I love you,
I love you
I love you, it’s true
Shield me from harm,
& ****** my truth

I love you
I love you
So cut out my eyes
Bask me in charm,
with your sweet little lies

I love you, I love you
So Rip out my tongue
Tell me that you love me,
And make me belong.
The past is a ribbon

Threaded with shiny beads

A curled string of memories

That once belonged to someone else
Trying for brevity and elegance
A room full of dark

    Hungry crows of worry peck at sleep

        Morpheus it seems is grounded
Don't pretend
that you were trying
to save me when
you were the one
who let me
drown.

You're nothing but a jester
exploiting me to win my crown.
Exploiting: To use (a situation or person) in an unfair or selfish way.

My feet struck the earth
just as they did before.
I didn’t need to think -
rehearsed steps guided
my strides.

One foot in front of the other...
My soles tasted the concrete
with traction between lunges.

I was going places.
I was getting somewhere.

I wished I knew
where I was heading.
The thing I am most grateful
for is that when my heart broke,
it broke open.
Blooming flowers,
Cozy milieu,
Warmth spreading in eyes,
Sun wearing on the skin,
Breeze stroking the hair,
Bees chanting mystifying melody,
Birds flapping their wings in rejoice,
All this makes me wonder,
Are you coming?

Then dried leaves make way,
Petals tangle in your curls,
Brisk steps take a pause,
Awestruck as our eyes met,
I'm glad you came.

Swiftly and gracefully it all happened,
You just came,
Flourished my world with tenderness,
Caressed my being with all you've got,
And then as just you occurred to me,
You were gone,
Like a meteor you visited my life's imperfect sky.
Love is a meteor shower.
It occurs rarely but the impact remain forever.
