crystalise
Woke to windows fogged from the contrast of warm air in my room and the cold air that blew outside. Negative six degrees today, there will be snow, I see gusts of white wind play hide and seek over building tops and tall trees, leafless branches swaying back and forth in praise to an unseen God.
Woke up with emotions mixing in my heart trying to find the right combination, Stuck between I miss home and I’m glad I am here, seventeen flight hours away in a foreign cold land., With no shoulders to cry on or a voice to say it’s okay to feel out of place.

missing you?
Went to bed thinking about you,
we met in my dreams.
I woke up missing you,
a bit more than I did yesterday.
It’s a vicious cycle.
Walking about with a grey cloud over my head
that no one seems to see as it
soaks me with rain drops and
hides my tears.
I guess what im trying to say is I miss you.
Like bare trees in winter, the birds of paradise in my heart have withered.
Colour drained and stems too weak, but its only been two weeks.
Two weeks since my eyes locked with yours..
Held them forever in an embrace and smiled
Whispering...

master piece
Steady wins the race.
Stealthily hearts are stolen.
Silently souls are lost.
Shamelessly hearts are broken.
What I’m trying to say is once upon a time I gave him a higher position than God in my life,
yes, I’m ashamed and yes I admit it,
because that’s the only way to get past it
and move on. So I’m taking the first step to a new life
with no marionettes in play.
I’m going to cut strings and dream big.
I’m going to smile and stand tall,
even though sometimes I feel small.
I know its life and it shan’t be perfect
but it’s a chance I...

sailing
you boarded your ship
and sailed away a long time ago.
i just got my anchor back on board
not sure about which direction to go.
A small chant began within my soul today.
feeling like there is hope...
going to break down my walls
and rise from my fall,
because sometimes i'm the only one
who can save myself from me
and sailed away a long time ago.
i just got my anchor back on board
not sure about which direction to go.

and rise from my fall,

tonight
walking through thick mist
another day, another memory.
walking into my room, with
heavy boots and a big jacket
feeling their weight burden me down.
memories leaving me feeling under the weather.
the skies of my soul filled with dark clouds
that threaten to flood the house i made a home.
I'm gonna close the windows
shut the door, lock and bolt.
keep the cold out
i'm gonna strip off all these layers
and with each item
i promise to miss you less
i promise to think of you less
i promise to love me a little more
than i ever loved...

She cut herself again.
She cut herself again.
The question is always the same, why?
She looks at me then looks away
And silently says ask me another day.
I try to grasp the concept
Try so hard to accept
I ask her not to it again
She looks at me and smiles
She says “i wont”
But her eyes tell a different story
The question is always the same, why?
She looks at me then looks away
And silently says ask me another day.
I try to grasp the concept
Try so hard to accept
I ask her not to it again
She looks at me and smiles
She says “i wont”
But her eyes tell a different story

do we build?
Do we build?
We have gotten to that place, that place no one ever wants to go to… yet they blink and find themselves there. It happened; we have gotten to that place. Kinda like a breaking point. I know how we got here but then again I am not quite sure about the details. It started out as cracks in the windows and walls. The roof began to leak, when my heart broke and fell the ground shook, then the walls crumbled and all that was left was the foundation…Do we build?
What about the skeletons hidden in my closet? The ones I would shove under my bed every time you came over. What about...

displacement
he said, sometimes we displace our destinies by wrong acquaintance and association
i said, i built a wall around myself to protect myself while you hide behind a mask of indifference
but in the end, we both have to face it and deal with it,.
i remember how our paths were crossed
like the branches on a vine.. like the lines on our hands
how we belonged together, just as much as our hands did
when intertwined together, held firmly to fill in gaps,
to hold hearts in traps..caged in love
i did not want to escape, i loved being loved
he said, do you think that...

without you
Blow me one last kiss before you go
Before i forget what i have to do...
and where i have to go
without you there to hold my hand.
all good things end..
no one ever said it would end so ... quickly
our meeting has come to an end. briefly
i remember how our paths were once crossed
like the branches on a vine..
like the lines on our hands
how we belonged together, just as much as our hands did
when intertwined together,
held firmly to fill in gaps,
to hold hearts in traps..caged within us
where love was planted and grew.
many of us,...

We Part To Meet And Meet To Part II
when she got there..They were sitting in a circle outside. Laughing. Sipping red liquid. Reminisce on old times.. Scarlet envied them, even from afar, they sat with no care in the world. But she had many problems. Even her presence there was one,, but in the end, one just takes the curve balls as they come .
There is music. I feel like dancing but i don't.the welcome is warm and instantly followed by a recap of a night i had shared with them. Unforgettable. Priceless memories :-)

Black Rings
Lets chase our dreams tonight' he said, smiling. We sat with our legs crossed, opposite each other. My heart began to pound a tune similar to that of a virgin bride. He held up his hands, i raised mine too. The closer our palms got, the more it burnt. The more i felt i was about to be thrown of the edge.the rings had already began to form, pink at first. Then red, when my palms touched his they turned black. The instant we touch it is like magic. We reach our climax and it feels heavenly. I throw my head back and see the flashing lights. I see the planets we passed to get here. I see his dark...
