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

Painted black and blue

You stripped me from my innocence.

painted me black and blue you'd tell me that you loved me but honestly it wasn't true.

You told me I was beautiful and that no one else compared.

Expect for the entire naiborhood who would have stopped and stared.

 you told me not to tell anyone and even if I dared

Petals Of Pain

Petals Of Pain
For the rose who once stood tall, bright colourful with petals in her prime.
The attachment of the thorn that settled itself upon her, its true ugliness to be revealed through time.
Lately shes been reminded of why you don’t come near her anymore, your feeling of disgust.
Yet shes expected to wear a mask for

Time is of the essence

“Time is of the essence”, we go through our lives believing it’s on our side, that everything that happens is part of our fate.
We waste so much time saying “il do it tomorrow”, until tomorrow becomes days, weeks, months, years and then it’s too late.
We spend too much of our time judging others mistakes in

I Love You

She opened her heart
like all lovers do,
he was her world.

She gave him her all,
he took it all in,
told her "I love you."

He said “I love you”,
after her busted lip,
from falling in the shower.

He said “I love you”,
after her head hit the table,
from tripping on a loose rug.

He said “I love you”,
after a broken arm,
from falling

Crown of Shame

Our once “everlasting love”
Has come to its end
There’s no more need 
To deny or pretend 
It’s difficult and painful 
For me to admit 
You weren’t fully in the
Relationship and couldn’t commit 
The games you played were a 
Convincing disguise
Your well executed performance 
Deserves a Nobel prize 
You toyed with my emotions 
As if you found

Is This What Love Is

Those soft tendrils of skin grazing my being
Taking in my form whole
Accepting me as I was
Using me as I was

When did love turn to deceit and lies
When did my body turn into a medium of use
I'm nothing but my body, my parts, my abilities
That's all you ever wanted from me, wasn't it?

You felt me, but

Surely

Surely I‘ll break 
after you pointed out all my mistakes
I know I may not be the most outgoing 
But if that’s the reason you‘ve been throwing 
one hundred thousand fights
til im burning,bleeding and bursting into tears
I‘ll change for your benefit , I‘ll do a 360 degree turn to fit your imagination
Get inside and we‘ll have

Agape Love, Loss, But Just a Blip On Eternity, Says Joe

Thanks to Father DeMino fir reminding me the world cannot bite off all our Jesus-kinda-Love. So here goes-

"If you love sacrificially, you won't expect thanks and only lose a blip of Eternity." Deo

Joe DeMino did add, "ouch for that blip" that got gobbled up mercilessly

Body Is Object

My body is an object, use it as you please
Like a little girl’s dolly, my hair you tug and tease

My body is an object, from my head to my toe
Skin like cattle is branded, your fingerprints echo

My body is an object, don’t you stop now
Adorned with your lips, my body is your vow

My body is

Run From Love

I’m lost in  the memories of love and misery’s taunts

I cry within daily but my reflection in the mirror I can not see

My eyes swollen from holding back the tears
I can not see the pain I have 

I’m blinded by the love 

Why do children grow up in pain 

Lost and silent
they seek love

To only

The Fate of Ourselves

Forget what they make
About sanitized love and delivery
Love is a war, abuse steps through
When strands get caught
Out on a limb
Your suggest new desire
And run back
To an addicted, abusive boyfriend
Youve coddled in his flaccid anger

When the broken daughter
Runs home, what does she find
Death of old things and control
Cold nights twisted around thumbs
I know you step without
