The ocean may
be the drop behind her white noise
The ocean may
move Ariel's heartthrobs away,
as breaking waves chance with her voice —
to work down tears in salty poise,
The ocean may

I held on tight, tried to keep it all,
Gave my heart and soul, answered every call.
Longed for love, acceptance, a gentle hand,
But found betrayal, where I'd hoped to stand.
I poured my love, like a precious wine,
Reserved for me, after years of brine.
But they drank it dry, left no drop behind,
And now I search for love, of a different kind.
I questioned not, my faith never waned,
In God's embrace, my strength remained.
I'll fight for life, with every breath I take,
For my survival is not theirs to break.
I need no more, their hollow affection,
My heart seeks truth, in a new direction.
I'll find myself, amidst the broken shards,
And walk in love, guided by the stars.
Eyes wide open, I'll embrace the pain,
And rise above, like a cleansing rain.
For I am worthy, of love's tender grace,
And I'll find it within, in my sacred space.
No longer seeking, in others' gaze,
I'll love myself, through all my days.
So let me journey, on this path unknown,
To find my strength, and come home to my own.

Dry spell
On a summer day
the wind become standstill,
my memories enmesh
in the heap of dry leaves,
faces close enough
to feel the warmth,
silence fall back-
the tiny bird disappears.
the hand reaches out
after a brief pause,
the soft touches never
travel along the trodden track,
blazing tall trees
wisely leaving
the rain drop behind,
to taunt the tearful eyes.

The hunter moon suspend low tonight
across welcoming dark skies
hiding stars that glimmer
virtually every night
A colossal reddish globe
slowly drop behind tall trees
vanishing as I try to arrest its majesty
in a forever-photogenic image
