when the unfathomable
becomes imaginable,
seeing myself as fallible,
when falling for you
impatiently just
feels more practical,
it's how i know
what i never thought
could be actual
you are a masterpiece,
contrived of everything
unattainably
unobtainable
you know...
those things
we call magical?
an attraction
to your beauty,
is set in stone
just like how i can
be so stubbornly bashful
"sois belle à ta façon."
how you've inspired me
to be more masterful,
i'd happily be
chained to you
forever because
my heart is free,
and your priceless
love is untaxable
for you are everything
always the status quo,
inside my big sad head
and the root of my soul
thank you
my beloved time capsule...

It's only a game,

therefore there are no losers --


only new chances.

I do not dare yet,

I wait and leave it to chance --


which does not arise.

Missing you more
than you can imagine ok.
It’s been hard trying
to avoid these feelings
these past few days.
I don’t know if you
feel the same or even moved
on with someone else
but I just want you back,
fight for you.
You matter so much to me.
Im not asking to start
where we left off, just
continue to build this relationship.
You felt hurt & triggered
I honestly had no idea
So I take accountability for that.
I been trying to get this off my chest
for awhile now, because I really like you.
I don’t wanna wait
for another day to go by
without talking & trying.

Dear stranger: it's no secret
that times have been hard for everyone.
But you're not everyone, are you?
Maybe you lost someone.
Maybe you lost yourself.
Maybe you've been asked to do more
than you signed up for. Whatever's going on,
I know it may seem like you're losing control. Like you don't have a choice.
However this poem finds you,
I hope you come to find that you DO
have a chance to have a choice.
A chance to raise your voice.
I hope that someday, you accept
that you are worthy of love.
That you stop feeling guilty you survived.
But most of all, I hope that someday,
you wake up and find yourself grateful and happy to be alive

Tonight, I saw another blessing. How great is He to give me a friend this good and able to change, a living proof of His greatness. We are having a banter and conversation in one of our Group Chats and it amazes me how He truly works on us. Thank God! I am not the only one that is working on me. To my friends. To the people I cherish and know. To all.

Let me be clear: it will never be easy.
But it can get better.
But only if you give yourself a chance.
A chance to breathe. To grieve.
To love yourself.
To believe that things can get better.
A chance to believe in yourself.
In the end, it does come down to you
to take the first step.
But once you do, take your time.
You have the rest of your life to follow through.

You're my tap which has no label.
I have never been a gambling man but I want to wash in your sweet water.
It's often that I become so desperate for your touch that I take the chance.

Sometimes the water is so cold that I feel numb inside.
And other times it is so hot that I can feel my blood boiling.
But sometimes. Just sometimes.
It is the perfect temperature and it sends a fuzzy feeling dancing through my bones.

It's the chance that when I turn to you, you'll give me that feeling again. It keeps me coming back to gamble once more.

The sunrise
Promise of a new day is a blessing I don't deserve

The autumn
Chance to change it brings is a gift I won't accept

Thoughts of beauty make me resent myself

Pulled me up a thousand times yet I still dig yet another hole to crawl back into

Dormancy making heart itch with restlessness

Living life in a frightened state of inactivity

Leaving pain somewhere I won't find it again but somehow it always makes its way back home
Like a lost pet
