Poetical Conversion

Jun8

Since you’ve been gone
I’m avoiding words
Most of all poems
Can’t wrap my hand around a pen
And advocate the heavenliness of love
When I’ve been forcefully converted
To a sad poet by its forsaken desires

Inked

Apr6

I’m infatuated with the speed at which you spill your ink
Imagine all the ways you guide your pen over a page
Fantasize about how you dot your i’s and cross your t’s
And now I can’t stop thinking of collaborating

In The Beginning

Jun25

When I saw you
my world expanded,
literally, for you were
an undiscovered galaxy
with the most breathable air
and the prettiest stars.

However, when you saw me,
you just thought of one
big bang.

Knowing you
Has taught me
There is something
Beyond beauty
Beyond love
Beyond even heaven

This bubble is no sanctuary

To miss the fantasy outlook

Never a guarantee of words

Sometimes just a wall

Or rather a block

The Natural Cycle

Feb2

Just as every day falls to night

Every daydream becomes a nightmare

But this is only the natural cycle of things

Nothing you should worry about

Measured Feelings

Feb1

I stepped on the scale to decide (once and for all)

The weight of sorrow and

Found its heaviness immeasurable
