Walk Away

When you feel alone in a ‘friendly’ crowdRise up and walk awayWhen you feel small among the proudRise up and walk awayWhen you feel silenced in an echo too loudRise up and walk awayWhen you feel unseen, enveloped in a shroudRise up and walk awayWhen you feel your tears forming a misty cloudRise up and…

Something To Say

We all have something to say, something to shareA voice in our throat, waiting to enter an earSome words stringed together, forming a messageFlowing from our mouth, tired of splashing on a page A phrase here, some lines thereStaying silent, a thing so rare We all have something to say, something to shareA voice in…

Like A Sunflower

My day starts when he shows up at my doorstepThen I smile my widest looking at his bright cheery faceHis intense gaze makes me peep into his eyesAnd I lose myself in time… every time I find himHe casts a spell on me, my soul, my heart and my breathFor I can never think of…

Directionless

In this dark forest alone in the night I standWith nothing but a compass in my handI stay positive for I know the plan is grandAlmighty won’t forget and leave me to strand But my faith starts to waver ‘cause am without a randHow can I still sing his praise and that of his brand?I…

I’m Tripping

My eyes have a glaze of a hundred tearsAnd yet they feel at restMy ears are buzzing with a thousand soundsAnd yet they hear nothingMy head is pounding with a million thoughtsAnd yet it feels blank What is this trip that I’ve refused for a gazillion timesAnd yet it brings me back begging for it?

What Is Hope?

What is hope?For some it is the reassurance in their partner’s eyesFor others it is the smile on their child’s face For some it is the ringing of bells at morning prayerFor others it is the meal they share after a day of fasting For some it is their ever changing calendarFor others it is…

A Calm Gaze

Departed

Like a puff of smoke it rises above in the airAs if floating over life and death, you and meLighter than air it seems as it makes its wayUp to the heavens it leaps in a single bounce Leaving behind emptiness in my lap and your eyes For in this windowless room, right before youMy…

Hidden In my Eyes

My eyes have a rising storm, hidden behind the calmness of the breezeThere is raging fire in my eyes, hidden behind the icy glareAn expanse of darkness stays in my eyes, hidden behind the fairy lights

Too Much

My lipstick can never be too bold nor my skirt too shortMy walk can never be too slutty nor my smiles too flirtyThe hour can never be too late nor my signals too forward Your eyes can always be too prying and your hands too closeYour thoughts can always be too dirty and your actions…

A Free Flight

I see in you the desire to fly highFly high up in the air and conquerConquer the vast expanse of skySky where you belong and liveLive to be free from the groundThe ground that pulls you backBack you want to returnReturn to the roots that you once had I see in you the desire to…

Buried In Snow

Bury me in the cold snow todayWhere no gust of wind can swayAnd no shower of rain will sprayTill I lose myself and go astrayBury me in the cold snow todayPut me here to rest and frayWhere none crosses my wayAnd none to sit by and stayBury me in the cold snow todayTake my colors…
