...

He bowed and said a fealty
But don't they all?
Uttering what can only be said and burdensome to do
In tears, swearing by oaths, begging for you to believe it is true
Forgive me for I am not easily influenced
I question and seek for performance
I am not taken up by a passing frenzy and that has helped me survive
Forgive me for I am not easily influenced.
For that I proudly stand
I am not shaken by pretense or a warm kiss from end to end
Before me your actions deceive you
Your words to my ears are like an irritating gong
Allow me to thoroughly examine you and give my final verdict 
For I have heard those words before and I have foreseen results 
A broken heart & mind I place on a golden platter ; see the scars I shamelessly place in sight
Hear the cries that fell on deaf ears but for its own to hearken 
Oh no I am not asking for your pity or attention
That will not sew what is torn and mend what's broken
Don't get too close, least you lose your finger 
I am like a rose, inviting but prickly to the touch but before you throw stones, try to walk in these shoes
Don't lose yourself in depths of my abyss for my winds will blow off the candle light 
Forgive me for I am not easily swift from the ground.

stardust

There's something that I mean to do

Write you stardust 

Speak you into forever

Rock your soul as it rest in my bosom

There is something I mean to do

Carve your name in my eyes so everyone knows who possess my soul

Whisper into my own ears and plead for mercy

Shun the evil my untamed demons dare to do

Let images of you stay unfiltered

For in my heart & dreams you are reality

In my fertile ground you still grow yet time has passed and declares you decay

How memories died not with your breath

Yet these still remain; dullness, your vogue & emptiness

"Stay" my roots pinned you in but fate plucked you out like filthy water in a sink.

soulmate

My heart beats with this new rhythm
Your name is the song
My inner being dances with excitement for it has found its mate
In me you have opened the sacred gate
Like a bellowing bull I scream silently with content
Blessed is my name
Favored I am called
Daily I blues
I have eaten of the vanity fruit so I am the talk of those who lost tune
I sing hymns and mutter in my dreams
I have drank from your forever cup
Let me not be drunk in vain
Let me not be called foolish forever,
I trust you will fight on my behalf to unfold this very truth, that true love exists in the blossom of hate and fake lives...
I am falling in love with you with each day
Every moment
I wish I met you first, my world would have been complete then
Yet I rejoice for time has prepared me for you
 Although we're countries apart, and rivers separate our paths but nothing limits my affection for you
Nor shall there be any boundaries
We are set apart, we are meant to be.
When I lay awake at night, and starts gather, memories of us abound
Of what the future will be, let me not hold back my faith for I am all in without a doubt
When I wake up each morning , I choose you all over again.
I love you

Stand still

If you stand very still in the heart of a wood

You  will hear many wonderful things

The snap of a twig and the wind in the trees

And the whir of invisible wings.

If you stand very still in the turmoil of life

And you wait for the voice from within

You'll be led down the quiet ways of wisdom and peace

In a mad world of chaos and din.

If you stand very still and you hold to your faith

You will get all the help that you ask

You will draw from the silence the things that you need

Hope and courage and strength for your task.
