^{I'm shooting for the moon so maybe I'll hit a star.
I may not get close but maybe I won't be too far.
Hope's not always clear but I trust it's within view,
strap on my runners, jump the gates right on cue.
I may not be the fastest but I know I'll outwit,
so stop wasting your breath, give up and quit.}

See, Sins Make Us Who We Are

It’s fine to be swept up in a whirlpool of unexpected emotion at times and feel as if you’re being forced to walk the plank into a sea of unforgiving waves crashing against your chest threatening to crush your very insides because sometimes all we need is a little bit of a breakdown to spring back into the throngs of everyday life. Don’t be afraid when your heart bursts into flames and you feel the tendrils licking at your exposed throat. One day you’ll find the person who will drown you in their kisses and douse the flames and the smoke that expels from your lungs and escapes your mouth every day will be a constant r

Home-Schooled

do not teach me do not stand in front of a chalk dusty black board and expect me to listen do not bombard me with long phrases and dreary speeches and expect me to hang on to every word that falls out of your drooling mouth do not show me diagrams and pictures and expect me to tear apart the symbols and reach a deeper, more meaningful conclusion do not teach me, for i have already been taught i learned my arithmetic by counting each star in the sky every night until i knew my multiplication table forwards and backwards i learned history by listening to the stories whispered to me on windy days by trees that have lived

shoot me up

shoot me up, take me back down, leave me here a while and i'm sure i will feel loved again; sometime in the next five hours i'll wake up and remember you and everything might be okay. until then hang out the washing and take care of my daughter, pretend like i'm sleeping because i'm tired and look in on me every five minutes just to make sure, because you can't be anymore. it's deathday my love, and i thought when i'd die it would be on an elegant bed with velvet covers and my family gathered all around me but that's not what it is, it's me lying on the sofa because i can't walk anymore and you can't carry me up two flights of stairs; i

The Melody

Every day we...struggle to find ourselves, Struggle to find our faith, Struggle with learning to live with, Pain that has such a bitter taste Every night we...relive the day, The ones that came before, Thinking about the future, And what's in store And...then...we Fall asleep, And then we dream, Wondering just who... We will one day be On...our...knees... Living with love, living with laughter, Living every day, that's all that matters! On...our...knees... If we open our hearts, then we will see, The rhythm of our lives, the melody Every day we...reach out our hands, To someone who is in need of it, Someone who is a puzzl

Put it to Rest

I try to comfort you, But you stay silent. I try to talk to you, But you stay silent. I try to make you laugh, But you stay silent. I try to reconcile with you, But you stay silent. I try to be there for you, But you stay silent. I try to make you happy, But you stay silent. And every second, every minute, every hour that you stay silent eats away at me from the inside, I’m being ripped apart, tugged at, passed around, thrown out like a piece of trash. My heart is crumbling like the walls of a demolished building, it beats for you but you keep trying to suffocate it, you keep trying to drown it, you keep trying to hurt it - and it

I've loved but never been in Love

it looks nice, Hands held across the booth, soft-edged stars crinkled in the wilt of their eyes as they gaze to each other with the loveliest smiles. There's a warmth there, rivaling Venus That I can only feel glimpses of and some dark parts of me wonder if I'm capable of love at all Because while I have known this cloud-based feeling, Pouring storms of good intentions into the only world we share, hoping this time it will save you I fear that the only love I have is Word tied And writing you into metaphors and rummaging through screens is the closest I'll ever get to the Dreams I always wake up from.

Literature

This is love

In this empty room We stand together In silence In the darkness Our shattered hearts Bleeding together as one While the blood runs Through our cold skin This is what love is like Two broken people Sharing their pain Merging their empty souls We forget about the world Because we live in a world of our own United as one In an illusion of happiness

Ich bin

Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer schon hier war. Ich bin, der wacht, ich bin, der spricht. Ich bin der Hauch vom letzten Jahr. Ich bin die Nacht und bin die Früh. Ich bin der Mond (die Sonne nie). Ich bin das Wort, ich bin das Buch, ich bin, der all die Worte sucht, bin der Fürimmer, bin der Moment und der die Zeit manchmal verpennt. Aber ich bin. Ich bin der, alles, der nirgendwo zu Tod betrübt und liebesfroh. Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer bei dir war: Ich bin der Wind in deinem Haar.

Despoema de amor

Deveria lhe compor versos perfeitos Que homenageariam todo seu ser Te diria que o meu sonho é te ter Mas fico com preguiça e não faço tais feitos Diria que desbravaria todo o mundo Somente pra defender seu nome Só que eu esqueci dele, to usando um pronome, Então é melhor guardar isso num buraco fundo Doaria pra te uma parte de mim Se necessário até meu coração Mas na hora do transplante eu daria uma de fujão É melhor a essa estrofe eu dar um fim Falarei então que até Lua eu te daria Mas agora de me lembro de um problema: Não consigo nem sequer puxar

Desire

Your smooth skin, It drives me crazy I want to touch you, And just maybe, You...will let me... The look in your eyes, It really drives me wild I shouldn't be surprised, That you're so tempting... You are all I can see... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Controlling me I can see... The light in your eyes, Every time you see me... The beads of perspiration, Are rolling down your face As you look away, I lean in for a little taste, Because you let me... I can see your curves, Move underneath your shirt And I can't place a price, On what this moment's worth... So revealing... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Always controlling me I can s

Our Last Kiss

If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have inhaled you deeper within me. If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have seared your taste onto my tongue. If I had known it was our last kiss, I would have scorched your scent into my skin. ... If I had known, I would have frozen time ...
