#openup
I work at the edge, where the light of Awen beckons,   Drawing me back to the warmth of this earthly life.   Foraging into uncharted realms, brambles cross my face, thick and wild,   An unyielding maze where the shadows of my demons linger;   they are a little messed up.   Yearning to retreat, to find solace on familiar ground.   Visions of a goddess pulse an existence, so inspired I stand tall, defenses at the ready,   Nurturing the delicate blooms of change within.   In the quiet moments of within myself, I gather strength,   For transformation requires time, patience, and grace I humble my mind. One day, I will rise, petals unfurling to the sun,   To bring forth my gifts, sharing the beauty of my journey   With the world the seed is broadcast, as I climb steadily from the dark.

Adaptation
it is beautiful it is majestic and it is guileful and is eccentric a speck on the tower of wall that bridges and connects two different enthralls even fate dare not object i was on its foot, for i sought to grasp and tried to peek on the place it leads i listen to the jarring echoes the other side is full; a chaos it seems, but i felt solace in its mournful yet soulful melody i heard words that are familiar those that i chose to blur in my being for a long strife that i dwell to keep inside in an eternity i ought to release the beautiful words that is long chained i long to feel the majestic emptiness and sense the other side that is zestful and clutch onto its empathetic possibilities only if it bridges to a multitude, only if perspective it will connect, only if it is not unchained, only if it is opened.

Looking up at the sky, What do you see? When one tells a lie, How does one breathe? A man who tends to be shy, Opens up like a blade from sheath. Please don’t tell him good-bye; One more heartbreak may lead him to die.

Sheathed Dagger
maybe someday I’ll spill my guts to you lay out everything that has hurt me and is still hurting me give the story behind every poem I’ve ever written and heard and loved maybe I’ll tell you everything, you who was not here to witness who didn’t see the rise and fall of rome, the death of Latin but the survival of it’s plays you who hasn’t been here long enough for the unfurling maybe I’ll rip off all my petals show you the inner workings myself maybe someday, I’ll tell you all the parts that I leave out, when I comfort you from the same burdens that crushed me show you all the scars on my tongue, from biting it around you tell you the stories these scars held back maybe someday I’ll just simply tell you everything introduce you to my demons and let you see the monstrous teeth that sit in rows behind my own the blood under my fingernails, not all someone else’s and see what you do maybe someday I’ll tell you everything maybe someday I'll spill my guts to you maybe, maybe one day

Spill My Guts
Open up There are times When wrong feels right And right feels wrong There are times when You are cheated, denied, disrespected There are times when You are adored, cared, heard, loved There are times That tears you apart There are times That cheeres your soul Embrace walk in Embrace walk out If there's no love Then there should be No hate That's the life It's okay Breathe everyday Or stay dying

Haiku: Opening Up
Do I know your middle or even your last? Do I know your first or only more craft? All-in the cash to cover the spread drowning, our feet in the riverbed What is it that you feel I am and I can contain? I am slowly dieing, fleeting and insane The pathways above me are crowded untrue The mirror below me reminds me of you

After you I don't want to open up anymore. I told you everything Because I could You seem like the only one to stay You knew me the most But yet you did the worst thing You could do to me.

After you
One day I will muster all my courage One day I will not care for the judges One day I will clear all my grime One day I will vent out all my anger One day I will open up fearlessly 'Coz then I couldn't speak When it all happened once With me too! And yes, I will find a caravan Which is moving on It may be late But definitely in this lifetime To live once again, Forgetting all that happened once With me too! Not for the name or fame Not for a revenge or blame Just to sleep with peace Once again in my innocence Forgetting all those memories That still haunts me Those moments of shivering When it happened once with me too! Yes it happened With me too!

Don't you dare give me the cold shoulder, because I've told you, I don't like it when you hold it all in. Information's my key, so don't keep it from me, cause honestly, I want to know what's in your head. And are you aching, constantly breaking, faking, and I don't know what I'm supposed to believe. The truth is in your eyes, I don't want to see you cry, simply lies to cover up your privacy. But baby don't you wish that we.... Could talk.

Open up.
Let the tear roll down your cheek once in a while, cry out loud for everything you have been holding in since long time! Weep, weep and weep running out of breath or just sit with flowing eyes. Whatever suits you, calms you down just know a thing, crying isn't sign of being cow. Cowards are those who are scared to cry, scared to open floodgates once in a while...

FLOODGATES
We all hide things, For our own sake, Sometimes for our own safety. It's not disclosing the thing that hurts the most, It's who and how it's disclosed. I want you to know, & I mean every word of what I say " I'll die protecting your secret " You opening up to me is more precious to me than any other thing existing

Your secret
I looked at your eyes and they weren't just brown. They held mysteries and secrets inside. I noticed and was immediately bound; you didn't let me in, all you did was hide. It was not fair how much I opened up while you bottled all and left me guessing, as if I were a person that would rob, as if one day I would leave you hanging. I don't know who you thing I'd turn into, but I promise you I'm not like the rest. I would never leave you, nor learn how to, I promise I will give you all my best. So please, let me unlock your mystery, I promise we can make some history.

Open Up
Why are people scared to have their everything taken by someone? Jesus, I want nothing more than to have my everything taken away from me, stolen in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping. Quietly, without a sound. I want to wake up and realise someone thought parts of me was worthy of taking and worthy of loving. I want to make someone feel worthy of being loved and I want to make them feel like they're out of this ******* universe. And if they take my everything and run away and never come back, i'll hurt but I'll still sleep at night. I'll learn from it and grow from it but I'll be an emptier shell than before. Less to give to the next person. There's only so many times you can give your 'everything' to people before they all eventually strip you of everything you stood for and carve you from the inside out. Not leaving a trace of you ever being here.
