Absent Smile Jul 2018
in my fairytale that appears when the sky loses the sun,
the cursive words written were with a silver quill dipped in moondust.
the accounts of my journey to righteous freedom
were engraved amongst the stars on a dark night where obscurity
lingered even in places where flames were lit.
set in the cosmos where children slept in trees
and adults smelt like the salty sea;
where pretty boys could grasp the light found between snowflakes
and flashes from girls were because of bombs chewed in their mouths;
where monsters kissed the sinless lips of innocence,
fairies were created from a single emotion of a human,
and everyone loved the first prince who lightly held their waist.

I live here,
I always have.
and I think that
for evermore will become my blood as I lay among
the wild grassy plains just beyond the barrier of the forest.

in my fairytale found in between the alignment of planets,
the phrases stains the sky when perused and
the waters reflect a fantasy that shows
sleepy children who ruffle green leaves the illustrations of my life.
you will see all that is past.
adventures trapped in a memory.
catch a glimpse of my youth clinging onto my skin.
look into daring eyes that flicker with uncertainty.
listen to songs honeyed with sweetness.
witches may snicker at my innocent self
and creatures of the northern winds could howl at my ignorance
but I will remain timeless in rocky streams, pools of puddles,
wide empty lakes, and the vast ocean that takes the horizon.

they hold
my story,
my words,
my life.
they hold me by sealing my soul's existence in those rough waters.

but if my life was a blissful fairytale,
why are the shades of my tale only in darkness and not light?
if I gaze into the sky during a time when the sun shines,
the body of the sky is made of the brilliance of blue,
or perhaps a stormy gray,
and sometimes, completely clouded in white.
before my story, when the sun begins to fall from its place,
I see the vivid colors of
purple, orange and yellow
painting the waters
before becoming a shadowy hue of blue? of me?
why am I not made of a beauty like that?
why am I made from darkness?
I wonder,
what were the stories written before me in the sky?
how is my story told by those in trees?
why is it that my story darkens the world?

although I have overcome obstacles to my dream,
fought my demons who caused so much pain
and finally lived my perfect happy ending...
perhaps,
I am not the fairytale that I was told.

My nameless love


I could fall deeper and deeper into your eyes for a lifetime.
As I stare into you, I feel truly alive.
With each passing moment,
We are each only wasting such precious time.
We should be together, we exchange glances,
We dance around each other’s feelings, acting like we are alright…


…but all is still wrong, if I have never spoken those words;
I must confess my soul speaks volumes, never seen, never heard
And inside all my thoughts I keep finding your image.
Allow me to love you and I will forever see your love as a privilege.


Let love’s choir raise the roof!  
The two of us could have found somebody to be true to.
But with love there are no definite answers,
Until your hand has been shown;
Has your heart already been enraptured?


With breathless words, I try to speak.
With forgotten gestures, I remain so weak.
With distant wishes, it is always you that I seek,
But still I am this geek; blessed are the meek.
Please share with me what it is you foresee.


Can you picture me holding your hand,
As the world moves all around us, a loss to all plans?
A break in the code,
A glitch in the system.
Lovers swear an oath which has no need to be written.
These promises are to be made, for love never truly fades.
Is this real love or not?  Are we lips to the grave?
We could become all we each could ever need.
My maiden, oh so fair.  Do you too need to be saved?


Let us each shout!  “I want you bad!”
Give me the gift of true love, the likes of which I have never had.
A love that lasts; an unbroken pact.
An oath or bond never broken;
Cure me of my sad.


Light up my heart with your star, set fire to my passion.
I am burning for you, my theatrical attraction.
My muse, my actress, my play on words…
My nameless love.
Let Aa be the bee to your bird.

Sometimes the ones you want to save,
are the ones standing on your cape

My father does things for me.
Even though he's tired, he still works just for me.
He does Everything for me.
Dad, You have a heart disease.
Please don't leave, I still need you.
My dream is for you to walk me in the altar to my future husband.
You have so many dreams for me.
Please be healthy.
I love you.
Happy Father's Day.
Dad! I love you so much. I know I don't show it but I love you. Please be healthy. You are still going to take care of your grandchildren :)
Happy Father's Day to all fathers in the world :)

Say what you mean


Human spirit, man of the hour;
Mirror shatters, sun and showers.
Picture of youth lost in a fire,
Summer is gone, now is the hour.


Living alone brings peace of mind;
I need a piece of pie to feed my hunger.
Live forever seems like punishment to me,
I’m scared of death endlessly; it is the curse I am under.


Write down your thoughts to remember the good times,
Write down your thoughts to heal the bad.
Say what you mean when you want to say something,
Think about what it is you are trying to say.


Life is a laugh if you are happy on the inside;
Keep a smile on your face so they don’t know how you really feel.

I want to save you
I want to be your hero
But I can't this time
Sometimes you have to be your own hero
