Ezinne
Anger and pain in an instant all washed away,
My guilt and shame still decided to stay.

I hear it and I know I wouldn't
It calls me and I know I shouldn't.

I played it and let it play me.
I broke it, but I was the one who needed fixing.

Love and spotlight all fell at my feet,
Glory and praise all thrown at it.

Beautiful and majestic it sounds.
But within its soul, anxiety and insecurity clouds.

Once you start to play, there's no turning back.
Don't lose your focus and remember to stay on track.

Give into its sounds but ignore its calls.
This day I mark before you all.

Play wisely....
Everyone has their own way of reliving stress. My own way is music, and writing. This as well is my favorable instrument, and I desperately want to understand it and play it.
A sense of hope beginning to rise,
Just as quickly as the doubts that run through her mind.
Lost and frail,
Looking for a sense of peace that was once kept.
You are the King.
And as such,
A King always needs his jester.
A fool.
So she played the fool.

My once warm veins are now freezing cold
I’m no longer hanging on to the feelings for you that my heart used to hold.

I no longer need the validation I used to get from you
I have grown out of your shadow, I’m no longer hiding behind you.

I’m no longer holding on to the me I used to be
I’m no longer being held back by your narrow view of me.

My feelings for you have changed, there’s no turning back from this
I’m no longer spell bound by your charm from which I once could not resist.

Though the fire’s gone cold
the stories we have told
will never grow old
I need patience
Fighting for peace
But there is the silence,
The Darkening Abyss.

I used to dream
How we would kiss,
But there was that dim
And Frightening Abyss.

I used to look
For will without haste,
But You cruelly took
Me away from my place.

I used to think
That there was a thread
Which definitely linked
Mine and your head,

There was that cut
Right in the middle,
So I had to start
Resolving the riddle.

I used to dream
That you're standing near,
But things that I feel -
Are despair and fear.

I used to hope,
But now I do not,
I had to stop
Tying the knot.

How come  I mistook
My Love - with fear?
I dared not look
On my face without tears.

I tear apart
Your image within.
I knew from the start,
I never could win.
...
I need patience
To lower the risk
But there is the silence,
The Darkening Abyss.

The Darkening Abyss
Negates all my will.
Each second we kiss
My heart is in thrill…

I fall in its depths,
The Frightnening Abyss.
I can hear your steps,
Don't let go of me, please.

I fell in Abyss
And found there a thread.
The moment we kissed
I knew where it led.

Mistaken was I?
Or purely naive?
I didn't know why
I didn't just leave.

Totally captivated
Your arms within.
I doubtlessly stated -
I never could win.
He is a published poet
And I'm eagerly hoping
I'm about to unlock the secret
To turning my expressions
of torment
Into something that will be held
In equally high esteem

Finally he says
"The one thing I can tell you
Is that no one
wants to read about
your emotions anymore"

"Okay" I flatly reply.
