LONG OVERDUE
HOPE Feb 2022
Debts get written off,
whenever a debtor become insolvent
And I wonder why it can't be the same procedure,
for the agony shrouded deep within
It has been long overdue.

LOVE TRIANGLE III
HOPE Jan 2022
"I love you,
I love you too"
Yet the season came to an end,
Once they realised they were not meant to be

I tell you, sometimes love is never enough.

One can only grasp in her dreams

HOPE Feb 2022
I would close my eyes everytime,
So you didn't get to read between the line,
of how I turned into a broken vessel.

ENDLESS LOVE
HOPE Nov 2022
There are moment I just miss you,
Like then, like now, right here,
Where your presence is forever hidden,
I just miss you

Divided by oceans,
Separated by Heaven,
Your face hidden forever,
I just miss you

I loved you when you visited,
I loved you when you packed and left,
Even when you broke my heart,
I loved you

No! Wait,
How can love ever be in the past tense,
When it reside in the heart till forever?

I love you, I love you,
And endlessly, I love you
And if forever is a long time,
That's how I'll continue to love you,
With no expiry date.

HOME OF LOVE
HOPE May 2021
Was once nonexistent
No companion, no home
Just wandering around
Like a bee trapped on a can
Until the man of my calibre
Came along and occupied this heart
And love found home

I WITH MY BROKEN WINGS

Her veil were divided in between,
while she hid behind the curtain of shame,
walking through the street of frustrations,
while her eyes spoke volume of agony.

The colour of blood within me
That have been outpouring for decade

But how could you notice?
When I also take pleasure sighting
Over my veins becoming dehydrated

I STAYED ON THE LINE
AS YOUR VOICE WENT  STILL AS THE NIGHT

LOOKED UP IN THE SKY
TO WATCH YOU TRANSITION
TO THE THEE OTHER SIDE

YET I BLINKED TWICE

If only you learned to love me through my imperfections,
The affair of our hearts would have been perfected.

Only your absence,
Taught me the significance of time
For in the presence,
I only have recollections hidden within my heart,
Not your availability.

IMPULSIVE MIND
HOPE Oct 2020
On this midnight hour
I desire to pen...

What is in the mind
What is in the heart
And unleash the heaviness in my spirit

To allow the ink of this pen to drip
And drive the desire within thee

The hands are willing
Yet the mind is impulsive
With omnipresent emotions

HOPE'S QUOTE 4

Fear is more like a stress made disease, it only exist when you allow your mind to dwell on it. Becareful of what you let your mind process.

I LOVED YOU YET I HATED YOU
HOPE Oct 2020
All I ever wanted
Was to love
And to be loved in return
Yet my wish was never granted

All I ever desired
Was to be a resident
In thy heart
Just as thou were in mine
Yet I became homeless

Every tears I shed
That needed thy comfort
Instead of a cloth you threw in my face
To wipe those salty water escaping
Yet you found it ****

Every hug I longed for
That you threw me a pillow
As if it can give me the warmth
I felt in thy chest
Yet you persuaded

Every kiss thy lips ached for
Just to take away the emptiness
I felt in thy presence
Even if it was just a touch and go
Yet I was denied

Every touch I yearned for
That you left unattended
As you closed that door
And handed down the note
Written " Be out of my apartment by 11h00"
Yet I waited for an apology

I lost myself in the process
While being treated as an option
Yet you continued to progress
Still I loved you yet I hated you

HOUSE WITH NO HOME
HOPE Feb 2022
No embrace,
No affection,
Just a titanic building called a house,
With no warmth of your nature

Just so you know,
You took our home with you!

Love finally found me at ease,
Just the way I fall asleep,
When I close my eyes in a minute,
And find myself in the fantasy train within the next.

BROKEN NOT DESTROYED
HOPE Jun 2021
If you parade with your pains,
What would be the significant of smile?
If you parade with each drop of tear,
How are you ought to feel the rain drops?
If you wander with the visibility of your bruises,
What will make the dance circle not be painted red?
If you only hold broken crayons,
How is the rainbow ought to be coloured then?

Yes, you are broken,
Yet not destroyed

CHAPTER 28
HOPE Apr 2022
Perfect numbers, they say,
A symbol of divine life purpose
Came in with a thick breath of harmony,
As though everything is anew,
Yet the ocean within her eyes
Is still as deep as her yesterday thoughts,
Of becoming more richer, magical,
More kinder than she were last season.

A PHENOMENA NEW YEAR
HOPE Jan 2021
Contemplation always lies
Between I do and I don't
Primarily on yes or no
Definitely not in-between
That is not a counterclaim
Of whether you accredit prodigy or misfortune
Either Signs and wonders
But to her lies a sacred divination
Which permit her to wish you
a phenomena new year
146 · Apr 2021
LET IT GO
HOPE Apr 2021
It was this other day
Picture it in your mind
Pen it in your heart
Once the ink is dry, let it go

Dry bones once breathed life upon
For supernaturals to come into existence
Became dry and useless once again
Just like useless agony, let it go

Then its back to reality of miserableness

HOPE Aug 2022
Since you gained your wings,
They now refer you as my past,
Yet you are forever present,
In my heart, In my thoughts
And in our frozen reminiscences
Of which each glance Stir the pool of Bethesda,
within my eyes, every time.

BROKEN MIRROR

On a broken mirror
Clothed with a smile
Yet fragmented as the reflection

DELIVERED PEN
HOPE Jan 2021
He chose her
Before she was born
And placed the ink
In the finger tip of her hand

Inside Mama's womb
He commended thy hands open
And handed down a scroll
Which carried a pen

Thy words cometh out of thy heart
Shall pierce like a sharp sword He said
And In the palm of His hand
She was kept safely hidden
While her words blast like a pointed arrow

MIRROR
HOPE Jul 2022
I pushed myself to the mirror
Yet we looked at each other
With no recognition...
HOPE Nov 2020
If and if only
You can unlock this trunk
Lift up this plate
Over this already bleeding heart

Maybe and just maybe
You can shrug off....
    this pain
    this emptiness
    this numbness
    this heaviness
    this fullness
let alone this unconsciousness one feel
Yet not ready to let go
Of the comfortability of the darkness
But drained of holding on to such burden
Sometimes we get too comfortable in a place where the heart keeps bleeding. We feel like it's supposed to be like that whereas there is light somewhere.
137 · Sep 2021
WEIRD
HOPE Sep 2021
Its the feeling you feel
Not spoken in so many words
Or in a language precisely understood
Just one word, maybe this and that
But it is unexplainable, as love is
Definitely causing a scar, of holding on
In hope and in faith,
Yet a new day is not so new anymore

As they upheld you,
with their precious wings,
I thought they will stop a minute,
halfway through to Heaven,
look at my fragile heart not ready to let go,
Yet nothing.

A HEART THAT HAS LOVED

I should have loved you from a distance,
That way I would have preserved this fragile piece of mine.

SHE WRITES
HOPE May 2020
When she's happy,
she writes
When she's sad,
she writes
When she's hurt,
she writes
When she misses,
she writes
When there is no wink of sleep in the middle of the night,
she still get in touch with her ink and a paper

She has found her hiding palace,
in the hands of her beautiful black diary
She has found comfort,
in the fascinating creation of her pen
That exquisite glance she get everytime she get in touch with her writings,
gives her a new breeze out of nature
The feeling of having to express her feeling without judgement,
gives her new outlook on life
Words are her chariots
Inks are her swords
Writting is the stain in her veins
134 · Jan 2021
BROKEN REFLECTION
HOPE Jan 2021
I looked upon the sunset meeting the moon
As I sat there on the other side of the road
Lost in a train of flashbacks that kept moving
For a decade and century without reaching a destination
And all I had was this pocket-sized mirror before I
With a reflection of myself and I upon it
But all she saw was a broken piece not braced for reconstruction

CHORDS

Would it make sense
How the emotions waves subdues
And desert me giggling through raindrops?
130 · Apr 2021
SHE MADE IT
HOPE Apr 2021
There were decades
Where it felt like years
Hours that felt like months
Minutes that felt like days

Each second feeling like
The sun could no longer rise
Where her eyes are lifted up
Rather filled by this twilight

Every morning welcomed
By puffy eyes within her face
No longer cheeky laugh
That happiness looks as

Bit under the weather
Emotions all over the place
Silent in His presence
Tears doing the talking

For the longest time she smiled
Revealing the glimpse of her dimples
As a sound of a victory
Through the storm she made it
130 · Dec 2021
ANSWERED DEVOTION
HOPE Dec 2021
I never prayed for you,
I prayed for my soul

For I longed for peace,
I desired love

To see butterflies,
In someone's eyes

As mine sparkle like,
a midnight twilight

I prayed for a brotherly love,
I never experienced

Something to challenge me,
To see a better reflection of me

I never prayed for you,
Yet God gave me you.
129 · Sep 2021
THE VIEW
HOPE Sep 2021
A beautiful Spring Monday
with lilies dancing in the sun
with the melodies of the bees chanting
like happy feets in the musical concert

The butterflies roaming around
wearing their colourful clothing
which they cannot see
yet the world can

It looks overwhelming,
you should see the view
129 · Sep 2021
THE END
HOPE Sep 2021
Of what once was called love,
The enigmatic intimacy
sparkling as diamonds
Ocean blue as violets,
Look, it doesn't look red as Roses anymore

Flashback sails within the galaxy
As clouds journeys within the sky
Grief has taken over the dance
And happy feet seem to find no rhythm
In the end all withered, like flowers it did

HOPE Feb 2022
Sometimes I dive in the ocean I'm unable to swim,
Too deep and three hundred and sixty degree freezing,
A trauma on its own right?

Well, I drown while wearing my smiling face,
with no one to pull me up,
but a pen and a piece of a paper.

AN ANGEL OF NO COMPASSION
HOPE Feb 2022
The execution take place without our Will,
Yes! No! Steadfast or not,
The Angel shows no compassion.

You board the train already geared to take off,
With no alert who will be getting off from here,
You or the passenger next to you!

HOPE Jan 2023
I'm gonna shut the world,
And just be on my own,
At times

Don't take it otherwise,
You are not at wrong,
It is all me

An introvert,
Who need to recharge,
Away from anyone

From the head to the toe

POETRY
HOPE Jun 2021
Poetry is a song
Full of mellifluous verses
Written within the galaxy

Once you start rendering
It keeps flowing
As though the sky is pouring
Leaving you mesmerized
As if the ink can be stoppable
124 · Dec 2020
IS IT WORTH IT?
HOPE Dec 2020
To dwell on laments,
Which corrupt the mind,
Ingest the soul,
And effectuate aperture to the heart?

Laments that only breed,
lividity,
Anxiety,
Even trepidation?

Initiating self-condemnation,
While free holding probability to Rise beyond
                                                          ­   Move past
                                                            ­ And letting go?
124 · Nov 2022
LOVE FOUND ME,
HOPE Nov 2022
with just one stolen glance into each other's eyes,
a picture perfect of our love was designed

we laid on each other's arms throughout the night,
and made promises too perfect to be broken

Honestly, if eternity calls our names,
I'm picking up the call,
and get to do this lifetime thing with you
123 · Oct 2021
IT IS GOD
HOPE Oct 2021
When she hold on in a breaking moment
Through emotions no one would understand,
It is Him

When she lays down under the tears of heaven
That ushers tears on her eyes
To the glimpse of heaven,
It is Him

When she think she is healing
Then in between breaks down
Yet never gives up,
It is Him

That uphold her hand
Capture her heart
And never let go,
It is God
121 · Jan 2021
YOU WERE GONE

I waited for you on the roadside
Under the umbrella shadow you made
And I lingered till the sun fade
Yet you never appeared

HOPE WHISPERED,

Yet nothing happened today

Either battles nor victories,
Compliment neither condemnation,
Not phone calls neither emails,
Of satisfactory news either unlawful,
Nothing of sadness either of happiness

Yet nothing happened today,
Hope whispered.

HER DAY IS DONE
HOPE Mar 2021
Till our eyes were ocean deep in the red sea
God knows we prayed
Till our bodies could no longer race against our heartbeat
God knows we prayed
Stood in the gap for the life of an amicable soul
As if we had the supernaturals to stop the universe
But still you said, "her day is done"

In the middle of the night
You strolled down the garden of Eden
With the angels singing holy holy
And picked up the most blossoming lilly
Of all the roses that were fading
Hand in hand shining like a piece of diamond
"Well done, well done" He said,
As He took her home, her eternal home
Today we lost an angel, She went home to be with the Lord😭
