In English we say:
Youāve changed
In poetry we say:
You are the waves to my ocean
Every time I feel your peace you come rushing at me once more
Wiping me off my feet
Leaving me to drown on my own
But when the calmness comes once again
I canāt help but think to myself that Iāll be strong enough to handle you next time
Iāll be more prepared
But I ne...

āThis thing called love
can be so cold.ā
Guess I might be freezing,
but youāre left untold.
āItās like youāve been replaced
by a tattoo of your name.ā
I shouldāve been smart,
and considered him vain.
āKnow you donāt care,
but I can pretend t...
I channel so much anger into my poems, I fear I am abrasive, I hate and I hate, and then I drop the pen the moment my heart lights up, when a smile creeps up on my face and there's a spark in my eyes that I can't erase, there is so much good, but that's not poetic, so much brings me joy that I would never dare immortalise, would never stain with my words and my high pitched voice, but there is so ...
Blink and then we're out of here, blink and there's tears in your eyes, blink and we'll swallow our pride, get God on our side, so that safe place was a lie, didn't really take me by surprise, it was always gonna be one of us that dies, maybe we'll find some allies and look into their eyes, we'll see a reflection of red and blue, do those colours mean anything to you? There'll be black and red, th...
if the problem persists over many places and times, perhaps you were the problem after all
if you donāt know how to be wrong, then learn. no one wants to be friends with someone who cannot accept their mistakes
if you eat when youāre bored, maybe youāre not bored at all but understimulated and sensory-seeking
in a perfect world, no one would have flaws, and a flawless world is a very boring one...
iām making something similar, but iām using the first line of ten different songs.
remember iāll always love you, you
cold bones, yeah, thatās my love
habits iām trying to kick, canāt get over it
girl, perfectly her, broken and hurt
iām in love with you
iāve never known someone like you
itās been a couple months
sunlight dances off the leaves
out on our own
you havenāt been good...
Itās little eye care what path I take,
But I shall find the sullen rocks and skies,
After the rain has ceased, and still,
I should not cry aloud, I could not cry.
āTis been said that some have died for love,
And from the heavens, the clouds did part.
But I shall love my crooked neighbor,
With my crooked heart.
You were the wind and I the sea,
When I am dead, and over me,
April shakes out her ra...
Shall I compare thee to a summerās day,
For natureās first green is gold
And summerās lease hath too short a date.
Before Eden sinks down to grief
And dawn subsides into day,
Let thy eternal summer never fade
For neither the angels above
Not the demons under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Anna bell lee
Nor can death brag that thou wand rest in his shade, when i...
As I balance bags for my journey
Love, oh love oh loveless love,āØPondering the evil of two lessors
Has set our hearts on goal-less goalsāØStep this way for the family circus
From milk-less milk to silk-lessāØLaughter sloshed out the pan
We are growing used to soul-less souls
But I can reflect on my deeds barefaced
Such grafting times we never sawāØBookmark lost to dreams
That's why we have a Pure Fo...
