Halls of my heart

The city of my heart,

Bustled with joy

When you graced its throne

The city did thrive

Vibrant and joyous and

……

Alive

And then you abdicated

Said the crown was too heavy,

That it was a burden

And u weren’t ready.

The walls fell then,

And the city did die,

Like Craco it crumbled,

Buried under the grey sky

At times i tread the halls,

A memorabilia of the past,

Reminder of the bitter truth,

That some things aren’t meant to last.

That even if i wished upon

every shooting star,

All would have ended just like it did,

In pain and broken hearts.

But i do wonder still,

Were u my savior or a vice?

Were you the prime of my lovely city,

Or the trigger of its demise?

Sometimes, thoughts tucked away all day come out at night, thirsting for drink and meat, tugging at my sleeves, desiring time and comfort. This midnight child pleads for her moment, and I surrender, pulling her close, embracing every story she's waited so patiently to share until her lips grow numb with speech; she topples over upon my breast and drenches her eyes with sleep. This restless child within, her belly full, permits my mind to wander through night's depths where stars breathe candlelight and the moon draws liquid scenes upon my naked back. I stargaze smitten with night's tonic until these eyes grow dim and I succumb again to dreaming bliss. Goodnight, goodnight.

I don’t want to exist.

I want to live.

With you.

[shadowsandthorns]

‘Fate is cruel.’ Ahem. Have you seen humans?

[shadowsandthorns]

I am always thrown into a dilemma when someone asks me, “are you single or taken?” Like what do i say…I’m single in technical terms but my heart is committed to someone i have never seen so where does that put me?………..Perhaps in therapy.

My sun

I think you must be the sun,

For my whole being revolves around you.

You pull me close,

And I can’t help

but be drawn to you,

To your light.

Not like a moth to the flame,

No.

Your weren’t my end,

You were my revival.

Your light,

I seek it like a lost child,

Terrified, shrouded in darkness,

Who sees a lamp burning in a hut faraway,

And his heart flutters with hope,

At the promise of salvation.

That’s what you are to me.

My hope, my light.

My life.

i either read for hours or i don’t read anything for months and there’s no in between

[shadowsandthorns]

Cold, so cold,

My heart a frozen wasteland-

Desolate and lonely,

Bleak and bland.

My eyes are trailing the sky,

Fingers counting the beats

To sunshine,

…

Waiting for my spring,

To end the December.

~M

[shadowsandthorns]

Tell me it is not

Is it a sin to fall in love?

Is it a sin to surrender my heart?

Why did they make us feel like it was?

Some nights, most nights i wonder

Did the fault lie in my affection,

Or the world’s eye?

They said we could never be,

That this was, and will always be,

a passing cloud in your crystal skies-

A taint on the silk of your perfect life.

Tell me love, was it a mistake?

Please, please tell me it was not.

Waiting for a piece of you

to fill the void in me.

Shades of her mind

Her mind is an explosion of colors,

Gracefully bleading into one another,

A mesh of hues, beautifully woven,

A piece of art -

Beautiful to all,

understood by none.

“There are two people you’ll meet in your life. One will run a finger down the index of who you are and jump straight to the parts of you that pique their interest. The other will take his or her time reading through every one of your chapters and maybe fold corners of you that inspired them most. You will meet these two people; it is a given. It is the third that you’ll never see coming. That one person who not only finishes your sentences, but keeps the book.”

Sunshine

They call her sunshine,

Bright and cheery,

a kiss of warmth.

But-

Little they know,

With the sun’s retreat,

The shadows arrive to take control.

Firmly around her neck,

Her chest, her heart,

Squeezing, crushing,

Tearing her apart.

And by dawn, she’s a mess.

But-

She still stands,

Picks the broken fragments,

And covers the pain.

Smiles and laughs and brings around joy,

Yes, she’s the sunshine in darkened skies.

I fell and drowned. The world watched in silence.

[spiritsandsolace]

Unbridled

Someday I'd let it all out

I'd cry until I'm kneeling on the floor

I'd laugh like a maniac till my throat is sore

I'd dress myself pretty and pose in front of camera without feeling ashamed

I'd tear all the books that made me feel unintelligent

And curse the gods who abandoned me

I'd paint a picture with my blood

And dance to the beat of my heart

I'd light my room on fire and watch it all burn

Stare at the mirror

And sing at last,

Look, I'm alive

I'm alive

I'm alive
