22/F/Somewhere in my mind... Everything I write is mostly about my experiences, my feelings & my relationships. Sometimes only paper will listen to you.
Your glory Keeps me tethered and tethered and tethered to you .. My love for you like the sun Like the stars as they shine As the moon is so bright A fire blazing deep within my soul it cannot be extinguished Oceans deep within my soul; your waves keep me afloat.. the oxygen I need to breathe Like butterflies up in the air in the sky so blue ... I am floating ... Outer space like a blanket covering I feel your protection... My love for you like the endless darkness that surrounds us & you the star, twinkles ever so brightly in the vastness of it all... Splendid. Like a city on a hill ever so bright ... I am but a moth drawn to your brilliant flame & you my love are the light, the sun & the moon your glory.. keeping me tethered to you.

A love letter 💌
A free bird leaps on the back Of the wind and floats downstream Till the current ends and dips his wing In the orange suns rays And dares to claim the sky. But a BIRD that stalks down his narrow cage Can seldom see through his bars of rage His wings are clipped and his feet are tied So he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill Of things unknown but longed for still And his tune is heard on the distant hill for The caged bird sings of freedom. The free bird thinks of another breeze And the trade winds soft through The sighing trees And the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright Lawn and he names the sky his own. But a caged BIRD stands on the grave of dreams His shadow shouts on a nightmare scream His wings are clipped and his feet are tied So he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with A fearful trill of things unknown But longed for still and his Tune is heard on the distant hill For the caged bird sings of freedom.

I know why the caged bird sings
I’m afraid of the cold because it reminds me of how lonely I am No one to warm me up I cling to an empty bed My pillow, my cuddle buddy, soaking all my tears up I just wanted a warm body but I won’t give a piece of my soul for it Or hell I might as well be ****** What would I do for love? I’d rather stay in my loneliness than have someone use me or worst break my heart So I cling to my pillow, my heart in tact. I let the emptiness fill me up like a ***** sadness I cannot wash away I am afraid of the cold, because it reminds me of how lonely I am. However because of this, I am more hopeful than ever Because I know, no matter how cold it gets, the rain has to stop at some point to make way for the rainbow Just as the sun will always find a way to penetrate the dark clouds & clear a black sky So I know the cold I feel is not forever, my sun will come shining through and warm me up soon.

I am afraid of the cold.
I just want to know if you’re thinking of me as much as I am thinking of you.

Somewhere in your mind
Kiss me under a night sky full of stars & tell me you want me Let the moon shine as bright as the smile you put on my face Hold my hand & tell me you’ll stay forever Tell me that your favorite place is with me That home is wherever I am & wherever you are Dance with me in that silly way that makes me laugh & sing songs with me... & even though we’re out of tune It doesn’t matter because body & soul, you’re in tune with me Let your energy radiate like a bright sun across a blue sky with me & when the storm comes never leave me Be my shelter & I yours Laugh with me & cry with me... & when it’s all over I’ll hold this forget-me-not flower close to my heart.. eyes closed praying that we’ll meet again.

A simple love story.
We’re riding the wave in our finest boat. Not sure of our destination but we’re not worried because we’re together Up & down we go riding the Ocean waves Tide after tide, pushing against the current Back & forth we are drifting... until it’s not only the sea that’s making us sick My love for you overwhelming I am willing to die for you But you don’t feel the same So now... instead of going against the current we’re going against each other ...drowning out each other with our voices as loud as the thunder in the sky You throw your words like spears they pierce my heart & I feel the pain of you pulling away from me The current is drifting us further apart I thought my love was enough to save you To save us But how can you save something that doesn’t wanna be saved? Someone who doesn’t wanna be saved... This anchor isn’t strong enough to hold the boat tipping against the current The water raises & I figure this is the final straw ... I would throw you a lifeline but you would let me drown So in despair I choose myself You ruined me but you saved me.

so fast
her voice has a physical presence in the air like wafts of silk paper or the flap of (a) butterfly's wings something delicate and smooth calm waters naught a ripple i am quiet with awe.

Operetta
Eradicate the words you once spoke to me They mean nothing Alleviate my pain & let me levitate I write these words to forget my pain Erase my memory & ease my agony No longer do I want to think of you Or how you made me feel Or how you made me fall in love with your brokenness Your smile, warm felt like home But now that home is just a house with skeletons How i wish I could burn down that house Expunge it from existence alongside all the love I have for you “Erase my memory & ease my pain...” These words a prophecy yet to be fulfilled Oh how I live to see that day ... When your existence is finally obliterated From my memory
