My GeniusI feel warm inside
When I talk to you;
Alive,
But I am happy
When we're quiet too.
I am content to sit
With you next to me,
Or with my back
Pressed against yours,
Even though we may be
Fixated on projects
Respectively.
Just being with you
Makes me feel complete.
You are the only one
That I don't mind
Being second to
In left-brained things,
Even though
I love to compete,
Because you are
My Genius.

ScienceReligion
is knowing the answers but not the questions

Philosophy
is knowing the questions but not the answers

Science
is knowing some questions and some answers
but having no idea how to put them together

Laughter and TearsThese people never judge you,
But they tell you when you're wrong.
They're the ones who hold your head up,
And remind you that you're strong.
They're the cause of half your laughter,
But they hold you through your tears.
They're the ones who always love you,
And who know your deepest fears.
Friends are the only people who
Always let you act like you.

Convince MeYou have the ability
To convince me,
If you tried.
I want to be persuaded
When you look
Into my eyes.
Please continue talking
Because your words
show me your view.
Maybe I'll believe them
When I feel
I've earned their truth.

Heart ThiefThere is a tightness
In my chest.
It feels like your hands are
Closing around my heart,
Because it feels
So hard to breathe!
I guess that's why
My heart is beating faster:
I am becoming oxygen-deprived.
It just isn't natural
To be choking on the air.
Hurry up, heart thief,
Go ahead and take your trophy.
But then again,
It isn't really stealing,
Since it was always yours
To start with.
How long does it take
To plan this kind of heist?

The Puppet MasterI try to never pull too hard-
Only direct or guide,
So I'll give you my advice
At the exactly perfect time.
My aim is always to be subtle,
Because you have to look good too.
I've assessed the situation,
And I know just what to do.
I'm not trying to be controlling,
It's just that I know how to win.
In the end, we'll all get our desire.
Don't resist me; just give in.

EternityI wouldn't want
To live for ever
I'd get bored, I think
After a few hundred decades

"Have you climbed Everest?"
"Yes, twenty times.
And the underwater ones as well."

"Alright, then. Swum the Amazon?"
"First thing I did, followed by the Nile."
"Flown?"
"Doesn't everyone?"

"Try the fugu."
"My favourite fish."
"Seriously?"
"I eat it every birthday."

Maybe, instead
I'll live for eighty years
And live more intensely
Than an immortal

Unless they find
A way to let us walk
With stars.

So we wouldn't have
To look and wonder
What they think
Of too-long
Lives.

Black Clouds"Black Clouds"

I tried reaching for the sky

But ended up on the ground

I could never reach that high

Therefore I'll see you around

But everywhere I go

Feels like black clouds are following me

Reaping what I sow

Mocking with its foul imagery

Striking on my parade everyday

Walking alone through pouring rain

Killing my light I have made

Swallowing my heart down the drain

Where I feel there's an endless hole

That everyone can see through

I started falling forever ago

And there's nothing I can do

Because everywhere I go

These black clouds keep following me

Reaping what I sow

Mocking with its foul imagery

Of broken bones and Fe

RelianceReliance

How do I know where I stand?

How do I know what I'm worth?

How do I know what I am?

If you don't tell me.

Face Me"Face Me"

So it seems now yet again

God has placed you in my sight

Its time to discuss this my dear friend

I wonder if we'll make it out alive

We need to help each other

If we are going to survive

But I would rather cover

My ashamed face and hide

But here in this time and space

For this moment I won't run

Here we are now face to face

I will not be outdone

I can feel you glaring

Staring at my weakened heart

The one that's always tearing

And ripping it apart

But this has got to stop

No more of this resentment

I will come out on top

I will gain my contentment

You were always such a pain

Our thoughts often collided

Driving

I'll be fire-dressed
Flame-wrapped
Darkness at my feet
I'll be in the dark
But not of it
I'll beat it down
Force it to bow
And swallow it whole

Because if I ever gave in
It would swallow me

Love?What is love?

Can you buy it? Can you sell it?

Is it easy to fake, or hard to fall in?

We say we love each other, but do we really mean it?

You say love is an easy game, but is it even worth playing?

Think. Would you rather fake your love for a stupid game, or wait and find that love that isn't a game?

Heavy RainI love the rain
It takes away the pain
It gives a new start
and makes some people create art

I love the rain
Cause it makes me feel like I got something to gain
It refreshes my soul
and makes me smell less foul

I love the rain
because when it's raining nobody can see my tears

Watching and WaitingI'm watching you watch me,
And, though my heart's begun to ache,
Waiting for a move, unmovingly.

Through walls, built accidentally,
Those that I now wish you would break,
I'm watching you watch me.

You navigated the debris
That fell like rain by my mistake,
Waiting for a move, unmovingly.

Our dance is choreographed naturally,
And so I know which step to take,
I'm watching you watch me.

I think about you constantly,
Even when I am not awake,
Waiting for a move, unmovingly.

I want more than a memory,
But now, for vain perfection's sake,
I'm watching you watch me,
Waiting for a move, unmovingly.

Asking the CloudsWe're another year older,
But you're not a day wiser.
Why do you keep arguing
When you know that I'm smarter?
The ways to you try to explain things,
Are completely untrue.
I thought I made it clear that
I am finished with you.

I guess you're the kind of child
That will never, ever change,
'Cause you're blindly controlled
By your selfish, insensitive ways.
Trying to show you reason
Is like asking the clouds not to rain.
Boy, you're driving me crazy!
Why can't you just go away?

We've been over these same fights.
Are you trying to annoy me?
If you are, then it's working.
Your stupid lies aren't worth my time.
You know, you're

Right now,
I'm supposed to be busy,
Since I have time lines
With deadlines to meet,
But I really want to be with you,
Because you're more important to me.
In not very long
Change will whisk you away,
But that's just the way life goes.
We are only promised
What we already have,
So let's make good
On the time we have left.

This is my 22nd poem for NaPoWriMo2012. It seems like only yesterday was April 1st and I was deciding to participate. Now the month is almost over! Wow, time flies.

With exams approaching, and friends re-dispersing throughout the world, I have only a few weeks to spend with some of my friends who live in other states, and even other countries. I am supposed to be only focusing on make up work from when I've been sick, but I want to badly to spend time with my friends before they're gone, since a lot of them are graduating this year, and I might not see them again.
