#glitters
We die a little bit
Each day and each night
As we live every minute
Gleeful or glum under the light.
We die in our sleep
And rise again if we’re lucky
And blessed. This is deep
Few people are truly canny or savvy.
Believe not in all the glitters
When it’s time to go or to depart
Gravity behaves like deadly creatures.
We die every day and every night
A little mum or sharp under the weight
As darkness exists deep in the heart.

Am I suffering beautifully?
Do I wear my agony like a crown?
Adorn it with pearls and jewels,
And parade it into town?
Is my pain reasonable enough?
Do I raise it up or tone it down?
I’ll try to cry pretty, tiny tears,
In fact, I'd do it in my gown!
For even in despair, I should be desirable,
Dare not to be emotional, dare not to make a sound.
To be a woman is to bleed, but glamorously.
There shall be glitters in the meltdown.

All that glitters isn’t always gold
Take my words and let them unfold
Maybe it was the night
That took me ahold
I always wanted to be right
But.
I can feel the knife carving,
Into my heart
Into my head
Will you leave me out in the cold
Turn to dust
Oh, how you are so bold.

I went to beautiful places
with you by my side
Basked you and I
in glitters of the sun
Ephemeral longing
like a riptide
it was shortwhile
and I don't know why
you come off a little bit shy,
tryna hide
that little little smile
but I know,
I know it's time
for me to open up
my eyes.

Sunshine gleaming
Against the evergreen trees
Shadows stretch along the river
Leaves fall, moved by the gentle breeze
The river glitters
The light spots flashing
The clear water dashing
Around jagged rocks
The current creates darkened ripples
Expanding upon the ridges
Inky patterns billowing
The swirls glint and twirl

Don't loose gold for glitters,
So just know me,
before you owe me..
I will know you,
Before i owe you..

Dreams and glories
Adventures and stories
Takes me to a fantasy roam.
Stumbled across a glittering treasured box,
And I lost my way back home.

The same dreams that have sustained you
could be the same ones to
end you.

In this vast galaxy powdered with glitter,
(each more bizarre than the other)
two lone stars drifted too close,
fluttering amicably as planets and moons pass them by –
shyly gleaming in the clouds or
slyly glinting sparks to the Sun:
destined to fall out of orbit whizzing to detonate a
supernova...

Glitters on the bags at night do shimmer,
While the eyes with tiredness do glimmer.

Sweet baby
Forgive me
I have sinned
A strayed from your love
Tenderness like a nightlight
In the darkness at the age of five
You give me warmth
I give you butterflies
Without you
Dispair is but an endless routine
Life filled with
Broken rose petals
Glitters
Fluttering hearts unseen
Lean your head
On my chest
I promise you
My heart will beat
