I can’t stop how I feel
I stare at your pictures for hours on end, dreaming and fantasizing of holding you close. I imagine the feeling of my hands on your bare skin, just being with you, feeling the warmth of your embrace. But I know it’ll never happen because I blew it with us, and that realization pierces through me like a knife. Still, I can’t stop myself from fantasizing. I think about you for hours, losing track of time in a whirlwind of impossible dreams, until reality crashes down on me and I remember that these scenarios will never come to be.
You’re so beautiful, so funny, and every time I see...
You’re so beautiful, so funny, and every time I see...

You were a fun experience
You were a fun experience
a fleeting burst of color
in the grayscale monotony of my days.
Your laughter echoed in my heart,
a melody now faded and distant,
making every moment spent with you
a bittersweet memory.
The adventures we once embarked upon,
the little secrets we shared,
and the endless conversations we had,
each one now a haunting reminder
of what once was.
You taught me the true essence of joy,
how to find it in the simplest of things,
and how to embrace it fully,
without any reservations. ...

WONDERS OF THE WORLD
You wield the beauty of all the world’s wonders.
It resonates from your delicate skin,
Shining in the light of your eyes,
Flowing through your hair, like the Nile River,
An eternal cascade of grace and splendor.
Your beauty is projected in all that you do,
Every gesture, every smile, a testament to your essence.
You have the grace of all the angels in heaven,
A celestial elegance that blesses every moment.
Like Proverbs 3:15-18, it speaks so true of you:
“She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with...

WHAT SHE WAS.
She was everything to me.
The mere thought or sight of her would envelop me in waves of joy and boundless love.
She was like an angel, wrapped in the divine aura of God.
She was beauty incarnate, the very essence of grace and splendor.
She was the light that illuminated my darkest heart, casting out shadows with her radiant presence.
She was the breath of air I needed to survive, the sustenance of my soul.
She was one in a billion, a rare Jem in a sea of ordinary stones.
She was like a poem penned by the Holy Spirit, every word imbued with sacredness...

SOULS CALLING
In the world of dreams one night,
I saw your shining light.
Roused in the wee hours' silent hush,
I embarked on this, an uncharted rush.
Yet, our destinies hadn't converged,
I pressed on, an eager soul submerged.
Down the road with no set guide,
Drifting through the contours of my mind.
After a prolonged drive, as the sun reached its noon,
I found solace in a roadside café's boon.
To my surprise, there you stood,
In the company of friends, smiling, as you should.
I approached with a greeting so sincere, ...
I saw your shining light.

The urge
They ask him where he’s been
He’s been kinda of dead
He was half way under the moon
Somewhere in his head
The shadows greet him
And Sun awakens him
But nothing quite helps
Him feel alive within it
He misses the warmth
He misses his purpose
He struggles with the guilt
Of not being worth it
Struggles with the pain
Of being the one who made it
And being angry at the world
No longer helps him
Bandages won’t work
This pain won’t be healing
His skin is peeling
Mind left reeling
Fighting this urge ...
He’s been kinda of dead
He was half way under the moon
Somewhere in his head
The shadows greet him
And Sun awakens him
But nothing quite helps
Him feel alive within it
He misses the warmth
He misses his purpose
He struggles with the guilt
Of not being worth it
Struggles with the pain
Of being the one who made it
And being angry at the world
No longer helps him
Bandages won’t work
This pain won’t be healing
His skin is peeling
Mind left reeling
Fighting this urge ...

Your eyes
How could i possibly describe them
Before I met you colors were just colors
But your eyes, they made me find my favorite one. Your eyes are like the stars that twinkle in the night sky beautiful and unique in every sparkle.
I know many people have fallen in love with you due to your eyes because it reminds of what peace looks like and beauty
But in your eyes I found my world, my soul, my resting place
Each time I look at you a constellation of moments happen and each time you blink its like looking at shooting stars
Your gaze holds me in place like a trance...

Alone
Reflecting on my memories
Slowly time passes me by
Heartache never seems to ease
The reasons for my painful cry
I lie here awake and think
Is this how life will always be
Desolate stares I cannot blink
Consumed by this misery
I do not want another year
A year of the unknown
Haunting me my greatest fear
Another year where I'm alone
Slowly time passes me by
Heartache never seems to ease
The reasons for my painful cry
I lie here awake and think
Is this how life will always be
Desolate stares I cannot blink
Consumed by this misery
I do not want another year
A year of the unknown
Haunting me my greatest fear
Another year where I'm alone

My shattered heart
I scoop the shattered pieces between my hands.
Little shards sometimes snap and penetrate into the gaps between my fingers as I kneel on the floor.
I've performed the task many times before but it's easy to lose fragments amongst the dirt and debris.
I work carefully, every piece missing is a sliver lost in me.
Impossible to fix, but kindness and sunlight, and being alone for some time, it won't be the same design but it should work alright.
I'll still try.

Have a nice day
I stepped out last night,
I spent time with my so called "friends"
The night sky saw everything
The stars grew jealous of you
For they knew my thoughts of you
They will haunt you
Because I told them that I know you shine brighter than them
So many people hugged me
I found myself listening to their heartbeat
It wasn't yours
It just was not your own
As they held my hands
It stinged because it wasn't yours
I found myself wanting your touch
Your eyes gazing into mine
Your voice
Your Laughter
Your aura ...

Hello stranger
HELLO STRANGER
I would like to be honest,
We met in the strangest
Of circumstances,
Both in such intense emotions
Beyond ourselves.
One in a feeling of deep hurt,
Sorrow and no desire
To feel anything at all.
And the other in a deep fear
Of losing a person not met before,
A stranger really.
Stories shared but,
At this point zero trust
And unsure of what is,
And what is not.
But the feelings felt were actual,
In a real, pure honest way.
The other knew that ...

A cursed soul
It took me a while
But now I get it
This moment is as good as it gets
I’ve been untangling the threads to reach it
Not realizing I’m already here
And this is it
Time is a mind trap
Those who don’t get it will squander their entire life living in the past or future instead of now
Now is the only time one really has
This moment well be Able to provide you with all the calmness and peace which you need and keep expecting from the next moment
It’ll work out for the better future
I reassure my self
But I’m not sure that future...
But now I get it
This moment is as good as it gets
I’ve been untangling the threads to reach it
Not realizing I’m already here
And this is it
Time is a mind trap
Those who don’t get it will squander their entire life living in the past or future instead of now
Now is the only time one really has
This moment well be Able to provide you with all the calmness and peace which you need and keep expecting from the next moment
It’ll work out for the better future
I reassure my self
But I’m not sure that future...
