Freedom

I emotionally desire the experience to be free,
where i yearn to stand undisturbed like a tree.

They say time can to so much, in my case so little,
i can feel myself interchange and becoming heavily brittle.

I long to recognize the sensation to be free,
i wish you were aware of how tender it is to be me.

My pennant days and lack of self confidence is something i cannot choose to ignore,
and now i am heartfelt like never before.

My River of Tears

Imprisioned deep inside is the existing power of guilt,
unworkable to disregard, the power has now built.

I feel no shamelessness to relinquish this unwanted strength, 
as its been my chaperon for its unwanted length.

A Shadow of displeasure hauls over me like a dismal cloud, 
corrupting my perception and leaving me far from proud.

Lacking the vision of that diminutive fragment of hope i once had clutched guared in my 
dream,
now all is bewildered in the course transition of the natural flow in the stream.

Alone

My dispirited action is no more than a silent cry.
My passion for solitary is what helps me get by.

It's more than an enhanced degree of fixation.
But one of a thriving thirst of fascination.

My forlorn passion is resembling the ocean of despair.
Feeding my unquenchable thirst, by threatening it into a lair.

Darkened Tears

Help stop my deserted tears from descending down my somber face,
I’ve learn't to swallow my pain in the company of strangers at my own pace.

If we were born with wings Id fly away from the hurt that fills my eyes,
Id fly to a distance and block out my silent cries.

Inside of me lies a child in the form of a woman’s thoughts,
A secret so deeply imbedded its accustomed to me and refuses to aborts.

Who's to say if you don't kiss away the pain from my eyes it will disappear,
If I could I would squander my existence in order never to feel the fear.

Awaiting

I believe that there is a place where restless souls stray,
burdened by their own sadness, trying to find their way.

Uttering the words "Follow me close",
understanding why is what you need to know most.

And to live for the moment, yet to relish your greatest fears,
of death returning like the vale of tears.

To rectify the harm i have caused,
earns me no points or applause.

Life is just a dream on the way to heavens stairway,
rigid and cold with fear because no-one is here to stay.

If I

If i could paint, i would paint you my smile.
If i could run,i would run you a mile.

If i could sing, i would sing you my heart.
If i had a wish, i would wish us never to be apart.

If i could dance, i would dance you my devotion.
If i could cry, i would cry you my emotion.

If i was a door, i would open in your arms.
If i was a hand, i would let you eat out of my palms.

If i was a book, i would read you my thoughts.
If i was a memory, i would show you all sorts.

Silent Cry

For you this poem I write,
Sat on my own, lost in the distant night.

I would give you my body to take away your pain,
It’s my own selfish approach to feel no more shame.

The anger I hold for myself sleeps within my eyes,
It echo’s my thoughts and dampens my cries.

It took me by my vulnerable and awaiting hand,
And led me to a distant and far away land.

Iv watched my world from behind my fears,
Now my soul and senses are bringing me to tears.

In the hidden depth of my soul hides my pain,
Thriving for it to leave my body to be washed away by the rain.

I lived my life for you but now you've gone,
At least our memories have given me strength to go on.

Missing You

My last goodbye with you was filled with terminal fear,
I tried so hard to hold back my final tear.
Scrutinizing the unwanted and uncontrollable situation,
Sentencing myself and pushing my determination.
I can hear my broken heart crying for you not to go,
Nurturing my emotions quietly hoping they won't show.
Guarding the reality of loneliness and despair,

Yearning your absence knowing life isn't fair,
Obtaining your promise to stay strong is proving to be hard,
Unfortunate for others I’m unwilling to take down my guard.

Painfull Tears

Every tear i discard holds emotional power,
many are warm and gentle like a summer flower.

Though they vairey where some decline bitter and raw,
hurting more than scouring salt into an open sore.

Tears of joy and tears of pain,
all mist together and pour like the virgin rain.

Lacking the vitality of life is no more a source of concern,
locked in this unforeseen world we are all awaiting our turn.

Excepting my painfull tears are here to stay,
no guided route can keep them at bay.
