You live in my eyes,
in the the brilliant light that shines,
You live in my hands,
In every tender gesture for you are the warmth of my heart,
You live in my lips,
As the breath of life held between them and released in a sigh,
You live in the tip of my tongue,
In the flowers blooming there with the fragrance of love,
You live in the soles of my feet,
For wherever I walk,
I always carry the marks of your soul within me.

Fire Escape
Maybe our friendship was just an illusion,
And maybe our love didn't mean anything.
Maybe I'm gullible, or maybe I'm too nice,
Or maybe I just wanted to break the ice.
You told me you loved me, but then you just used me,
And I learned that's not what it's like to be free.
You built us a safehouse, but I was the door -
I'm not gonna be your fire escape anymore.
You got in hot water, and got yourself burned.
I felt for you at first, but then I learned
It was hot water you boiled yourself.
You didn't care as long as you could blame someone else.
You blamed me for everything, and I took it at first,
You told everyone being with me was the worst.
Yet you always came back to use me some more -
I'm not gonna be your fire escape anymore.
You pulled on my chain while pushing me away;
You kicked me out while saying you wished I could stay.
You told me to point out everything you're missing,
So I tried to tell you, but you wouldn't listen.
We tried to save a relationship that we never had -
You said you could change but you still just got mad.
You'll always have my love, but I'll never have yours.
I'm not gonna be your fire escape anymore.
I can't explain why it took me so long
To figure out I wasn't the one in the wrong.
There was a time when I thought you were right,
But now it's time to stand up for myself and fight.
I gave all I had, and did all I could.
It wasn't enough, but it was more than I should.
I love you, I miss you, but what's it all for?
I'm not gonna be your fire escape anymore.
i can’t save everyone. that’s something that i find so hard to accept. because even though i know i can’t, i still try. i try and try and try and try. it’ll destroy me one day. i can feel it. but at least i would have saved them, right?
Last night, I walked my
heart through the moon
to find the sun of my
soul smiling on the other
side of the door of clouds
as I could not sleep. I stretched
the rainbow of my hair to
litter the stars of my dreams
across the sky as if my life
would sing for the new green
of spring that began to sprout
within me when the truth beat
its mighty wings inside me
and with the light of my gaze,
I dress the day as love
and lay a white rose among a
bed of golden leaves,
unfolding the softness
that rises while painting
the caress of the colors of the
dreams left on the cooling
breath of autumn that coats
my skin with the diamond of hope
as I whisper light into the
darkest of corners
smiling as the shadows
kiss my hands with
thankful mouths
full of grace.
-J.Wool, Door of Clouds, Soul Whispers
So many things I’m learning to live with, live without, and live through.
I hear you.
I hear your voice
when it travels softly
in the wind on the warmth
of the breeze that
smiles rays of sunlight
to dance across
the gold of my skin,
I hear it when it
unfolds from the
leaves like a
laughing child
that flies finding
its way to seek
the breath of my
life in the form
of a butterfly that
flutters in time
to the song that
leaves my lips,
and when I sit
beneath the starry
night sky in awe
of the sweet kiss
of light that shines
my heart with your
name as it tucks
itself into the
arms of my soul
where it holds you
there safely while
the night prays dreams
to life and embraces
me with the beauty
of its magic to hold
behind my closed
eyes as I go to sleep.
-J.Wool, I Hear Your Voice, Soul Whispers
Her mood changes
Dances like medusa's hair,
Never stationing at a single spot
Zigzagging like a crossword puzzle,
Every day she's a new person
Someone with only traces of
A person who she was,
Changing with life's journey
Turning strange, sweet, and bitter,
Wanting to taste everything and nothing
Sometimes ambivalent sometimes a bomb of surety,
Yearning and learning
Leaving surprises that give a jolt
To life's monotony.
Unfocused
I don't want to think too much
But, still, my mind is filled with the fine air that hurts me and makes me weak every time I think of something in an uncertain way.
I don't know why I'm overthinking certain things I don't have to.
But, it's just that the distance has rolled over me like a big truck
forcing me to my end in hell.
Every cell inside my body is getting old and sick of the same stuff.
But, nothing plane comes as a thought that can make me revive.
I don't want to think the same way again.
Because-
I might just succumb to the poisonous air-filled chamber that resides in my brain. It's just that you can't force a honeybee to make honey your way.
But, what should I do for such an unfocused self, that I am?
These thoughts have been making me thoughtless up to my end.
I don't want to think too much
But, still, these keep on clogging up my brain. Why isn't it going my way?
-Divya
An empty sparkle
sleepless nights and starless skies give the impression that everything is empty. everything is nothingness. but this is incorrect. all the times i have laid my head on my pillow at night feeling empty, the stars still shone. i would eventually fall asleep, whether it be from plain giving up or the tears between my eyelashes gluing my eyes shut. the emptiness is rampant but the stars still sparkle outside my window. Sleepless nights and starless skies, on the other hand, are special. exhilarating. extraordinary. unique. they rarely happen. i will admit i have never experienced this. therefore, i will imagine what it would be like for me. Would you like to join me? i am sitting comfortably by the window with some soft instrumentals and only my thoughts. knowing me, i begin conducting a story within my mind. intricate characters and animated worlds emerge -- ones that have never been experienced before. the magic of the story-making process and the urgency to know what happens next keeps me alert all night. my eyes peer through the window up at the solid-black sky. there is not a twinkle in sight. the silence of the night sky erases all those rancid thoughts and memories that make me feel empty. i am at peace. here, i am peace. Oh, what a unique experience this would be. it seems like an equilibrium must be maintained. lonely emptiness inside, busy night sky outside. animated existence within, blank night sky beyond. i await the latter. what about you?
One should pay attention to even the smallest crawling creature for these too may have a valuable lesson to teach us.
i don’t write poems anymore.
i think about it, but it never happens.
i still collect words here and there, just in case.
but
i have run out of language to convey them.
this new reality feels insincere.
clinging to me like an indolent child.
i’m left with a profound sense of sadness,
-closing the door.
it hurts when i wake up everyday and i don't see fictional characters come to real life.
“I’m looking at it, and it is so beautiful.”
One comforting thought I had today was, that after everything that happens in life. There were times when I thought I couldn't get over a friendship, a rejection, a goal I wanted to achieve, a person I wanted to become, a life I had envisioned with someone, a career I wanted to have, certain way of doing something in life and achieving a milestone in a set frame of circumstances. It hurt a lot at the time. To say goodbye to unfulfilled opportunities. To unmet expectations. To face rejection. To grieve alone. To know that even though I wanted something so badly, I couldn't have it. Even if I prayed for it every night. If it wasn't meant for me, I couldn't get it. And that's exactly how life unfolded for me. One fine morning I woke up and felt nothing for that desire or yearning. I had grown indifferent to something I had once craved for wholeheartedly. This closure also didn't come overnight or through conscious effort. It just settled in. Now I look back at those people, places, circumstances, goals and I don't feel anything. No remorse, no shame; only gratitude. Extreme gratitude for all these things have taught me. And the biggest most comforting lesson is this. That even though while in pain; my body and mind keep reminding me of that hurt. And it feels like I'll never move ahead from it. I just know that I've done it before and it can happen once again.
I wish to get away
from all of this busy life.
Cars speeding by traffic,
people bickering over the phones while they run their
errands,
seeing more sidewalk than dirt.
No I wish to get away and
spend time with nature.
Be surrounded by leaves changing color.
Hearing birds have conversations with each other
as the river flows.
Or being surrounded by
tall pine trees.
Oh I could just take a big breath of that.
Feeling the heat of a campfire
surrounded by those trees, and sipping a
big cup of coffee.
To just slow down and be
consumed with nature.
