After the Sunset

For many sunsets I missed you when I was lonely & sad
For just as many sunrises I missed you when I was happy & glee
But it was a harsh reality that you are missing from me and that is just too bad 
It was time for a new beginning, to be free

For many moons, my thoughts returned to you 
Maybe it was silly to miss what we could never really have
Saudade or afeto, it mostly made me blue
Whatever, it was time to be brave

I was broken, lost, without any place to be
I chose hope, and believed everything was possible
I prayed to God to show me the right way so I could see
I accepted my faults and know I was responsible

Being strong was my only option
But I had to duck and dive and empower mind over matter
I took control of my situation
With patience and time, things got better

Loneliness sometimes visited still
Especially when my thoughts returned to you
Life was after all no fairytale and sometimes still uphill
What was up with you, I had absolutely no clue

I paid my dues, learned my lesson, love and lost
I grew, I had no idea how strong I could be
Drowned in writing, I did what I do best
And with lots of practise became a better version of me

Heaven is where you chose it to be
Every day can be a new beginning
Live and let live, that is the key
Leave the past, its not over till the final inning
One day it may make sense why it wasnt 'us for good' to be

Awakening

For the past thirty seven years, living for me was knowing that I do not know
I have been yearning for what I do not have a name for
The knowledge of the presence of this nameless, voiceless feeling, prompted me to the tenth month of 2015 AD
This feeling without a footprint or face haunted me
Unknowingly, it remained hidden for much too long
Life became the embracement of the nameless things I yearn for and was sure to never find
Hiding behind a mask, an unwilling traveler to more despair
Smothering my humanness, unable to acknowledge or recognize the smoldering spark deep inside
I was living life; neither dead, nor alive

Born without a name, my christening name inspired by the apartment I was conceived in
Something I was called upon when my mother was cross
Being nameless, I felt I didn’t belong in this world, had no right or purpose to be here
Mostly I hated myself, but wanted other people to love me
But somehow through all this turmoil, I found my voice
A voice separating me from a life I once thought was mine without questioning it
Inside, my heart was beating, inhaling and exhaling, but that was merely being alive, nothing more, nothing less
I was struggling to breathe, daily life slowly draining all inspiration from my being
My eyes became dull, my senses oblivious to the scents and smells of life around me

Then fate intervened and my life changed course
My fingers clawed at my mask, tugging in anticipation and excitement to remove it from my face
My soul shouting to escape, urging me on to find freedom
Unsure I took my first cautious steps towards an unclear perception of future
Driven by instinct, want, need and desire for the unknown, but hoping to recognize this faceless urge in the safety of a harbor
I treaded with more certainty, passion and need to find myself, to be freed from this chains that has kept me bound to heartache, hurt and sadness
An unquenchable feeling that I finally had enough strength and courage to remove this mask I have hidden behind my whole life
I was ready to explore who I was to be, to evolve into what the universe had lain on my newly found path
This adventure on my doorstep, ready to experience the wonderful lightness of being

Suddenly a new world dawned on me when my hand was enveloped by yours 
You allowed me to see sights seen by your eyes, heard sounds through your ears
My senses tantalized by invigorating smells, awakened through the coming together of our senses
You reached out to me with caring words, kindness I’ve been hungry to hear
An embrace to break down the walls of isolation, I created as protection
My loneliness caressed away by a soft touch 
A sincerity that raised me up from the shadows beneath 
Sensual lips smiling and lively blue eyes that brightened every dark and moldy corner of my mind
A kiss that could reach and elevate all nerve endings I buried 

All senses reawakened with enthusiasm and curiosity
Light entered my irises, sounds reached my ears, smells crinkled my nose, and flavors tantalized my taste buds
My feet treaded lightly as if soaring on clouds, unaware of the sea sand so soft between my toes
My skin glowed, oblivious to the cold refreshment of the sea causing goosebumps
Sea spray on my skin; the taste of salt on my lips; a fresh sea breeze in my hair
My eyes could only see you, only wanted you
Hearts beating fast, racing breaths, bodies aroused and wanting
I wanted to be had by you, and I wanted to have you
Nothing else mattered, but to be together for a while

A weekend once wanted merely for carnal desires, became the weekend to break and dissolve my chains
This maiden voyage, now the debut of my newly found freedom
A French kiss to eclipse all others
Moments of tenderness unfolding as I became weak to your touch
Fingers and lips exploring our bodies, the sweet taste of sea salt, champagne and passion
Your guidance gave me courage to explore 
Intimacy unparalleled to previous experiences
Naked bodies bearing all, our bodies entwined as you pushed into me
A discovery of ecstatic feelings of awakening sexuality

You opened a new world for me through your vision
You fulfilled my longing, brought my desires and dreams to life
Your experience, knowledge, expertize stimulated my mind
A willingness to share mind and body with me
Your being awakening and stirring my zest for life
Tickling my creativity, inspiring to explore beyond borders
Someone as extraordinary, made me feel deserving of love again
You brought hope, fulfillment and clarity
How can I ever repay, you came and gave me so much

Energy filled my body, creativity my mind
You believe in me, that who I was, really matters
A belief that we could indeed all be what we allow ourselves to possibly be 
Our moment in time together was but a fraction of a second in the completion of our life’s journey
Only a thought in the greater scheme, like a shooting star
You came, you fulfilled our desires and you went, as if all was but a wonderful dream
No judgement for my awakening feelings
It’s beyond my control, how could I possibly experience none
Allow me to wonder through the journey of my awakening senses

	The spill of my existence
	The rainbow in my sunrise	
        The happy in my day
	The acquiescence in my sunset
	You are the wind beneath my broom ?

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time
Far away on a magical island
She met an attractive stranger
His dark eyes mesmerized her 
His presence captivated her heart
His lips touched her soul
And sent her emotions into turmoil
He made her feel special, unique and sexy
He made her feel like she’s the only woman in the world for him
She longed for him when they weren’t together
She needed his touch when she couldn’t see him
She craved his lips, seeking out all the adventurous places 
 Wanted him caressing the voluptuous parts of her body
She missed him when they couldn’t speak
Then, it became quiet, no words exchanged, no glances of excitement
In perspective she knew it was surreal
She wanted him to whisk her away from adult responsibility
From routine, from daily chores, from dissolving into humanity
She wanted him to save her, to rescue her from boredom, to give her soul flight
To be the light in her life, be it from a distance shining so clear, so bright
But, she missed him, above all. She missed his sexiness, his jokes and his friendly, unresistable voice
She missed him, for who she could be with him
Freedom, he understood, words didn’t need to be explained
She longed for that spark to return, that zest which she knew was still hidden in her spirit
And he illuminated her being. But now it was dark. A dull sunset after a rainbow, glorious sunrise.
Once, oh so once upon a time, they dreamed together, they carried each other’s burden
They shared something needed and longed for by both
They enjoyed each other’s company and felt special for a bit
They made life easier, lighter, fun and adventurous together
Once, maybe, once more it can be experienced on this earth, in this life…..

Flight

For once let me just be
High in the sky
With the air beneath my wings
Allow me to experience and see
All the beauty the world has to offer
Take me higher than ever before

Be the wind below me
My saving grace
I long to stretch my wings
Fly away with me and be free
High up above in clear blue skies
Spreading my feathers in a cool sea breeze

I shan’t fear, because you are with me
I’ll dash above turquoise and white breaking waves
Over fields of marigolds, daisies and Bokbaaivygies
I’ll put my arms around you, hold so tight to thee
We’ll see far into new horizons
Round Robin we’ll fly in between clouds

We’ll be happy and glee
In a world without any sadness and tears
Without any reservations or fears
Come away with me
Let us reach for the stars
And search for the rainbow

Let’s fly away and flee
To a beautiful, idyllic world
A paradise only we know about
Just you and me
We can get lost in time
Take flight, let’s hold on tight

But I want to be the one you’ll always remember tonight
Tomorrow…I will probably be nothing
Tonight…allow me to be everything

Butterfly

Butterflies
Rays of sunlight on a crochet of colors, contrast and shapes.
Feet slowly walking; heart beating fast with excitement
Where will he be?
Eyes searching, ears listening, hands reaching, fingers clenching.

There he is.
Beautiful. Gracious. Delicate. Soft, unimaginable patterns and divine colors.
So unique, no two ever the same.
Some are caught, can be hold and admired.
Soft to the touch, an immaculate creature.
Some to stay out of reach; these are the ones we tend to visualize in our dreams.
	
Dream to live, to hope. 
Believe it is yours to cherish.
Its beauty leaves one speechless.
Blessed with its presence, know, even as you are allowed to admire, it is not to be kept.
It is to be treated tenderly and set free.

Reminiscent of beauty and perfection.
So small and delicate; yet an impression unforgettable and unrepeatable.
Beautiful creature scintillating.
Forever, you’ll be remembered.

Lie To Live

You ask for the truth
How can I tell when I can’t differentiate between the truth and lies 
I’ve created a world in which I somehow can find tolerance to live in
For myself, a simple way to be able to breathe
The rest I keep bottled up inside

I speak my heart; but you don’t hear my words anymore
I tell the truth; you don’t seem to care
Living a farce seems to be the only way to survive
For such a long time I longed, I hoped
Until there was no hope left, only lies

I kept telling; you didn’t’ register anymore
I struggled to breathe; choking in lies
Slowly falling apart; bit by bit
Until nothing was left 
I couldn’t recognize myself anymore 

Couldn’t see the truth in living
No use in pretending anymore
This wall I built around me, became my salvation
It’s become my saving grace; lie to live
The only way I knew how to survive this

After all that’s been said and done in the past now
I turn my collar to the wind; trying to forgive, to forget
Turning to face an uncertain future
I’m so afraid, fear choking me
All I ask is to release me, to set me free

Wanting to break free, needing to regain myself
Longing to breathe without barriers
Begging for mercy, for some understanding
I see the hurt and anger in your eyes
Tears roll down my cheeks too, I’m not unscaved 

As I walk away, it’s the last time I’ll apologize
You saw my demons, you knew my weakness
But it was all too much, you chose to walk away
All is left is emptiness around my heart
Hurt, loneliness, sadness and pain

I don’t want to live in any shadow anymore
No more lies, only truth
No more tears, only joy
No more anger, only peace
No more lying to live
For the last time I’m breaking this chain

A lightness surrounding my being
Somehow I don’t care anymore
Freedom of my past, freedom of my demons, sadness and anger
You’ll never hurt me again
Finally I’m free to live my live
Living for the truth, only the truth from now on

She Cries

She’s crying for all the mistakes she’s made
Pain streaming from her heart
Hurt breaking her down bit by bit
Tears roll down her face

She cries for all the hurt she’s caused
Loneliness now her only friend
Anguish for the past and for the future that won’t be
Drops of sadness wetting her cheeks

She cries for being alone
Unable to carry the burden alone
She falls to her knees
Crying out to God for help

She’s hurting more than words can tell
Unable to utter it to anyone
For none will comprehend
Water streaming across her face

Surrendering to shame
Pain breaking her down
Unbearable misery tearing her apart
No more tears left to shed

She cries
She hurts
She longs
She’s alone

Succumbing to anguish
Bowing her head
No light breaking through the darkness
She cries

She’s crying out for help
Begging, pleading for you
To save her, to set her free
Tears welling up in her brown eyes

She’s reaching out to you
Don’t turn her away too like everyone else
Don’t act like you don’t care as you said you did
No lies, no tears, no cries

She’s begging for mercy
Don’t leave her alone in despair
Don’t turn your back to her pleas
Dry her tears with your love and care

She’s crying,
Her hands holding out to you
Take her hand, walk with her
Keep her safe from hurt and sadness

Through your eyes, her hurt can end
With your love, she can heal
Don’t shut your ears to her voice
Embrace her, keep her safe from harm

By loving her, she can recover
With your want, she can bloom again
Your touch can heal her wounds
Your sweet lips can dry her tears

Sometimes

Sometimes words fail me
I am not perfect and have feet of clay
But past all this I hope you have come to see
That I care deeply and for us, I pray

Sometimes I don’t know how to express my emotions
It all rolls from my tongue in a clutter of confusion
Often I flee to set my burdens free at the feet of the oceans
Trying to find and fit the puzzle pieces of my confused thoughts as a final conclusion

Failing don’t sit easy with me
Sometimes I have to be strong, no matter how hard or steep the hill
Mostly I ignore and steer away and pray to Thee
Tomorrow I know the sun will rise and bring goodwill

When that day arrive
My wish is for us to have withered the storms
That together we can be a union and thrive
Side by side we can build and create our own platforms

These past weeks we had our ups and downs
It has brought laughter and sadness, joy and pain
I hope you recognize that our relationship to me is not silly playgrounds
Hopefully we have grown, get to know each other and that all was not in vain

Sometimes I wish for things to change oh so soon
Sometimes I close my eyes and wish all our worries would disappear
Mostly our times have not been one happy honeymoon
Somehow I do feel we have come closer, I hope you hear
