All my connections are dry
Just like bugs working street lights in vain
Arms folded over my chest hoping to -
slow my angry heart
A script without a thespian to play the part
The candle succumbing , drowning in
liquid wax
Mind under four sided attack
Boxcars without engines lie dead on the tracks* ....

Dread of losing haunts my fantasies,
Terrified of where destiny leads me.

Will my goals reach the top of the hill,
Or fall while trying to find my path?

My quest cannot predict the future,
It’s a guideline that will lead to my journey.

Disciplining myself through determination,
Trying to climb the mountain of dreams.

Fighting challenges in this war on failing,
Combating the obstacles of life’s adversities.

Soaring to the cliff with the aim to prevail,
Driven by the soul to achieve pure victory.

Finally reaching the top of the high peak,
Success has conquered the fear of failure.
When my finger met the paper, in a brief love affair, it took my blood as a trophy.
Then the red droplets created a beautiful mess as they sank into the dead white wood.
It stung badly, and it continued to hurt as I went on a mission to find a bandage that
could keep the crimson art inside of me, instead of spilling it everywhere.
When I wiped the excess blood away I saw nothing, yet I was still in pain.
But what hurts the most right now is my heart, because just like I couldn’t
see the papercut, you can’t see my broken heart either, and it is bleeding heavily.
Because of you.
And I can’t seem to find a bandage big enough to heal the
hole you left in my dying heart.
I am so happy that my poem was selected as a daily. That is so unbelievable on so many levels. Thank you so very much to all of your comments, likes and reposts. It means the world to me! :)
Why do say love is blind or is for fools?
You drown your blankets with seas from your eyes. Convincing yourself your chest is not one full of treasure, but needles at war with your heart.

Is this what you call love?
This is infatuation, it's lust, it's desire to benefit yourself with no regards for the one you burn towards.

Will you not learn from nature?
trees revive you with oxygen as you breathe. the rivers feed the clouds and the clouds rain and feed the rivers.

Where is sorrow there?
Where are the needles you curse?

Leave your sorrows, they are not worthy of You. Realise that Love is a circle of beneficence, sacrificing itself for the welfare of others.
Wipe your tears and seek for wisdom for where there is wisdom you'll find truth and love
There's pleanty of scope I hear people say,
scope for things that could make your day
roll it all out like a giant rug
give your shoulders an expectent shrug
not the time to reflect on the past
those fading memories never last
grasp your dreams by the tail
the futures waiting to set sail.

*If I were a poem
I’d ask you to fold me up
and put me in your pocket,
then at the end of the week,
toss me in the wash
with the rest of the clothes

And when you find me later,
smudged and smeared,
ripped and tattered into
little unrecognizable pieces,
don’t worry about it,
I was already like that

Rose petals bloom
in your smile's inspiration
Sunsets begin
with the glow in your eyes

Hummingbirds sing
of your heart's destination
Perfect your skin
under warm summer skies

Whispering sonnets
this night as you slumber
Hoping your dreams
are a beautiful view

So when you wake
you will know what I'm seeing
Every moment
that I look at you
A silent and dark night
I heard some sounds waiting to recover sight
A sound lead by tumultuous whispers
Afraid of darkness afraid to fight

Suddenly a hissy sound
Silence deepens the soul of man
Comforted by peace
Structure of light contour so faint

Nocturnal Trances
Untold stories unfold fragrances
holding emotion in
Uncontrolled animalistic instinct

Fear of death
Paranoid to lose my breath
Dark inquiries
Ascending to my death

Fire burning flesh
My spirit being consumed within
Finally ending
Colossal sensations held in

JESUS RESCUED ME
BY BLOOD BY GRACE
I LOVE YOU LORD
I THANK YOU EVERY DAY

Just Me R
I wonder what she thinks about
Confined to her bed
A life long gone with only memories in her head

I wonder what she thinks about
Carefree as a child?
When she could be playful, free and wild

I wonder what she thinks about
The man she took as her husband
The happily ever after that was never bound

I wonder what she thinks about
When she had her kids at home
To love and care and nurture us, as we were her own

I wonder what she thinks about
Was she sad when we moved away?
Did she feel alone and abandoned as we went about our day?

I wonder what she thinks about
Laying motionless in her hell
A life that has now passed with only memories in an empty shell
I love you mum. You sacrificed so much. I wish I could make you better.  You are my life. X
