I'm a million miles away
In dreams that haunt me
Even when I'm awake

I look at your pictures everyday
I can't seem forget your face
My heart is lost and in disarray

Is that you on the crowded avenue?
I look for you everywhere I go
How come it's never really you?

It's so difficult to live again
In a world that you're no longer in
But I  still believe in miracles
Someday the world will end

I'm still learning to smile again
But not ready for love to begin
I wanted to believe in a miracle
I'm waiting for the world to end

I don't want you to fade away
I know you didn't want to leave
You fought so very hard to stay

If I could just stop dreaming
I could carry on without you
Your name I can't stop screaming

I barely manage to push through
But I can never stop loving you
And I honestly don't ever want to

I'm learning to love again
But it's hidden deep within
I still believe life is beautiful
Until this cruel world ends

I'm learning to smile again
I know you would want me to
I'm still waiting for life to begin

I know you don't want me lonely
But I will never stop loving you
You were always my one and only

I'm learning to live again
It's still hard to comprehend
I'll always believe in miracles
Until the world ends

Maybe we'll reunite in another life
I know we'll someday meet again
Perhaps it'll be when my life is over
I'll have to wait until the world ends

September 24, I sat in the passenger seat of your silver BMW as we talked about Oprah, and you pretended not to know the song “ Red Solo Cup.”
Two strangers conversed as if they were old friends catching up. You placed your hand on my knee, and without skipping a beat I rested mine on yours.
When we parked I kept talking hoping it would calm the butterflies in my stomach, but it was too late you lifted my chin with your curled index finger and placed your lips on mine.
The butterflies exploded sending an electrifying shock throughout my body. My  brain was on fire, as my lips melted into yours. You pulled away with a smile While I examined your eyes, to know if you had felt it too.

The deepest beginnings start by wading through shallow waters
A thought inspired by Ackyra Maver Hunt's "Maybe I like you", published on Poetizer.

I, no we, we stand here, here in this place, on this ground, we stand. Here, where The Great and Grand have stood, we stand.

Their Spirits from above, and here cover us, will bless and guide us and Our Generations for we are their generations.

Their greatness, their courage, their prayers abide here and we have no fear, we are secure in them.

A merging of lines, we are. Many cords make us strong and we, yes, we are here.

I look to my right and I see my rock she who holds my heart and holds me secure, the one without whom I would not be here. I look forward smiling confident I, no, WE are here.

Accept change
with open arms,
I promise you
that the road is
not that bumpy
and that you
will be just alright
Spread a kind song,
Unwind the dream,
Fall new on your veil.

Spread a soothing cold,
Twist the imaginary,
Surrender to the obscure burning.

I don’t need your permission to love

I don’t need your permission to think

I don’t need your permission to fight what’s best for me.

I don’t need your permission to heal
what you can not see.

I am going to blossom into a warrior
& shine like never before.

I will learn from my mistakes,
without your stares & your doubts.
Here’s to the society that thinks that they can control us and stop us from loving who we love, from thinking freely, from doing what we’re passionate about, from healing from our past, and thinking we can not change from our mistakes.
