You may be disheartened
from many hurdles
but never wrong.

Love has existed throughout
History in many forms.
Tonight
It seeks me out
here, in you.
For You
My dearest whomever,
I can only find happiness when I know you read these words,
Words I've written at your behest,
So you can find comfort when I'm away-
Feel me through the pages like
a hand reaching to your soul.
Providing love in proxy through stars
from miles unknown.
I wish to tell you about my journeys
And wishes I made for both of us.
your longing
keeps my soul burning like firewood
lit at midnight,
and I wish to see you now more than ever.
I still hope you think of me as much as I do you,
For in time, I hope we'll be together,
like waves colliding with the shore.
I'm Sorry
My mistake dear girl was letting think you didn't deserve this love.
Your existence close to mine was
a miracle, and yet I was unwilling to admit it.
You deserve an ocean and a galaxy of love,
but not with me.
I will only steal the light.
And break your heart.
So From here, I must depart.
I hope to love you better in the next life my dearest sweetheart.
From here to the stars
If I didn't love you, I would be
a bag full of broken bones waiting to dream.
Your beauty lies beyond the threshold of
any immoral sin.
Taste this beauty as you draw the poet out my lips.
By holy declaration
and pompous orientation,
from here to the stars
my heart will choose to love you.
Always
Love In Dark Places
"I don't expect to find perfection"
She said.
I only need love in dark places,
and you do too.
I know because
My soul is deeply blue,
and your soul
screams out
just the same.
She is a dark-skinned princess.
The juju woman that lit
my heart with an eternal flame.
Last night I gave all my love to a star,
and she thanked me with all the burning lights she
had.
Lullaby
On a rainy day, I wished for nothing but her
under this crescent moon.
with her beautiful
curves curled up underneath the sheets.
Her words were pretty like flowers,
she wrote them intimately into my crestfallen heart.
We can all become better she said,
better than we used to be if we weren't so broken.
Mr. Pirate
She found you shipwrecked, washed up on a shore
and she gave you everything with love, just to see your
wounds heal in time.
But as always you left with all her gold like the pirate
you always were.
Let Her Go
I wrote you into every memory I had
Because I was too afraid to face the thought of you
gone.
In selfishness, I clipped your wings,
leaving you forever bound to me,
and slowly the lovely flowers in your pretty heart
withered and fell,
right then I knew I had to let you go.
She was beautiful, but beauty was the least of her.
You never know where she hid an ocean of tears,
or a pocket full of smiles.
I told her I would build a boat,
and we would sail off into the
Milky way,
just to watch the stars from their homes.
Part 2
A Chapter For Dear Loneliness
"Sometimes a god cries because he feels lonely.
Birds sit on tree branches because they feel lonely.
You sit near the water because you feel lonely."
—Jung Ho-Seung
The void and I
I
There's a path
that leads nowhere.
A place I go,
to sit alone with the silence.
A place where the darkness shines,
and nobody calls.
II
And even when it spoke.
The only words between us
were said softly within
the silence,
after the echoes of emptiness
that will forever be unknown and unheard.
Stories by the fires
"There's no such thing as love," he said "we are all just
sitting by the fire trying to write a new story.
Hopefully a one without a fatal Hamartia.
Some of us may try to reach a hand towards love,
hoping to be rescued.
But I've learned to face my demons alone."
"If that's the story you choose to tell," she said, "then
it isn't worth writing."
The SS Phantom
Dear Sailor,
my fellow weary traveler.
You are the captain of the night,
the restless wander aboard the SS phantom.
but you'll never find a home amongst the sea.
Just like the unsettling waves,
you have no one to anchor to.
And the ale will only taste bitter each night
on your never-ending journey with loneliness,
until there's no one left to remember you.
But do not be sad,
there are no sirens
on your path to the ends of desolation.
For you are truly
and utterly alone.
I would shed a tear
with you my friend,
but these tears are yours.
We are fated to row endlessly together,
on these barren seas.
The boy who built walls
No one thought him
how to build walls,
but when he
