Where there's war
There's peace
Because it's hard
To tell love and
Hate apart
When they both
Come from
The heart

I will ask for nothing in return
Once you put your lips on mine
Your coal black heart on fire
With eyes made of winter storms
All I want is your hand in mine
And your poison against my skin

It’s easy to write about
all the pain in life.

but writing about life
can cause you pain.

TAPESTRY

We look with our eyes, but cannot comprehend
Where, our tapestry starts and where it will end
  
Like actors on stage, our tapestries as background
We perform life’s role, as our designs are unwound

Invariably attracted, to the beauty of others
Our own unseen background, inattention then smothers

Their life more exciting, more beautiful, more grand
And ours becomes a protest, for life being bland

But our background keeps unfolding, it’s elegance unseen
All the brights and the bolds, of our colour scheme

So we leave unaware, of what we’ve achieved
As our endeavors have thus, our tapestry weaved

Sad that some of us exit, from this wondrous planet
Not realizing what we, have accomplished in it

The old snake:  No one can cut off my tail
18
Withered petals fall
upon their thorns' sanctity,
their sweet scents fading.

Kiss me,
I'm sick.

I love you,
I hate you,
in 30 second intervals.
I shapeshift
in ten syllables
with no pauses.

You think that this time
it'll be different,
that I won't run.
And I flinch
because you don't
deserve this.

The truth is
that I'm already
dreaming of
wide open spaces
and books with blank pages.
