Sound of Silence

Ayda Zaire Sep 2017

Sound of Silence

In the loud noise of crushing silence
A withering voice of a heart in violence.

The chokehold of all the words I strangled in my throat.

Forsake My Poetry

Ayda Zaire Sep 2017

Forsake My Poetry

Nine to five and a sigh
Forsaken poesy goes to die.

The monotony of a sated dream.

To Them that I Lost

Ayda Zaire May 2016

To Them that I Lost

To all the men that I have loved and lost;
You had my heart but I let it frost.

Brave

Ayda Zaire Apr 2015

Brave

It is a rave,
That to expose is brave.
They are those who know not the pain
Of the courage it takes to contain.

A friend once told me it was the bravest thing to release one's heart, to blurt out and live in the moment.
My silence begged to differ.

I Hate that I Love you

Ayda Zaire Feb 2015

I Hate that I Love you

If I hated you long enough,
Would I end up loving you?

You

Ayda Zaire Feb 2015

You

You are brave
You are kind
You are strong
You are warm
You are wise
and You are mine.

To all those out there blessed enough to have and hold the ones they love.

Never

Ayda Zaire Feb 2015

Never

Those that I have loved
Have never understood me.
Those that have loved me,
I have never bothered to understand.
