It was in the sorrow
That I learned to empathize and care
It was in the darkness
That my heart spoke the best prayers
It was in the silence
That my voice sounded tender
It was in the fear
That I found the courage, the strength

It was in the yearning
That I learned...

The Interlude of Aphradere: the Waves of the Sea
Recovery from within takes longer than expected I noticed from the start
I'm growing weary of going through trials of endless letdowns in heart
Underneath the dust and dirt of past irrational phases,
The truth will give you freedom beyond words and phrases
My mere intentions are not to...

The 996th Poem
Fulfilled fantasies and legitimate realities…you do know how to please…
Are you listening to my voice of longing and yearning?
No, don’t backstab me with your broken promises…stop being a horrid tease…
Do not worry, Lord, I am still constantly…learning…

God is here…

I’m scared, so unprepared… my flames are...

Before Nine
I've lived for eight years, before I turn nine,
Is there a chance that I'll ever get mine?
Will I see another crony of mine getting smoked?
Will I be told parables from all the grown folks?
Should I be countin' on life's major letdowns
Will I still be seeing...

Premium Member In a Heartbeat
My heart thumped away, trembling
In the sigh of an autumn grace
Reflecting the moments, when love
Painted my doubts in sapphire laughter
Silencing each hesitation with joy
Poured out on the spirit who knows
She’s finally found her other half –
	Something better than she can describe

My heart, beating recklessly withing...

Terra Incognita

Diurnal moments margin in my head,
As metamorphosis pirouettes hands,
Nightmarish recall exit none be said,
An armistice mosey in of spilt sands.

Logjam beliefs wane gains, prosperity,
Erring hand fingered an island nation,
Right foresees windfall, voters clarity,
Left wins Red China, lost the...

The Prisoner of Heartbreak and Depression
If one seemed on being happy and smiling
Knowing a tragedy has struck in life
Then, the one is living on a huge lie
Because the heart is stabbed by one's betrayal

A selfish traitor in the dark midst
Became the worst enemy in life
May look like an innocent to...

Courage To Feel
A mindset of pride,
Advances courage,
Forming a wall,
Blocking emotions like a lineman of love,
Many attempt to penetrate,
But I,
Am an addict,
Addicted to denial and letdowns,
So I run in fear,
Scramble,
Praying she is fake,
Or he is a dog,
An excuse,
Because I don’t know if,
I can handle an honest man,
Or a...

Premium Member The Rookie
He began his career playing T-ball along about the age of eight,
Never dreaming that becoming a professional was to be his fate!
Right off the bat (so to speak!) he was a natural at the game.
With hard work and support he was bound to gain some...

I Finally Understand Why You Can'T Go Home Again
The sun never shines here in south town
It’s only covered up
by a dust of regrets and letdowns
that i can never come clean of

the shadows dance in the alleyways
the darkness plays in the sun
the children all searching to find a way
for these shades of gray to...

Petals
A handful of petals
Scattered through the air
Sent with a smile
Watched with a prayer
Each took a seperate path
Gathering it's own triumphs and trials
Many wilted,many died
Leaving dead a part of life not to be
Friendship so like the petals
So many start, so many there
So many letdowns, so many...

I'M Tired ...
I'm tired ... 


I'm tired ...



The highs and lows
The wishing and the letdowns
The hope and the despair
I'm tired ... 


My mind won't settle
In a hurry to think the worst
And yet to believe ...
I'm tired ...


My stomach never at ease
Quivers and crumbles and turns
And yet butterflies...

True Friend
I`ve had series of letdowns but not you,
Many were dishonest without regrets,
Your benevolence affixed like a glue.

Your words remove pests like beaks of egrets
on cattle; as they soothe the dying heart,
Many were dishonest without regrets.

You convey comfort through a pleasant cart,
While some conspire,your love spreads...

Life
An adventure taken by many, 
One, some may see fulfilling, while others may see dimly.
An experience that should never be taken advantage of,
Its simply a journey full of love.

Just like any other, life has its ups and downs, 
It has its spirit lifting moments as...
