we are ticking time bombs
but when we explode
we are fireworks
creating something beautiful

you are more then skin and bone
you are a solar system

people revolve around you,
you have turns,
and some planets go out of line but you
still continue on
space, self empowerment, love, body, stars, universe, planets
Yesterday I looked at my reflection,
and as I took off my Ray-Ban’s
I started thinking:

“Am I good enough today?”
I was as imperfect as always.
With that magic in my eyes
that could fool an entire country in war.
And then, I answered to myself:
“You’re good enough today,
and you’ll be better tomorrow.
Keep holding on, don’t fall;
there’s a long way to go.”

And I walked with a direction,
stronger than ever.

Poetry held your hand
led you gently

away from the crowd
and when alone

kissed your lips
passionately

and ran through the forest
merrily laughing.
Today I ate fresh baked bread
crackly crust,smooth dense chewy texture

After one bite I thought.
perhaps some butter, marmalade too

The butter spreads easily
the little holes all fill up nicely

then thickly comes the bitter marmalade
which glues the top slice on

A two handed squish to firm it up..............

a second bite

Good thinking
An old one  but nourishing still.

You are as deep as i am in the universe, for the constellations in your eyes know no boundaries. Your soul which moves your hands and squints your eyes, was made up of fallen stars and  burnt out suns. Your mind which no other will ever fathom, is connected to mine through silent words, and screaming galaxies.

Aeerdna
She's somewhere far away
sitting on her porch
watching the sun sinking behind the church tower
alone
breathing the warm air
as another day of her life
is going to an end.
80 years and no smile wrinkles on her cheeks
her forehead still a history book
where lines of war and struggle
are deeply written.

Her eyes full of colour,
her heart
a room where hope and sorrow
constantly fight against each other.

Her voice, a joy to hear
though it saddens me
knowing that she goes to sleep as the sun does—
lonely, in a dark, quiet infinity
She says she doesn't care
She says she doesn't care that her grades are dropping
She says she doesn't care if her dad hits her
She says she doesn't care that 'he' left her
She says she doesn't care when people criticize her all the time
She says she doesn't care that she has no friends
But, I know she does
I know what she doesn't say
She tries to hide the sadness but her eyes give her away
Whether it's the crimson on her wrists or
The way in which her breathing gets heavier when I walk past her explains it all
She cares because she dances in the rain when everyone takes cover
She is a poem in a world which is still learning the alphabet.
