and dear Lord, I am so glad that there is more to me than this.

One by one you’ve shown me,
The demons, of your mind,
Scars that they’ve left you,
And past specters hanging by.

You point to them and shudder,
Hug yourself and cry,
To quickly wipe away the tears,
To take my hand, and bring me, anywhere but here.

Through grey waste and hell-scape peaks,
To quaint and pretty things,
Shiny baubles in a broken land,
To stare at, and lock the mind away.

You stare downwards at the Earth,
Turning something in your hand,
I reach out and brush your face,
You glance up, by God, those brilliant eyes.

I take your chin and guide it up,
Too long you’ve viewed the floor,
Now gaze upon endless, starry night,
Look up, twinkling, hope is there.

Under gleaming angel night,
Darkness dares not tread,
Here your inner true self glows,
And your beauty ethereal, sublime.

Still I hold you close to me,
For fear lingers in the mind,
But, as ever, I gesture to the sky,
Watch with me, soon shall be, the glorious sunrise.
I wrote this poem for Satyn Steffes, in the hope it would put a smile on her face and remind her that things have a way of working out in the end . She asked me to post it, so here it is.

Gadis itu pulang dengan kepingan jiwanya
Berusaha untuk menahan segala rasa sakit
Semua ia simpan rapat-rapat walau tersirat dari matanya
Ia menghempaskan badan diatas tempat tidur
Sambil sesekali memijat keningnya, berharap rasa sakit tak akan hinggap kesana.

Lalu ia berusaha tak mengingat-ingat semuanya
Berharap entah bagaimana caranya agar ia mematikan perasaannya
Dalam hati ia bertanya "kapan terakhir kali kau bahagia?"
Tak ada satupun yang bisa menjawab pertanyaan itu
Ia hanya menatap langit-langit kamar  sambil tersenyum pahit.

"Yah, begitulah realita hidupmu. Tersiksa karena jatuh berkali-kali untuk orang yang salah"
Otaknya berbicara pada hati yang masih kukuh membela perasaan yang ia punya
Ia tak bisa lagi menampik bahwa kepala dan hatinya setelah ini tak akan pernah ada di kubu yang sama
Karena kelalaian hatinya lah ia berada disini sehingga logika menghukum hati itu, menutup pintunya rapat-rapat dan menenggelamkan kuncinya kedalam samudera pemikirannya.

Suara hujan mengiringi gadis itu
Tak terasa satu demi satu tetes air mata mengalir
Ia hanya bisa memejamkan mata dan berkata
"Aku sudah tak punya hati lagi"
