Writing a poem is "easy"
       But
          My brain is loud
              So,
                 My heart covers her ears
                    And closes her eye.
Writes whatever but ends up in the
                                 draft.

Star of the sea,
even in the midst of darkness her shine will not be fazed.
she'll glow brightest,
the one to bring light to the
place.

yours truly,
maristella.

The love you never had
The pain you always carried
The trust you never showed
The guilt you were consumed by
The joy you were seeking
The anger you held inside

The rest of them could never see
But I did
Because I was once like you

She can walk
          between
             night and day
               never letting either
                  get in her way.
She learned this trick
                     many moons ago
                                by
                     going deep within
           and never letting it show.
Her soul is innocent
her heart is pure
she’s gone through more
than most could endure.
            She’s an angel of light
                 an angel of dark
                 you never know
              what you will spark.
                      You want to hurt her?
                         Please, go ahead and try
                           she’ll be the one to show you
                                  just how well she can
                                                              f
­                                                                l­
                                                                ­  y.
                                  Her soul innocent
                    her heart pure
      but never think for one minute
that she’s not secure.
                                Say what you will
                          please, do what you must
                       but your jealousy and hatred
                             won’t waver her trust!

I fell in love with candlelight-
in my darkness, she shone so bright.
She danced the breeze, lit up the night,
her glow consumed my very sight.

But wax and wick both burn away,
and candlelight just cannot stay.
As sure as night turns into day,
that fickle flame will go astray.

But for a moment, through the storm,
she lit my world, she kept me warm,
then flickered out, as is the norm
for candlelight, its fleeting form.

I fell in love with candlelight,
for but a moment, all was right.
Her glow, her dance, consumed my sight,
and faded out at end of night.

We've both crossed the line
let go of each other's hand.
Parted ways on the other side,
only I looked back, but you were gone.

Another try wouldn't hurt
all we needed was each other's comfort.
But in the middle you built a tower,
only you knew I was never a climber.

I love you Cairo, but I have to say goodbye
I can no longer love someone, who I can't reach in the sky.
One day when we meet,
I'll be the Emi you loved, but now just a passerby.
