Love is a terrible thing-
The heart breaks to thousand pieces
Thousand of wishes spread across the ocean like dust
The anguish and guilt of shameless thoughts are burnt
Ashes suppressing concealed hunger and desires
Of hidden blushes and flirtatious eyes
Love is a terrible thing-
Un-return, the heart shatters
Heartfelt thunders soon follow lonesome rain drops,
The angels are crying, oh how I love you so,
The words’ used and tossed like a sack of rice
The birds, not at church, are feeding in the park
Love is a terrible thing-
The emotions evoked unseen thoughts
A cocoon of bashful feelings
Dreams and hopes burned like a witch
In Salem’s town square, I long and prayed
No answer, what have I done wrong?
Love is a terrible thing-
For once the heart knows and recognizes
It kinship, it travels across time and space
No doubt, a heart sits and waits for its better half
Neither wealth nor beauty can play a foul game
Love in the end is a terrible thing-
For now that I had a taste, I want no other
I would wait and affirm the rightful heir to my heart
Thousand of wishes, and thousand of kisses,
All left unshared, concealed in vivid purity
Love is a terrible thing-
For sure when the heart stops beating
Love will continue, diffusing no patience for death
Love will continue, until better souls meet half way—again.
Love is a terrible thing- for once the heart experience love
It settles for no less, contentment plays no part.
Fire can burn me
But also keep me warm
Water can drown me
But also quench my thirst
Food can choke me
But also feed me
Life can kill me
But also free me
Love can hate me
But also carry me
Between good and bad
I wouldn’t know one without the other
If I didn’t have another to
Compare.
It’s there, patiently waiting
The loneliness slowly skulking
Secretly entering the corner of my eyes
I try not to blink. Please don’t blink.
The tears won’t stop.
Breathe
Breathe
I can do this!
I been through worst then this
But at the moment comparison doesn’t come close
I should know better, I’m stronger then this-
Breathe
Breathe
Waiting, I keep waiting
Every word is a knife cutting me deeply
The layers peeling like Spanish onions
The layers uncovering like Russian Dolls
Breathe
Breathe
I can do this; of course I can do this!
I have been through this before:
13- Daddy left
20- Mama left
Now am older, wiser, but some how
The pain is stronger, the tears unstoppable
I don’t know whose next?
I don’t want promises, love, and peace
I want to fight so that way when you leave,
The pain, will be numb, dead-
Breathe
Breathe
Somehow between reminding myself to breathe
I forgot to live.
Sing to me.
Slowly and softly,
A lullaby, please.
Laugh with me till we cry.
Oh my, am I bleeding?
I thought you could keep me
Away from danger.
But danger-
When I open my eyes
And the fairies are gone,
Lolita had left me,
Rather I stopped believing,
Mr. Rabbit is still missing one of his ears.
Danger resumes itself once again. Continue reading →
I see her, she walks along the sand
Light, care free, her feet dancing with the land
I hear her sing,
What melodies, what tune?
Mystical like the playing of a loom
The night is dim, the mood is still
She dances, with free will,
A hop, a skip, the sway of her hips,
She dances, with the tune from her lips
I watched her as she flows,
Flawless with the wind
My eyes are still, I dear not blink
Don’t you dare or my heart will sink,
Lids are heavy, eyes are teary
Blink I must, eyes are weary
