The diffused gleam of jaded dreams
like a siren call upon our desires deep
to sink again in their harrowed streams.

We walk on towards better things
trailing the hummingbird of hope.
Onward, intrepid on rainbow wings.

We live to die another day and begin
with a fated end. Till then we spend
our hours fueling the fire held within.

Why settle for being the fallen fruit
when we can sprout, lush and green?
Again, we will grow; we will take root.

Silky- smooth,
Velvety words,
Envelop me,
Until I'm cosy, and warm,
Illusion of a haven-
Vulnerable, unguarded,
Obscured under my trust-
Words,
Or should I say?
Knives,
Stab me,
Again,
And Again,
Life's draining out of me.
Why did you do this ?

Visit me again ...
sweetheart...

visit me ...
as you did ..
before some nights ...
to get that night ...
same as we did ...
as we were ...
as angels  ...
as lovely candles ...
melted one to the other ...
made their love...
with no shame ...
through souls ...
and our bodies did ...
did what we both feels ...
through a sweet night ..,

together we got ...
long night ...
passed so fast ...
together we had ...
a poetic sweet hot night ...
as we were in a heaven ...

come back again ...
sweetheart ...
to live that night ...
again ...
as we got ...

visit me again ...
fly to me my angel ...
babe sweetheart ...
to have our shower ...
after a long sweet love ...
with a crazy feelings ...
never got before...

visit me ...
i missed you ...
and miss all night...
we had together...
sweetheart...
visit me again...
to make a sweet long night ...
as that night ...

come back again ...
to your poetic poet ...

If the sky should fall

And leave the brittle bones of our living

Shattered

Like teeth in the blackened angry mouth

Of a hag

What then?

Do we weep salt tears

For that which is lost and cannot be found

Raise a fist in anger to a savage God

Who will not hear our cries

As we wander through our ruined lives

Looking for salvation.

Do we bend our backs?

Put stone on stone on stone and build a wall

Make it strong

To foil the ravening wolves

Of fear and cruel self doubt

A solid moat to keep them out

And us within

While we begin

Again!

Will anyone remember how I placed the empty mug
On our bannister
At the top of the stairs.
Like everything now,
It was waiting
Like all of us,
To be cleansed
To be filled
To be emptied
And start again.

If I really had to hurt you one day
Let it be Now
And never
Again
Feelings are difficult 💔

I can't lie. I can't pretend.
I'm not ready to dive
into the fire again.
After all the heartbreak
The world has shown
I'd rather have medusa
Turn my heart to stone.
