How Cute, He Got Me Roses

You can only know

The phoenix

From the ash

It leaves behind

Thoughts on Love #10

And with a single word, our love flickered to life. It started small, like a burning ember in a furnace, but soon it grew into a roaring fire. Every time you say my name, it burns brighter. My heart is on fire with love for you- and I know that no power on this earth could extinguish it.

Your shoulders are littered

With meaningless tatoos

Inky reminders

That cannot be removed

So here is new mistake

For you to wear around

And maybe it will mean something

When i am nowhere to be found

Someday I'll stop waiting

For a love thats come and gone

I know that it wont get here

But I hope to God I'm wrong

There are so many eyes

Glowing in the dark

Watching me

Waiting until i slip.

It is maddening

The disembodied cackles

Mocking me

Not with words,

But with laughter.

Awaiting my failure

Do you see the eyes?

Do you hear the sounds?

Am i the only one

Who is

Going insane?

Thoughts on Beauty #1

There are many misconceptions regarding beauty. People think that it is only what is pleasing to the eye, however, they couldn't be more wrong.

Beauty is the good that leads us to truth, no matter what form it may take.

My arm has fallen

Asleep again

Like my mind at 3am.

And I hope by shaking it

Out today

I may save it from needles

And pins

Thoughts on Love #2

When I saw you, there were butterflies in my stomach. 

When I looked away, they became rabid wolves, scratching and eating away at me until I learned that what I was feeling was love

She is like the ocean

Her waves as soft and calm

Brushing my ankles

Like kisses at dawn

She is like the ocean

The towering frozen sea

Where the waves as tall as mountains

Threaten to topple me

She is like the ocean

Dark, at times, but brave

Stronger than I ever was

And soothing through the days

Thoughts on Love #4

Your love gives me wings, but I am your rock. I know that if I fly too high, you will be alone on the ground. I deny the blissful sky, to stay with you on the earth in passionate contentment.
