfaction And release
Rolling hills of country green, patchwork stitched together with hedgerow precision offers such satisfaction with its squared off edges and nurturing bends Trees climb the steepest points with ease and gravity fails as they stand proud In the distance they almost reach the clouds And today, if I jumped high I could reach them
Should I seek a god Of which my faith is far convinced For answers to questions I’ve not yet worked out I look to you, the only thing in which I trust And go to the pull of the natural tug So maybe answers aren’t needed nor questions either Though the head may disagree A heart forced to pound it’s plea What you do with love comes naturally
A black sack flys up with dreary breeze The skyward bird reflects wet pavement White-grey mountain clouds roll on with weighty sighs Thoughts on such lovely lips And the weather could be torrential But in my mind all calmness
She’s not sure if they’re lies With the moon as her witness That gives light the shadow, to the pavement cracks Confusions dagger handed the power To penetrate thoughts Flesh is exposed Tomorrow she paints a smile as blood drips to the beat of footsteps Drowned out by music to ease the pain Maybe this is necessary
Saturday night is full It’s sunday morning where you lay I hope that you have woken up now I checked my phone throughout the day Daydreams of skin on skin feel Just like the darling buds of May Spring time filled the air of This late February day I’ve dreamed this dream for so long now I’ve been patient all the way I don’t know what the rush is The destination’s here to stay
You’re far away from home Manicured rows Of skyscraper homes Even in your familiar city Your heart is lost Searching the streets for meaning Regret stings your soul Your eyes have accepted their fate I see behind them passion and fire They put me in a state of desire
I remember you as you were in the heatwave Cool and light with intrigue Wide eyed and open soul And words, words of a man, trials of a man but spirit of a boy A fire child who found joy in the simplicity of the sun A softens to your frame, and wave in your hair, like even numbers The faintest grey lavender fields surround us as the city falls at your feet I notice your eyes, every time, I notice your eyes
I crave the crisp, The soft contradiction The woody smell of nature Of earth Your words In ink Drip from your skin A moment In time A part of your mind And it fills me up momentarily
Often at this hour, when the night is thick and deep And the moonlight peers atop the sky, Does my mind, heart and body feel most alive, Most connected to the pulse of night, Rhythmic time goes ever by Through throbbing veins with hope for life Envisioned as a tangible thing, imagine string connects all beings All with soul and core All with love and hope
I never thought much of angels before today Then I saw moon-light in the light of day And the majesty on borrowed wings Of piercing white More than just the sense of sight Bowed in prayer among the still Is this to believe in the supernatural?
Crystal shimmers, barely there ripples The deepness of dark welcomes silvery moonlight Cliche? This is my fantasy, and there’s no breeze Water, still as stone Leaves, lightly breathing The ground dry, still warm from the sun You lay with me I wait for your voice to relax as I run my fingers through grass My mind isn’t as interesting as yours And despite it being my fantasy, reality remains I can’t articulate myself as well as you I’m afraid of opening completely Though your candidness intrigues me It’s all simplicity and complexity
Time floats away but there’s no regret I’ve read verses of trees, of hope, of contentment I shed a tear, or more, words can have that effect I am blessed with your gift of words You were granted death My thoughts are sad but light, you lived a full and grateful life Your departing year matched my arrival I hope for your future, spread on wings And you feel light breeze among those beloved trees
Your soul aluminates your being Your skin radiates with love And although you aren’t filled right up You spill generosity on all you touch Never has one face forever been enough And a body, though just a shell, for you I ache with lust With lips I long to kiss, hands entwined But the hold is in your eyes Home, with you I find
Eternal tug of war will come what may Non-religious, I pray, for the comfort of day Then hope for night to take the pain away Fear holds me paralysed Stuck in the mud of yesterday, today Weight of the worlds contradictions fall What if it’s my own heart I betray?
