I’m afraid

I have dreams every night, terrible one’s,

all weaving a pattern,

but still distinctly apart.

I travel through history,

from arrows to nuclear bombs.

I struggle, I fight every time,

I fight to live, or more  to survive.

Dante’s hell, the breeding Inferno,

isn’t that what we’ve made ourselves?

Is that why we try,

is that why we want to stay alive?

As we speak,

Inferno possesses the entire world,

  It was pouring that day. I was standing at the porch with a book and my cup of tea when I felt the first drop hit. It was followed by a few more. I knew I should go inside. I was getting wet, but I made no move to turn away. I watched as the drops fell to the ground. I felt the soil moisten under my feet. I heard the raindrops fall onto tree leaves like old friends. I smelt the earth rejoicing…

Blow the lights out

Blow the lights out of my candle. If it has to happen, I’d rather it be you.

After quite a lot of deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that this is the best sort of love. When you love her with all your heart and soul, when you love her so much it becomes a sweet ache in your body. You can’t tell her, and you can’t not tell either. So, you settle for the next best thing. You live on the…

I’m afraid to touch you,

my angel with your broken wings.

You sit by my feet, you trust me, and that,

it makes me afraid.

You look so beautiful.

Broken. Fragile. Shattered.

All for me to fix.

I’d fix you, if you’d let me.

  Or, I’d destroy you.

A part of me wants to keep you here,

at my feet, at my mercy.

I want your doe-like eyes on my face,

I want your admiration and your awe.

I want all of…

Come here, sit by me for some time. We’ll look at the waning moon is silence. Lend me your shoulder to cry on, I need it right now. Hold me close, tell me everything will be okay, but don’t let a word drop from your lips, you will kill me if you do. Don’t leave me, your warmth is keeping me from going numb. Let me take whatever comfort I need from you, please. Let me be selfish with you, let me…

War never solved any problems, they just broke people apart.

They met for a few blissful hours, escaping the reality of life and love. They commemorated over their past, hoped for a future with their family. Lay down together to watch the stars, and blink goodbye to the night. Brother and sister, they sat, wishing they could stop time. They waited with trepidation for the day, told each other to be safe and happy. They held hands, shoulders bumping, heads…

I don’t want to be your sunshine, because you like to sit in the dark. I don’t want to be your life, because you’ve given up on it long ago. I don’t want to be your air, because  you think its dispensable. I don’t want to be your love, because you lost faith in its power. I don’t want to be your rock, because you’re already drowning. I don’t want to be your aphrodisiac, because you will never…
