i’m in love with the world through the eyes of a girl…

lol at sleep.

lol at night.

lol at sky.

lol at god(God?)

lol at life.

lol at writing poems for my girlfriend.

The night remains still after everything,
And the lights, they pierce the dark for nothing.
Everyone is lost, but it seems to me
They are right where they want to be.

The morning is slow in its coming,
And the sun takes time in its rising,
But our moon hangs with leisure,
And there is comfort in the evening’s cover.

The people all around look to the sky,
They dream of the stars but hate to fly,
Just like you and I are so afraid to see each other,
But nights you and I are blind and so close lovers.

the ice was getting thinner under me and you…

i’m tired.

there are days you just need to sit back, and take stock of all the things good in your life

so that the bad things don’t weigh you down.

my girlfriend has been the biggest factor on my list for as long as i’ve known her.

yum yum.

here’s a poem!

I am torn into so many pieces,
And I am waiting until the sun releases
Day and its light upon my lonely eyes,
That scan and search this forever dark sky,

For the small crescent of orange to open
Over the line of the so close horizon,
To separate heaven from my so literal earth,
And I may know where I stand and where to turn.

it’s like a book elegantly bound, but in a language you can’t read just yet…

po-et-tree.

i wrote this one a few years ago.

Talking to myself when there’s people around
I could make an effort to try and be social
But it’s not what I want and try as I might
I’ll stay where I am and I might as well enjoy it

I stare at the wall drawing pictures with the trails
That the lights leave in my eyes
And tracing imaginary shapes and fictitious tails
On the windows of strangers’ cars.

Does this mean I’m lost?
If it does, I don’t ever want to be found.
And we can change, but at what cost?
In these crowds, I’m so afraid to drown.

I’m slumped in the passenger seat,
With my head against the window
And my heart beneath my feet,
And everything I ever thought is on the radio.

I’m watching the water droplets on the window,
Hoping they’ll meet and join together.
Maybe they’ll feel less alone.
Maybe I’ll feel less alone.
