I used to wait
longing for someone
to love me all over again!
Longing is hurtful
if no one ever
shows up at all!

But....

Now I wait for myself
to wrap up my each day's task
and be me, just me
whom I would caress
with some love
and finding my love
in everything I do,
I write, read & paint each day
& that's where I feel
This is what I was meant to be!
Waiting should be purposeful
And if there is nothing worth
waiting for then better I wait &
find my love in everything
I come across with..
To be on my own finally!

You
Consume what comes your way
Bask in the light of day
So easy
On everyone around
From cracks, through, you make your way
Your tendrils embellish, enliven
The monotony of concrete walls
Your blooming songs
Attract buzzing and chirping bones
So silently, slowly, you encroach
But barely conquer
You rule the heart of this blooming world
I am in awe of greens...I particularly love how creepers grow just about anywhere, how plants and trees take up space so silently, around us, yet when it comes to how they contribute to our planet - nothing silent or small about that.

His surrendered hands outstretched - grasping to hear a voice of direction, "DON'T LET ME FADE AWAY! SHOW ME A SIGN, THAT THIS IS ALL WORTH IT."
2 attempts at medical school admission and 2 failing MCAT scores, I'm facing a third admission attempt in the face, I'm resilient but how persistent am I to be?

Eyes meet, hearts kindle
One step...
                                            Two

Petals unfurl, minds unravel
Two steps...
                                          Three

Strings entwine, souls bind
Three steps...
                                           Four

Inhibitions shed, vibes align
Four steps...
                                            Five

Halos crack, fangs emerge
Five steps...
                                              Six

Curiosity begins to surge...

Love is a misery,
A tragedy as I replied.
You said it was a hassle,
And annoying and sad.
An unhealthy obsession,
Was your description of it.

You asked about confession,
If it'll make you feel lighter.
If the burdens of emotion,
Become weightless banter.
I replied yes with conviction!

Love was a tragedy...
Because now I'm left in misery!
Love was a hassle...
Because now I'm tired and hungry!
It was annoying and sad...
Now I'm jaded and awry!
Just reminiscing the only conversation we had... Why am I like this... I feel so empty...
