Unclench

Opens to offer; this

Every new day is a mystery
Yesterday becomes history
Wondering are you still missing me
I close my eyes
And feel your heart's still whispering
..."I do" -Lady Ju

Here with me


When flowers bloom

I see your smile

Brighter than

A day in spring



On springtime breeze

I hear your voice

Sweetly whisper

As I sing



Life is blooming,

It’s beautiful to see

Your heart is pounding,

Busy as a bee


As warmth grows around us

Never daring to part

It grows inside me

Right into my heart


The birds keep singing,

Flying into our view

Nature keeps smiling

Back at you


And of these things

My heart does feel

In silent smiles

Which can’t conceal



The beauty of

This world we see

When you are standing

Here with me
This is a collaborative poem written with my amazing friend Sye.
Your life is on
center stage.

and we all know
you hate the
curtain call.
We all know someone.
Tear stained face
Blood shot eyes
Blood stained arms and legs

Destroying yourself is so easy it hurts

Hands are too slippery for the razor you try to hold
Blood turns brown as it dries
Trying to clean up the bathroom floor and sink so it's not so obvious
Nothing works
The razor can only make it better as it eats into your skin

*My legs are dangling off the edge, stomach full of pills that didn't work again.
Gone too far, yeah I'm gone again. It's gone on too long, I'll tell you how it ends. I'm sitting on the edge with my two best friends. One's a bottle of pills and one's a bottle of gin. My frienemy's behind me, and his name is sin.

Louise
I just want, to peacefully sleep
enveloped in your arms
I don't even want to see
just want to be out of harm
      Staying here, forever in safety
      inhaling your scent, it's home
      you'll whisper so sweet and quietly
      I won't ever feel alone
Tenderly wrapped around me
I can feel the warmth of your love
whispering 'It's me and you only'
it feels like rays from the sun
      Dreaming, here I lay
      softly caressing only you
      will it be long enough I pray
      to let my love seep through
yet I know I am desperately alone
and you are not really here
but my heart, unable to cope
refused to believe love can disappear
