Each Cut

Strips me of my pain
Infuses pain with serenity
Drains the curse
Off my veins
Drives the demons
Out of my mind

But what happens
When each cut no longer
Purifies?

My Love

Oh the flame in your eyes
That engulfs me,
That I can't help
But get lost in
Enlivens me
The brisk wind comes
Whistling past my ear
Yet all I hear is your
Velvety voice
Whispering a promise
Of forever

Nocturnal Eyes

Indulging in the pleasures of Luna,
Nocturnal eyes see beyond
Moonlight

The night is an enticing incentive
Luring us to dare be a part
Of a velvet heart that sings
The lullaby

"That which we create in the
Midst of others' dream is pure,
And most of all, true"

At the end of each note
Is a prelude to another
Evoking creativity that stems
And can only be nurtured
In the night
Yet flourishes in daylight

At the night's darkest hue
Patching syllable after syllable
Evoking stories that have
Begun to be to told

Indulging in the pleasures of Luna,
Nocturnal eyes see beyond moonlight

Routine

This routine,
Swallowing us whole
Both of us tangled within
It's the same rotating circle
Words are just said
To keep peace in between turns
We're looking for other incentives
To keep insanity at bay

Four Seasons

I met you as Spring
Lingered around the corner
Petals changed color
Turning earthly tones to beautiful
Vibrant shades
Trees rejuvenated,
And I watched as they
Resurrected themselves
While you resurrected me

I loved you
Through Summer
When the days under the sun
Seemed prolonged and
The nights could be compared to
Snow white's 7 friends
We walked under the
Blooming blue skies
With tiny crystal stars
Littering the skies
And became nocturnal angels

Melancholy
Found me in Autumn
When you broke me
And buried me under
A thick foliage of tired leaves
Just as they fell in agony from where
They thought they belonged
The night sky turned grey,
The possibility of
Summer returning declined,
As Winter starts to mark her territory

Sadly,
Winter enveloped me in her arms
And colored my bones
All I thought of was
How you and Autumn betrayed me

Self Portrait

When the painting withers
From the pungent smell of life
A new pattern shall emerge
Covering all your imperfections
Your blackened heart
Shall shimmer with vibrant hues
You'll paint in the joy
Never blotching the canvas
Not a smear will profane
Not a splatter will alter
The stroke of beauty
That shall come to life

The Past

Lately I've been thinking of the past
Thinking of how we came to be and how quickly we lost our way

Our forever was too short
But the fights seemed prolonged
You always got the reaction you wanted and my vanity betrayed me
Your love is bliss
And I'll hold onto you
And your love because it's the calm at the eye of the storm
I wonder if u think of me as much as I think of you
Or if you even think of me at all
I remember everything about you
But I'd understand if you didn't

Oh how I miss your touch
I miss your embrace when we met in the dark
Those chocolate tinged eyes that gave me a view to your soul
Now I'm stuck replaying the sweet melody of your voice in my head
It's the only way
I get to hear your voice

Will u come back to me if and when I tell u that I am sorry?
That this time, I'll think of 'us' instead of 'me'?

I miss You

I miss him
