The TastingMmmm...I taste you in this fine wine,
with hints of the same fine line
I must walk with care.

Be it hand in hand or glass in hand,
either way knowing where I stand
along this path.

My fingers graze your rounded lip,
thirsting for a quenching sip
of rich complexity.

All once so tightly sealed within,
gradually begins to open,
releasing beautifully.

Holding strong on delicate limbs,
balanced and full, despite our whims;
or because of them.

Each delectable, intricate flavor
is given pause to be savored
in a timeless moment.

So deliciously bold, ripe and earthy;
yet playfully coy, cloaked in subtlety
and seasoned intensity.

We swirl in a t

Because You Make Me HappyI write when I am happy
I write when I am sad
I write when I am angry
I write when I am glad
I write because I feel
And tonight I write for you
For you make me happier
Than any who have come before

Through These EyesIn a city where it rains so much
How easy it is to just see gray
Not through these eyes though
These eyes see color everywhere
No sadness will be found in the rain
By me all that's found is joy and serenity
Each drop hitting the ground is a small symphony
I say let these tears of bliss fall from the sky
Breathe life into the plants
Quench the thirst of the city
This is what I see in a city so "gray"
And it is through these eyes
I catch a glimpse of something angelic
Inside of you,when I look into your eyes,
I can see it, feel it, deep inside of you
A mysterious elegance that pierces the heart
I know now, my queen, there is

EnigmaMystery is the element that bounds the unknown to reality
Something new to what we know
A world filled with secrecy to make it so

Mystery is the puzzle before the answer becomes clear
The silent riddle to discover
A hidden message to uncover

Mystery is words we hide to keep oneself unique
Those whispered words that no one hears
The fear of not knowing reappears

Mystery is what keeps us intrigued
The enigma itself remains in you
as it does in me

Stay this way... Stay unique
As this way there will always be something new to know
Even as we speak...

Ballad of the Doll MakerCome now; gather round! Men who are
Gentle, ladies fairer!
Hark now my words as I tell the
Tale of the Doll Maker!

There was once a youth, apprentic'd
To a master of old;
Who taught to his eager student
How to craft wooden dolls.

But these are not the toys girls play with,
For they resemble man,
And woman too; in size and look
They're finest in the land.

Now, th'apprentice was at the age
When he need'd to adore
A girl of his choosing; and sought his
Master's wisdom some more.

He search'd his teacher thoroughly,
Examining his brain,
So that in love, his ignorance
Will not fail him again.

The Master, agèd now and near
Done

MoonC'est mon amie la Lune
Dans ses yeux tendres chaque nuit je renais
Plus belle que le jour, plus vraie
Nue et en rêvant
Je peux courir le monde
Et elle m'inspire des mots
Que le soleil assécherait
C'est mon amie la Lune...

DreamThere he stands,
The man simply known as Dream.
He's different now, fallen from grace,
And risen back up to it.
He was a joyous man, but he was beaten,
Torn and scarred, starved and tormented.
How did he get past it all they question me.
I know the answer, only because I asked him myself.
This is what he said to me,
"You can only be broken so much,
Eventually they stop trying,
Then you take every scar,
Every fracture and shattered piece,
And turn them into strengths and advantages.
Since they can't hurt you anymore,
You have nothing left to fear."
He turned his tortured soul into flawlessness.
That is who he is now, a hap

The Lady of the WoodsHe sat up, suddenly alert. He was sure he'd heard something.
Looking around, he saw nothing but shadows, caused no doubt by the pale moonlight filtering through the branches of the trees. But he'd heard something, he was certain of it; albeit little more than a whisper. He attributed it to the rustling of the dead leaves coating the frozen earth, and went back to his book.
But the leaves lay stiff and immobile, as they had all night. There had been no breeze to make them whisper.
The rough bark of the tree dug into his back, and he struggled momentarily to reposition himself. As he did, the book fell from his grasp and tumbled to the grou

GoodbyeYou're so faraway.
You never breathe or say a thing.

You're a monster.
Torn to shreds without a word.

I'm a ghost.
Lost when you needed me the most.

I don't care.
You've let me down.

You're the cruel one.
Goodbye to you and all you've done.

Dying to be BeautifulDying to be beautiful
How far does it go
How deep can it get
How dark can it pull

When nothing holds you together
But layers of makeup on sunken cheeks
And your bones so frail they
Shatter from sobbing
Your heart so weak
You cannot risk loving

Your world so painful,
Through gray misty eyes
From the outline of ribs
To the protruding bone spines
I clearly see, you’re dying
Yes, dying to be beautiful

I wish somebody would tell you
The secret of beauty
It comes from the heart
The inside out
Not the outside in

But still how far will you go
How deep will you get
How dark will you go
Until you realize
You’re dying
Just to be

In everything I doIn the second it takes
For you to race through my mind
The world seems to have stopped
Just to give me time to savor the picture,
The one of you that never leaves my head
And the best part is I get to enjoy it often
For in everything I do, I think of you
You are my inspiration, my hope
Balance to my life is brought by you
So I thank you, my dear, my darling,
Queen and guardian of my heart,
For being yourself.

VacancyLife has kept going
Without your presence in it
On the outside
It all seems the same
But inside me
There is a vacancy
A room meant just for you
Letting my thoughts wander
They travel past your room
And I can only think
A single phrase
Tu me manques
I miss you

SadnessSadness had always been an active resident in the places I had lived.
It swelled and breathed and scented the breeze like the dying petals of spring,
floating through open windowpanes and settling like dust on the empty shelves.
Sometimes it just appeared without visible entry like the cobwebs that roost in those corners you had thought so clean just a day ago. Or it unraveled in the morning dew and graced the cold spring skies, scattered like hundreds of wandering stars only visible in the light of a window.

It would melt into my morning tea, cooling the little tornadoes of cream and sugar that spun around my spoon and it would pass behi

You are not an islandI have been alone. This man is an island.
The cliffs of my shoulder blades
hang heavy with grief, ore, suffering.
I am draped with the permanence of gravity,
So do not believe that you cannot move.
Come to me, water babes fully grown,

Allow yourself to be swept in salt and ash.
Tumble with your brothers into my arms
and be at peace, at last, on the shore.
I too was once drowned, but I arose
and as the caps melt, all things will erode
For no man is an island alone.

Have You Ever Felt This Way?Do you have any idea what it’s like?
To live every day, not knowing what day it is,
Because you just don’t care?
Because you are numb, you feel nothing….
Depression is not what people are telling you…
It’s not just a sadness, it’s more a feeling of nothingness
You smile and laugh, you feign happiness
But in reality you feel nothing,
You just know that is what you are supposed to do
And the last thing you want, is someone asking about it
So you just keep being a fake, and you survive
You lose track of the days
Because time goes by so slow when you can’t feel a thing
You feel as if you shouldn’

Who am I?Who am I?
A man who could walk all night
And never find what I am searching for
A man who could sit and think for hours
And not come up with the answer I need
A man who believes in love above all else
But doesn’t know what to do when it’s his
A man who reaches success
Only to throw it all away
A man who is struggling
Yet won’t ask for help
But is this really who I am?
Who am I?

DoubtFor a fraction of a second
I questioned it all
Everything you've ever said
Wondered how you really feel
Felt an emptiness I hadn't felt in years
Should I just leave you behind?
Forget you altogether?
Then, in just one more second
It was all back to how it should be
Was I just playing mind games with myself?
I'd like to think I was, I hope I was
Because you are amazing
And you bring me joy that no other can

Rain DropsRemember when I told you,
That rain was tears of joy?
My mind is telling me now,
Those are my tears that fall.
In my world full of rain,
Every drop is just for you

FinanceFinance is boring
I wish i was sleeping now
Someone shoot me please

MotivationThe fire burns inside
Motivation to succeed
I hope I've found it

FlowersFlowers are wilting
Dying slowly, so joyless
People buy them, why?

Your Light

I feel the warmth of the light
Living in my heart
Only you could give off such heat.
Vowing to do all I can do
Every second of every day
Your happiness is what I desire.
On this night I ask one thing of you
Understand, my dear, I love you
