To the inspired.
To the believers.
To the soul searchers.

To those who never gave up.
To those struggling but puts a smile to brighten up others day.
To those who still believes in love despite the bitterness in this world.

To everyone who sees beauty in the chaos.
To everyone who fought for the rights of others.
To everyone who sheltered the homeless and the poor.
To everyone who accepts everyone despite the color, differences and faith.

To you,

Thank you. Cheers.

i shouted, "i love you"
and you answered me, "who are you"
dear, i felt that
the possibility of loving me is really just a lonely dot.

i was hurt
but i treated that a dirt.
but one taught me to be grateful for everything.
and i'll just thank you even if you did nothing.

i'll just thank you -
even if i was hurting,
even if you don't know me.
i'll just thank you -
even if you don't love me.
reminded me of a poem by michael faudet on winter of summers :
" if you're in a toxic relationship, don't just walk away. run. "
difference is he doesn't know me, what more to be in a relationship. so i'll just run.

the glass spice jar of rosemary sits in the corner,
bait to prying fingers and
warm dough rising.

a set of hands banish her from her home,
open her up to greedy senses
and hearty-moans.

and then suddenly,
her graceful throat tips,
grinds of rosemary fall into buttered flour,
and she settles around moles of dried cranberries,
specks of shimmering sea salt,
and passionate, cherry pink fingertips.
I'm baking bread with the sun out. My heart feels clear. I can breathe.

I
Am
An addict
And she is my fix
Without her I cease to exist
In this wonderful season,
We have lots of reasons,
For us to wear a smile,
And our memories to be compiled.

Let's be grateful for everything we have.
Our dear savior was born this day.
Let's be thankful we woke up again,
And continue to pray to him.
Christmas is not just about giving gifts but to feel the love this season. Merry Christmas Everyone!

This is not a poem
it is a thank you
that is breathing in my chest
as tears flow from ducts
that haven’t seen happiness like this
since the sun started going to sleep earlier
and settled into the sky with my heart,
this is my gratitude
as I look at the words that you say
leaving comments for me to read
that brighten my soul
as nothing has been able to
for at least five days,
this is my love
for the love that you feel
for the words that I shared,
thank you
for taking my tears
and making them happy again
I just logged on after a rough couple of weeks and seeing the responses that people have had to my poetry made me break down in tears. Thank you all for reading and sharing your love for words with me. I am astonished and so grateful.
