“Love starts as a feeling,
But to continue is a choice;
And I find myself choosing you
More and more every day.”

Every inch of my skin was touching yours
I still wouldn’t be close enough to you.”

This gravity is just irresistible
We spin around each other, you and I
When I fell for you, I fell into your orbit.”

And heard a symphony
In your laughter.”

“Call me obsessed, color me consumed
I’ve always been the type to notice
The smell of a rose in bloom,
But let me confess, this is new
You’ve stopped my heart, let it resume
And I, to finish, must tell it true
I’m high on your perfume.”

Without tempering my amazement
Knowing all beauty eventually dies.”

“You brought me to places
I’d have never thought to go
To a trail near the river
Where the water runs slow;
To a mountain where all we heard
Was our voices’ echo;
You showed me inward beauty
That doesn’t show in photos.”

“Pressure knocks at my door
A clock ticks and demands its due
The lava burns from the floor
But not in a game like it used to.
So little time to figure it all out
So many distractions to prevent success
I’m in a dark forest with no path or route
But this internal fire knows no rest.”

“Sleepless nights
Spent looking at the ceiling
Searching in those etched patterns
For some sort of adhesive
To glue together the broken pieces
Of a soul crushed
By the weight of the fact that
Life is profoundly sad.”

“I'd be lying if I said I didn't want you
I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish you were mine
The truth is, you stole my heart from afar
The truth is, you still have it. ”

“I’ve been worried since I left the womb
Like a schizophrenic on shrooms
Like a hypochondriac on crack
Never shy with the panic attacks;
Internal reality succumbs to psychosis
Dreams destroyed by self-diagnosis.”

“Love is just two people
Plastering perfect masks
On each others’ faces;
And it only lasts
Until the masks crack
And the fantasy ends.”

“The stars stare back
In that deep,
Soul-shattering blackness
And from the depths of existence
Comes a cruel, icy wind
Raising the hairs
On the back of your neck
And suddenly it feels
Like you’re walking a tightrope
Over that endless abyss
On one sad, fraying, thin
Violin string.”

The wind is the breath of the earth
To never become who you are
Or to change at all, which is worse?”

“A fire burns in the evening sky
Breaking like an egg in a pan
A sea of yellowish orange spreads
In accordance with divine plan.
Vibrant paint drips to the edge
Of ashen clouds drifting past
The sun is a messy painter
Every brush stroke massive and vast.
The clouds are like matches
Starting as fiery flame
Then fading to ashes
A burning passion, tamed.
The red, orange, yellow leaves
On the ground in this season
Reflect the colors of the sky, and
The sunlight that used to feed them.
A September sunset beaming
Down as a sailor's last call
A herald for the coming winter
A message, enjoy the fleeting fall. ”

“Are we like two stars in a constellation
Seeming so close
And making so much sense
Yet in reality
We are separated by lightyears
And shall never meet?
Except, perhaps
In that sacred space
Between dreams and reality
Called hope.”

What lies just beyond the fringe
Of the human experience;
What is it that we do not see?”

“I look up upon a sparsely starred abyss
Having wandered to this street corner
In the middle of the night
Watching the cars and people go by
Wondering
If this deep, black nothingness
Is the sum total of being human.”

“Let us love like the spark
Between flint and stone
In reckless abandonment,
Promising no eternities,
But promising only to seek out
Upon each day’s sunrise
Something to choose to love
In each other.”

Filled with a hundred billion stars
Is it so crazy to believe
Our paths were destined to cross?”

“We are a handful of dust in God’s image
Before we return again to dusty grave
Life isn’t a war, it’s a scrimmage
A hyphen between two dates.”

“I’ve always hated it when authors seem to find joy
In killing my favorite characters.
With gleaming eyes they toy
With turmoil in every chapter.
Just when they’ve got you attached
To the character’s quirks and flaws
To their words and their demons
Just when you’ve fallen in love
With the character’s identity—
With a cruel turn of the lip
The author smirks and kills them off
And at our gasped pleas, merely scoffs.
But the author was God
And my favorite character was you
And I still can’t believe
You’re gone.”

“In vain I try to jump into the photo
To create again a time so simple
That a piece of paper might encapsulate it
From the erosive winds and waves of time
Which bring even the greatest of loves to a grave of dust.”

“Time is the cruelest of physicians, healing
All wounds, but always slowly, looping
A surgical needle through the mind’s flesh, experiencing
Torment again over again, repeating
Until anesthetics bring an end to feeling.”
