5774 days ago,
You appeared in my night,
365 days ago,
You came back within sight,
122 days ago,
Suddenly you chose to escape,
Leaving me alone
With memories to reshape.
Now I sit
Next to the old olive tree,
Counting its rings,
One, two, three...
You know how
I'm patient
And life has shown,
So resilient.
One day, maybe
You'll send a sign
And again,
Let our hearts entwine.*

If I could capture stardust,
I would.
I'd bottle it up
and gift it to you
forever.
We Live
We Love
We Die

And in between it all
We get hurt

Sometimes again and again
By a lover or by a friend

When death comes, are we all alone?
I wonder if the pain will finally be gone

Do we forget the heartache when we are taken away?
Do we forget the people who created our pain?

I wonder what’s on the other side
This life on earth has been one hell of a ride
Of all the ways you've laid waist
to the Fortressess of Love I ***** in the realm of my emotions...

Of all the brittle limbs you send back crumbling on which once grew life I sent to you like pawns before me in this dry territory where the dust disturbs the view of the silvry illuminations in the sky...

Of all these things I've said, and the things I've not said...

At least, they let me know that you know I'm alive.
I could not sleep, nor think.
So I wrote a poem.

A flaw.
Small.
No one notices, probably.
It’s nothing.
Calm down.
It's fine, calm down.
You’re fine
It’s the spot
not you.
No worries
You’re fine.
People would ****
to be you
to have what you have
your looks
They’d ****.

****
****
****.

This flesh desires
a love so pure
having never had
a preconceived idea
not know where or
how it would appear

Thoughts not of how
a mind maybe blown  
by the touch of a love
less of us in motion
there is no need for
a love notion

Where expressive musing
is not need to be express
expectations of what the
opposition is not to neglect
the two differences of love
Love is not seen
Love is not felt
Love has no smell
Love has no taste
Love is being

Quiet

I've never liked the word Quiet
The word pulsates through my veins
Clawing at my neck
Flashes in my brain
Etched on my forehead
"You're so quiet."

I sit in the room full of people
Yet I am alone.
They're laughter bubbling up and overfilling the room
Like the cauldron they stir
Full of questions like,
"You don't talk much do you?"
And all I can do is shake my head shamefully.

I want to scream out loud
"Can you hear me now?" I cry out.
I am in this empty cave of oblivion
And all I hear are the taunting echoes
"You're so quiet."
"Speak up."
And all I can do is shake my head shamefully.
The peace releases the tension
Over work nerves calm down
Body goes till it can't go anymore
The crazy mind wanders back for more
The adrenaline rushes though the body
Never quit till they show a sign of weakness
Dig down deep tire them
Beat them before they think
they have the upper hand
Stand talk prove to them
Mostly to yourself you belong
Doing right oppose to wrong
Forget all those who are head strong
