In my mind
I have been living
Three separate lives
Simultaneously
Interrogating  the presence of
My individual realization,

In the mirror I am
This voodoo man
He weaves a spell
Turning heaven into hell,
Like the Wild Wild West
Pain, sorrow are his paths
Where He cries everyone’s tears
A vulnerability that’s too real,
His collective realization ,

In the mirror I am
this understanding man
Who lingers in a pathway
That offers solace
A momentarily reprieve
From all that ails him
Where laughter still comes,
My higher realization ,

Then again

In the mirror I am
That man with the wings ,
Where I stay high above all
Turns hell into heaven
Where the light remains lit
In the darkness that is mine.

Sweet magical man
With a magical heart.

In the mirror all at once!
I Don’t Belong Here!

You.

You've been searching for beauty around you
Without realizing it was right there inside you
All along.
You are beautiful, beyond the universe.
You are the universe itself, unravelling before my eyes.

You are.

The sun no longer
Makes me cry
I refuse to love a lie

I can't express
A color scheme
Wordless thoughts
Are all I see

In poetic tongue
My emotions confess
Beautiful words
When I'm a mess

I can't describe
A moonlit night
A star filled sky
I'm not that bright

But
When my feelings overflow
About to burst
About to blow
I run to my pen
To save my soul!

The sun no longer
Makes me cry
I refuse to love a lie

the silence is louder than we think
try our best to avoid it
it listens
just waiting to be heard
at the very last moment

embrace it
‘til it becomes a comforting tune 

to know that one day
  we’ll get there

there is no escape
from the
silence.
embrace the silence up ahead, but do not let it deafen you.

The person I have to marry before anyone else -
is myself
"To love and to hold"
"In sickness and in health"
'Til death do us part"
All of these are concepts that come short
If we do not learn to love ourselves completely

We cannot give what we do not have
We only yearn to have what we cannot give
We always fail to realize that the love
We've been looking for was right there all along
Inside us
Waiting for the oath it needed to hear long ago —

"Today, I forgive myself
Today, I trust myself
Today, I accept myself no matter what
And I'll never ever leave myself alone,
'Til my very last breath.

This, my solemn vow."

I'm learning to love myself better than ever
And though I fall, I shall try all over again
And remind myself as much as I have to
Until it becomes real.

Love is really a journey you take with yourself -
You just need to be brave enough to see it.
Inspired by a Ted-Ed talk by Tracy McMillan.

"We are beginners at truly loving ourselves."

You're playing in my dream
Yet not next to me,
You don't know me
Yet didn't hear my scream!

I want to walk with you
On the holy supermoon
God will grant my boon
If my love's pure and true!

Your eyes are so magical
I am melting into there
There's nothing to fear
If you wanna me to be invisible.

One day you'll feel my love
and smile at me, I know
You'll love me even though
I'm gone to reach my grave!

Warm it up while we're apart
With your hands, a sanctuary long overdue
As I hold yours, and protect it through and through
Tonight, we sing the most beautiful song
Written for two, for a world more known
Outside, the storm continues and though that may be
But at this moment, at this point of time, you have found me
And I've found you, and I no longer want to hide
Because when I look the other way, I see you by my side
And it's a place I want to be, to come back to, a place to be happy
To live, to grow, to change, to see
Colours once unbeknownst to my eyes
A love that lasts even outside the goodbyes
So hold my heart, hold it close
Small as it is, it hopes, it loves, it trusts, and it knows
The poet in me is back and cheesier.
