There is a sea
of calmness
that sometimes beckons me.
There are no screams
in the silence of its waves.
No rattling cages
in its wide open expanse.
Only me.
And my words.
Sea
You come to me,
looking for happiness
and see me struggle
as I try to give you
what I seek myself.
Quest
You are a paper plane.
Innocent yet fleeting.
Always taking off -
forever drifting away.
Flying
on strange tides
and landing
in stranger places.
Paper plane
How do you
escape
the jaws of life
when everyone else
wants you
to be devoured
and spat out
so that
they can finally
see you
becoming them.
Jaws
You have
made me wild
only to leave
because
I can't be tamed.
Wild
Love is
an addiction
unlike any other.
When one quits
the other
feels the pain.
Addiction
I wished
for a garden.
She became my forest.
Wild
The world loves
to keep you drunk
on mediocrity.
Sober up.
- Choose wisely
I still
write about you
rewarding you with
undeserved immortality.
- deserve
In writing and relationships
the same rule applies -
Show, don't tell.
do you care ?
So
how is your
festival of colors going ?
Considering
how your hands
have always been red.
- guilty
What
shades of color
are your eyes ?
Because I think
that's what
sunshine is made of.
- you are the morning
Our choices
don't just make us
Sometimes
they make others too.
- choose wisely
How long do I stay
depends
on how warm
is your welcome.
- stay longer
the prison
of your mind
is the hardest
to escape from.
- trapped
you were a cigarette
in my hand.
Hot and intoxicating,
but in the end
leaving nothing
but ashes
and a bitter taste.
- dangerous
you have to leave
when you realise
they can't love themselves
as much as you do.
- depart
Tonight
I write again and
again you steal
a piece of my soul
- muse
With some people,
love is a virus
that grows
on denial and lies
- Infected
Life's not a movie
doesn't mean
no one's watching.
Go be your own goddamn hero.
- waiting for ?
Sometimes I think
you must be
the opposite of sunflower,
for you are drawn
to a darkness
such as me.
- What draws you to me ?
Live gently
and on your own terms
so that
when life comes full circle
you welcome it
with open arms.
- welcome
I can escape my angels
and maybe
even my demons
But there is no escape
from you,
no escape
from your memories
and perhaps
no desire to escape.
- prisoner
If what you do
doesn't light you up
from within
it's not worth
burning for.
