"Matters of the Heart" - A Spoken Word Poem

This is a new concept I'm trying out; A poem within a poem. I think it offers an interesting dynamic. Hope you like it. 
Instrumental: "We're All Leaving" -Arcade Fire (From the "Her" Soundtrack)
Lyrics: 
In my dreams i lose the concept of time, its something that i don't really mind because its gonna take me a while to find out everything about you that i can, from the gentle touch of your hands to your toes in the sand of this beach devoid of reality, these brief moments that you've given me have brought me to the brink of insanity, but i simply don't care; your hair swaying with the wind, our beating hearts making up the only sound in between whispers that carry secrets too heavy to be heard aloud. 

You see, in my dreams every touch is gentle and warm, every kiss is filled with bliss, and every word that you say plays back in my head like the most beautiful song; and i struggle to hold on to the memories of the days where we laughed and played under the soft white bed sheets, the sweet smell of your perfume as you entered the room, those times where we would lay beside each other and smile as we stared at the moon, wondering if it was looking back at us and smiling too. 
In my dreams, forever never seems quite long enough. 
So if this is all the time we have, just don't wake me up. 
But in case you truly cant stay, ill leave you with a final poem:

"find me beneath the porcelain stars, amongst fragments of memories that define who we are,
touch me like a snowflake grazes a cheek, feel me like warm sand sinking under your feet,
And like lights that adorn the edges of streets, we touch the hearts of others as they pass through;
People will come in to our lives and eventually they'll leave, but what always remains...is how they changed you."

"In My Dreams" - A Spoken Word Poem

a much needed reread of an old piece of mine

it's 4:54 am and my head is too full for sleep

"There are all kinds of love in this world, but never the same love twice" - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Written and performed by Igor Oro.
Sample: "Heal" by Tom Odell

LYRICS
If my pen is a brush, then this page is my canvas. Every stroke is a memory soaked in sadness, every colour is an emotion that leaks from the soul, every painting a dream amidst the white background, like a photograph frozen in snow. 

They say the strongest shade of red comes from a bleeding heart; out of the pain of a love that's been torn apart. 

For me, that was you. I mean at some point i guess everyone plays the fool. No need to cover it up, I've shed my fair share of tears too. Manipulated and used, you played my heart out like a piano, until it finally bent out of tune. 

Now the sounds of my memories are lacking in clarity, lost in the deep end of this pool of disparity, sometimes i feel so close to you until i realize that you're actually way ahead of me. 

On this one way street i see you fade into the future, while i'm barely able to move; all i do anymore is listen to old record tapes that remind me of you, warm music that was once meant to sooth, now just feels like more salt on these wounds. 

Failed promises creep into my dreams at night. Constant reminders of all the things i didn't do to make this right, remnants of your scent and what you looked like flood my past and for a brief moment i get a chance to bask in our memories but they never last, i always wake up too fast. 
The inevitability of each morning, opening my eyes to the reality of not having you by my side, and as hard as I try to avoid it, I keep playing back that night when you told me your love wasn't true. That pain hit me like an arrow, pierced my heart and went straight through; now it just hurts with every thought of you. 


I did my best to make it seem like I didn't care, but it was an obvious bluff. When it comes to love, there is no such thing as too much -there is only not enough. And in the journey between this world and the world above, I wonder if the hearts final regret..is the fear that it may never have truly loved.

It's Too Late,this Is Goodbye. (Free Audio)

I thought this clip from Degrassi was phenomenal. It highlights the effects and the strong echo that suicide has with not only family but also friends and love-interests. Don't be blind to others feelings.

------------LYRICS------------
As I look out over this blue ocean view, I can't help but think I should be looking at it with you. 
I think you would have liked it too, 
how the sun glistens over the waves as they caress the shore, 
the way the sand wraps around your feet like walking on a cashmere floor,
the way the wind breezes past your golden blond hair, I’d stand there thinking...I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

You bring out the best in me, and I wish I could show you how that felt. 
I wish it wasn’t so hard to describe how some people seem to just…hold the world in their eyes.

A mystery with answers I hope I never find, 
one that defies explanation,
how else do you describe beauty that cannot be improved upon by the imagination?

I admit; sometimes I struggle with patience. 
Whenever I'm with you, a part of me can't help but want more, I wanna…adore you from a distance, 
sit next to you and just listen, 
open up to me again, your sensitivity I've missed it. 
What a thing to be young and in love, wrapped up in hugs and kisses, 
Hopes and wishes, the promise of the future; it can whatever we make it. 
Our fate is in the palm of our hands, we’ve just gotta be brave enough to create it. 

Look, I'm not ashamed to say it; I've lost my way more times than I can remember. But you’ve always been there to save me, even when I tell you I'm fine...even if I won't admit I need saving, somehow...you always seemed to know,
The silent language of lovers,
not saying a word but completely understanding each other. 

Just promise me you won't let go, 
it's easy to forget the special bonds people make. 
Time is…like an ocean, 
slowly washing old memories away. 
But I don't think I'll ever forget the warmth of your breath, 
like a gentle summer rain, 
or the passion in your eyes, 
an inextinguishable flame. 
Burning with every touch, I just can't help it
...I'm in love with this pain.

"Blue Ocean View" - A Spoken Word Poem

One thing you need to understand right off the bat: I am not a "naturally" talented writer. The beauty that you may find in these poems sometimes comes from places inside me that I hope you never have to find within yourselves. But if you do -or if you have-, perhaps you'll come across some consolation here. The poetry you find here -regardless of topic- is what has helped me to recover and get back on track with my life, and it has invariably shaped the man I am today...I hope it can help you as well. 

For those who may not know, I started the Ryehighproductions channel to share some of my work with only a few select friends and family who had requested that I post some of my poems online. Slowly, and without much intervention on my part, the channel grew quickly and attracted many people from all walks of life. 

Thank you all for taking some time to listen to my thoughts and stories; if you enjoy the content, please feel free to comment, like, and share!
