"Emotionally imprisoned"
Feb. 14, 2019
Waiting to make it home, ambushed by Emotions
Imprisoned, I feel alone, star struck from a potion
Gravitating towards your speech, I'm emotionally Imprisoned
If happiness is what you seek, Hear my words, Don't just listen
fighting to keep it steady, In securing my room
Confining til I'm ready, I'll be home soon
Imprisoned for my behavior, and it's valentine's Day
Should I read this now or later, can you hear what I say
Stationed, placed in commission, waiting for your command
your heart and soul, I'm missing, now do you understand
Attracted, rendered bedazzled, weakness is exposed
My heart just stretched, it rattled, cause of you I suppose
"fluent inspiration"
July 14, 2019
mellifluously growing in an aesthetic flow
meticulously knowing where my attention goes
my fluent inspiration I'm delighted to make
an expedition to your heart-Now that's a trip to partake
expressing myself has me me nervous and bold
you're Jenny, I'm Harry, let's see what life has to hold
Inspired through your beliefs, no I'm fluently speaking
The entrance to your heart is my one true seeking
whether it's magically cast or scientifically explained
I won't dwell on the past, I look at you a again
Imagination's the start, my fluent inspiration
you're a world worth of art, the deepest temptation
I can make you laugh and I can make you smile
I can make you cherish that I am worth your while
we can keep this flowing and add to the prediction
Being a part of your life now that's a great description
"Summer's Love"
July 11, 2019
A shocking discovery, Do I answer to fate
My heart's in recovery, There's no room for mistakes
An elegant beauty, cast right out of a movie
As her eyesight moves me, her benevolence soothes me
Ah peculiar tattoo signified by its meaning
Are my feeling taboo, am I awake or am I dreaming
caught in your sight gives me the courage and might
Don't resist, please no fight, I may be someone to like
I've revealed my hand, and as I'm cautious, I stand
Did I fall, Did I land, Should I unravel my plan
you're my precious fantasy, my angelic Dove
Im at the peak of insanity, ooh my Summer's Love
Should I finish off now or just continue with lines
Should I just tell you How I'd like to have you as mines
My plan's just changed, Life's a continuous ring
I think I fell for the Strange, but that's a beautiful thing
