You are my tattoo
Etched into my skin
Marking me forever
My beautiful reminder

You are my pain
I will bleed for you
As I help you heal
Admiring who you are

You are always mine
I want to have you
A need to wear you
Be my tattoo
Good is better than bad
- Always
Good is no better
- At times
Bad is better than worse
- A solace
Worse is better than the worst
- A consolation
Bad is the best of the worst
- A compromise

Good is bad to a few sometimes
Bad is good to some at times
What is good
What is bad
That fluctuates
With time, place and people
With a swing in degrees
Between extremities
The best and the worst
To circumvent circumstances  

Good is never bad
Bad is never good
Says the dictum
Is it ethical or mythical?
Legal or logical
Religious or regulatory
Is it discretionary?
Or discriminatory
Or all combined?
Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
You are always in my head
But you have no clue.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue;          
I'm still here lying on my bed
Thinking of you.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
Dreaming for us to be wed,
Is there a chance for me and you?
Happy valentines day! <3
And I
will be by your side
And I
will call your name
And I
will sing your songs,
speak your praise,
And I
will dance with you
And I
will speak with you,
Hold you tight,
take your time,
make you right.

And I
would have come much sooner,
If I had known you
were so lost.
And I
I'm on your side
I'll hold that light
against the darkest night

And I
will sing your name,
we will take our time
until
morning comes again.
Inspired by Mumford and Sons: The Cave
My heart will not be denied
Soul, body, and mind
I will not be confined
I'll reach for the sky
This, I will live by

Even after I die
I will be immortal
My words have no goodbyes
