My turn
I’m going to
spin the bottle
no one ever even noticed me
in High School
our first kiss
needs to be perfect
you don’t get a redo

obsession …
— envy us
in the way they stay upsetting
themselves.

you’re setting yourself up for failure

possible optimism

two glasses
my other, half
fully blurry vision
they’re prescription
usually she has to squint
and hadn’t felt the planets tilt till now

in pursuit of riches
snapped twigs, and
perseverance
exhausted —
all my resources …
gone,
in the heat of the moment.

I’ll take your coat

from the ozone

questioning… me

myself,

I, was taught there was no such thing as a stupid question

second guessing…

why?

you were impolite.

Offensive words flew with such speed

Sweeping away everything in their way.

Only tears and hurts could my heart feed.

I was like a rusty anchor in the sea-bay.

"We won't see each other"- I've heard.

These were his last the cruelest words.

I wanted to howl like a wolf in the forest.

At that time even the sun was the borest.

Those words like the knives cut...

When I look at you, I see a future,
a place where our hearts meet, and
each day is a new chance to begin,
building dreams, brick by brick.

We start with the foundations of desire
and the plans for our love sketched in the stars...
Each word and each touch is a piece of a puzzle,
forming a home where love can blossom.

Life may be an unfinished building,
but with you, the construction n...

Imagine the feeling of love,

The feeling of belonging,

The feeling of a grand warmth,

That caresses with its tender strokes

The feeling of a fire that blazes so earnestly within

but is careful not to burn so deep

Lest  it hurts the heart to which one belongs.

I hope to one day experience and not imagine,

A love with the man for whom I was crafted, 

From whom a rib w...

Growing up i watched a plethora of superheroes,

And i was in awe at all of them,

Wonderwoman with her whip,

Spiderman with his webs,

Superman with his flight,

Not to forget the ethereal mermaids.

With everyday that passed,

I hoped and anticipated,

Prayed, yearned and cried,

that, I too, might be blessed with a superpower-

Something that would make me unique

Do You Remember.

Do you remember the good old days gone by.

Do you remember the days we only smiled.

Do you remember we would socialise with each other’s friends.

Do you remember on each other we could depend.

Do you remember when we made passionate love at night.

Do you remember when we had no need or wish to fight.

Do you remember the foreign lands on holidays in t...

I don't have the vocabulary to describe it
because there are no words in any language
that would do it justice

"hopefully we have a very long time before that happens"

it hit me.
im very likely going to spend the last half of my life 
on the outside of what i want,
looking in at what i deserve.
wondering if that will be me next.
will you be in someone elses eyes?
and how that perso...

Life ain’t play fair 

Prob be the reason why I can’t pay my fare

But somehow I still stayed loyal and fare 

I always tried to get it my own,

Just so I could pay my fare 

I’m down 20 to 30 in the middle of nowhere 

My heart ache

The pain I just wish I could shake 

I wish me and my bm 

Could just relate

Don’t think I’m gonna be a bad parent

In the fair of emotions, I lose my way
Among fruits and laughter, a mystery at play
Your eyes, like ripe avocados, invite me to peel
To take a chance, to discover what’s real

I want to know what love is
If it’s samba on sidewalks or a sorrowful fizz
Is it dancing in rain or a dream that won’t last?
A wish for the future, a tie to the past?

The clock ticks away, but my heart skips a bea...

Lady of the Night. ( Out of need)

It's 4:00 in the morning and it's pouring down again.

The rain is lashing against my misty window panes.

I can see halfway down the road under the streetlight.

There stands Mary, one of the ladies of the night.

Five nights a week Mary will be there, come rain or shine.

Just trying to survive not really committing any crime.

Mary has ...

The autumn sky began to sound like rain again

The drops of the rain will water the ground.

My thoughts and desires for sure will remain.

Perhaps romance nowadays was found.

I don’t like partings and sad glances so much,

I don't like saying "farewell" as such.

I know it's not forever but I don't like to part.

The partings always break my heart.

If only we were allo...

Have you seen the moon shining gently tonight?

Do you like the shadows it paints?

The moon shines upon me, 

As my feet touch the earth in this peaceful corner 

I can feel the softness of its light

I can see my shadow dancing with joy on the ground

The moonlight in this place 

Creates a painting of happiness 

Amidst the silence of life

I like this

What Do I Tell the Children.

I am a man I must accept the pain.

Another love I have lost again.

I freely gave you, my heart.

You happily tore it apart.

We welcomed you into our family.

Thinking we would all live quite happily.

Engaged you in my children's lives.

Believed all you're conceited lies.

You left us sitting on our own.

Just sadness and regret ...

Love and Hate. (What is the Difference)

What is the difference between love and hate, are they different because I find it impossible to separate.

Powerful feelings that gradually take control, all inhabiting and consuming leaving you nowhere to go.

Dictating your moods and all their swings, mixed and conflicting emotions they always seem to bring.

Slowly eradicating the inner san...

“You can't be offended by love

Whoever dreams about happiness

We are offended by indifference.”

(Lopez de Vega)

You can't be offended by love.

Love shouldn't hurt or punish.

Love should only give.

Love must help the grief vanish.

Love shouldn't bring pain,

Neither with evil nor with hell.

Love must forgive and remain

As a gift for the soul and bell.

The love we thought we had to give

Is an entirely different meaning of love we have now 

We came together as broken pieces 

Mending each other together separately 

While shielding our love from our own prejudice views

Individuals don’t have the strength to penetrate through 

Though we came close to letting our shield fall 

Quickly grabbing ahold because our hands loosened slig...

The little boy has cloudy eyes, yet no tears ever fall. 

The little boy often hides his voice behind a faint smile. 

The little boy grew into an adventurer, 

Singing along with the howling storm, 

Fighting the thunder that echoed across the sky, 

Confronting the sun that burned the horizon. 

The little boy has bones of steel. 

The little boy could be anything those...

I lobe u

You know this

The feeling is strong

Even if the spelling is wrong

My tiny stubby fingers

Take little time to linger

Over the disproportionate keys

Stubbing along with a head full of bees

You ask what I lobe best

As if I'm not up to the test

But my lengthy gaze tells you

It's me that sees you

Especially when the words arrive late

I lobe...

I hope me leaving sparked something in him.
Something that shows him that
not every sacrifice made 
in someone else's name
makes you noble.
that you can be selfish and still be a good person.
that staying where you know
you don't belong is
a crime against yourself.
that we have one life
and we should act accordingly.
and that I love him, still, so deeply.

She was poetry, a dance in the air
Moving lightly, like a verse floating there
Hair in the wind, unpretentious lines
Her smile illuminated cloudy times
He, a simple man, lived raw prose each day
With calloused hands, unaware of the way
Life in bold letters, beauty lost in the grind
Chapters predictable, meaning hard to find
At the craft fair, a sun shining bright
He watched from afar, not...
