My Freedom Is In You

You touch me
Spiritually
Mentally
Emotionally
And physically

You consume me
Wholeheartedly
Confusingly
Intensely
And irrationally

You release me
Unconsciously
Willingly
Lovingly
And Freely

But I'm still here
Waiting
Impatiently

I chose you
I still do

Make or Break

I know a thing or two about promises
I know how easy it is for some people
To break the promises they make

But I've never been one of those people
And you won't find me walking away
From the promises that I've made

I made promises to you
Some aloud and
Some silently in my head

Regardless of the style
The promises I made to you
Won't ever be unsaid

A Promise

I'll be everything you ever wanted
And everything you'll always need

I Love You

Bump in the Road.

I still want to consider you.
But you're making it all
extremely difficult.

It's Undeniable

Nothing about us makes any sense at all
But I still miss you uncontrollably
And adore you unconditionally
You're still part of me undeniably
And I'm left trying to find the right way
To tell you goodbye
Unsuccessfully

Lucky

You know what you had.
And all you need to do...
Is think about that.

Earthy Words

I know that I met you for a reason
There isn't one doubt in my mind
But the reason why is amongst the answers
I'm still waiting here to find
I've always believed in destiny
Given myself freely to its path
I don't question or attempt control
Instead wash myself in mystery's bath
I've had brushes with complex
And pondered times a few
Past encounters with this fate
Has given me purpose to stay true
Now I've been called a dreamer
Naive and also young
The ability to feel is what counts
And I've felt since my life begun
So I choose this way every single day
Wear my uniformed swinging heart
Eternal hopelessly hopeful faith
Watch me turn disaster into art
To you I may seem young
Blaming me is for your own cover
Earthy words of wisdom
Shall be saved to give another

Full Stop.

It is what it is.

105 - Lines of Love Letters

So tell me where exactly
Do you draw your line
And at what point does it end
Or more to the crux
Could you perhaps tell me
If your pen ever really began

Or did I slip and miss
Perhaps normal was simply stated
Empty air and inflated fabrications
Deaf over sound waves
A break in connection
Change of heart and also its stations

Somewhere along the way
What's now painfully clear
You buried me whole in a bed of confuse
Amongst all the messages
And shoveled scribbled code
I failed to translate twisted, cryptic clues

But no more blotted blame
Goodbye to fate's wordy weight
Here's an ending that promises to be better
You write the scripts
I'll draw the lines
And create an ending to this tortured love letter

Know Me Better

And there it is. The exact reason why I can't and won't let you go. I've never laughed this much, or felt as bright and shiny as I do because of us. I see in you everything I hope you see in me too. So nothing else matters. The dramas, the misunderstandings, the insecurities. They're all part of our childish banter and the timid and tender souls we spend so much energy carrying every single day because the fear of being hurt or losing is just too scary to risk anything more for. Lets not be all those things anymore. Lets just be everything that was intended for us. Everything about it is and has been unexpected, intense, quick, real, honest, pure, outrageous, loving and above anything else... natural. Just you, me, Camilla and a couple of chickens. Forget you? Never.

Game Face

I can't listen anymore
Not one more word
Until you figure out 
Exactly what they mean 
And why you're uttering them to me 
Don't act so blase
As though it was all just a fling
You wouldn't still be around
If none of it meant anything
So find the guts already
To tell it to me straight
You wont regret it in the end
Quit arguing with fate

Rider

I'm lost for words
Unable to comprehend
The tangled riddles
We've put ourselves in
What do they mean?
The latest of our trends
Busy dissecting rhymes
Hoping one day it mends

Night Glow

Flicker little flame
Dance for me tonight
Inside your tiny cage
Your gift to me is light
Such beauty in your shape
Perfect form in pretty lines
I lose myself in your magic
Like stars when they collide
I'm hypnotised by the glow
You create here in this space
Without you it's all black
The dark always reveals his face
So please don't die out
Before the morning comes
Because I fell into his trap
But don't prove to me he won

Lonely Man

Don't bother me
With your quiet words
Or one liners
Thrown in on the side
A group of small letters
Huddled together
Will not replace a body
Or create an honest chapter
And your casual after thoughts
Wont be enough to fix
The empty mutters
That helped break all of this
So you're just wasting my time
You wont reel me back in
Marching triumphantly
Bucket of lies beneath your skin
And I wont bite the bait
Hanging limp from your line
We've been here before
I know the games in your mind
Check-mate on this round
I can predict your next move
And know what you'll do
To hide from what you'll lose
So next time you attempt
Or contemplate a ponder
Remind yourself of my words
When I say "please don't bother"
Go remove the tricks from your sleeve
And the rabbit from your hat
Take them somewhere else
Because I don't want one part of you back
Learn to leave it be
Return yourself to the fantasy
It's so much easier
To escape from this life's reality
You'll say goodbye to what is true
Erase all your could or would-have beens
But I'm living life real
Plan to soar up high over the seas
And you created a little world
It really is one of a kind
Alone and in control
It's your idea of paradise
And for now perhaps it is
A perfect land for just the one
But nothing lasts forever
Know what you did to us can't be undone
And one day far in the future
When I'm finished flying these skies
The lonely man in your reflection
Just may regret he said goodbye
To the girl with the boy
Who stood giving him her all
An honest heart offered dreams
Full of fairytale potential

Home Time

What I wouldn't give for a red wine 
And a little couch time
Just you and me
And our routine

Why Bother

If every extra word is irrelevant
Then so too is "Happy Birthday"
