Seeing Through
I see through the pages
And I’ve waited for ages
To feel this vibration
Which sets my heart aflame
The gentleness
In your fingertips
Radiates respect
And deference
To the time long past
In which my story was born
I see through the pages
And I’ve waited for ages
To witness
A soul
Which shines like yours
Through your eyes
I see the warmth
Of the sunrise
And the ephemerality
Of each day
As the sun
Then sets
And you pull me close
In the darkness
And whisper into the night
I see through the pages
And I’ve waited for ages
As the beauty that is my story
Formed on your lips
Destroys me
As I beg you to love me
The way that I love you
If only I could rearrange
These phrases
The only words
I will ever know
How to speak
In such a way
That the idea of me
Could hold the reality of you
In a lover’s embrace
I see through the pages
And I’ve waited for ages
Can you feel
How I desire you?
How I hoard your presence
Because I can’t get enough
And I know
My story is ending
And I fear
You won’t love me
The way that I love you
And you’ll close my book
When it ends
And never
Open it
Again
I see through the pages
And I’ve waited for ages
Only to learn
The bittersweet taste
Of unrequited love
You are reading the last page
Of my story
And tears
Are in your eyes
And for one moment
I can pretend
You feel for me
What I know is real
As you press my book
To your chest
And sigh
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye
You’re Real; I’m Not.
I love you,
But, my Darling,
You are real.
I am not,
I am solely a creation from someone's mind,
someone's imagination.
Just a creation,
An unreal,
Perhaps, one could say fake,
person of someone's imagination.
Just a thought,
that was nurtured into an idea
and then
an object,
but an unreal one,
one that cannot be
seen,
touched
or even
heard.
My Darling,
the only thing that is real,
however,
is your interest
in my character,
your sympathy,
your pity
and
your love.
Go spend it on something real.
And not imaginary.

Flesh and Book
Yeah you're nice
You're thoughtful
Your words carefully spun across the page like partners in a dance
You look amazing
Every fantasy
Brought to life in the way only fiction can ever possibly achieve
Yet my friend
You're not
The one I think of when I read about your exploits in romance
Your perfect traits
Pale when
Compared to the honest imperfections of my real love
In the end
You're just
A mirror that reflects the bits and pieces I see in another
And I would
Rather have
Warm flesh and blood in my arms than a cold book in my hands
A New Portrait in the Gallery
The man I love in the pages of a book
Walked into his portrait gallery one day
Only to discover a new painting of my face
He asked everyone how the portrait came in be in his gallery
He asked everyone who was the subject
No one knew
The was a strange card underneath giving a puzzling clue
It merely said you are loved
He couldn’t sleep so he kept coming back to the portrait trying to read the artist’s signature
The artist style was unfamiliar to him
He sent a message to his art seller in London to come post haste
On arrival the art seller explained that it was a self portrait of a new artist
Our hero asked could he meet her
The art seller said he had never meet her that he had arrived in his gallery to discover the painting with a note that it was for you
Our hero gave the seller a portrait of himself to put in the same place that she had left his painting with a note
The next day his portrait was gone with a thank you note left
She said she could not meet the kind sir as much as she wished to as they were from different worlds and different times
She did not explain she was real and he was her favorite character in literature
Somewhere Between
For someone, who isn’t mine,
on pages, unscripted and honest,
regards a love unfit, in definition, and rhyme.
At dark, long before light,
I sense your hunger, give wolfish chase,
in hopes to dream, to abscond.
Your warming touch, tickling my spine,
your gaze enrapt, demurely entranced.
Do you see me... Somewhere between the lines?
My life, my love, yours, always and forever,
with memories, giggles of mischievous trysts,
unfurling passions, arcane, and intoxicating.
Your gentle caress enchants, paramour,
a sultry scent, and unspoken song,
seduces the pulse from the signature prose.
Cradle these delicate words, my love,
to be in your arms again,
Find me there, somewhere between the lines.
Real (Love)
I see her in my head as she reads the words from my book. I love her. I long to be with her but she is real and I’m not. All I want is to hold her in the night and wash away all her insecurities though it will never happen. We’re simply from two different worlds; it doesn’t matter if we are soulmates.
I’ll take what I can get. Her love for me. The way her imagination keeps me alive in her subconscious. Though I might never get to kiss her or stay up stargazing with her in my arms, I guess this is enough. She knows we can’t be together so, to surive, she makes me my own worlds. And in these complex worlds she gives me the ability to help her like I want to.
I fell in love with a real girl, and she fell in love with me.
It doesn’t matter we live in different worlds.
She keeps me alive in her imagination.
Spoils me with love and sometimes pain.
But we keep each other company in the toughest times.
I’ll always love her.
Even though one day, she might leave or forget me for while.
I’ll always be there for her in the back of her mind.
I spit into this world...
Why did i come to the damn world?
deception and pain everywhere
my heart is full of pain and old
i don't see the point in living
i spit into this world!
Why did i come to the damn world?
why is man so stupid and crazy?
he doesn't understand me at all, not even you
because you are not as weak as I am!
i spit into this world!
All people are stupid
all places are dirty
I do only one thing in this world:
i spit into this world!
Longing To Be With You
U see me
I see you
U want to be with me
like
I want to be with u
I try to keep your attention all on me
in hopes my pages keep u here with me
But alas we can’t because you’re real
But my pages can’t stop longing for u
If only my love can transcend through the book and reach the gateway to your heart
then can I be free
