Love

Love , love , love .. 
Why do we love love so much ? 
Why do we love love so much ,
That we give up all that we love just to loved
Why do we love love when love does not love us back 
Love love us back 
Love , love and love 
Love even when love makes it unhealthy to live 
But still we love love 
It is never love but lust 
Is it?
We seek love 
We find love 
We let love kill us 
But why won't love love us back 
When we love love so much 
We live for love 
But love takes not any notice of us
Can it be because we love love  too much ?
That love won't love us back 
No matter how much we love love
Love will never love us back
Love loves love not
Love , love and love 
Love please love love 
...

Dear Lover

Maybe our love would've been better 
If the circumstances were better 
If the time was better 
If we communicated better 
If the world did not matter 
If our pasts did not matter 
Had the walls of our love 
The walls of our trust 
Did not shatter 
And our love .. 
Our love was our only shelter 
Our love ooh our love dear lover would've been greater 
Greater than our fears 
Our fears to love 
Our fears to be loved 
Our fears to trust 
To give in to love 
To give in to a feeling so great 
A feeling so true 
A feeling so real
Oh but lover 
A feeling some pray to feel 
Pray to feel from a person 
Pray to feel in their hearts 
Maybe oh maybe love 
Maybe if we had given us a chance 
Another chance 
Like we gave us a chance 
At first glance 
Smiles after smiles , in a sequence 
Undying love that made my heart dance 
For this love I had no defence 
I fell , we fell , into it 
And nobody could catch us , no!
We were falling so fast 
We had no choice but to hold each others hands as we fell 
We fell every hour , every minute , every second of everyday 
Until , eventually ... 
Our love ? 
Broken into pieces
Pieces that could not be mended
Ended!
But love , could we not fight?
Or we were just without the strength 
..... from falling

Winter Waters

Let’s take two steps forth in time...
My prayer is going to be ended by tears 
My wishes flooded by salty water 
Everyday I’m at war, fighting tears.
I used to know how to cry silently..
But now my cry is as loud as I imagine yours calling out to me..
At a war where I don’t only fight back tears..
But also beat down myself to my very lowest 
Nothing hurts me more than the thought of even hurting you 
I’m sorry... 
Have I ever loved someone so much ?

Words

There is this thing that happens when I write 
The words 
The lines 
Which become eventually stanzas 
Oh beautiful stanzas
Ink that gives life
Life to my thoughts 
Thoughts I can never show 
Thoughts the never show 
Thoughts that are never seen 
I see beauty in writing 
It elevates my lips 
Gives me smiles
Writing with no restrictions
Man I love me some poetic license 
Its like a little world made , made just for me 
Without rules ,
Without critics ,
Without heartbreaks ,
Without disappointments, 
Just to be free , 
As long as I have ink and black sheets 
Just write , write ....
I will write 
I have found a friend in a pen 
... friend

The Feeling

The feeling , 
What is this , 
Eats me up , 
Spits me out , 
Leaves me empty , hopeless 
Hopeless 
And what is life without hope ?
But the feeling 
I love this feeling 
I yearn for this feeling 
The feeling of love 
To love 
To be loved 
But what does the feeling do 
Drains me every time of the life in me
The very little life I have in me 
What then ? 
Do I still give in to feeling
To the emotion 
Let crave take over 
The feeling 
This feeling 
I'd give anything to lose 
The feeling 
.....

Sitting Here

I am sitting here thinking 
Were you a curse or a blessing 
A lesson or a blessing 
Said I'm sitting here hoping
Hoping you come knocking 
Sitting here praying
Pray that you come crawling 
And as long as this heart is beating 
This heart will be loving 
Loving you though there is no reversing 
You have done the thinking 
And now you are walking 
Here comes the stressing , the long nights crying , endless regretting 
Now I have to be asking 
Was it because of the feeling 
That you are now leaving
Said I am sitting here watching you leaving , my heart beating . teeth grinding chest bumping 
Just turn back and see the tears running 
Then darling start turning..

Achedrops

It dropped like raindrops
But they were salty, unlike raindrops 
And like raindrops 
It made things grow 
Sometimes in a row 
Grow 
Grow pain 
Grow misery 
Grow loneliness 
Grow hate 
Grow withdrawal 
Like raindrops 
There was something at the end
Just not a rainbow 
A heartache in a bow 
But just like raindrops, from rain 
I prayed for it
But unlike raindrops
I prayed for it to stop 
Not to pour 
But it did 
I called it achedrops
And tomorrow night
 Is yet another overcast..

1am Thought

I held them back again tonight 
Knowing it’ll happen again tomorrow night 
I guess you were right 
The two of us could never lose sight 
But cry as I might 
I have finally lost my light 
The days before me are no longer so bright 
But ride on my knight .. 
I’ll hold on to the memories of you holding me tight
