All of the world is nothing,
life is war,
you aren’t here and can’t see
what this life is doing to me
the skin is the same
everthing else has shifted.
you may see the one you know
but you don’t know him,
he’s gone, replaced with me
can you learn to love through loss
let go of him and hold me.
We look the same, but we aren’t
there is so much to share with you
without a place to start
hold my hand,
please… this hurts
it’s been so long neglected friend
since my hand held you
moving into your seductive curves
that won’t soon be forgotten
etched silhouettes upon my mind
wondering why we left this
leaving unlived moments prematurely
there was promise with you
now fading from eternity
don’t believe you weren’t loved
you were, you are
I’ve been busy but that isn’t it
time can be made
I would’ve made time
flowers find time to bloom
opening themselves to the world
reveling fragrance and symmetry
inspiring generations to hold them
noticing their everything
my jealousy stems from this, my inability
remembering why we left this
unable to group words into fragrance
stanzas lacking symmetry
no on admires these words
not doing justice to her
so I left you, praying to bloom
at least for her, at least once.
Sitting here distressed,
longing to regress,
muses a mess.
Thoughts appear irrelevant
in shambled pieces,
every-one incoherent.
Pulsing hearts slow,
when eyes close
to the world.
Appearing empty
for a soul,
searching endlessly.
Mouth shut tight,
words then fight
to be written.

I’m not sure how to describe,
feelings I’m having inside.
of rhythmic pulses,
quickening,
a heart in distress.
of sly smiles,
appearing,
when I see your face.
of stars above,
shimmering,
speaking quietly in this place.
Soon the sun will shine
me waking,
the words I’ll find.
Then you’ll know how I feel,
dreams,
may then become real.
~paul
Somehow you stole this smile away,
faster than the droughts of the rain,
I should have seen it coming,
nothing ever works without pain.
Hoping that this time,
the rains might stay till harvest,
my hope was misplaced in you,
why,
how,
could you.
I’ll be fine,
for you I worry,
don’t forget me.

I honestly don’t remember who I wrote that for, it was way back in January and I found it in my room at home before I came here so I decided to put it up. It’s a beautiful day out so I might go outside and write for a while, I’m not sure yet.
Take Care and God Bless,
~paul
Knowing that when
I cast my eyes,
Upon the night time sky,
The exact same stars
Shone down on you,
Pulling us together
Through that view.
Of celestial bodies
So beautifully radiant,
Sending light to us.
So we can say that,
With upswept glances,
“I know you’re there,
just hoping you remember
that somebody who cares.”
Simple silhouettes fade from the start,
into the calm setting midnight dark,
moon light races, reaching all it can,
my mind wanders and finds you again,
your gentle nature is why I write,
words that can’t describe the sight,
ingrained in my eyes and thoughts of you,
cherishing the moments with one in view,
when sunlight rests upon your face,
everything else falls into place,
during those moments with nothing else in focus,
your presence is the only thing I notice
