LOVE puts the music in laughter, the rhythm in a song, the warmth in a shoulder, the gentle in strong... LOVEputs the beauty in blue,the pink in a cloud,the cheer in voices,the smiles in a crowd... LOVE puts the fun in together, the sadness in apart, the hope in tomorrow, the joy in ones heart... LOVE puts the magic in memories, the sunshine in skies, the content in happy, the starlight in eyes... LOVEputs the oh! in wow,...

As rain falls from the sky So shall you from heavenly bliss Heavier, heavier the water grows The pressure becomes unbearable As thunder explodes in the sky So shall you from a furious longing Louder, louder the sonic waves boom The noise becomes unbearable As lightning erupts in the sky So shall you lash out at friends Brighter, brighter it burns along The light becomes unbearable But all storms shall pass Leaving destruc...

There is a force out there both benevolent and maliciousIt forces us to push ourselves past our mental and physical limitsIt strikes when it is least expected It has killed probably as many as it has savedIt is a force powerful enough to make us defy our most primal self-preserving nature.It freezes and ignites the heart all at onceBut in the end, it cannot have bothIt invades your mind, your sleep, your breathEyes will w...

Silent fog rolls in from the south Holding hangs to navigate This long-forgotten world A testament to the dead The couple walks past the tombstones Treading carefully to avoid Suffocation, possession Attack from a vengeful spirit Hands break grasp When a crow swoops down Man and woman run separate ways The fog isolates them Thirteen minutes pass And a phantom bell sounds Ringing thru the night The source is unknown Man an...

“I will gladly endure pain after pain after pain if it means being happy in the end. Unless of course, it kills me, in which case I have not earned that happiness.” “That’s the definition of insanity you know.”“We’ve already established that I’m insane.” This was taken from a recent conversation I had with my best friend, who is going through a breakup with her boyfriend of 3 months. I’m…in the same situation as her, hear...

The road to your cabin is rutted, with sides that are just sheer enough that I have a recurring daydream about slipping off a hazy edge into the trees on a future icy night. I sometimes wonder whether the jagged branches would impale me or just stop the car from tumbling into the endless darkness and how long it would take for someone to find me if it happened. The thought of it, the manufactured danger, is enough that I...

When I am ashes upon the shelf Will you remember me When you feel your skin tingle Will you remember me When you sense a breath in your ear Will you remember me When you see my toothbrush by the sink Will you remember me When you see my pictures Will you remember me I saw your name written in a book And I remembered I inhaled the scent from your clothes And I remembered I pulled the photos off the wall And I remembered I...

Release yourself into the winds,Allow yourself to spin widdershins. No better time to be alive,Allow the best to yet arrive. There is no fate, no destiny,Don't cast your lots, sing out, be free. Your sails unfurl and move you outTo serve your dreams, to dance about. Caressing breezes trace your face,You feel the grace in its embrace. Stay trapped in life as freedom singsAbout the fervid joy love brings. And sighing trust...

Why did you come hereWhat is it that you fearWhy do you vanishAnd then suddenly reappear Why did you pick meDid you think I'd not seeThe weakness in youOr this living hypocrisy Perhaps you saw it in meItching and begging to be freeWelcomed with open armsNo longer some huge mystery Here we are, together at lastStuck trying to erase the pastNow I have a partnerTo help throw what I can not cast I wish I had you to blameI hop...

Venture back into the past I do.Times long ago, I can't undo. Back in time when I was a kid.Eons have past, heaven forbid. Places that I have visited before.Spaces not wanting to re-explore. Bruises, scars, some are painful.Matter of fact, many be baneful. Asking myself from time to time.How can I ever undo the crime? Guilty feeling passed onto me,For things I never asked to be. Stuff I never would have chosen.Deeds that...

It is hard to remember my life before you Back to those days that were tough to get through Claiming nothing was missing was clearly untrue I now see I was blinded by a distressed point of view When we collided, I was shocked to realize Feelings I missed now took me by surprise Promised love unable to get past all the lies Hope now appeared mysteriously before my teared eyes Life lacked meaning until you resurrected me Lo...

I have forever been a dreamer, and so, I admit, I idealise love in a lot of ways.Sure, I've been hurt, although I prefer not to acknowledge the potentialities, it's almost a certainty that lies in us all. Some instances remain only as distant memories, perhaps only surfacing when songs a once-beloved was fond of grace the airwaves, stilling my heart to ache to the faint beat of nostalgia's echo. Fresher burns may linger,...

So the handsome Chevalier returnsLeaving a trail of broken hearts in his wakeYet there is one heart he lusts after but cannot haveFor it is under safeguardLock and keepThe fair maiden plays a tough gameLeaving our handsome Chevalier to guess what really lies beneath the surfaceHe has hinted at knowing her true soulYet he will not tell of his findingsFrustration looms between the pairNeither willing to break the silenceAnd...

"Miss, Vena! Welcome back!" "Aye, Vena. It's been a while sweet heart." "Yo! Vena! Over here!" "Molo, Vena. Kuye mzuzwana, abe na?" "Hey, Vena!" "Welcome back, miss snake. What'll it be tonight?" "I told you," Vena replied. "It's not snake. It's Vena. Give me a caipirinha." "You know I can't do that," the bartender replied. "Besides, even if I knew how to mix that, a girl your age shouldn't be drinking alcohol." "Come on,...

A tapestry of color nature weaves,Changing greens to red and gold,Across high hills and valleys low.Heated days now a memory leaves,Spring's new life no longer bold.Gone are warm winds that blow.Summer's green packed in sheaves.Tucked away for the coming cold.Color soon traded for Winter's snow.My mind foggy as it perceives,I'm in the autumn of life's hold.Most times I'm left eating crow.Seasons pass quicker oh I grieves;...
