Some people are born with tornados in their lives,but constellations in their eyes.Other people are born with stars at their feet,but their souls are lost at sea.

(Invisible) Scars
Emotional scars are simply chapters in my book. Each one is a progression towards something great. Each one tells it’s own tale.

Morning Thoughts: 5.2.16
You can paint over cracks but you can’t paint them away.
A Breathless Desire
You make me feel a little like the way I feel when I see the sky alight with the fire of a sunset.
You take my breath away.
A Middle Eastern Sunrise
I felt you in the Eastern sunrise
just as I felt you in the Western sunset,
but you weren’t there.
I saw you in the overlapping mountain peaks
and in the layer of mist caressing the snow-capped tips,
but you still weren’t there.
I sensed you in the mid-winter breeze
as it lashed it’s claws onto my skin
but you weren’t there next to me.

without being anywhere at all?

how empty his soul must have been
to rip through my heart with such callous ignorance.
But then I remembered that

and despite the brutality of this blinding darkness
it never counteracts the incandescent blanket
which will always shine brighter.
