Love, version 1: reflections on personal experiences of love, inspired by reading bell hooks

Wounded by its lack
Distrustful of it 
Inured to its absence 
In thrall to its allure
Fooled by its simulacrum
Estranged from it 
Paralysed by fear of losing it
Inexorably exposed to it 
Resolved against it 
Consumed by longing for it
A scholar to its foreign texts 
A slave to its compulsions 
Compelled to search for it
Forever 
Hopeful

Justice Is Colour Blind

A blot they want to wash, detergents do not work
Ineffectual, institutional and cover ups a stir
Excuses abound, squirming hierarchy found 
"Its just a darkie, why so narky"
The corridors would sound
It still goes on, gone several years 
Distrustful patronising leaders
A scurge we hope that does not surge 
To Nazi ways and olden days
Where races they would purge

Untitled

A silent cry, one that  sheds no tears
A darkened night, alone with all my fears
A disgraceful heart, drowning in pain
Distrustful mind, remains the same

A taste of love, A kiss so sweet
A soul of passion, Undying heat
A wound so wide
A bruise so deep
A cut so pure
Unfaithful deceit

An unselfish gift of love
Love that has no limits
A feeling of betrayal
And a life full of commitments.

The Anguish of Grief

I destroyed the love of my life, I lied white lies because I knew we both came from 

two different world's but I soon became distrustful with my lies and denied real love infront of my eye's.

I lied when I said don't touch me, I lied when I called you ugly; ( i apologise )

If I could turn back the hand's of time, we both would have never lied and you would forever be mine.

Evanescence

Dear Soap Bubble,

bright focus
in an air-light reflection
of the ephemeral beauty
of this world

diaphanous soul 
in despair

sincere
fearful
innocent
hesitating
uncertain
distrustful
pure

Emotional universum
rumbling inside the anima
of a tiny simple
passionate creature

I shall enjoy thy sight

Shall I live in fear
for you not to burst

Shall I be the wind
to blow tenderly
directing thy path

Thy shelter shall I be
I surrender myself to thee
