Never bend
Nor break
Only expand horizons
The opposite of crash
Merge to connect
Forgo destruction
Create instead
An invisible world
Built upon the alignment
Of four-lettered words

Backward
There are days
Your affection
Sounds like:
uoy evol I
And I can’t decide
If it’s coming from
The tip of your tongue
Or the depths of my ears
You
are the sentence without a period
The movement in the puddle after the rains
The scent that lingers when the scent is gone
The oxygen for the oxygen
The letters that spell out the word love
The one thing I’ll never leave behind
Ever Since (Song Lyrics)
[Chorus]
I loved you ever since I found you
I always need to be around you (2x)
[Verse 1]
They say our love is like a fountain
I think it’s higher than a mountain
Our love is wider than the ocean
I never needed any potions
I loved you long before I woke up
One look said we would never break up
I never thought you needed makeup
You’re perfect just the way God made ya
[Chorus]
I loved you ever since I found you
I always need to be around you (2x)
[Verse 2]
Your scent is sweeter than a flower
Around you I lose all my power
You’re flawless in every arrangement
I’ve always wanted an engagement
How can I tell you that you’re perfect
In a way no poet has wrote it?
You’re so much more than I noted
Your essence they could never clone it
[Chorus]
I loved you ever since I found you
I always need to be around you (4x)
Undisputed Truths (Sunrises and Sunsets)
Might be falling
Too dark for positives
Surrounded by
Blurs my eyes
Can’t ever adjust to
Thought stars
Rose in the east
Set in the west
Appears that wasn’t true
The facts are:
My sun rises and sets solely
Upon the position of you
What You Make Me Wish For
You make me wish
The world were flat
And you were sailing
In a boat toward its end
Not Of This Earth
Discovered your shadow
along the wall
in the pale moonlight
It was the shape
of a heart with two wings
So it goes without saying
you’re not of this Earth.
We Stopped Making Love
We speak in sonnets
Our hands the couplets
Kissing haikus
And amid the dark we compose
These rhythmic stanzas
Because at some point
We stopped making love
And started making poetry
Everyone Says Hi
Went running
Smiled the whole time
Everyone smiled back
Even said: “Hi”
I wonder if that still happens
Had I not been thinking of you?
8 Months
I didn’t need 4 seasons
To recognize you’re the scent of sweet
I didn’t need 240 moons
To want you 8 days a week
I didn’t need 1 year
To give you the key to my heart
And I sure as hell
Don’t need you gone
To know what I got
It was obvious you were
Priceless from the start
