Haunting nights, wild winds
snarling skies in seas ablaze
I once burned a poem.
Ashen metaphors creeping in my sleep.

Why do you
always
let me hear
your melody
If you never
let me read
the lyrics?
Why do you
always
come to me
If you never
stay?
I want to dive
but you keep me
floating
upon the surface.
You asked why
it’s so hard
for me
to speak up
for myself.

I looked
into your eyes,
took a breath
that swallowed
you whole.

Inside is a girl
asking questions
and looking
for answers
her smile
would never
talk about.
For every boon there's a bane,
For every mad there's a sane.
For every love there's a hate,
For every human there's a mate.
For every word there's a rhyme,
For every emotion there's a mime.
For every ugly there's a beauty,
For every shirker there's a duty.
For every pain there's a pleasure,
For every heart there's an embrasuer.
For every belief there's a myth,
For every innocent there's some filth.
For every sinner there's a saint,
For every thought there's some taint.
For everything there's something.
We may survive for years
but live only in moments.
The beauty of life is that

It ends one day.
We are not free till

the last desire in

our hearts disappears

There is no better teacher than pain.
No better coach than sorrow.
As long as you make it through
'til tomorrow.
