DryUnderYourUmbrella

this moment- it is just one grain of time in comparison to the age of this earth. a speck of dust amongst the air that fills every space. and yet- it feels like all the bells in this world has started ringing. a euphony of chiming echoes ringing at the same time. the rest of the world stops in awe of this moment. all the charge from me and you running the lights in every city.

Alfresco adv., adj. The sun caught the edge of your wristwatch and momentarily blinded me from across the room. That's how I first saw you; even before we had officially met, I was already seeing stars. Beneficent adj. You let me share your frappuccino in the little coffee shop you took me to. There were idiots in the booth next to us shooting straws across the tables and we were so crowded our knees touched under the tables. But it was still perfect anyway watching you smile at me with whipped cream above your upper lip. Candid adj. I like how you use long words and keep your promises and the way your eyes widen when you're excited. You

you make the waters glisten like tiny diamonds half molten and trickling i see the same gleam in your eyes even in the darkness they shine and your simple voice so suave over the phone rings like a soft drum beat as you pluck the lightest tune on my heartstrings yet now it's still reverberating despite you being elsewhere those light fingers of yours tracing lines down my arms- a ballerina's dance prickling the nerves under my skin; a gentle tap dancer across my lips do you believe in love the same way i do? keep the words unspoken; love's too special to be rusted by our imperfections and maybe for once this rainbow you've painted acros

If you listen close enough Maybe you'll hear This world of mine falling apart, the echoing Defeat of life colliding against me And the silence when there's nothing left. It seems, over time Our hearts were not made to be flooded by our Endless flow of tears And our souls are too feeble to carry The weight of our misery. Do you remember The way it used to be When you put smiles upon my face And spoke words Which through my heart they touched Like a thousand butterfly wings brushing Against my soul, and a thousand Flickering candles warming within me Do you remember? And yet despite the weight of our memories How were w

In this world Where is the embrace I'm looking for Which not a thousand others could equal Where are you The person who will accept me And set free the butterflies within my soul And shift the darkness from my eyes. In this fading hope, Where do I go When in this loneliness There's no courage within me And a leap of faith might be all it takes. It seems fate comes and goes And in the end What can we do but blindly search Among the broken hearts and tortured souls Until we find someone to take a chance.

Had we enough time, maybe in words We would have found comfort Felt the way our heartbeats Danced a ballet, weaving together Soft ribbons between our souls And felt each tug When we strayed too far. But along our way Our eyes would search And to be found, sweet joys in others And felt the weight of ribbons Or gentle cobwebs bind our wrists How are we meant to be free When our lives are tangled so? Where in each day, gathered together- Our burden of chains, and in each pull They tighten, until we realise To be free, we must let go

Curious is my heart to know What if I had lain down with you on the grass So close that our arms touched Maybe in that gesture I would have found How giddy you could make my heart And how proud it would beat. The mysteries of love. If only I knew All the things in your mind As we sat around your pond And above were Little fluffy cushions of clouds And the warm rain that fell Were the little wingless angels Falling with Cupid and his arrow And in the freedom of falling I fell for you that day. I wonder, In the words we spoke And the silence between each one What you felt And behind the self-doubt What feelings might hav

Dreams Flickering images that dances above our eyes And invades our mind We fall from cliff edges and land into bottomless Pits of darkness Until we jolt awake in bed And our hammering heart is trying to tell us What if next time that was no dream And all the spiders we saw falling with us Had crawled into our mouth And scratched under our eyelids. Sometimes we drift along on little boats With the gentle sway of the sea rocking us And a taste of sea salt on the tip of our tongue And sometimes we forget to wake up As the water fills our nostrils And drags us under The heat burning until it seems We cannot differentiate ourse

Last night I slept with my leg Poking out the side of the bed Just to torture myself with the Fear the monsters would maul it off. And yet this proved a fickle distraction From the suffocation of the guilt You have thrown upon me. And there I lay with my only company On darkened nights- The mocking silence, which tugs at my heartstrings This is the silence and peace in your Mind as you sleep And at each sunrise It seems life has become more worthless And yet I must live with myself And know all the people I meet each day Doesn't deserve my presence For you say my heart is insincere And in your eyes, I am a thief Who robs

Droopy eyelids; I think it is time to say goodnight But I must stay There are still too many unspoken words And it is not right to end this way Believe me Everything you said was right Just give me the chance to show you I can be the person you want me to be And when the tears pass I will pretend you never affected me this way But since you've gone, my heart has collapsed And I wish I hadn't been such a fool To have spent my trust on you
