The air is soft and warm
Each breath in
Is like a hug to my soul
Each breath out feels fragile
Like I’m letting you go
Is this the scent of love
Freshly bloomed and new
Scared to exhale too hard
At the risk of losing you
If this is what love smells like
I want to hold my breath forever
So I’ll breathe very gently
While I write my love letter


The sun warms the world we share
Every breath is honey-sweet
Each moment is ripe
Like fruit from a tree
Is this
The scent of love
Soft and golden in hue
Wrapping itself around me
Enlightening every moment with you


But as the seasons begin to change
I guess feelings do too
Does the smell of love fade
Like the autumn leaves do
What once felt like life
Feels like a breeze whispering doubts
The warm air that once held us close
Is cooler and distant now


The aftermath of love
Feels like I’m breathing in snow
My lungs
Now cold and dry
Feel empty and hard like stone
I miss the scent of your love
The sweet sweet bloom
Even the fading
Was something to hold on to
Was this the smell of love
Or just four seasons of lust
Was this something real
Or just a long winded gust

I don’t share often because my walls are so high up
I fear that if I bring someone too close they’ll stab my sensitive heart
Trust is a delicate thing
Something my heart thinks irrelevant
If you ask me if im loveable I’ll tell you “I hope so”
My mind says no
But my heart screams against the metal bars that “My love will come down like a Tsunami, just please don’t leave me”
I’m begging you to stay
Don’t be another person who will walk away
I want to love someone who will at least look my way
I tell someone I like them and they say “I like you too”
What a fucken liar
You decided to leave me anyways
I fear to utter the words again
To either be rejected or played
So I’m looking at you and thinking will you do the same?

It's twelve something in the morning
A vague block of time past
The empty celebration
I meander outside
Hopelessly alone,
Just me and a cigarette
And when it burns out,
No longer lit
I'll then yell and scream
Louder than I can
Untill my voice gives up on me too
Finally leaving me
And I can no longer
Even call upon a whisper
As I make the biggest decision of my life...
...at least up to this point...
To go solo for what's left of this venture
Where I hope to discover
Me
The entity
That I've heard called Jeremy

The nonstop negative news or publicities on Haiti
Hurt tremendously and disturbingly
The relentless or constant bashings of all Haitians
Twinge and twist my heart like cancer patients
On their death beds, who are resigned, hopeless
Penniless, helpless, and spiritless.

Haiti needs a mega break from all the powerful parasites
That are still exploiting our precious resources at countless sites
While concomitantly exploring and impoverishing our peasants
Our innocent siblings who perilously work for crumbs and cents.

It is time that all truths are spoken or be told
It is time that we unearth, unfurl or unfold
All vile plots so the world can witness the premeditated lies.

Papa Noël is a well designed invention in disguise
At Christmas time, the hurts are excruciating
And the misery is objectionable and nauseating.

Not the centre of the universe
How its like !
A chance that slips through
Like a quick sand
Each new move

A rail of misfortune
Thinking... goals should've been achieved

Irritated
******
Questioning the path taken
I thought everything was on my side

The river flows forward
Never disperse
Wishing for a same clear path

Adamant
Swimming all I knew
Is it a sign, convert
Indeed the sun doesn't only rotate in my world

Inoperable
Shall venture new domain
This one life
Find true purpose
Not to leave in vain

You
Sometimes even in the middle of the night, sweet thoughts of you saunter throughout my mind. Sometimes I let it wander, and I wonder things which I'm sorely reticent I should be thinking..

I dream of you sometimes, whenever I end up dreaming at all. I wonder still what these ideas mean or what importance they hold; what purpose they possibly condone and implore, like a veil of undeniable curiosity drawing lines in sand that beckon and ache to be crossed either way.

Sometimes I wonder what depths these thoughts and feelings may behold beyond that pale fog of what is and "what if," and sometimes I let my mind escape the frail boundaries of reality and imagination just to feel that solemn place even for a brief moment. It pierces me deeply and caresses my very soul to feel your presence even without you beside me.

Thoughts of you whisper dearly to me in echoes of visions of things that have never happened. But I still wonder, even in doubt; I still imagine, even when I deign to ignore what pleasantries it instills to think of you in every fathomable way; and often when I do, my blood may never stand still..

In silent verbal graves, my heart wanders into things my mind has shown it, and it anguishes to understand what could lie beyond the gateway of this world to the one beseeched from within my head.

How simple it could all be for nought, not so far from being as fragile and fleeting as a mere idea, that the moments where I lie within the shadows of deceit to ultimately awake away from these thoughts and visions would be the only thing keeping those dreams to hold me in feigned tranquility: a place I'd rather never awake from to begin with.

I think of you, often, dearly.. I think of you, and I always wonder a million things: every part of your mind and soul. I think of you.

But I think to myself, most of all, if I'm eternally alone in these thoughts; and the night becomes lucid, and I sleep in trifling silence devoid of any dreams at all.

Still, I think, of you.

I Don’t Say It Enough

I don’t say it enough,
But loving you was tough.
Every little thing
Could either make me spring
Or devour my ink.

What if it’s not true?
What if you leave me soon,
Leaving me to feel like a loon?
This thinking eats at my soul.

Yes, the chains are holding me back—
That’s something I can’t deny; it’s a fact.
But do I love you less?
No, still, you make me feel like a mess.

I’m sorry I don’t say it enough,
But loving you is tough.

Living in the middle of the beginning of the end
To much time taken
None left to spend
The shoulder devil's my guardian angels only friend
Quality of life a dying trend
Tucked into a deathbed
Then pretend to be on the mend
Bend the truth until it's a lie that you have to defend
Be yourself
See what happens then
Hang in there like the cat poster said
Only postponing the fall in the end
Forced to contend
With that of which becomes to much to comprehend
Then,
It starts all over again
Over
And over
And over again

her Dec 2024
Once upon a time there was a little girl
a girl who was smiling and laughing
being a happy little girl
but then she lost the most important woman in her life
she lost a piece of her heart
she wasn't smiling anymore nor laughing
she started being by herself


she grew up
lonely and sad
carving her skin
starving herself
crying at night
missing her mother

Then she met him
he said he could heal her but instead he ripped her heart out of her chest
leaving her alone to die

she had lost everything
and to this day
she sits by her window
and wishes that she could jump and feel how the wind hugs her and holds her tight for a second
and then she could be in peace
and no one remembering her or missing her

thats the story of a girl who lost everything
