SILENTLY

In every silence, I loved you.

Like a gentle breeze on a sunny day, I loved you.

Like the calm after a storm, I loved you.

Like a ray of light in darkness, I loved you.

Like a rainbow after the rain, I loved you.

With every breath I breathe, I love you.

QUESTION & ANSWER

.
Life is the question,
we live in it.

Death is the answer,
we leave with it.

the sickness within

the sickness within

there’s something deep inside my core,
It makes me sick – i can’t ignore.
It claws my chest, i try to flee,
but It won’t die – It lives in me.

It whispered, “you’re poison, the venom, the blight,”
and maybe It’s cruel… or maybe It is right.

Sleeping

I’ll never be alright
not completely
No matter how they might treat me
It lays still in my blood
creeping
Dormant for years
sleeping

Acceptance

I look back at my life
Thinking I could’ve done better
But I can’t change the past
So I look forward to the future

Future Present

When I read
poems from the past,
I barely understand them.

I try, yes—
but they are minds
from another time.

It takes time
to connect with them.

Then I imagine myself:
will they, in the future,
read the poems I write to you
and understand
anything at all?

THE CORNER OF MY ROOM

THE CORNER OF MY ROOM

Even in free summers,
I shiver with the cold of winters
in the corner of my room.

Even in sparkling spring,
I taste the loneliness of autumn
in the corner of my room.

Even in bright festivals,
I drown in dullness
in the corner of my room.

Even in a room full of living people,
I am dead........
in the corner of my room.

Turning my frustrations into poem

Earlier

You look
at me
like
I should
have met
you
yesterday
or
at least
a little bit
earlier
than today,
