i see you

take my hand and believe me when i say i will stay with you by your side as your guide into tomorrow should you choose to walk away from this place before you know where it is you are going or how to get there.
i will be the one to remind you where you came from and why, and when you start to cry tears of what could've beens or take uncertain steps towards someplace you don't know where,
i'll stare into your eyes and try to find the right words to make you see the perfection i see in you.

i love you

i love you, but i am scared.
i'm scared by the way you retreat, leaving me behind hiding in the shadows of these memories that aren't mine enough to see clearly through the fog of past and present, as you go places i'm not allowed to follow. you come and go like the high tide of cold hostile waters, ever beckoning me further against a rocky shore. so where am i to go in these times of forced solitude, when all i want is to hold you against my skin, to wrap you around my body for all of time and let you into my soul?
i love you, but i'm scared.

blue eyes

her eyes are the bluest shade of the sky peeping through the scattered clouds of a gray day. every time i look into her soul, my heart skips a beat as if to say: don't walk away from this, not now because today's the day true love will find you. stick around and stay instead of finding reasons to hide the part of yourself that is true in love; the real you that seems to submerse in stagnant waters too often when you often shouldn't linger in such places at all. stand and fight for a life of freedom and choice, where happiness silences the voice of hypocrisy by the capacity to love another human being completely, completing the circle of my life where my fate is sealed by the stamp of your breath. it goes unsaid that without you, my world would be consumed by dread and doubts that would eventually suffocate the clarity in my head, squeezing out subtle screams of long-forgotten dreams into the darkness of obscure nights. you know i can't live like that. i can't live without the memory of your face, your smell, smooth touches against a waking dream i once had.
dare to stand looking into my eyes to see all the things life has promised us with each glance stitched into the inseams of places that cut us in the past. don't walk away from this, you'll say. stay with me and fight today. love me a way no other could. kiss me the way no other would. give me heaven on earth. unearth the rebirth of unmeasurable passion through rapture, and capture all of time in your arms to find the time to hold me forever. spend eternity consuming my body and soul till the end of our days when i'll turn to you and finally say back, to you my darling, i've never had a better reason to stay. i'm glad i didn't run away from this, and i love you.

higher

come off that mountain up in the sky,
come down here baby and don't you cry.
i'll make everything better, i'll make you high,
with just one kiss you'll soar and fly.
