I bled poignant words of misery
onto a callously empty sheet of paper,
as blank as the expression on his face,
and it was then that I understood
what it was to be a poet.

(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.
The Light of a Wildfire
Some hold the promise of a candlelight:
others,
wildfires.
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.
How can one be everywhere
without being anywhere at all?
