in the sea of love we fell
we didn’t swim very well
we looked for a lifeboat
maybe it’d keep us afloat?

but we wanted much more
once we reached the shore

for eternity
we weren’t meant to be

our paradise
was built on
white lies
and compromise
yes, we lived through
grey skies
but we didn't realise
in our eyes
the truth lies

Blood of a poet dripping from me.
*** and magic feeding my dreams.

I used to write poems for lovers,
Now I write poems for love.

Life is written in verse;
every line has its rhyming pair.

From chaos comes chaos,
Heartbeat brings heartbeat.

There's no heart or soul that's truly alone,
There's an incomplete poem,

And every poem finds its ending,
it doesn't matter if it's masculine or feminine.

A line, a rhyme.
You'd be surprised by what you rhyme with.

there are days
when i sit in daze
in my mind, on repeat
a phrase
is it a phase
or is it the start
of a maze?
i look for ways
to get out unscathed
it doesn’t work, not always

Oh resilient heart o’mine
You know you’ll be fine
We’ve loved with every ounce
He was nothing but a louse
Let the pain run through our veins
because I know we’ll love again
Zia May 2019
know that i still think about you
maybe not every day but i do
i think of what could have been
had i been too hasty at nineteen?
i guess we won't ever know
unless we give it another go
people say don't look back
look ahead and don't lose track
but you're part of my story
you're a chapter i can't just bury

I don’t do moon and stars
I’m not good at metaphors
I’m not what you call a romantic
That said, I’m no less enthusiastic
When I give, I don’t count
And when I take, there’s no discount
Don’t question my kindness
Don’t look for my weakness
By your side I’ll stay
As long as you don’t stray
You’ll be mine
Until ends time
Zia May 2019
i’m scared to pray
even when things
don’t go my way
i know I’ll pay
for the times i stray
i keep pushing
it all away
thinking ‘come what may,
He’ll still give
me another day’

“Drifted apart”
were two words
we’d never thought
would apply to us
You said, “Never!”
and I said
“Never ever say never”.
You laughed. I shrugged.
Now we’re worst than strangers.
We don’t even say hello
to each other.

Don’t call me a poet
For only out I let
What you bet
Would never set
me free and yet
here I am - a Juliet
who may not forget
but lives in no regret
