Damaged Love
[Stanza 1]
Suddenly, the clouds above become gray,
Like a sudden sharp knife, the words you say.
My heart used to beat so strong, pure, and true,
Now lies destroyed under the sky so blue;
[Stanza 2]
My spirit just bleeds from a wound so deep,
This silent loss makes my soul read and weep;
I look for hints of reason I can...

Storm clouds
I wonder if I search for storm clouds in peoples eyes or if I put them there.
Shocked when the rain starts and the thunder roars.
Lightning flashes.
I wonder if the rain stops.
I wonder at rain drops.
Falling, stalling, halting.
I wonder at anger.
Where it comes from and when it will pass.
The smell of...

Electric Summer MistIn summer's heat, where vibrant blossoms sway,
A storm awakens, darkened clouds align,
The thunder whispers secrets of the day,
While lightning's flash reveals the past's design.
Beneath the tempest's wrath, my heart takes flight,
To memories concealed in shadow's veil,
Each droplet falls, a tear of lost delight,...

THE OTHERSIDEThere's always the otherside
of something so beautiful
Dunno why it finds me
Crashing like a storm
Drencing me with sorrow
Slamming me back to the place
I hardly belong
Pull me out
Bring me peace
It's too much chaos here
I cannot breathe...

The strength we embodyThey told us our skin meant exile
That our joy would be put on trial
Because it brings rain
But how can they hate the rain when it nourishes the ground we walk on
The same ground that grows the food we need to survive
They want us to cower in the face of their Whiteness
To bow down to their...

My Friend Is the Ocean
My friend is the ocean, waters that glide,
Rustling my footsteps and tousling my hair;
Many the times that we walked side by side,
A spark and forever, joined as a pair.
Always a cloud there lay over its play,
Dappled the sunlight that fell on my face;
Heaving, its waters had something to say;
Twilight with meteors it took for the...

The Storm Water Pipe
The storm water pipe
gaped into open air
from an embankment
where it surfaced
from underground.
The opening was a little
smaller than my childhood height
and they said it stretched
a mile or more but nobody
knew for sure.
A danger sign warned
against entry saying
the pipe was subject to sudden
flooding - a protective grate
had a hole big enough
to crawl through.
I would...

The sound of breaking
The sound of breaking is late.
Thunder shatters gray clouds after
lightning strikes the damp soil.
When pieces of sky pierce flesh,
the scream is slow to rise—
The sound of breaking follows pain’s echo.
The sound of breaking is gentle.
Raindrops tiptoe on my eyelids—
each sting a secret pressed down.
Earth's unbridled tears fall for my...

Not Her Fault"It was your dress," they replied
Was it? The ripped fabric cried
The 5-year-old's laughter silenced that day
Couldn't even scream, "I'm just a child," and ran away
"It was your shorts," they claimed
Was it? The torn seams proclaimed
The 10-year-old's dreams shattered, flamed
Couldn't even cry, "I'm just a girl," with shame
"It was your clothes," they blamed
Was it? The cloth...

Why The Grey Sky GrewWhy the grey sky grew
Could it be because of you?
Or because my heart's feeling blue
The sun only shines when I'm with you
When we're far apart
The world grows dark
It thunders and rains
Blowing wind that chills my veins
Occasionally striking the garden we grew
A garden of love built by me and you
The anger of fire will destroy the...

Lacking an AnchorA drift in a sea of longing,
rudderless and without direction.
Trying to stay afloat
amidst the relentless winds and currents
whipping the crests into a frenzy.
At the mercy of the nautical tempest,
in a fruitless battle to maintain control,
I’m losing sight of the sheltered harbor
that was my refuge from this upheaval
brought on by the forced solitude
when you left...

The Silent StormA silent storm is brewing within my chest
A benumbing chill sets my soul aflame
A warm welcome sets alarm bell ringing,
In the realm of hush at the dawn of dusk
do you hear the swooshing
of the waves on the sandy shore?
Do you hear the shush...
