Melissa Joy Poem
Today
You came up to me
With great conviction
To declare that your love for me is sincere
Yesterday
You came up to me
With no less conviction
To declare that two plus two equals three
I fail to determine which one is more false
But I feel foolish for believing you twice

Melissa Joy Poem
Mere silence is all it took
to put an end to her soul's cries
Her heart, caterwauling in disharmony
has been waiting for the storm to abate
It has finally happened
Her heart no longer goes to war
as its deed has been narrowed down to one
- to fulfil its role as a diligent pump
in burning quest of keeping her body alive
With the power of her revived heart
and the courage of her liberated soul
The mountains she once feared
are finally beginning to move

Melissa Joy Poem
Our love is botanical garden
where the trees have evanesced
The petals have wilted
The roots are debilitated
as if they were immune to growth
And the soil can barely shelter a seed
This is the landscape of the dead
Hope dies before it can grow
No season will stop this home from dying
What has withered will never return
I long for the time when this was our Eden
A place of peace and harmony
Yet I sit here in everlasting silence
appreciating the greatest dissonance of today
- Our botanical garden
