I wish, for freedom
For a language of my own.
A place to vent and call my home
When I feel so lost, and all alone.

Rhymes and rhythm once caught my eye,
Though I can not be true when others spy.
I used to want this
Im not sure if I still do
When I am unsure
Of what is true.

My comforts, an illusion;
a man crafted in the mind,
to soften the blow of reality.

His touch, warm and delicate,
fake and fleeting,
leaving my heart twisted sour.

An intimacy, imagined,
hands merged with the air,
a hot fever overwhelming.

I cannot break free,
from this manmade delusion,
as too much of me relies on him.

Sanity shatters under my breath,
without his sweet embrace,
a broken mind created man in an empty space.

While you're waiting for things to happen, drive out to the sea.
Make a pact with your past to stay away from the future, without the haste and stress.
Take a swim, plunge into an icy cold bath.
Remind yourself that you hold beauty, the mirror doesn't always accurately reflect.
Find solace in the simple, remember that you're great.
A little bit of self care, can go a very long way.

finding solace
in reuniting
with my sis
is perhaps
one of the most
amazing gifts
I have ever given
to me.
I hope she and I
will forever
and always
(you know,
til the end of time)...
just BE.

I want to hold your hand and feel its creases, the same that wrap around your pen. I want the immensity of your palm mantled on mine, its warmth that bruises my knuckles. I want to feel your fingers, and kiss the cold away its tips.

And if in every entanglement my touch could whisper, it would reassure,* "I love you. I'll forever hold your hand. I'll forever adore the solace I find in the tightness of your grip. I love you - and I am not letting go. So please don't."

You are the rain that washed away the pain.
The ray of hope that made me believe again
The glimmering star that shown me light
The blackest dark in the night that calmed me just right.
The lone flower in the vast green meadows
The pleasant tune in a song's mellow
The humbleness that set aside my ego
The dream I wanted to be with in my tomorrow

You are my strength when I am weak
The voice in the silence, with words I cant utter to speak.
You are my panda, you are my empress
I want to live my life with you to the fullest
I don't believe in difficulties over the rest
For the one above only put our capabilities to the test.

My dear there's more to you that meets the eye
I know you know it too.
I may falter at times, But I can never hurt you
For the love I shared is true.

If I were to live again
I'd strive out there to look for you
If I weren't able to seek you..
I'd pray to reach the highest heavens
Just to be with you.

My chest has been waiting,
Waiting awhile for your hands.
For I have cuddled you in the still,
Willing your arms to wake,
Embracing sentiments favour.

I have prayed your dreams
Would speak of this longing,
But ageless nocturnal gates
kept desire at bay,
All but until;
Epiphany's day.

Though
Acutely aware & awake.
This promise I have forged:

Tonight my sweet,
We
Shall blissfully
find solace
in sleep.

Drift now, to the safest place
Where you no longer bear the cold
Of the one you love not caring for you.

Where the burden of your failures
No longer holds you down
And is as far away as opening your eyes.

It's  where loneliness turns to warmth,
Hurt turns to solace,
And the agony of longing
Turns into a mending embrace.

The fare is free, the journey is short.
All you need to do, is close your eyes
And go to sleep.
