Watching as you come undone
I see it clearly in your eyes
Like watching the fall of civilizations

Walls crumble
Oceans rise
Fires erupt
Skies break

Slowly... slowly you come undone
You're falling piece by piece
As the stripped armor reveals

Uncovered wounds
Silent stories
A caged animal
Raging, fighting

It is hypnotizing, really
How clear your eyes are
Windows to the undaunted soul

Shaken and cautious
Full of attention
Absorbing all detail
And retaliating back

Tell me, my dear friend
What has cracked you so
And released such a destructive beauty?

Welcome Back

This is where I came from. A broken door hangs on rusted hinges, barely screwed into the frame. Glass from shattered windows is scattered about the warped wood porch, reflecting subtle splinters of light into my eyes. The branches of the old oak tree next to it reaches out towards the house, as if trying to reclaim the wood that barely holds the place together anymore. I look past it now as I slowly step inside, careful not to finally break the door free of the frame. Dust rises as soon as my feet touch the floor; even my breathing stirs it to life. The air is stagnant, the breath of days gone by untouched and unchanged. A place

No sound

I am a prisoner of silence, enslaved by words I cannot say. Unable to pronounce my feelings, forbidden to explain my pain.

Unlock My Name

My life lasts a few seconds you see Watch me grow strong and free I'm born with a single touch; don't take your eyes off me Soon you'll see me whither and flee To some I am a sign of beauty To some a moment of glee I don't make a sound, no not a peep Try to unlock my name, I'll grant you no key

She won't be here tomorrow.

In this world, there are two kinds of people. Those who see, and those who feel. She is beautiful. She is too beautiful. But I wouldn't dare to say. She has heard it all before. She already lived it all before. Yes, I know. She is beautiful. And she has the power. You would not resist. You will say: "Who is that one?" I will say: "I don't know!" It's better that way. Because she is beautiful, but she cries. She always cries. It's what her smile says. She had problems. She has problems. But for now, she just wanna burn this place. Her world is not here. Not with these people. She deserves something better and sh

Ich bin

Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer schon hier war. Ich bin, der wacht, ich bin, der spricht. Ich bin der Hauch vom letzten Jahr. Ich bin die Nacht und bin die Früh. Ich bin der Mond (die Sonne nie). Ich bin das Wort, ich bin das Buch, ich bin, der all die Worte sucht, bin der Fürimmer, bin der Moment und der die Zeit manchmal verpennt. Aber ich bin. Ich bin der, alles, der nirgendwo zu Tod betrübt und liebesfroh. Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer bei dir war: Ich bin der Wind in deinem Haar.

Love it

I feel your hands in my hair. I feel your breath on my neck. I feel your body pressed so close to mine. I feel your lips on my throat. I feel your hands move to my back and your lips work their way up to mine. I feel you and I love it. I hear you say you love me. I hear you whisper my name. I hear you tell me I'm the only one for you. I hear your breath in my ear. I hear your soft snores as I fall asleep. I hear you and I love it. I see you as I run into your arms. I see your face break through my world of darkness. I see you fight away my fears. I see you wipe away my tears. I see you're in love with me. I see you and I love

Now I Understand (A Poem)

Isn’t it odd? Isn’t it strange? How in an instant Everything can change? One day I’m not here, The next I am, And I’m reaching out, For your hand. I’m just a child. I’m alive and free. I’m everything, I want to be. You smile down at me, And I smile up, And I feel like, This is enough. And though we may walk, Across miles of land, I will never let go, Of your big hand. Isn’t it odd, though? Isn’t is strange? How, in an instant, Everything can change? I’m growing now, And I’ve let go. I’ve tossed out the picture books, You used to show. Now I’m lost, And I can’t see. I’ve wandered so far, You can’t find me. I’m on my own, But now I’m scared. I’m still young, I’m unprepared. I’m adjusting though, And we talk sometimes. You remind me, Of those old Nursery rhymes. Isn’t it odd? Isn’t it strange? How in an instant, Everything can change? I’ve come back now, But I’m losing you, And I pray, It isn’t true. Because now I understand, Now I see, Everything, You were to me. My teacher,

Despoema de amor

Deveria lhe compor versos perfeitos Que homenageariam todo seu ser Te diria que o meu sonho é te ter Mas fico com preguiça e não faço tais feitos Diria que desbravaria todo o mundo Somente pra defender seu nome Só que eu esqueci dele, to usando um pronome, Então é melhor guardar isso num buraco fundo Doaria pra te uma parte de mim Se necessário até meu coração Mas na hora do transplante eu daria uma de fujão É melhor a essa estrofe eu dar um fim Falarei então que até Lua eu te daria Mas agora de me lembro de um problema: Não consigo nem sequer puxar

Desire

Your smooth skin, It drives me crazy I want to touch you, And just maybe, You...will let me... The look in your eyes, It really drives me wild I shouldn't be surprised, That you're so tempting... You are all I can see... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Controlling me I can see... The light in your eyes, Every time you see me... The beads of perspiration, Are rolling down your face As you look away, I lean in for a little taste, Because you let me... I can see your curves, Move underneath your shirt And I can't place a price, On what this moment's worth... So revealing... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Always controlling me I can s

Our Last Kiss

If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have inhaled you deeper within me. If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have seared your taste onto my tongue. If I had known it was our last kiss, I would have scorched your scent into my skin. ... If I had known, I would have frozen time ...
