When the little corners of life start to tap every bit of your soul ..

When you reach out to grasp something that you know is not there ..

When you close your eyes very tight just to open them again in hopes of seeing that very one miracle ..

When the wind blowing through your hair almost feels like secret breaths into your ears ..

When tears wrap around your throat from the mere thought of the empty left side of the bed tomorrow ..

When you lay in bed alone and can almost feel those hands bringing themselves to wrap your bones into existence ..

When hello's are early goodbye's of near longing ..

When goodbye's are early hello's of near joy ..

And that is when you know ..
You have only been living in the first minute of every hour

That is when you know ..
It is time to strike into the next minute

It is when you know ..
You're ready to fall into all of the seconds of each passing day

You finally know ..
You are ready to come home

For it is a soul like yours that brightens up your day ..

She carries music with her every place she goes ..

It's in the gleam of her gazing eyes when she observes magnificence
It's in the tear drops of her crying eyes when the keys of her heart hit the wrong notes
It's in her smile that draws melodious beauty on her face
It's in her voice that hums mesmerising harmony ..

Yet, you upset her

You rid her from her music
You string her out of tune
You silence all the melodies
You took away the moon -

That glowed up the dark night sky
That made the stars feel at home
That made the night feel safer
Yet, you made her feel alone

The waves came crashing on her kingdom
The wind blew away her home
The home she called her music
Is now forsaken and gone

He was walking through abandoned streets
Through destructed pathways of her soul
He stumbled upon a light of faith
He sensed a spark of hope

Tune your keys for harmony, he said
Sing to the aria of happiness and dance
And if life tinkered with your melodies
You need not to look up nor glance -

I'll play that tune of happiness
For you I'll cross the lands
I'll dress you with fine fabrics of music
He said: For sadness, you are too grand

She sang to all the notes
Of a composed music piece
He twirled her around in grace
Like wind swaying through leaves

Once again ..

She carries music with her
Every place she goes
It's in the veins of her melodic soul
And with her music she grows

It's in the gleam of her gazing eyes when she observes magnificence
It's in the tear drops of her crying eyes when the keys of her heart hit the wrong notes
It's in her smile that draws melodious beauty on her face
It's in her voice that hums mesmerising harmony ..

And you, can never upset her
Know the things that make you stronger .. Then carry them with you. Always.

Amongst all the things inside of me
Of one thing I am sure
It's that, the many things inside of me
Are like a series of doors -

One leads into the other
And the other into the rest
Then they all pour into a room
In which I am the guest

I'm a visitor in my home
Which every thing and being has overtook
I just observe the utter chaos .. Of me
Hit .. Tossed ..  And torn

The waves, they're crashing in
From my eyes into my soul
I'm pushed into the winds
Of heavily breathing storms

Grounds are like fire to walk on
And falling onto my scraped knees ..
I shiver from the cold inside
Alas, I crumble and cease

Drowning under frozen waters
I find myself above the skies
And the moment I stop to breathe
Everything around me .. It just dies -

As if I inhaled all the air
I think I took away life
I've torn it into shreds, into pieces
Then blew it away with a simple sigh

The ruins all around me
Deeds of my own hands
I only stand up to fall
And fall for one more stand

I'm nowhere
But I'm here
Is that a place?
Am I on ground?

I'm no one
But I'm me

And perhaps I have found ..

Lost thoughts ..
A crowd of dreams ..
A crowd of cries ..

Yet, I don't know what I've found ..
Maybe truth .. Maybe lies

They do all fit together ..
In a way which they don't
It's like looking above ..
Only to see below

Dimensions dance around
As if they're scribbles on a wall
I step closer to understand
But I fall back into that door -

The one that leads into the other
Where others fall into the rest
Then they all pour into one room
My home .. In which I am a guest

And the beats .. They drop
And the breaths .. They cease  
And the eyes .. They tear
And the heart .. It bleeds  

For all of what was so very close
But in reality was never to be in reach

The warmth of hugs you never felt
The kisses goodnight you'd never get
The father you've lost is now afar
The mother you seek in shooting stars
The love you carry in your heart so true
The love they crush and throw back at you

The things you want are merely wishes  
Child, save your heart a few less stitches  

Stitches you sewed of scars so deep
Stitches you covered from pain too steep  

Oh darling .. Look at you!

Scratches of life cover your body ..
Your broken ribs suffocate your lungs
Your back bones pull out your soul

They say she's dead anyways.

But she says that ..  

Her scars are beauty marks covering her ..
Her cries are calls of salvation awakening the worlds ..
Her screams are the echoes gushing from caves to mountains ..  
Her bleeding heart is flowing love that fills the seas  ..  

And the things so close but she cannot reach ..
Are perhaps the things she does not need ..
Sincerely, Em
