Treasure

I have seen  shades of jade
i've felt kinds of agate
Green, red garnet
round pyrites
steel cold
frozen
dead
ice
...
I
t o o,
touched,
and got so
enchanted by
red rubies, purple
amethyst, red and pink
bamboo corals, emeralds as
green as the meadow, sparkling
crystals, shimmering, like diamonds.
...
But, these gems are a pale comparison
to what I keep and cherish deep inside...
...
I
have
this  o n e,
very  precious,
unparalleled treasure,
I could never live without...
the LIGHT of my life, HIS PRESENCE,
MY CREATOR,  MY  LORD,  MY G O D~
the LIGHT of my life, HIS PRESENCE,
I could never live without
unparalleled treasure,
very  precious,
this  o n e
have
I

Exhaustion

Exhaustion

I've grown tired of being there for you
To hold at night
When your mind
Suppresses your faith.
There for you to conquer
When you feel powerless.
There for you to love
When you feel generous.
You've stitched me up
With the thinnest of strings
That threaten to unravel
At the slightest touch
And you're anything but gentle.
Your carelessness keeps you unaware
And your incognizance renders you useless.
I've grown tired of holding you up
While my knees shake and quiver.
And I've grown tired of pouring my heart out
Into your impermeable hands.
And I've grown tired
Of growing tired.
I think I'll rest now.

Erosion

12:02 am

you said you'd drown in my tears

if it meant being with me

but you see, you were always under water

with one hand drowning in the density of my sobs

and the other over the surface holding her

— The End —
