Secret

This notebook and I share a secret,
which I will never reveal.

This notebook, on the other hand,
has at times sleighted me slightly.

This notebook is not to be trusted,
for if I trust it, I may be betrayed.

This notebook and I share a secret;
it will never be told lest I talk.

Thanks to all the readers!

Just to Have Her Close

Just to Have Her Close

I'd give up my left arm to always be right beside her. My right arm for her to know she's what I have left and both arms to be able to hug her when's she away. I just don't think I have enough to give to get the courage to tell her when she's here.

Acceptance

Acceptance

I accept to stand
unseen
on the sidewalk,
on the river bank.

Random shadow for
playful drawings in the sand,
silent stir to birth ethereal fulness,
playground
to be left behind.

Hollowed.
Vacant.
A window-sill
for passing songs.
A borrowed
beating heart.

I accept to stand,
in scattered craving
for the wind
beyond.

[05.09.13]

Just trying to talk myself into keeping on...

Ramble

I can't even think of what to write at the moment
I don't have anybody to write for
None of my feelings can be described by words
Because they're feelings
Not tangible English.
There's thunder rumbling in the distance
And a football game blaring on the TV
But why is it that I still feel like a stranger
To even myself
After I've grown up with the same sounds my whole life
I guess I can't hear a comforting voice
Whispering through text messages anymore
I'm too picky about who I want to love
About who I want to love me
Even though I scramble for a touch when it's given
I can think of a million peoples' faces who I want to love
But they don't consist of who they used to
It doesn't consist of two anymore.

I'm so confused and I want someone to hug me again but I don't know who to ask.
