Thoughts On Love #16

I tremble in the cold

Of December

Yet the warmth

In my heart

Lights up my soul

Like the strands of beauty

On the tree

In the shakey moments

Between wake and sleep

I let loose the tears

That I didn’t let you see

They fall upon my pillow

And transform into rust

Reminding me that we

Are nothing more

Than dust

Thoughts on Beauty #1

There are many misconceptions regarding beauty. People think that it is only what is pleasing to the eye, however, they couldn't be more wrong.

Beauty is the good that leads us to truth, no matter what form it may take.

Can you stay with me

For a little while

Until i fall

Asleep?

Thoughts on Beauty #4

It is always so beautiful to see a crowd. They are one, made of many. Each person walking to the same rhythm- a heartbeat.

Bum Bum

At first it is quiet. It is the first sign of life, or better yet, a rebirth.

Bum Bum

It has grown louder, echoing through the streets. They are united, they are one.

BUM BUM

It is deafening, the beautiful sound of rebellion and of unity. Many people standing for one purpose, a sign of change.

That is what can change lives, every person rising up for what they believe in, standing tall while they sing. They march to a beat, that heartbeat- now deafening- as a sign of beauty and of something new.

"You cant have it all," they say

And that, for me, is fine

I don't need everything

Just enough to get by

I don't want a mansion,

Or love, or wealth

I just want to know

How to love myself

When my sanity is tied so tightly to the notion

That you will always be mine

I hope you understand why I'm broken

When the strings of fate that tangled us together

Begin unraveling

Like the denumount of a bittersweet film

That I've seen coming but just can't bear to watch.

I've turned the ending in my mind

Like a smooth stone in my hand

Feeling for any scratch and mar

To justify holding on

Instead of skipping it on the surface of the sea.

5/14

Being with you

I felt human agin

But in that moment

There was foreign blood

Pumping in my veins

So I scream out

Feeling raw inside

“I deserve to be loved!”

And listen for the echo

To return from the empty 

So it can remind me

That I am

Alone

We could run away

and live life for the chase

Never looking back

Pretending it's a race

Are we being followed?

No, but that is half the fun

I need to get away from here

And i want you to come

Whatever tries to find us

Will have to eat our dust

So lets just run away, babe

And find a better 'us'

I know it hurts right now, love

But believe me when i say

That the cold that you are feeling

Will one day go away

And maybe it will come again

But this time you will feel

Like welcoming it instead

And that is when you'll heal
