Just let these feelings
sit inside
and subside
let the tried and true
come to you
through the two
rules of this life
One
there is no rival
for love
Two
there is no love
if you can't face it
embrace it
UPPER CASE IT
because if you can't
give it
than prepare to live
a life
of receiving but not having
and traipse the edge of the knife
sort of like
a tightrope act
walked until cracked
in half complete
on cold concrete
with no one to say
goodbye to.

No-one would even remember you.
Love is the lens we see ourselves through
and it will all, one day, come into focus.
None of this 'meet and greet' hocus pocus,
life is an encounter
that you step up our back down to
but if you can come up,
then you will not go back down, you
are ten seconds of sunshine
in a night where no-one can find
anything,
you are the something,
you are the exception
we connect ourselves by strings
like hearts made of tin
there will be lonely days
when the path ahead
splays out like
a million highways.
But you can be a moonbeam
by which everything that would seem
impassable,
insurmountable
like boot set in dirt
so hard it takes up root
all these things
become moot
when held to your radiance
because there are gradients
in all life's creatures
but the greatest teachers
ever summoned to our side
will be our reflection
in the pond
do not abscond from this sight
you will die...

if you do not fight.



Alright?
If I ever recite this, I'm going to have  a paramedic on site for when I pass out. It'll be super worth it though.
They tell you that love is light
but it’s your darkness that
keeps my heart beating

DC raw love
When your thrown into the window of hurt
Everything is filled with pain

Life seems to becomes so strange
because of the feelings of loneliness

demented ways become habit
as no one can tell you whats right

these feelings always linger
in every waking moment

with the feelings of people
plotting and scheming against you

the people that care
you feel are no longer there

there is only one factor to get over hurt
and that only comes with time

tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick

the feelings of hurt will eventually go away

DC raw love
Sitting in darkness
For I have nothing in me

What i thought was something
Is no longer to be

My thoughts are now lost
Since your now over me

Always wondering
Where you might be

Why did this happen
To happen to me

My feelings were fine
When they were mine

But when you took my heart
I can no longer start

To start a new life
A life of my own

A life that was great
Until you took my heart
I walked down the street,
Two A.M in the morning,
Knocked on his door three times,
His face popped into view.

His eyes concerned, 
And he opened his mouth,
But I raised my hand,
And stopped him.

"Look, I know you don't want me here,
You probably don't feel the same way.
But hear me out
And listen to my say."

"I sure have been in love with you,
For a really long time.
But our friendship has been a little rocky,
And I did not want not ruin it 
Any more.

I also wish
That these feelings would go away,
So I waited.
By they didn't.
We only grew further apart.

I was relived when you came back.
But I knew you didn't feel the same way,
And I was put in misery again.

I have tried my best for you,
I have stuck up for you,
I dreamt about you,
I did everything I could for you.

But you stuck with being the bad boy,
Dating the bad girls,
Those impressions that the town has,
Isn't really you.

I know I am one of the few people,
Who can see through your ego.
You really are a genuine guy,
You are so so nice.

You treat people the way 
They should be treated.
You want to protect
The ones you love.

I have fallen for your humor,
I have fallen for your kindness,
I have fallen for your generosity,
I have fallen for your cockiness.

But sometimes I wish 
I was that girl,
Who had all your attention;
All your love.

So, I know this might ruin
Our beautiful friendship,
But I want you to know that I Love you;
And I always will.

I want you to know, 
That I wish you were the one I called early in the morning,
Just to say hi.
The one I called in the middle of the night,
Because I was in danger.
The one I hugged everyday,
Because I just loved you that much.
The one who would come up to me
At a godly hour,
Just to say you couldn't lose me.

But now, I'm the one,
Who is coming up to you,
At a godly hour
Saying I can't lose you.

You might not deserve a girl like me,
I'm just vulnerable.
But I try to get your attention,
Because I really need you.
I can sense your presence,
From a mile away.
And God ******,
You are really ****.

So here I am,
At your doorstep,
Asking for one thing only,
Yet it means so much.

So, please, I know it's asking too much,
But will you be the one I call early in the morning?

 Will you be my 2 A.M?"
He stares at me blankly for a few seconds.
Then he leans down and kisses me on the lips.
Pulling back, he smiles.

"I thought you'd never ask,"



I'm in such a lovey mood this week, I just finished a super and amazing book. Humorous as well. I was being truthful with this. I fell in love with a character, and this is what I would say to him. So, yes, he IS **** :)

This is my Christmas present to you. Merry Christmas HP, and all you poets out there:) have a great one.

Our friendship to me will always be
A Lighthouse standing strong
No matter how rough life's seas
Together we'll weather any storm
How ever far our travels take us
This friendship light will always shine
As it has from the beginning
Until the very end of time
I have an artist friend that painted a lighthouse picture for another friend for Christmas and I was honored when she asked if I could write a poem to go along with it.

She dreamt of sunken people who spoke of hope
And iron hearts who bled empathy
Hunger that fed on peace
War which longed to unite with life
Immortal ethics set in practice
Children who never escaped childhood
Flowers that refused to die
And love which was incapable of lies
She dreamt of dreams coming true
But awoke to a full blown strife
Still she believed with all her might

we find ourselves as prisoners
a fact there's no denying
we have to blame, nobody else
on whom we are relying

the curtain call we all must bow
shadows of tomorrow
turn the page we know it well
the author of our sorrows

step from the path into this place
we bow our heads as we say grace
the past our present we can't erase
the future tense that we will make
Today will be my last day on all social media till early Feb. Deep inside I always feel the need to escape the ******* that they have placed on me due to my own weakness. I'll be back...
