We perfected closeness
Dissolved the distance between souls
Thusly: Our love is likely to be plagiarized

U
I can’t think of you
As anything other than a poem
A place where the best lines meet
Where beauty always breathes
An immortalization of a dream
The Anatomy Of A Hug

Through an endless cycle of embrace
I will go beyond all lovers
And spin your world in reverse
Travel back to a time before myths
Reimagine the universe as the shape of our kiss
Slow
Down
The
Earth
Until the core and mantle flake
Whileholdingtheatmospherewithinreach
Atlas held the celestial spheres on his shoulders
Now you hold them on your hips
And spin my world in reverse

Not Like You (Lyrics + Song)
[Verse 1]
There’s no one like you in the world, babe
There’s no one like you in the galaxy
There’s no one like you in the universe, babe
There’s no like you in eternity
There’s no one like you in Heaven, babe
There’s no one like you in humanity
[Chorus 1]
That’s why I’m losing my mind
That’s why I’m sharing my heart
That’s why I’m building a home
That’s why I’m never apart
That’s why I’m never apart
[Verse 2]
There’s no one like us in the world, babe
There’s no one like us in the galaxy
There’s no one like us in the universe, babe
There’s no like like us in eternity
There’s no one like us in Heaven, babe
There’s no one like us in humanity
[Chorus 2]
That’s why we’re losing our minds
That’s why we’re sharing our hearts
That’s why we’re building a home
That’s why we’re never apart
That’s why we’re never apart
[Bridge]
There’s nothing like you in the whole world, babe
There’s nothing like you in history
(2x)
That’s why I’m losing my mind
That’s why I’m sharing my heart
That’s why I’m building a home
That’s why we’re never apart
That’s why we’re losing our minds
That’s why we’re sharing hearts
That’s why we’re building a home
That’s why we’re never apart
That’s why we’re never apart
Divine Presence
There’s no such thing
As just a room
just a bed
just a house
Anywhere you’ve been becomes blessed.
Your Energy
Of all the forms of renewable sources
Carbon
Sunlight
Wind
Rain
Tides
Waves
Geothermal heat
You are the purest energy
Useful
Natural
Sustainable
Push and Run (Song Lyrics + Song)
[Verse 1]
You told me that you’d never leave
In fact, you promised me
What do these words even mean
When they don’t last past a week?
I’ve seen you up in my dreams
The only place you don’t leave
What does that even mean
When it don’t last past a sleep?
[Chorus]
You push and run
You push and run
You run faster than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
You push harder than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
Is that your superpower, huh?
Is that your…?
[Verse 2]
I told you that I’d never leave
You should’ve trusted me
I don’t do make-believes
Not even in a dream
This wasn’t fantasy
No matter what it seems
I’m coming for you, babe
Tossing the world out the way
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You’re drifting me out toward sea
Drown every time I believe
This time I don’t think I can breathe
This time there’s no air left for me
You’re drifting me out toward sea
Die every time that you leave
This time I don’t think I should breathe
This time I don’t want to be
[Chorus]
You push and run
You push and run
You run faster than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
You push harder than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
I know that more than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
Is that you superpower, huh?
Or do you do it for fun?
Whoa, or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so
I have to run?
Or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so?
I have to….

What Is Poetry Anyway?
Forget the sensuous rhythms, the candlelit flows
The flame-drenched language
and the exaggerated escapades
Forget the masterful forms, the dreamy refrains
The count of lines and stanzas
and the elaborate rhyming schemes
Forget the scathing irony, the fanciful similes
The absolutely astonishing alliteration
and the mind-blowing metaphors
Forget all that glitter and just keep the gold
A poem isn’t a poem
Unless it’s about you
_________________________________________________________
Here’s also the first version of this poem, which I’ve been working on for too long.
A poem is not a poem
On the page
Unless it’s about you
Though it may feel and look
Like some poetry
It’s not the same
Every word decays
In my candlelit mind
Unless it’s about you
Often lines and stanzas
Go astray, too, when
A poem is not a poem
Because there is no prose
Or even rhyme
Unless it’s about you
And in my heart and
On the page
A poem is not a poem
Unless it’s about you
Only So (Pt. I)
I.
You took my heart to cloudnine
Only so you could drop it to groundzero
High (Song Lyrics + Song)
[Verse 1]
I’m not that high
I’m not that cut and dry
But I don’t like grey
That’s all I wanted to say
[Chorus]
I know that everything you are
Is what I need
And everything you are
Is what I dreamed
So every time you say that you love me
I fall a little deeper in love, it’s true
It’s true, I fall a little deeper in love with you
[Verse 2]
You look so high
Your smile could reach the sky
You don’t like grey
That’s all you needed to say
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We’re going around in circles every day
But it doesn’t have to be this way
If all we want to do is run and play
Then we should, then we should
I keep looking into your eyes and seeing the sky
I keep looking into your eyes and wanting to fly
I keep looking into your eyes and feeling so high
I keep looking into your eyes and, baby, I’m high
[Chorus]
[Bridge 2]
You make me so high
You make me so high
I’ve learned how to fly
I’ve learned how to fly
[Chorus]
I know that everything you are
Is what I need
And everything you are
Is what I dreamed
So every time you say that you love me
I fall a little deeper in love, it’s true
I think I’m gonna stay in love with you
