Secreted behind these four walls
Palace under siege
Is it death or freedom for me?
to compliment Old Fashioned Sanctuary

My pen is dripping
from my heart and soul,
hoping to grow
a bit more beautiful
each day.

The one who left you in storms
can never give you rainbows
and sunshine.

When the earth dies
The sky will not remember me
But I think the water will
When I stare at mirrors
My eyes disrobe the lies
And shadows of my mind
Til I'm left with emotions
Creaking on worn floorboards
Stepping into a noose
Kicking the insecurity out
And waiting to find out
If I died
Or was set free
//On anxiety and insecurity//

I'm learning that I am extremely insecure about myself and am terrified of loneliness even though I tend to keep people at arm's length.
The kisses you strategically placed on my skin gives me deja vu,  I called out your name igniting a flame that started from you.

Girl please don't put out this fire, it's been awhile since I felt something where I lost myself.

I beg you, please continue.

Cné

It’s only a smudge in his eyes
A smear of lips on paper from skin
When apparent, meanings give rise
For it’s a lipstick kiss on a napkin

A longing for breathtaking kisses
She sends his way to imagine
of their lips in sensual caresses
with a simple kiss on a paper napkin

when I

look at you

... ..

fantasize,

the sweat
pours out,

from each
and every
pore
Life
is a caption

It's not
where you
have been;
it's where
that you
are going

Change course
if the
road ahead
is cloaked
in despair

But just remember;

every road
that you
encounter
is in need
of repair
Flawed are we in totality
