I'm like a knot
in a hollow tree
With decay and rot
hidden just beneath
Which proves God can use
even the likes of me
One like a knot
in a hollow tree

I still have some branches  
with their share of green
Showing there's a chance
of life left in me
No matter how hard
the knot in the tree
Proof God can use
even the likes of me
It all started when I first saw you play
You did nothing but sit there and strum your guitar
I just couldn’t shake you off my mind
You have everything I want, you know
I then found myself messaging you on fb
It was a bold move for me
And boy I was glad I did it
Coz I got a reply from you
You were friendly enough to answer some of my queries
And that’s just it
Our conversation ended

Now I am stalking you on your social media accounts
Hope you won’t freak out
Not that you care
But please stay still
I wish no harm
And I am content to watch you from afar
Coz I know I will just be a fan
To the guy who loves to play and sing. You have all I want but I will not go too far. I know where I stand. But I want to be your friend
We have went different ways
A long, long time ago
Many moons have passed over us
Each one seems to slow

The crickets used to chirp
In the damp, and brisk night air
Now soft weeping, deep breathing
Is all there is to hear

Music used to sooth us
We listened tangled on the bed
Now the notes match the rhythm
But the songs are dead

Instruments collect dust
In the corner on their stand
So close is the Tranquility
But peace is a foreign land

We watched the tear drops form..
On the windows of our cell
Now alone with not but brokenness
You left me in this hell.
Depression
I ran my hands through your hair,
beautiful, tangled, and golden
your eyes are warm honey
in the winter,
and in autumn, the color
of fallen leaves,
I like the scattering of freckles
like a starry sky among your
soft, peachy cheeks,
and your smooth, worn hands
full of loving warmth, and care
In moments, I look up to see your
silhouette in the magnificent sunset
drowning the sky behind you,
a spread of pale red and violet
outlining your beautiful body,
and in the pale moonlight,
I love to watch you
dancing, your skin shimmering,
your feet as free as air,
your soul twinkling
among the stars.

Listen to the silence
It could open up your mind
Things inside your heart
Could be unwrapped and you will find

Listen to the raindrops
They could speak up a thousand words
How they could test your strength
You would catch a million swords

Listen to the wind
It could tell you a new story
A heart that makes a confession
Saying the mending word- sorry

Listen to my melody
It could be a song of pain
Seclusion maybe the best option
If someone dear will gain.
Everything speaks...
