There it is, first light! The debut of dawn
another first - soft rays of a new day
fresh dew settling, cooling the lawn
the dew and irrepressible light make way
to this browning patch of earth
another prelude in my eyes
a gentle affirmation of life’s worth
in this glistening silver sunrise.

This freshness prods my lethargy
and is easy for me to take
but do I have the kind of energy
to allow a love without break
unconditional and pure
I wonder if I have it in me
to let such a love endure
to settle into me like dew - light and free.

seek me for pleasure;
and you might end up in pain
physically, and emotionally speaking.

Butterflies and clockwork hearts,
You put me together with those parts.
Gently you pieced like I'm art,
Making sure I don't fall apart.
A feeling I can't deny,
When I first opened my eyes.
Butterflies that feel so nice,
A heart that beats more than twice.
With our irises locked at each other,
I realise what is there to bother?
When you're with me,
It's all that matters.
This is written when I was thinking about how I was created by the amazing creator above! "For I am fearfully and wonderfully made." -psalms 139:14

My heart will not concede the spite I should be wielding for...
There are moments in life that could tear you apart. After taking it all in, is it worth your troubles? The answer is hardly ever yes.

Red
you may have cut me deep

but I danced in each pool

of my own blood

and with each drop

I fell in love

My life is like an iPad, once so full of energy and light.
Once so quick to learn, to play, to grow.

And then –
Broken.
Cracked.
Unfixable.

The light flickers out.
Abandoned.
Forgotten.
Worthless.
Replaced.

Because
Why would anyone see something in it?
Why would anyone try to mend the unmendable?

Right?

I am the sun rises
Not knowing i was their dusk
That dies silently
Hiding all their secrets
In the diary of my scarlet heart

I am their moon
I used to think
Not knowing i was their **** land
That they always walked on
With wishes to reach the sky

I am their purple flower
I thought
Not realizing to them i was cactus
They want to get rid of
To make space for the real flowers

I am their friend
I used to believe
Never really knew
I was the come and go person
The cigarette break
The always idol person......

How do you
Come to know
That you’ve been drifting away
From yourself?

You listen
To the echoes
Of your voice growing scarcer
By the year,

And perhaps
You have lost
The will to make that very call
Or answer.

The mountain
Is far now
There's no other way to return
But to search

But how do
You conclude
That you’ve been on a descent
Down to earth?

You look back
And wonder
“Did that mountain of your deeds
Weigh its worth?”
Written in August 2019.
