like inhaling
rotten ****
bile in your throat
a lump
chest tightening
night frightening
never-ending
agony
messed mosaic
of broken dreams
hopes and wishes
glass shattering
veins smashing
mixing, mixing:
blood and tears
tears and memories
tears and promises.

loving you
is an everlasting winter.
beautiful, but
deprived of spring.

She glistens and sparkles
she shimmers the sun,
She’s whispered her rush since time has begun
With thundering clamour
And restless dilemma
Though she never veers out from her run.

Her hair is the wind,
her moods, the weather
Her heart a boulder of stone.
There’s ice to her touch
There’s death in her clutch
As she endlessly rolls alone.


Her form, indefinable
Her charms, undeniable  
As she spreads herself out on the sand.
With passion and fight
With wondrous delight
She sculptures herself on the land.

With white on her face
And heart all a race
With temper, she swirls up a fight
Then calm and demure
She’s silent once more
And bathes herself in the moonlight

curled next to you in my bed
is what i'd rather do
instead of lay in bed alone
thinking of things unknown
at least i'd get some rest
knowing that i'm lying next to the best
even if i couldn't
you'd try to sing me to sleep
with your voice i'd love to keep

Cuddled in my lap and then you say you need your space.
You tell me you're depressed yet there's a smile upon your face.

You push me away and then you tell me that you need me.
You tell me that you're worthless but that isn't the way I see.

Cigarettes, drugs, alcohol. You try your best to get clean.
You say you want a better life and then you question what it all means.

I wish there was a way that I could make you understand
The purpose of it all is how it feels to hold your hand.
Probably cringe-worthy and soppy but...

Why
Why all beings have
Their own grasped idea
When they hear
The word love

Why do people
Still pretend
To know its bounds
And what lies behind

Why are they seeking
Definitions and explanations
And ask "will it go too far,
Or just cease with a blur"

Why do others
Get afraid to take again
A step or two
And see a result

Why most people
Hesitate to trust
Thinking they would
Break like fallen glass

Why others do not want
To have this bliss again
Doubtful if they can
Correct the past mistakes

Why some feelings
Were left unspoken
So it would not lead
To ruins of valued things

Why does the mouth
Speaks lies and fiction
Contradicting the rush
Of the flow of the rhyme

Why others perceive
That love can hurt
Yet others believe
It is worth a chance

Why does love
Don't have rules
A set of definite,
Precise expressions

Love may be a whisper
And it indeed varies
Unpredictable
Comes in a surprise

No one can decode
The complexity of it
The only thing you can do
Is to ask "why"
