Living in the vastness that feeds us.
Ever jealous…
of the ocean’s generosity.
Our love
was never meant to be caged.
Fish don’t hold the sacred liquid in cups,
they swim
the huge, fluid freedom.
So why…
why try to capture the sea?
When we
you and I
can move through it fearless,
like the great white…
in all its grace.

My shy lover,
with her pretentious persona
she feels, but can’t express.
Marshmallow-like beneath her hard shell.
A free bird, yet her thoughts enslave.
She hurts, but never retaliates.
Anxious, yet patient.
Easy to love, harder to decipher.
Not easily in love, yet she makes loving easy.
From a total stranger
to the most familiar.
Even Antarah would be jealous
of my love for her.

Time is money, time is wealth.
Time deceives – she is lawless.
Gentle in her approach, a fine seductress.
She has no prerogatives – so be wary.
She gives when she loves,
Merciless when she collects.
Tick-Tock – she's gone,
But her charms remain.

The uncertainties of tomorrow
turn pain into laughter.
Gloomed looks and dark circles
turn tears into heartache.
A heart plagued
by sacred oaths broken.
True wealth lives
in a lover’s tears
but, “boys don’t cry”.

She was falling in love,
I was falling apart.
Entrapped in a labyrinth
of my creation.
Bound by expectations,
a hopeless romantic.
Sipping away my sorrows
water so crystal
wishing my thoughts were clearer

It’s raining,
And I wish you were here.
Because, and I know it’s cliché,
But I’m falling a lot harder
Than this rain, and dear,
It’s torrential here.
But these sheets of rain
Remind me of the sheets we share,
And I’d just as quickly
Wrap myself up in them
If I thought you were in there, too.
It’s 101° there.
But here it’s raining.
And I miss you.

Forever was never a given,
But hopeful I was.
The promises made still hold.
I refuse to give this love to anyone else
Because —
I love you still,
But you love me less.

My unexpected arrivals,
beautiful yet ugly....
Each carry a story,
The souvenirs I carry
Protruding and innocent,
Each one a journey
