I'm not in a
"relationship",
I'm sharing
My single life
With someone
special.
the Sandman Jan 2015
I gave him my favourite book
And laughed it off as expanding his "cultural horizons."
I showed him my favourite movie
And shrugged it off as "chillin' and killin' time."
I sent him all my favourite music
But could not write it off as anything
Other than pure devotion.
I want to scoop out
His eyes that read my most beloved works,
His unworthy ears that heard the tunes of my heart,
His awful, ugly smile that enjoyed my dearest film.
And so now here I sit,
With his organs lying before me,
Looking lovelier than on him;
And still, I am not at peace.
The rumbling in my heart, and the twitching in my fingers
Has not stopped.

I dive for his heart;
I will sew it on my sleeve.

Why can't the one I love share what I do?

A reclusive heart
With a bundle of joy
Willingly hands out
Treasures of happiness
To those who seek
Born free
And has the master key
To unlock the hidden chambers
Of happiness
Each one of you shall own one
Unlock the treasures
Within you
Pass on the key
To the one in need
You will have
Passed on a fortune
Make this a privileged world
Stars will shine brighter
And night’s more beautiful
Sun will shine brighter
Over the reclusive heart

Raconteur we all are
Narrating our anecdotes
Not many willing audience
You keep them close to your heart
Maybe one day someone will listen
Peering at your beautiful heart
A traveler with compassion
Willing to walk with you
Noting down every detail
Weaving a story of togetherness
Bonding over the stories
The raconteur
Will have finally met another
Sharing life’s anecdotes
Embracing every event
And celebrating together
Come what may

Behind the smiling faces
Written, a poignant story
Hearts lay there in smithereens
Still unable to find the pieces
Lost forever in the crevices
Moments frozen in the past
Feelings wrapped in a bubble
Smothered and relegated
To the corridors of oblivion
Yet, the spirits are unbound
No chains can hold their energy
Fighting a vicious battle
To overcome the defeats
The smiling faces
Spread happiness and positivity
So others can find solace
And find the courage to fight
Smiling faces are beacons of hope
They tell a courageous story
When you are willing to listen

Write sad with me, she said
Let's write beautiful anguish
I want people to wonder how we could tap dance
On that one nerve attached to all emotion
Let's invite them to swim in the abyss of desolation
Amongst the most inviting torment
Alone in the shades of black and blue
That make up a bruised spirit and broken heart
Let us share the parts of us we ourselves are loathe to view
Will you, please
Write it with me
