A Poet , a Lover

You came into my life like a storm 
And I floated away with hope 
Words come out of your mouth like lava 
Sometimes I get lost in the flow 
As new life is given out in spring
You poured joy into my  heart
You gave me love and affection
I dreamt you kissed me
And left poetry on my lips 
Time created questions 
But days meant forever 
My mirror reflects our future
In your eyes, there was my smile
Something I've been longing
Your words sing a song of love
As my heart dances to it
And I keep your name to my heart

Broken

I've always had my pen and paper rescue me from my thoughts 
Now..now i feel i have to rescue them from your toxicity 
'Cause lately you've been all that runs through  my mind
You seem to interfere with my every thought
And i just comprehend to the scale of each interference 
I feel so caged , i feel so naked...

I am so subdued to reason that;
I had taken your love and painted a fine piece of art 
And hanged it upon the walls of my heart 
A sacred place within this museum 
That you chose to tear apart....
I'd  expected you to show some thriftness to my heart 
But you went rough on it 
Now I'm  left to deal with these broken pieces

Confusion

Hanging out with me may be whatever,
But talking to me,
When you really begin talking to me....
It's just like a flip is switched..
Or I flip some kind of a switch all of a sudden
And quite unexpectedly
And you start pouring out..

Saying and revealing things about yourself
About things.the way you feel.or have felt about
Everything or particular things
Because to me ,it's like talking to your own soul,
Infact,I may be just that ,
Sure, I'm out here living
and walking around now,Same as you....
But it's just like that inner....
That inward point of view and being..yours.

He is suddenly right here with you
Before your eyes,right besides you 
Caring, listening, urging, compelling,
Just setting you free
Many are so scare or frightened..Frozen
They never let this anger out...
This fear.. sorrow.. pain.. whatever it is
Whatever else it is..

These things bury me
Conceal and cover up
So scared of what they might say
What that then would mean too for having being said..
Fears, frustrations, confusion, am i a coward?
Am I a terrible person now?

I must be crazy,horrible,a monster, or terribly good....
Authentic,true being, kind, compassionate,
And if so ,what now
How can I , How could you?
So many things ....and these things...
Be they experiences or true feelings over things..
Not allowing these things to be spoken..
Heard by themselves...suits me out.... 
Then their soul...

It's like a dump truck of thoughts..
Feelings and emotions are overturned and really upon me..
And all this ...this weight ..covers me..
And forces me to go hard..
To just deal with this ever rising and increasing weight ..load..God it's heavy
And then I come around
Most never are really aware this has even happened

Untitled

Words come , words go
My thoughts tonight as taut as rope 
Just when the serein makes its final bow 
In cold waters my feet i soak
As i walk down the gateways of the mind 
Where i am engulfed by grief and serenity
I never saw you leave as if i was blind
And the thought of it brought my heart calamity

She Laid There Peacefully

I watched her sleep ,
And almost dropped a tear
Because she laid there peacefully 
And all i wanted to do was borrow her ear
I wanted to tell her things..these things 
That haunt me even when I'm wide awake
But she laid there peacefully 
When all i wanted was to tell her of all the traumas I've encountered.....
Still in her presence..
How I'd lay on the floor crying wishing for a miracle to happen 
My hands would shake when agony hit from mind to heart 
I could still feel his claws tempering with my body
I could still see the pleasure it drew in his eyes 
And i could still feel his member 
 hanging over my head 
Waiting for a chance to force it's way in between my legs 
But she laid there peacefully 
Everything is not ohk 
When the rain falls , i wish it'd wash my mind clean ...
And the rainbow ..paint colour to my heart 
I've  wanted to tell her of all the times i cried till i was left with no tear to drop 
How I'd  lay awake all night wishing i wasn't alive
How i watched myself bleed after every razor cut 
Because i believed as my blood flowed the pain left my body too
But all that never helped 
I'd  spend days of tears and no one would notice ...not even her
But she lays there peacefully
When my heart bleeds 
When my body soaks in blood .

Sincerely so

I've known my love for what now seems to be a long time 
And yet I'd forced myself not to acknowledge it 
Not to let my heart intrude upon the determination of my mind
I'm dying for your love
I wish to dig your heart out and drink your blood
Now there words seem to beat against me as if someone else was saying them
Repeating them over and over again until they drummed in my ears ,growing louder and louder
Until my whole body vibrated to the rhythm of it 
Oh darling I'm dying for your love 

Though I'd never told you 
You must have been aware 
That my heart turned over whenever our eyes met
Whenever our eyes me 
I yearned for you the very moment i saw you 
I remember how beautiful you'd appeared as you walked towards me
We kissed as you made your way down to the garden of eden
Atleast I'll have that to remember 
I admit now that since then I'd not gone to sleep 
Trying to recapture the feels of your lips on mine
The strength of your arms when you held me against you
That kiss has spoilt me 
Because never again would it be possible for another being to touch me 
Even on the hand without feeling revolted by it 

Now one , two ,three,twelve hours before midnight 
When he kissed my hand
I felt a cold shiver run through my veins
As almost as if his lips had been those of a reptile
But then insidiously, frighteningly so 
The fact was born in upon me that he was man enough to want more from me than a kiss
There had been a look in his eyes as he spoke which was impossible to misinterpret 
Had he approached me closely I'd want to run panic stricken to safety 
And what did safety mean ever since i entered the live era except you ?
I love you ..i love you 
And as always i go back to the same drumming and throbing sound within my heart 
The same yearning which prevaded my whole body 
Like an aching wound until i knew 
It was impossible to face life without you
