Lack of sleep for days

Losing faith, does it exist –

Our connection?

Fury – sinkhole of anger where trust had been dwelling once

They think they can say

Where I should be and when, so –

Fuck their stupid ways.

To let go is hard –

The final step to ending

Lasting loneliness

I have found something to be true

Something I have been suspecting,

However I try, it is hard to construe –

My fears no longer affect me.

***

It’s funny, because I cannot reach out

Time is beyond us

We’ve met only once;

Fleeting instances, barely a glance,

Find me, my lover, and let’s take a chance.

My second half – and I am yours

Wherever you are, I am mostly indoors

If you can feel me, give me a sign

A tug on my heart, two hearts will entwine.

I’ve known you before,

We’ve made a pact

To meet in this life and never look back.

Find me, my lover,

I am here by the sea,

Waiting for you

Under the old white oak tree.

This one was published by my university’s student newspaper 🙂 Now you can read it here, or follow the link: http://www.palatinate.org.uk/?p=63474

Relationships-pic-Maira

We could’ve been perfect,

But we weren’t at all –

You lived to party,

While I stayed at home.

You’re Nickelodeon,

And I am Fox Kids.

You talked too much,

When I wanted peace.

You were forgetful

And driving me mad,

Yet charming and funny –

You weren’t that bad.

We’re complete opposites

But at a faraway point,

On the line at infinity

Parallels join.

She’s hiding a secret

She’s hiding a secret –

A life-long mystery.

It lives inside-

A part of her history.

She was let down

And quit the show:

She won her fight,

When she let go.

I am a vampire of the new millennium,

I am the queen of the whispers and drunks.

I rule the kingdom of parties,

While longing to walk in the sun.

Trust me,

I’m going to be fine

Without the shade

That brings another lie.

You made them up, but I forgive.

You slashed my skin,

Yet it is you I will outlive.

– William Shakespeare

In my daydream, I have found

The universe, liberating my words,

Making me bounce on my toes,

Freeing the spark like a bird,

Riding the tidal wave of absurd,

Escaping mistakes of the past –

Evolving into my real self at last.


“Logic will get you from A to Z. Imagination will get you everywhere.” – Albert Einstein

The world is so big,

And how will I know

When I find that special

Match for my soul?

Is it your smile

Or the sound of your voice,

Your distinct cheekbones

That’ll leave me no choice?

How will I know

You’re not a mistake –

Are you a vision,

Or am I awake?

If we’ve met before,

You can meet me again,

Gravitate back towards me

And tell me your name.

In your embrace

We’ll exist out of time,

Together forever –

I am yours

And you’re mine.


“I will find you. In the farthest corner, I will find you.”

– Mary E. Pearson, The Kiss of Deception
