There are cracks in the mask
because there are cracks in the foundation.

Hazy,
what was it all like before we divvied our nation?

Mother's and children
helpless in separation.

Give me the good news
when all I see is complication.

Who decided what's ours isn't theirs?

Crossing, drowning, they're running out of flares.

these pieces of my heart
too small to pick up
too fragile to put back together
but when you hold me
maybe
i don't need to be fixed
white and black keys together, in a piano creates the beautiful music,
oxygenated and deoxygenated blood together, play role in chambers , to create living cardiac,
fire and water together, sacrifices to make the powerful gold,
you and i together, live to make a beautiful meaning story..
Together can achieve anything ✌☮

Where might they have gone?

Why haven't they returned home yet? –


I think anxiously.
General anxiety of parents about their children, and of children about their parents when they are not at home in the evening

All through the trouble, they hold on
For darling, when life hits you
You try to stay strong.
Short hair, a cup of cappuccino  that’s all you need
Maybe a wine or two
But darling, let me hold on to you
When you see her
A funny haircut but those brown eyes
What does she need
When all hope dies?
Oh, Darling it’s you
And it’s forever true
So, hold on to my heart
Don’t leave me ever
Until the stars give in
Keep believing forever and forever.

Do you remember the rain?
The sound of gentle drops
Pattering down, through the drain,
Gushing, flowing, until it stops.
Do you remember the storm?
Harrowing sheets in a torrent
Streaming down, blurring forms,
As the water roars to end its descent.
Do you remember the wind, howling?
Shaking and crashing and moaning about,
Like some beast fighting and prowling,
With anger bursting and spewing out.
I remember nothing, and gladly to be true.
If I remembered something, I was safely next to you.

Even though you could feel it
                     fathomless than your soul.

We glimmered into each other's lagoons,
            and for that finite moment we
swam within the moment of the
   past,
          future,


present.

That even though you were
                bleeding out, we knew that
we were one the blade, you, me


                          us.....

I didn't pull it out,
as I knew id lose you.
               Instead, I shredded my shirt,
    collected it around the wound
that was never meant to be.

I was a killer of many dreams,
            but you were the reality that
awoke me to the possibility of u and me.

As u bled out we wrote a story of what was,
   could have been...

911 was our ring tone of love,

And the ambulance was the church bells
             of our blisful joyning.

When the investigation of our meeting was
                                                                ­    over.
We were together,
the scars of both united of us,
                                that we were meant to be.

But love has many sharp edges and we both
           had a blade under our pillows..

Sweet dreams were  balance on serrated edges

Don't stand so tall and mighty
Under the weight of those you've wronged
For one day they might not be so helpless
And as the collective rises
You alone will fall
