Run. Walk. Crawl, but move.
The Turnstile is not an obstacle,
It’s simply there to prove.
That the destination is available -
Once you’ve paid your due.
my heart is an ocean
unpredictable
calm and stormy
a blue force
that hides thousands of secrets

many have wandered
out on my untameable seas
but my waves have dragged them
my love drowned them

but you
you are the only one
that can sail through my heart
the only sailor
who knows the ways
knows what will happen next
you know the semantics
know the secrets bellow
you know what places to approach
and which ones are better to stay far

and it pains me so much
that after months of sailing around
you always go back to the land
haven’t written in so long... i’ve been lacking inspiration; but the other they i cruised by the shore, and this is what came out of it
And I shall paint dreams to match my life
in a majestic landscape,
where dancing steps move below sunlit sky.

Where birds feathers become my brush
and breath the power to guide canvas-like path.

Where Michelangelo will take notice
from heavens gate and celebrated
with thunderous applaud.

I shall paint my dreams into reality
upon canvas of self.
Where words become my pigment
of choice and canvas stretched with song.

Where airbrush of inhales align
with present moment to expand creative mind.

Where every evolving masterpiece is observed
by others in my walk of life so many smile
and perhaps send a like.

Where my paintbrush becomes
poets pen and ink color to touch page.

Yes, I shall paint with force
to launch a thousand dreams.
Won’t you join me in my
walking museum called life?
Inspired by Aflaha Thank you
I remember that night
he was drunk
and couldn't even think straight
He said he loved life
and everything about it
I wanted him to say
that he loved me
But he didn't
Instead I told him
that I loved him
because I knew
He wouldn't remember my words
And I was right
"What A Night!", he told me the next day
Smiling because he couldn't remember
He couldn't remember
that he breaks my heart everyday
here comes the pile
walking down the hall
shuffles, pauses
one pushes a button
door opens
eight stepped in
door closes
five pushed buttons
breathe in
count to ten
breathe out
long silence
ding
door opens
step out
sigh.
Wind takes my breath away
Which you gave me from your lips
Chase the wind my love
Save me from dying without you!
When my eyes refuse to recognize light
And I start measuring distance in footsteps
Five steps to reach kitchen from the couch
Fourteen from the kitchen to reach bedroom
Don't look at me with sympathy filled eyes
Instead
Hold my hand and guide me
To the highest peak of the city
And then let me go
Let me wander recklessly
Let me fall and rise up all by myself
Even when I cry for your help
Do not come
Sit
With your knees pressed against your chest and rest your head on them
Look at me
Falling, rising
And in the evening
When the moon lazily crawls into night's lap
When I'm too tired of falling
And I rest my head on your shoulder
Whisper to me
Darling
There are no heights which you cannot climb
You don't need a stick by your side
Even when your eyes refuse to recognize light
And you start measuring distance in footsteps.

I don't know if it makes sense or not but it helped me to get over the block. So yay!
