Poems

I traded my mind to save my soul.

“You’re a hopeless romantic!” Hopeful. I’m hopeful.

Love, do not be a worrier. You are a warrior. Rest, but never quit.

I fall in love so easily. All you need to do is exist.

My love, do not be surprised if you hear the setting sun whisper your name. He knows, I told him you’re the one.

There are oh so many people that have gotten to where I am now and who deserve to be mentioned, but I won’t be able to mention everyone; please forgive me. To my parents, for making me the man I am learning to love more and hate less – for giving me all they could even when they went without so I would never have to. To Leonie, first for saving my life and not knowing it so many times, and secondly for tolerating me. I love you. To Tori, whom a lot of the poetry was written in the…

Call it broken, Call it wretched, Call it unfinished, And give it my name.

If I could I’d live with you above the clouds, So nothing could ever rain on our parade (And time passes slower the higher the altitude).

For me, too much. For you, too little.

More answers Than questions. More keys Than locks.
