~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My heart screams silently in pain,
Dry tears still drown my fragile soul,
My grief is small yet vast as rain,
My cheeks stay parched though hot tears roll.

My throat cries out in voiceless will,
I’m crushed by love too dark to care,
Your gentle hand was made to kill—
You broke

Trapped in a Bubble

Hare trapped in a bubble,
Too pained by the capture;
Yet chews its last supper.
Even joy precedes pains—
    stop your stare,
    dare to help.
    Though I err,
    spare some love,
    wipe my tear.

The Winter

Ice slowly melts to the new spring
a bride and groom and a new ring
frozen in their best lives
just before an avalanche
The grips of roses and hands
frozen are timely of sands
flaws like a wall of patches
And a cinema of a screening
Into glares of timely oblivion
A horror film of careless stitches
tiny eyes can't see our sins
its the

blackest wings scale higher than mountains

 Blackest wings, scale higher than mountains
in the chill of tonight's air,
scarred and bleeding from within,
determined to reach her lover's side,
A voice calls out to her voyage
but her vision gets lost
as it starts to drizzle and rain.

She collides & in such pain,
her claws trying to embed in the side
of the rocks but she keeps skidding

My Eye, the Grave of Words

To keep my words from falling apart,
I need the blood that leaves my heart.

I chose to stay and face the pain,
so it won’t feel so strange again.

I wrote the will to still remain,
to give my empty words a name.

I gave my body, left it bare—
was that enough to make them care?

I closed my throat, I

Is He Man Enough?

If she was the one who unbuttoned her blouse first, who closed the door, who whispered “Come on, don’t be shy,” and still—he said no. If she was the one who laid herself bare, threw herself at him like a dare in a quiet room—was he man enough to say he didn’t want it? To

Heart Stopping Showstopper

He's a flirt with his anxieties,
Collecting tauted nerves.
She's a pen who haunts his remedies,
And with these words she serves.

He'll romanticize the painful,
And unto pleasure, gain.
Where a page was turned to tar,
With her baneful, poisoned stain.

All that glitters looks amiss,
While they write together sin.
Whereby lovers part by kiss,
Muses part by apitoxin.

Cruel Fate

HE~

He has met her before

He knows that

Maybe once or twice 

Yet, where and when he is just not sure


SHE~

He is in good spirits today

I think he remembers me

Yet , yesterday he asked my me name

Shouted at me to go away


TOGETHER~

Fifty-three years wed

A loving , happy marriage 

Kindred spirits, best friends

Now , strangers navigating the unknown

A Tear

A single tear is all I can give,
For my body is drained of that pleasure.
I’m too weak to remember the years I lived,
Or the days too heavy to measure.

So where does that leave me falling?
What is it that could cure me?
A single walk would tell me nothing -
But at least for a moment I’d be

Climbing down

I've carried time like a coffin — an eternity.
Feels heavier than dark gravity
Devotion that cruel peculiarity;
in me, it shattered — clarity 
now it's just deathly polarity.
Structured, then... infirmity
Silence bloated with verbosity!
Thank you expendability
to reach low generality;
close my chest cavity
With immensurability,
blessed by fate's absurd 
decree I kiss the 
edge of certainty.
My unthinkability —
death offers no pity,
It's

You broke me

Every day
I get up and question my life
The things you did to me and my body
And now I feel unworthy. 
I feel it’s hard for others to love me
Even harder for me to love myself
I give up, it’s true
I hope out there
Somewhere 
You feel the pain that I do. 

I can’t even look at my

Dear One

Dragging my pen along the walls of the well,
The ink of meaningful words runs dry,
Blind to who you've become, and serving only to dampen empty sockets,
The misty drops of moments lost become the meaningless tears I cry,
And the blink of the eyeless is, likewise, frivolous nictation,
For it was yesterday upon them your image permanently seared,
And

Life with hemophilia

You say you love me now
But wait until I can't get sleep,
cause my elbow is in pain
And all I can do is sit and brave it out

Wait until I need that quick drive to the hospital
When I'm in pain I barely speak 
And my face turns into the despair I keep inward
When all I care

But It's All I Have

A day, once, when you were just a name.
A name, once, and then it all changed.
Changed, once, and never again.
God, please— never again.
I don't want to look back one day
And think on these memories
And realize that the pain has numbed

Yes it hurts
Yes— yes, it hurts
And I don't want it to stop
I don't want you to

Carrier

CARRIER

In a world where the woman already goes through a lot
I can't imagine what it's like for all carriers
Especially when they don't know that they are
And only get to know after they welcome a child into this world

Cause it marks a moment of learning
Learning to be a mum,
and also to take care of the child
