Into Darkness
I want to scream
'til my throat bleeds red
As I begin to choke
On all of the words,
I've said.
You didn't even leave me hanging by a thread,
You left me.
You just left me
for the dead.

Maybe it's all in my head
The words you might have said were invented
Your messages unexistent

It's the strangest thing
To think you're in love
And then in the end
To not really know what it was.
In the end you start to question
"Does love even exist"?
Because I swear I think I would have
felt it by now if it did.
In the end one mans' hurt weighed on you
Reminds you of all the others
And how they all turned out to be
No different than each other.
In the end you see no light
But that's normal and that's okay
Because soon you will see a new light again
And you will forget all this pain.
That smile to come in the future
Will be worth all this mess
And so just remember these things, my dear
When you start to feel down and distressed.
I needed to write a pick-me-up today. Had a bad day.

Rain Music
 Nov 2016 Old Soul
Qweyku
Sometimes the rain falls
as if its penning poetry
to the rhythm of its own music;
a sonic tune of liquid tapestry.

Cleft from a sky immersed
in the scene of a tragedy.
It's tears,
the pitter-patter;
a solemn dance
for all humanity.

An ancient jig this fluid frolic
never tiring of its endless cycle
vesting and revisiting this terra firma
like a lover emasculating the earth
of its desert state,
or adding to its oceans
in a bid to be free.

But you’re here again, I’ve noticed
for even through windows
your music plays a clamorous
and rather brazen beat.

Take my hand, why don’t you?

Come.

Dance with me.

Her soundtrack
Plays deafening volumes to my soul
Drowning out the hum of the mundane
Trying not to make a false step or trip over my own feet
You dance to the rhythmn of her beat
I waltz into her arms, shimmy into her psyche
Two step over her frowns and walk it out onto her street
The music beckons, I can hear it
Calling me with its pulse, vibrations and crescendos complete
Give her your best moves and she will reward you
With nothing less than her heart
This is the soundtrack of her life
Make sure you play your part

You Are

Broken
And the sad thing is  that you'll never know
You'll never know all that you are to me

You are my smile, my joy, my laugh
You are my broken heartbeat
You are my song, my art, my writing
My 3:14 a.m. can't sleep poetry
You are my treasure, my great adventure
You are my wild and free
You are my
"I miss you"
"I love you"
"I need you"
You are every word that I speak
You are my princess, beauty to my beast
My happily ever after ending
You are my soulmate, the love of my life
And forever you'll be my always
You'll probably never read this, but if you do. I want you to know, I Love You
