Addicted

They say that I'm an addict
Hooked on dopamine
The pleasure makes me write
It also makes me sing
When I hear the muse
She puts me on a higher plain
Don't call it an addiction
When I'm just avoiding pain

Flames

As we sit under a starlit sky
Crickets celebrate
In our private domain
The entire universe revolves
Around two flames
We are the reason it exists
It starts with us

Recline on the pillows
The evening has ended
So has the shower
We could use sleep
The clock lost its power
We're the masters of time
What's on your mind

I step quietly behind
Speak your name
Your insides tingle
We both smile
Our words love to mingle
They dive into the air
To caress our hearts

A Home

We build these houses
        to shelter our bodies
They give comfort through all of the storms

But we still need a home
        for our feelings
Thats why I've written these songs

Pillows and sheets
         bring us comfort
Our minds cannot sleep anyways

Love and desire
         still haunt us
But these songs will give them a place

Look at those buildings
         they're a symbol
Yet our feelings never grow old

Though these poems
          may seem trivial
How I feel won't be bartered or sold

Elephant

The moon shines on the glass
Dawn is coming soon
My thoughts in endless wandering
There is an elephant in the room

I have all one could work for
Hear that happy tune
The sound of waves exploding
There is an elephant in the room

A future filled with promise
Flowers are in bloom
The spring buds are swelling
There is an elephant in the room

Can I forget?

I miss you
The way the sun
warms my face
You warm my soul

Can I forget?
stay away from the sunset
hide from the dawn

I miss you
A pleasant breeze
upon my cheek
I feel you near

Can I forget?
Stay away from the sunset
Hide from the dawn

Malady

We held each other's attention
each other's mind
And sanity

But had to put it back
The messy room
A sight to see

Emotions all askew
Real life blurred
from fantasy

A delighted heart
Mixed up mind
All agree

Somehow we share
the exact same
malady
