Poetry in its rawest form, is not only literature but an inkwell filled with empathy and a parchment awaiting possibilities

When the burden is heavy and the travels are long .
Knowing the difference between need and want will determine if you survive the trip.
Always pack light

I promise to love you,
I promise to care,
I promise to hold you when no one is there,
Promise to respect you and put you first ,
I promise to kiss were ever it hurts,
I promise I’m yours so promise your mine,
And I promise to love you till the end of time

So beautiful this life is, A life that last forever,
Even the death of all mankind ,won’t gloom or grey my weather,
Because I’ve learned the truth, that can trick a mind so meek,
We all swim in tides that shift be strong and don’t you sink,
The winds of life gust about, and knock you off your feet,
Throws blows that take your breath,
and make it hard for you to speak,
Sends you out in a group, to travel a Maze so wicked ,
Most who make it aren’t the same, so you find your relationship shifted,
Ones you love are torn away and lost in rips of time,
And all you can do is overthink,
and battle with your mind,
Happiness is sadness just turned inside out,
There is a Silver-lining, in the cloud of doubt,
I know it’s not fair!,
The price we all have to pay,
Took your time to build so much,
Just to have it ripped away!,
But if your hearts like my heart,
Joy will come from pain,
Because if you learn like I learn, both are one and same
