This is the tapestry of my soul
sewed in  sweat, trials and tears
each stitch a reminder of the vanished past when every episode
stood as a testament of life's most tempestuous years

but  I've resurrected from the ruins
of time and every scene I survey  now with serenity
even in the darkest of night
the brightest of light illuminates from my treasured tapestry.
* inspired by the preamble of Jane Taylor Hardy, a fellow-writer in HP--
many thanks, Jane

your personality came through the screen
your kind heart was potent
though you couldn't be seen
i felt you coursing through my veins
just after one day
this immediate connection
felt like our own version of heaven
were you the one?
i like him so much

There comes a point when you realize that you have only yourself
to blame.
You could have had any life you wanted, and you ended up here.
It was never a mistake.
You fought for this; you sacrificed and bled.
You had to know,
deep down,
how this was always going to end.
Whether you have found someone
or you’re all alone,

you must remember the best relationship you can have,
is the one with yourself.

I feel your comfort upon my skin,
And I bask in the light of your beauty.
The glow of spring is here again,
It is no longer dark and gloomy.

I watch the sunset blossom with warmth,
And I feel a sense of wonder.
The brilliant sun upon my face,
And my mind begins to ponder.

Why do I feel so empty inside,
With dreams so dim and foggy.
I see birds so free up in the sky,
And a chill spreads through my body.

The flowers are once again in bloom,
With scents that are alluring.
The feeling of dread remains unchanged,
I am alone and hurting.

I have a mask that hides my pain,
This smile of fake emotion.
I wish to fly away from here,
On a cloud above the ocean.
