All my journals disintegrate to poetry
I begin a rant,
One point, two points,
Three in my head
Happy, angry, silly or sad
Rhetoric fully planned,
This happened, then that,
But soon, I begin uniting the words,
Sentences connected in meter and time
I'm lost in rhyme, pentameter, prose
Sublime
Lines flowing,
My mind rolling,
Memory erasing
Lost in something,
Distracted by creativity,
Fulfilled by a need that's in me,
Drained of the pent-up energy
Satisfied, sated and understood by the page.

Though I don’t want I cant help
but to Dream of the nights
When together we are alone
The world seems to be mine

For it is but my own luck I know will surely falter
My thirst is a grave company and I cannot satisfy
I want more till hurts till my well has run dry
I cant relent my own need for it is entrapped in my mind

Soon will you fade for you know what is to ensue
Though I try as I might I may never fully be rescued
For my hand is bleak as it is on a long winters night
The warmness fights while the cold stays alive

So if I am anything to much
If I am ever to soon
For what makes me feel alive
Is that which I pursue

Racing toward to stalk the ****
Ravenous in its hunt
Never to be quite fulfilled
Never it is enough

To surmise it is that which I have loved to much
Smothered till it bleeds thrown into the dust
Moderation is a word left unknown
Loving to much is a burdensome load

You helped me stand but then you would push me down
You were my king but now you're a peasant with a shattered crown
I use to play trick or treat with my heart
You played me like an old Nintendo 64 from the start
You were always player one
Never satisfied when you won
Your eyes grew more desolate
I would still believe in you so I would wait...
But no longer do you have control
I have a new strong real love to dole
You're game is over
And in the end I'm the one left with closure

by what unit is good enough measured
is it the calluses and cuts on a hand
the crack of a sore back
or by the number of times
skin meets pavement

is it an neglected apartment
the dust collecting on beloved projects
or number of friends
no longer waiting for a reply

tell me
to whom do you bottle your blood for
till when do you wash the sweat off
for what do you owe this pain
so where is the limit

              will I/they ever be satisfied
  
                         can i take a break yet
                or is this not good enough

The cold bites my nose
And the frost chills my lungs
And the wind is stinging my face.

But outside in this moment I'd rather be here than in any more comfortable place.

I close my eyes and I see your smile.
I’ve been imagining this moment for more than a while.

I love how your hazel eyes sparkle when you’re up to no good.
As if you know me more intimately than any other man ever could.

I’ve shared all my secrets
the good and the bad.
Baring my soul to you was simple, a second thought I never had.

I love to lay my head on
the hollow of your chest.
And way your beard tickles
as you suckle at my *******.

My whole body tingles at just
the thought of your touch.
Twisting and turning, the sheets wrapped tightly in my clutch.

Your long slender fingers trace
Across the top of my thighs.
As your mouth and tongue
Seek out my hidden surprise.

My heart sings with joy and pure ecstasy.
My voice screams out your name as you come with me breathlessly.

Together we tumble back
down to this world.
Replete and satiated, in each other’s arms we lay curled.

Never in my existence
have I felt more alive.
Without your touch, your kiss, your love
I don’t think I could survive.
This poem is about two lovers who’ve been apart and are looking forward to rekindling their love.

My dad is divine,
My mum is a gem,
My siblings are angels
I am a star,
We are a   content family ,
What we have is enough.
The love we share is enough,
To last us a lifetime.
The sunshine in our life is enough,
To make a bleak day look brighter,
The happiness among us is enough,
To keep our souls  alive.
The joys in our life are enough,
To endure all the sorrows.
The bond between us is strong
enough,
To keep us united forever,
The  patience in our life is enough,
To make do with what we have.
We are a blessed family ,
With The Lord looking over us.
Amen.

I remember when I was younger
I thought I had love figured all out
I would tell myself that if I just
Put my heart, mind, body and soul
Love would do the same
And all would be sweet as candy.

I lost myself.

I tried to change
Tried to be prettier
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be more smooth on the edges
All because I wanted to be enough for love
Even when I did all of that
Love wasn't satisfied.
I tried to change myself for the man I loved so that maybe, just maybe he would reconsider leaving.

Eid
Satisfyed with friends
Satisfyed with family
Satisfyed with place
Satisfyed with lyfe
Tell me, are you satisfied or happy?
