Constant reality checks torment my solace, As I ever wonder if I shall pass with a lonely existence, The hardest thing I have to do is spectate the wondrous spectacle, Like a mirage in a desert. It’s like a never-ending trail to an oasis, while dieing of thirst; I cannot survive with out water, as I cannot survive without you. So confused with emotion I stumble onto forbidden paths, what seems to be a long needed answer, turns out to be another kick in the teeth as reality checks in, and my brain checks out. ‘Sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the things we want the most, even our dreams.’ A 3 word sentence I thought could flow so easily from these silent lips is held back by chains on the first and most important component, I… The last dream before I rebalance myself is of you, the soft touch of your hands, like silk being glided across the side of my face. My manacles evaporate and everything in the world seems to be perfect. There are no walls or barriers, just held back emotion, fearing the consequences of euphoria beyond anything imaginable because the person you wish to embrace and love forever may see things differently. What you must do is go out into the world and live, enjoy the time you have here; you have been given a gift from God. And if your impeccable joy comes around for both of you, heaven need not be in the sky, you have found it already. Love You… |

And if your impeccable joy comes around for both of you, heaven need not be in the sky, you have found it already. Love You… seeminly, the power and motive of love this gives a whole new meaning to fire on earth absolutely disarmingly honest and lovely I don't believe you will ever pass with a lonely existance, long as you feel a fidelity to love as such... |
