You are a mirage
You're not really there.
A remembering or fanciful ideal
Of how things could be,
Would be?
Decisions are made in the face of our truth at the time
With no other possible way.
And on this day I yearn
For something greater,
-a higher love-
The crashing of our hearts colliding was too powerful for even the strongest.
And I was weak.
I was broken and I needed surety
But recoiled from your ease.
Trying to give me space,
The whole universe collapsed upon me
And I ran.
Over and bleeding and over again.
And now I wonder where you are,
The longitude and latitude only tell me where you've been.
But I want to know.
Time moves slowly
I think I might write something
A poem or two,
I've got some words
Since thinking of you.
It's been a long time
No emotions have stirred,
I guess it's the chaos
And the drama, I've heard.
It gets the juices flowing
It all just falls out,
Like they've been waiting and wishing
For a reason to breakout.
Don't get me wrong though
Life's given me hell,
It's been painful and scary
And it's also been swell.
I've loved and laughed
And cried so hard
I've hurt and been hurt
And i've even been scarred.
But not a word has flown
Not a song was sung,
I've had heartache and pain
And not even a strum.
Yet here I am
with you on my mind
For the last two week
It's resting on my sleeve,
been there all this time.
I've tried before
to keep it somewhere else
Somewhere safe and hidden
But it never works,
it always finds it's way back.
Sometimes I so badly want to give it a new home
but then I know it's a part of me
that I will never change.
It isn't an entirely terrible place to keep it.
It has it's good and bad days
ups and downs.
Some appreciate it,
some push it aside.
Today is a day where I believe.
I believe in love.
So it can rest on my sleeve for a little while longer
and I will stand strong
and tall
for what I believe in today.
Love, in all it's radiant beauty.
You utter the word "no" when I offer an alternate path,
And yet I have to hear the whining,
day in
day out.
You refute my advances for change,
a no person, you are.
Like dirty clothes you will not shed.
I try to help,
offer my fingers from a hand well worn.
But stubbornness is a virtue, for you
and pride you wear around your neck,
never taking it off,
for fear of disappointment
embarrassment
change.
It can be ever so beautiful
to say yes.
There is a world out here,
discard the heavy burden.
But you cannot see,
Your blindfold stuck with glue,
too painful to tear away
yet hindering you from a life lived.
Your life lived,

Goodbye writers block, for now
Hello stranger,
I forgot your complexion
Creativity masked by logic.
But it was just hide and seek
Well played
for a decade
No words expressed on paper
No words expressed in song,
as I waded through the quicksand
trying to construct verses.
You were there all along though, my friend
I can see that now.
I see through your shaky disguise.
So now flowing through minute nib
Is there a muse to give praise?
Some silent inspiration
or maybe the meditation
assisting each new creation?
If I can just understand why
Then I can tie it to my wrist,
embed it in my skin
Never to leave my world again.
To stay a while longer.
There's a knock at the door
and my heart stops
hoping for your smile
to be on the other side
But what would I do
If I were faced with your lips
just a mere foot from mine
I'd ask you in
and we'd embrace
while time stands still
You'd kiss my lips
and that explosion we've spoken of
would break down my walls
I'd take you to my special place
where we'd speak of nothing from before
And you'd tell me you loved me all along
And i'd tell you I'm sorry
But you'd silence me with another bang
And we'd trap our love tightly
in our arms
never to escape again.
But as I open the door
My heart beats again
This painful beating
witho
I heard a passing thought the other day
Or maybe I read it....
Nevertheless it was said.
that when we're in the arms of the one who holds our heart
the certainty of forever is undoubtable
and to feel for another would be unimaginable.
But alas, fast forward
a month
a year
a decade
and we may well loathe that same soul
disgusted by their futile touch
and surely feel the flutter once felt before
for another
and so on goes the cycle.
Going on this
how can we ever expect anything more?
I put it to you in writing
here and now
that the only thing I ever believed in
was love
And now the sign says closed
do not enter

I've seen your name in numerous places today
and it isn't even midday.
I've been drawing little love hearts on my work
as I answer my colleague in monotone fragments.
I'd like to say a big fuck you to the universe
for making me think of you again
and putting your face at the forefront of my mind
For remembering the timing of your heartbeat
and increasing mine to suit.
It's always when I least expect it that
they think it might be of some hilarity to dangle you there
when I must say no.
So I guess I shall push my way through, ignoring the signs
but I know I'm just tredding water
Until I get too tired and sink.

This Is All About You:
Most people giving you advice, might take a quote from a book
Most people giving you advice, have never had a real look
So from someone who's been watching, let me lay my heart bare
I want to show you all the special things, about the girl for whom I care
She always does her very best, no matter how tough the task
Even when she's struggling, she puts on a brave mask
She's always trying to learn new things, just for a chance to make you proud
She can be a little bit quiet, but I think that's better than being loud
She's not the very best in sports, I know she can be kind of a klutz
But she smiles and goes on an
Lovely.
It suits you
like white lace on tanned skin.
Graceful.
Your soft ease.

Charming.

Tonight, after leaving my mums house and homeward bound, I felt entirely out of my league with writing. Most of the work that I ever wrote was when I was a teenager and only recently have unblocked my writers block, opening up my creative side.
I'm hoping that with ten years added, my talent has been brewing inside but I'm unsure.
Here's something I quickly wrote in the car.
Thoughts,
Roughly penned
In a book of broken verses.
An impostor,
I feel
A have-not amongst the have's.
Thank you I'm feeling the urge to write again, so I'm spending some time on here reminding myself of what its like to get my feelings down on paper. Good to see you're still on here
