...this ....thing you call love

By the broken

crismon rose petals

fall in the wind

butterflys in my stomach

the strange feeling within
 

i try to say

that i love you ....

hoping one day

that u will too
 

speaking these words of simple love

dreaming and thinking of you my turtle dove

its like a bolt of thunder from above
 

ripping my chest open

and heating this cold dead heart

stoping the sadness

so i can write something other then cold dead art
 

i put pen to paper as i watch the ocean

see ur face in the clouds in motion

using the this ....thing you call love

to create this sort of written love potion
