when i fall you're there to catch me
when i'm too weak to stand we lay,
side by side always together:
forever and a day

six years ago we met
and my life was changed forever
knew it then i didn't,
how you'd stand by me whenever

through stormy skies
and peaceful nights
we're stronger together
fighting these fights

you mirror the good and blur the bad
your heart good and true,
without you to guide me
i don't know what i'd do

together we'll dance
together we'll rise
together we'll make it
to see brighter skies.
just a little ode to my mirror for always being my person.
In love I was born,
A body with no soul
She held me in her arms,
And slowly she made me whole.
In her eyes I was made,
Her gentle heart--
Breathing life in me.
From the moment--
I was awake,
She never did let go of me.
In her embrace,
She raised me in a cruel world.
I was her everything,
Dear then them gold and pearls.
She sang me her love,
A lullaby so I could gently fall asleep.
Whence I dreamt of the stars,
She was the one,
Who gave me all the love--
I would ever need.


You gave me all you had
And then some more.
Lived each day for me,
With all the weight you bore.
You taught me,
Everything that I am.
It was in your arms,
That I learned how to stand.
You showed me,
How to love the world.
To be kind,
Even if sometimes it hurts.
In your presence,
Even the shadows were bright.
You held my tiny hands,
And slowly walked me to life.
I owe you alot more,
Than to be just alive.
You gifted me my soul,
When you sang to me--
Every night.


Years go by in a blur,
Only age lets one cherish--
The time one once had.
To remember,
The moments gone by
When we turn back.
And all I see is you,
Holding me in your arm.
Every smile of yours,
Making me warm.
There was nothing more divine,
Then to be in your shadow.
You lit me up in colours,
When I was but hollow.
Though, now I'm old,
You are still the same.
And when you take my name,
I become the little one--
Once again.


Oh, dear mother
I've loved you--
From the day I was born.
Seasons wither,
But I'll always love you--
For you're the only god,
I have ever known.
In case you are wondering about the Title, every day is a mothers day, don't you think ?.
Maybe, you didn't want to raise me in poverty.
But, sitting around waiting to win the lottery is not my idea of trying.
I know it's hard to understand when you're to busy crying.
What did I do that was so wrong?
I wanted to cry, but had to be strong.
And I hope one day it hits you, that I will never forgive you.
I guess you just don't know how much it hurt.
Pants always to big, and to small were my shirts.
Hair unwashed, face covered in dirt.
You didn't even care just lied said you were unaware. you said you had no clue of what he continued to do.
And you, you stayed his slave.
But not I, I was brave.

Love,
scary and beautiful
painful yet pleasing
so many emotions
im yours for the keeping.
So confusing
and so unreal
By your side
my wounds start to heal.
I love your kisses
I love your touch
sometimes I think I care
a little too much.
My heart is yours and yours is mine
this poem is coming to an ending
but our love will conquer time.
a poem i wrote a long time ago
The mother screaming in pain,
the fathers sarcastic laugh,
the smell of petrol and burning skin.

The inferno is rising
"Run little one, run, live for
me”, and away she went.
Watched the inferno consume,
her mother and that man.

Buried under the ashes,
memories still fresh as ever.
A small house stands, where
her life ended.

A couple fighting and screaming,
a little child crying.
Will history repeat itself?
And leave another child orphaned?
Take a picture - it'll last longer
Someday you'll miss these days, my dear
Take a picture - we can frame it
To remember it well when mem'ries are sour
Maybe someday the thoughts will be fonder
Always seem to be when the days last longer
But what do I know

Take a note down - scribble it out
Don't want to forget the words that were said
Take a note down - save it for later
When new lines are harsh - feel like breaking
Use some ink - don't let it fade
If it's done well colors will stay the same
Don't let it go

It hurts to let go - hurts to let go
Don't want to forget because
It hurts to let go - hurts to let go
Please come back
Need you right now - need you right now
Missing you so
Need you right now - need you right now
Come home

Take a picture - it'll last longer
Take a note down - save it for later
Sometimes I have to remind myself
that just because the years have changed
it doesn't mean
the person has
A summer of poetry,
Love poems especially for me
How amazingly romantic!

This creativity is the thing people dream of
It binds us tightly
We have a renaissance kind of love.
