Awkward silence

Awkward silences
Where i am angry
And your ego is in the way
Silences where we want to talk
But your too proud to say "sorry"
Same bed but we are miles apart
Where i wait for you
To run your fingers through my hair
Like usual i wait for you
To help me fall asleep
But your miles away
Too proud to make the first move
'She'll get over it'
The thought is in your head
Maybe i will
But still it would be nice to see
You care
Waiting in awkward silence

Fireworks!!

I watch the fireworks
Dancing away in the sky
Pinks blues greens reds
Fireworks dancing with the music
They sing "watch me, watch me"
And i do, i am mesmerised
What sweet syncronising
I catch myself dancing
With the fireworks
I am on cloud 9
They're still going
So much energy
So much passion
Twirling twirling
Shooting up high
They light the sky
Just like the stars
Blue purple yellow orange
Sweet sweet harmony
They are alive
The sky is alive
I am alive
I am dancing away
To the beat of the fireworks
They have the sky on fire
The suns turned off its light
And i am mesmerised with
The fireworks that have lit up
The dark with their own lights
Dancing away in their own world
Wow! The patterns!
The colours combine
Into one huge explosion
Beauty at its peak
Its brought the world together
They are one like the fireworks
Dancing hand in hand
Laughing singing dancing away
They are one

My other children

My children are sleeping
Warm and snug in their beds
Sweet slumber, they dream away
Their gentle soothing breaths
Have my heart at peace
My children are asleep
Safe and sound in their beds
No worries no hassle no war
Just sweet sweet sleep
They dream of sunshine
And flowers and beautiful colours
They dream of beauties of this world
Then there are my other children
My children born of different mothers
Bless their tiny eyes, they cant sleep
They have no bed to keep them warm
Theres an empty space where a sister or a brother should have been
Their mother lies awake
Fearing for their safety
Scared for their future, if they have one
Their mother who loves her children
Just like me
A mother whose heart screams at this world to give them justice
Give them quiet, give some peace
These children are having nightmares
Of the realities of this world

Beauty vs beast

The petals of the rose
Draw all the attention away from the thorns
It is fascinating how a single flower can be so beautiful
Yet contain a hint of ugliness in it to
Just like the peacock
Which has a million stunning feathers on its tail
Drawing attention away from its feet
It saddens the peacock itself
When it compares its beauty to the deformity it contains
Nothing is perfect in this world
Dont expect it to be
If these beautiful creations contain imperfection
Remember somewhere we are also flawed

Resolutions

Each new year
A new resolution is made
I will loose weight
I will be nice
No more drinking
No more anger
No more war
Yet here we are
Year 2016....
How many of us
Made these resolutions
Last year
The year before that
Or even before that?
Look, even now
Theres so much evil
So much anger
So much war
Noone sticks to their resolutions
They break just like empty promises
Made by every other man
To every other woman
Made to be broken
Just abit of fun
Resolutions are a way of saying
"Yes we are wrong"
"Yes we do wrong"
"We will not change"
Happy new year
The number has changed
But expect no more
Happy New Year

Haunted dreams

My dreams are haunted
A dream because its beautiful
And then haunted
Because you show up
And i know you shouldnt be here
But theres no way i can stop you
You werent here when i was awake
Why do you show when i am asleep
Let me dream in peace
The only place i felt i could forget you
Yet here you are again
An illusion in my life
Just like this illusion in my dream

Secrets

I watch her
As she reads my words
I hesitate
Will she figure it out
Will she know
What she reads
Is not just any ordinary poem
It is all my secrets
Wrapped away
In a poem
And there she is
Looking at me
Directly into my eyes
She knows....
