Deep rivers run slow
Eyes met and tears flow
Calm unspoken passion
Loves unconditional ration
On top of the rainbow red
Petals of rose and incense in bed
Bridges built on labour and pain
Safe from trouble
Two lovers cuddle
Over and above the falling rain

I saw the rainbows in your eyes
And knew everything that looked
Back at you felt that same satisfaction

Here standing again
at the edge of the cliff,
struggling against the
force of the wind.
Drenched and cold,
thinking and wondering
what to do.
This is what I was seeking.
I wanted to feel the
storm in my bones.
Fearing what I want and
wanting what I fear.
Desiring and yearning for it,
yet distanced myself from it.
Never been more sure
about changing than now.
Angels are busy working and
trying to show visions
of heaven.
But here am I clawing the
ground trying to get hell for you.
Now I have to stop struggling,
for this striving and toiling are not
yielding desired fruits.
I'm so breathless from all this
going up and down
trying to make it work.
Rest is not so bad after all this
rigours of running around.
Dullness has taken over the heart
of one who suppose to rule.
Stagnation cannot be tolerated
and condoned or we all go down.
Change is needful urgently.
It is time for you to learn the balance.
I bring from the east,
I bring from the west,
I bring from the south,
I bring from the north
the power of balance.
It begins in the spirit.
We can balance anything.
Our voice, our work, our body.
You can even balance your sadness.
First you find patience.
Perhaps you will meet patience in this
sunlight and become good friends.
I will tell you again.
I will tell you again and again
until your inside knows.
It takes a long time to learn the art of balance.

Don't be wary of me
when I don't respond
and reciprocate
to your soul calling out
to me for love.
I can hear you
for deafness is not among
my many failings.
My heart may not be listening,
for it's not yet awake
and aware of the soul call
or capable of loving such a one
by reason of my brokenness.
Find a soul that can
tear down your broken heart,
replace it with his own
and crawl up in deep as
you can and be safe,
for this is Love.
Don't mess up what is so
important in your life just
because you are a little
unsure of who you are.
Our brokenness can be mended,
healed by bonding with the
ability of divine helpful hands.
For such is the beginning of
outpouring of the spirit drawing
the twin flames together binding
their souls as one.
Love must triumph over the mundane.

the provocative dress i wore tonight

made you wonder if i wore it for you

i could feel your stare the whole night

watching as my body flowed

underneath the fluorescent lights

you noticed all my details

how i held my drink in my hand

how deep my curves were

how all the men in the club,

were doing the same as you

the one thing you all failed to notice

is what i hid underneath

you all failed to see the scar above my lip

and the fact that i chew my nails too often

and the purple galaxies that litter my skin,

under the confines of my dress

I wanted you to love me because I'm truthful,
    But I forgot, there's always more fun in fiction.
