To let go is hard –
The final step to ending
Lasting loneliness

ÂME SŒUR
28 Saturday Nov 2020
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.

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.

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.

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.

How will I know? – The Quote and a Bonus Poem Challenge. Day 1
20 Monday Jul 2015
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

Can’t deal with the problem
06 Monday Jul 2015
Posted in Poems
Can’t deal with the problem,
Kicking and screaming,
Fingers clutched tightly,
I am pacing the floor.
Hating is bad,
And bad is what’s killing,
Draining the good
And painting in gore.
Dishonest, skilled cheaters,
They sprint the distance
From one hearth to hostel
And back for some more.
Anger is bad,
And bad is what’s willing
To turn dark the blameless
And start futile wars.
Part of their nature
Is playing the victim,
Pretending to grieve
While hiding a gun.
Rancour is bad,
And bad is what’s drilling
Through light-hearted laughter,
Destroying its core.
I hear screams in the night, and I wake up

I hear screams in the night, and I wake up –
It wasn’t a dream, so I crawl
To the light strip that comes from the kitchen;
I’m afraid, but I have to go on.
I don’t want to see but I am staring,
And it is hurting my soul like a knife,
Piercing through me, and I am forever
Feeling nothing, forever, I’m gone.
If it weren’t a sin, would I stand up?
And raise my hand higher than sun
To bruise you, and cut you, and make you
Feel the guilt for the things that you’ve done.
I am broken, but I am burning,
I will find an alternative way.
It is not my burden to carry,
Time is ruthless, you’ll feel it one day.
