The darkness holds desires
Through life is always there
Presence that never expires
Can always feel his stare
Waiting to take happiness
Step off a ledge to get away
That only brings me more stress
I struggle every day

Life is not about money or material things
It's about love and the joy it brings

The sunrise
Promise of a new day is a blessing I don't deserve
The autumn
Chance to change it brings is a gift I won't accept
Thoughts of beauty make me resent myself
Pulled me up a thousand times yet I still dig yet another hole to crawl back into
Dormancy making heart itch with restlessness
Living life in a frightened state of inactivity
Leaving pain somewhere I won't find it again but somehow it always makes its way back home

Under the cover of darkness people try and get away with many things
and then they may suffer the consequences or scorn this activity brings.

I catch a glimpse of myself
in everything
a miniscule glimmer
a tinkling whisper that floats into
my consciousness
I see it in wild beasts
who flash a feral grin
I see it in the wind
as it tears across the trees
It is even in the sun
when it folds into the horizon
"Like calls to like"
Some say
and believe it to be true
Clenched fists
choked laughs
trembling lips
A ravaged piece of me contracts
at the aching heart I know
is within that beautiful exterior
Perhaps, deep down, our soul is sewn
of the same material
Perhaps there is a single stitch
that binds us together
And all it takes is a single
snip
to cleave it in two.

i was told once
as a joke
that i bring the rain
everywhere i go
i clenched my teeth
and softly laughed
while looking at them
shining like little suns
their sun-rays danced around the room
pure and free
and untainted by the rain
that was pouring all over me
i felt my eyes turn into oceans
as i gazed at the cloudy sky
while the rain was pouring down
every single drop felt like mine

*There is no love in my life
No one to hug and hold tight...*
-
I don't feel that presence
To know they'll be there
I'm not warm and secure
By somebody who cares
-
I am empty; alone
Only hollow inside
On my face show a smile
But just want to cry
I am trapped in a cage
My one wish; To be free
Can't escape my own skin
Life's a joke played on me

your look saturates
your focus brings me repose
and rattles my bones
my heart overflows
as I witness your passion
all day I could gaze
dire desire
shivering at the thought of
a vanishing graze
never more than a
fleeting glance or short - lived touch
our blockades entrench
our confines have names
mine is called he, yours is she
our shackles we vowed
our love manifested
if perhaps time allowed
us as one maybe
left unrequited
we are left unsatisfied
us; left unanswered

I invested in love.
Then I kindled it,
With faithfulness.
I sowed the seed,
Then I watered it,
With so much care.
I am so well-versed with life,
Then I know a thing about it,
With patience, it only ripens.
I want it to grow,
Then I must care,
With high patience.
I planted the tree,
Then I must wait,
With selflessness.
