Happy Birthday, Love
Oh God! Said God, this is going to be a task! I’ll have to outdo what I’ve done in the past. He rolled up his sleeves and thought for hours, Voilà! He cried, I’ve figured it at last!

Decrypting Him
Passions of the night vaporize as my eyes begin To adjust to the sight of an empty bed you left behind. You’re gone and I’m lonely. Lost in my quandary. You say that you adore me But I can’t feel the love In the harsh morning light. (And I pray you riddle me this.) Why have… Continue reading Decrypting Him

Sobbing skies I’ve got the blues tonight So much love lost I wonder why? I hear leaves scream To flee their faithful trees As accomplice winds Sow seeds of mutiny. And I see waves rise To frightening heights Washing steadfast shores Without respite. Even the stars betray Come daybreak They slyly escape Leaving the moon… Continue reading Sobbing Skies
Emotional Lockdown
I am caught in a rut and I am losing all sense of direction As my emotions drive me in circles on an endless loop. I try not to think, I try not to over-analyse But I am a slave to my thoughts and can slaves ever win? Unbridled, these feelings run wild and I… Continue reading Emotional Lockdown

Shattered souls so lost in their pain, they forget you too could be hurting. Broken shards can never sympathize with the hand that bleeds to put them back together.
