In this world, I travel
To the paths laid before me, I wander
In the midst of this valley, I walk
Not sure where these paths would take me.

The winds increase their speed
Arise then fall again, I traverse still
Past the lea the mountains
Are upwards sloped, the paths grow rough and steep.

I thought this was path
Plain, worn, and clearly visible to see
I have gone so far now,
The path is dark and steep I feel alone.

Feeling lost in track,
No trail to be found,
I started to venture on my own
Make a new route where no other goes.

I found nothing in venture,
No longer wasting time; but then I found
My heart along the way,
Which longed to be filled with the simplest things.
A collaborative work with one of the amazing poets I have known since I started here on HP :)

Tea
Sitting, drinking tea while watching the rain come wandering down
a smile brought on by cool breeze on misted skin
steam rising from the cup in front, the fragrant herbs steeping
and cascading come memories of other times
of once close people and far away places
and endless cups of tea

No matter where i wander, be it deserts cold or mountains rugged
there are always memories of those left behind in time
bring they a smile, a grin or a tear to flow my face
i will find joy in seeing them again
even if only inside my mind
and over a cup of tea.
almost 20 years of wandering the world, from warzones to the most serene and peaceful of places, i've found there are always two things -  Tea and memories.

The Romantic
I pretend you died.
This way,
It's easier to breathe.
My envision was getting married,
after seeing you,
walk down the center of a Castle in the middle of an island.
There was a day in a year,
My envision was lost.
The day you left,
I lost faith in life.
My imagination,
does not run without you.
Now I live,
with a loose bull inside me.
After you,
My red cape.
I've been sleeping inside the dream,
of one day having you.

My high school crush
Is about a year younger or the same age
She is a girl with a beautiful smile on her face
And she's the girl I keep thinking of

She is the same girl that I envisioned in my dreams
I want to admit my feelings to her but it's too early
Cause we're not in our season to be in a relationship
And we're still in high school

All I know is that I have to protect my heart
And let God protect her heart as well
Cause I don't want anything bad to happen
And I don't want to end up being manipulated

I wanna save myself from falling in love
But I feel like that she went in my heart in an instant
And that feeling I wanna let my emotions to come out
But they're living inside a jar where I could just play with them

I feel like I should not worry about this now
Because I'm still a student
And what may the future hold
I will not worry about the future and I will still live in the present
This poem is for someone special in my heart, but I won't tell who.

Do not cut with no reason
Do not cut with pain
Do not cut with no emotion
Do not cut with no blood

Do not cut without a blade
Do not cut with a blunt end
Do not cut with a smile
Do not cut without meaning

Cut when there's a dark room
Cut when it's necessary
Cut when you're alone
Cut when you're in doubt

Cut with sharp ends
Cut with blood
Cut with reason
Cut with meaning

The rain taps on my window.

It asks me if it can sing in my ear.

Until I fell asleep.

­ I wish the rain, ­ was you

Why do I feel this way?
When I'm with you
When you look at me
When I hear your voice
My whole body tingles
I can barely breathe
Longing to be closer
When will I feel your lips on mine
Your loving arms around me
Are we meant to be?
Or is this merely the feeling
Of our pre- destined
Desire to mate

I was lying
to you baby

When I said
Love is all
we need.

All
I need is
  attention.

It's not that
easy
as I thought.

All
I want is
your attention..
