Pay Back

It was more than I remembered and it was more than I could ever forget. You're more beautiful than my memories. Your laugh was like bells ringing in the night, ominous and joyfully familiar. The conversation came with ease. Not once did I feel forced to speak that which I did not believe. Not once did I feel my attention waver. It was certainly all eyes on you. It was comfortable yet new. My nerves disappeared with your mere presence. You have given me a great gift, the blessings of the gods surely. Though I don't sleep, I feel a slight measure of peace, one which all men strive to seek. You're vivid and clear in my mind's eye. One day I will pay it all back to you.

I Am A Contradiction

I know too much and I know too little. The desires within me are tempered and yet too wild, like an ecosystem constantly shifting and changing. I am too young and inexperienced, yet too old and wise for much of anything to be a surprise, and yet I'm surprised all the same. Serene like a pool of water yet violent like an exploding volcano, my sense of peace is constantly fleeting, yet the peace I know comes from the familiar constant battle within. I spend long days working towards my future yet forgetting to live in the moment, but the moment in which I live builds the basis for my future. Stars twinkle within my eyes, and sun sets in a fiery death. The blackness encroaches on my soul, yet it still feels lighter than a feather and brighter when I let it glow. I am happy with who I am, yet sad all the same for the journey to who I want to be seems endless, a winding road I must travel alone. I have made many friends, yet lost just as much. My touch can be hotter than fire, but if tu...
