It Takes Two

 There is no story

of you and I.

Just an introduction

& long goodbye.

You can build your walls,

& I will cry,

But as you lay grout,

I will continue with life.

May turn my head

to see you smile,

but keep a distance

as you lay tile.

Empty gestures

lie across your bust;

For in your true heart,

you will never trust.

Believe me,

I can lead a horse to water,

show him to drink,

that we should trust one another,

But if he turn head,

close an eye,

the stream we drink

is sure to dry.

Ode To A River

 Ripple away, fair river -

caressing each stone

as if it were your own.

Loving it,

until, one day, it erodes...

& becomes a part of us all

The Forest

They tell me;

Say, nothing is better than

'this' or 'that'.

But,

have you ever been

blissfully alone?

hearing rare, your own mind,

only bluebirds and the skies.

& as you sink into peace,

opening eyes,

you stare straight up -

& just as you do,

a wish flower pass by.

you feel such bliss,

close your eye

& pass judgement, that

If ever within such happiness,

one could die

& ne'er have a regret.

For, what a beautiful life. ♡

Free Love

sometimes

we lose sight

of love

& of each other.

when the windows cry

all muddy

from last night's words.

but outside

it seems so clean

so free.

"That's me"

she said, smiling.

That's who I want to be.

Free.

A Little Bit More

Every

today

is a little bit better

than yesterday...

Today my mind is wiser,

breaths taste sweeter,

friends grow closer,

and my heart be more rich

than it had ever before.

Every today

is a little bit better

for I,

am a little bit more.

Sewn

I am so sad
most the time,
I dont see why.

I try to look at the positive,
every single instance, every single time.
But even when I see,
how happiness is in the distance;
Coming, and I can spot it,
I know I've felt it,
and I remind myself of the "how could I have even been sad?" moments
It never matters.
Because the down moments last longer,
they're worse,
they eat me.
Taking pieces out of my skin.

It's as if I was being chewed on,
then sewn up.
& every time I am sewn,
they say "all better now"
and it is better.
Until I am chewed on again.
Until I am told how good being sewn is,
again.

I am a tired ragdoll
being chewed and sewn,
chewed and sewn.
Pieces of me gone,
parts of me hanging, damaged,
but I keep going, I keep existing.
Just to be chewed again
sewn again.

The Deep End

Agony,
again.
I miss you
my friend.

Empty briefcase,
idiot idol.
Forget my name,
kill my recital.

I am nothing,
no one
ever.
For, I let you go.
I'm drowning against the river.
Tear my heart
from among the dividends.
Net my love
with the weeds and loose ends.

I am a fool.
I miss you, deep end.

Esteem

I am ugly.
Naked fruit
To be sampled
By the masses.

Punch One Love

You should remember,
Right?
The way it Hits me
in photographs
against the light.
Where the marks make me,
and the toll takes me
& I'm left to the river by the sea.
Just a sandlot,
with a speck of me.

Reborn

Make haste...

I was living for yesterday;

all this time 

I have wasted.

Rebirth my eyes,

& I will breathe for today;

it is the day 

I become infinity,

the day 

nothing touches my body.

My brain feeds my inner purity

& I reach for the stars,

that were always mine.
