Seeds of My Pain

Black weeds of doubt
still sprout
from the seeds of me pain
remembering the day
when i had lost love again
after letting myself care much
forgot that love is hush
still I tasted the bitter
side of love that wasn't better
those words of pain from your letter

Ignored that, there is danger
in loving someone so much
that love is blind
takes over the mind
had treasured happiness
and locked it away in sadness
for black weeds of doubt
still sprout
from the seeds of my pain

As I force myself to remember
the drying, falling & dying
of our love in November
when summer started
had no love content
when the knife so sharp
those lies tore me apart
left me with black weeds of doubt
that still sprout
from the seeds of my pain

Now I cant say it no more
that I love you alot
for that repetition
does not bring correction
to the horror of my past
when i thought i had found love at last
until the day when all were gone
and our love was done
remaining with only black weeds of doubt
that sprout
from the seeds of my pain

they sprout
cause i doubt
that you love me
i think you'll hurt me
like he did, again...

Missing You

Missing you hurts me
thoughts of you torture me
I need you here to
touch your beautiful skin,
see your glorious smile.

The sound of your name
ignites a flame
within this lonely being.

My wish, my dream
is to hear you speak to me
with your melodious voice.

Missing you, evokes a 
certain feeling that makes
my stomach turn
and feel butterflies.

Help me please,
I'm falling for you with ease
will you catch me
with your caring arms?

Help me please
I'm drowning in this
pool of pain
and its driving me insane

This feeling of missing you...

Breakthrough

This heart beats to the rythm of a broken melody 
unsung, unheard. It tears through these walls of imprisonement 
that i created with tears 
that flowed, flooded and drowned me 
into my world of nothingness 
where only the echo of my fading voice 
drains my thoughts 
where feeling consume and describe me 
even i do not understand why 
I let this be 
why i let me 
be bound by this chain 
that has become a part of this being 
seeing is believing, they say 
but I am inviscible 
unseen, unknown 
striving to be recognized 
wanting to escape this torture of silence.

I Am a Woman- Let Me Be

Perhaps pretending that
This protest playing in my head
Is a plot to please the pain
I preset in my brain
But I’m still insane, ill
Not the same, since you came
I can’t feel the hurt
From my heart
Though from the start
We become as one
And now we are done.

Maybe
I am still your lady
Somehow in your life, I’m handy
I mean something
Though I always think of nothing
Sometimes the suprises you spring on me
Make me smile silently
As I stare at your sweet self, good old days…..
Contemplating of my fortune that I found you
And know you feel the same way too
Until you really hurt me.

I thought your jealousy would end
That our difference we’ll mend
Btu the years I spent
Giving you all of me
So that we can be
I never knew of my worth
Nor thought of my health
You were my wealth
And for that
I was in love with love
Not the reality
That tell a story known to me
Not the song written to express
My own poetry
Lonely I sit here scared
Hoping you’ll finally see
This woman in me.

This girl who’s not hers’ in anyway,
Any day would let you hit her
Leave her alone to bleed
But this has to stop
Because perhaps telling
The world my story
Would make you hear
That the abuse she can not bear
Please do not abuse
This woman in me.....

The Right To Write

If I had the right
to write
of this unexplainable feeling
that need your healing
would you be here
to dry the tears
I can't say it to you
cause I'm afraid of what you'll do

If I had the right
to write
of what is buried deep within me
you'll know that we were meant to be
but my mouth could not move
I am not sure if Icould prove
of this desire
that burns within me like fire

If I had the right
to write
the words will not be hard to find
I'll say it with my might
tell you the truth
that I really
without a doubt
though it may sound silly, I love you.....

Amongst All...

Amongst all, my intention
was not to hurt you
though I hated what you did
the fact that i allowed you to
pained me more

Amongst all, my emotions
still breed of you
my nose smelt your scent
that even lingers on my skin
but I never wanted to make you cry

Amongst all, my mind
is filled with thoughts of you
with bittersweet memories
of what we used to be

Amongst all, my heart
still beats to the rhythm
of our song, that we made
but in time fade away
and never heard to this day

Amongst all, my soul
is searching for a mate
that knows it as much
as it would, that cares but

Amongst all this
I wish it was me
whom you never loved...

You

My love, I'm addicted to your voice
It sounds through my ears to my heart
Breaking the walls I made
yet you are able to unlock.
My love, I can't live without hearing you
i would be sick from not being able to talk to you
I'd be so hurt even
If we did not speak for a day
My love, I'm addicted to you

It Happens

Cupid shot and missed

His arrow fell before it reached.

Intentions to arouse emotions...failed.

Simple, short: She couldn't be tamed.

Did it need to be named?

Or labelled Whatever it was-what he wanted to do?

To make her see his aim to claim her love?

It had to be more than sight

More than eyes that met at night

in the dark when a chemical spark

ignited and manifested

through words, through action

action to explain the pains of emotion

felt but died out in attempted communication.

Flowers

I do not like flowers in the house

because they remind me of funerals

Of weddings too; a bride's bouquet closely knit

tightly bound with silk ribbons; tighly held.

Flowers make me sad

and still I like to see them

painted on walls on which

I can't smell their scent nor touch their petals

but only see their colors fade

as the light reflected on the wall cover my face

and tears roll down like rose petals

to the bottom of the Earth when saying the last goodbye

flowers with message cards to those who've departed

put inside coffins, inside graves

and on top of their new and forever homes

that is why I do not like flowers

inside houses of people who are alive

So Far

Right now, I would give anything to be where you are
But you are so far
Oceans divide us
How
should I fell now?
Time does not determine my love
It has remained still the way it were
I wish I could spare
these scars that cannot be erased
That have surfaced
throughout these months
Its you I care about
A whole damn LOT!
But I'm here wishing to go back
wanting to be there
needing you at this moment....
