Why is it so hard to be kind?

It doesn't even cost a dime.

If I had a wish,
what would I wish for?

I would wish for you
in the next life.

But then, would you ever wish
not to be with her?

I have let you go

then why do I

still find you

in my heart?

When new becomes old

it loses its value.

When old becomes ancient

it becomes priceless.

Today was a good day,
not by your standards, nay.
I did not lay on my bed
waiting for its end.
I cooked and cleaned
Laughed and danced
Almost like I was high
and glad to be alive.

It’s night now,
the euphoria is wearing off
I’m coming back to reality.

It’s gone now,
the bundle of energy
Gone on to possess someone else
Fool them into thinking all’s well.

Maybe it wasn’t really happiness
And all it ever was
was mania.

To be seen —
not as an object of desire,  
but as another human being.

To be seen—
for what she is made of,
for what strengths she carries within
and
not for what she covers her body with.

To be admired
not for her beautiful body
but for the beauty within.

Her voice to be heard
and not her screams.

To have dignity —
in life and in death.

To have self-respect.


Is it too much to ask for?

It almost happened.
I was almost good enough for him.
He almost took responsibility, our magnet pieces of love almost gathered,
Before the scene got all dim.

I never knew this would be my lesson,
In a closed book, an endless waiting session...
Now, the page turns on me and you,
The story is about to end, not with a goodbye, with the almost, in a blurry view...

Sudden sparks of light that hit the face right there,
When the eyes are closed and the vehicle is moving somewhere
That is drenched with golden caress of sun, totally bare.

I crave inventing a name for this event, completely pure,
The brain is an association machine, for sure.
"Suddenlight" my mind whispers, no need to feel unsure.

A definition as warm as our scene in my mind that i placed in a golden frame:
Flamecolored we were, in the end we both came,
Certainly, it was a mutual game...
suddenlight (n.)

1. The fleeting sensation of sunlight striking the face and closed eyelids, often while in motion, producing a golden, dreamlike glow.


2. A sudden spark of warmth or clarity felt as if from within.

I was just a misspelled word
you so easily erased
from the notebook of your life.

                  
Now,
how do I ever erase you —
the most beautiful poem of my heart?
