Love Eternally

With all my heart I wish this moment would never come to a close

As a smile darts across your face and you begin to laugh

When everything ceases and all I see is you radiating gloriously

Glowing beautifully, blinding me from the distractions presented

With all my heart I pray each day I am able to be with you

Even for a fleeting moment to sustain my need. No! My addiction!

The constant craving where I cannot seem to remove you from my mind

And nothing else matter's, only you and your memory which cannot suffice

Love instantly. Love perfectly. Love ever-lasting.

Never Forgotten

When a beautiful soul is quickly ripped from this plane of existence
We can do nothing but weep, pray, mourn, and hope we are being looked down upon
Belief that beyond our rudimentary universe there is a gorgeous creation
In which our loved ones who have passed away can live again on the far side of our earthly concern

We trust that any suffering they seasoned while among us is relieved from them
And more so they are again in company of their beloved who were taken away
We desire them to once again be youthful and full of energy, forever young
Able to enjoy whatever brought a smile to their face while living beside us

I refuse to accept a reality in which everything is created so haphazardly and random
For I see and can realize the stunning beauty that surrounds me in all directions
And of course the horror of watching someone so cherished ripped from my grasp
So suddenly that I curse the heavens in spite and anger...and beyond that confusion

But soon enough my chaotic emotions dwindle to acceptance and the aforementioned hope
Hope and remembrance of the joy they brought us whenever in their presence
The honoring of the life they lived, their accomplishments and triumphs
And never forgetting the simple fact that even though physically they're not here

They will always stand beside us in spirit as long as our love stays always true

Nightlife

Remove the krylon top, I live in the night facing down bare walls
Brick and concrete, they transform into canvas before my eyes
Trucks, trains, and signs; you can even find me in bathroom stalls

I move in silence blending in under the moonlight above
Traversing city street’s and alleys with my bag in hand
Sketchbook and spray cans, this is what you call love

My name has no meaning, I’m known under my alias
I spread through whispers and hushed tones of admiration
Respect and accusation even beyond my hometown radius

I am a graffiti artist, an underground modern day knight
Persecuted by politicians and painted over on sight
But as one is censored two more will appear with light

Because while the world sleeps I will be painting every night

Building True Love

He held her in a tight, warm embrace
His arms clasp around her lovingly
And she could hear his heart beating
(For only her)

Their love was true, strong, and everlasting
Weathering the most devastating storms
And holding against the most turbulent waves
That would break any normal fragile relationship

But what they had was not fragile or frail
They had built their hearts together
Inch by inch, brick by brick
On a solid foundation

They created something so beautiful to last
Something constructed with a long-term vision
A future planned out where they could grow old
And age together and die together with the same love

But of course there are still faults and mistakes
And instead of continuing with only hopes
They add, tear down, and rebuild…fortify
Vowing that nothing will break what they cherish

And to this day their love is stronger
Their love is more complete than ever before
Their love is pure and true
And their love seems closer to forever

Love is random but true love is not by chance
True love is sculpted with care and compassion
It is learning from mistakes and moving forward
True love is built hand in hand and shared with each other

True love is making something to last beyond tomorrow

Mountains

I can see a treacherous mountain laid before me
I stand engulfed in it’s daunting shadow
Overwhelmed, ill-equipped, and fearing the climb
A climb among many easier paths, yet a climb I must make

This trek promises an inescapable obsession
It will haunt me in my sleep, it will haunt me in my wake
It will build me, break me, and leave me to bring myself upright
It will be unforgiving, merciless, cruel and cold-hearted

O! this path presents itself as an impossible feat
As if God has chosen my fate to be of defeat and failure
But no I say, rest assured I will take the prize which rests at it’s peak
To then descend stronger, accomplished, and victorious

As if I had bested the future given to me unwillingly

With unshakable wisdom I will best each and every test created to stump me
With unwavering courage I will rise above all which towers against me
With unfaltering passion I will break through any wall built before me
With unbelievable might I will beat down those who wish to oppose me

I will not look back
I will not second doubt
I will not slow down
I will not give up

I begin to walk
