and we danced within the flames
Our love was burnt away to ashes
but that fire will forever remain…
my tears fell down on the flames
The ashes of love we had
my future swept it away…
but
I’m standing tall
but I always stumble then fall…
but that same door you walked out of…
That reign of love you served to me
but I didn’t deserve the teary downpour
lies beside my hot cup of tea,
I dip my quill
and form prints of
treacly melody,
he asks me if I’ve been up all night
I nod and give the letter,
the wind blew furiously and clouds enshrouded the moon in night sky,
I couldn’t find warmth
but my heart burnt like fire,
so I spent my time
musing all night,
but today will be
because the moon has arrived,
my moon has arrived.
My back against the wall.
My eyes searching for a miracle
that would prevent me from falling.
Yet I search for hope.
Maybe there’s a light to this darkness.
A torch in this lightless room.
I wonder, where’s my destiny?
I ponder, where’s the way out?
A fake smile on my face.
Is this world a problem
Or am I unsolved?
My endless questions will begin,
Hoping for someone who’d be answering them.
I know the more I’ll be unwell.
To question my existence again.
Their typical thinking way.
My result would be despair, I knew.
My attempt went astray.
Clueless I stroll,
A fake smile on my face.
Is this world a
Or am I unsolved?
Ignored as a helmet, dismissed as a toy.
They say they love me,
But I don’t believe.
I’m convinced to leave.
Every ladder, I said I climbed for you.
You said, “Nope, not for me, it isn’t true.
You really don’t trust in what I do to have you.
Clueless I strolled,
Wearing a fake smile.
Now I realize,
The problem’s neither the world nor me,
Those are just the people messing around.
I will
Because I just can’t hold this mess anymore.
I’ll come out stronger and for no one’s sake.
I will prove who I am.
Because I know, I can be no less than my
One after another
Until she built a box
Stored
Who cares what she’s all about
Her cries and screams
Because she can’t get out
Love can be better, Love can be worse
Love can make you rich, Love can leave you broke
Love can be the punchline, Love can be the joke
Love can be as cool and refreshing as iced tea
Love can be robust like wine
Love is to choice, as back is to spine
Love is a rebel that crosses the line
Love can be angelic, Love can be demonic
Love is a drug that makes us all
Strangers to each other
Of sultry hot and dark
With an unforgettable taste
Tasted her for the first time
A creativity
Started oozing out smoothly
Poet felt an instant burst of energy
An exquisite parting gift from her
In the unaltered, you will find beauty and authenticity.
Where the woods served a purpose of
Destruction.
Thirst. The blazing fire of an
forest surrounds me, I am waiting on
to consume me.
Run! Run!
However trembling by the hoarse roar
of flames chasing me.
Run! Run!
Alert me. I looked ahead, and all I
was pain and horror.
Every tree reminded
Me of fear and sorrow.
Weary. I fell on to my knees. Desperate
catch a breath, yet all I inhaled was
Toxic fumes from the unforgiving flame.
Then a steady voice told me to look up at
the sky putting to death that insidious fire.
As that rain tapped my face, I felt whole again
I closed my eyes to immerse myself in its gentle touch.
When I opened them, I was at home.
Cold Hearted steps crunch into snow disrupting the silence of a world weighed down by cold and exhaled frosty breath lingers in the air like the icy ghost of a last kiss before disappearing without a goodbye
Fortitude Rolled out like a welcome mat I let you in without thinking- didn’t realize that with each step you took/ I would shrink. Now your footsteps are etched like a tattoo along the memory of my spine/ and I’ve struggled to shrug your weight off my shoulders but finally I am starting to straighten stacking vertebrae on top of vertebrae on top of vertebrae like the stones of a fortress wall so you’ll never walk over me again.
I didn’t know what to do
lemonade.
and then had fewer, but the rest continue to hang
in the basket
you’ll get in your car
and never come back
as this road finally takes you
where you
maybe one day
you’ll get in your car
all alone, but never lonely
you’ll turn on the ignition and start driving
without hesitation
with no destination and no restriction
just you and your car
maybe you’ll make friends along the way
maybe you’ll pick up some hitchhikers
and who knows, maybe you’ll even find love in some stranger’s eyes
but even if you’ll just stay on your own
you will wake up one morning
somewhere you’ve never been before
where no one knows your name
and you’ll feel free
like you never have before
you’ll find beauty in not belonging anywhere
you’ll find happiness inside yourself again
you’ll be that person, that you love so much
but said goodbye to so many days and nights ago
along the road you will find yourself again
hidden somewhere between bushes and stones
between the eyes of strangers and small villages
you will find yourself
standing in front of a dirty restroom mirror
looking at a
wild and free
smiling despite the knots in her hair
smiling, no matter what
one day
you’ll get in your
without thinking of you
but then, out of nowhere
my mind gets flooded with all these memories and pictures of you
and no matter how high and how strong I build my walls
eventually they’ll always cave
