To Be Brave

I have my feet planted deep within the soil
becoming one with the earth
All my life
would I dream
to be part of the sea
Or
be high in the sky
I was brave and took a leap
but no wings sprout from my back
and the sea didn't soften my fall
So I read between the lines
I attempted flight and drowned soon after
But jump off the cliff I did
To Be Brave to Admit
that I do not belong
Here I'll stay rooted
So long, so long
 
To Be Brave

I have my feet planted deep within the soil
becoming one with the earth
All my life
would I dream
to be part of the sea
Or
be high in the sky
I was brave and took a leap
but no wings sprout from my back
and the sea didn't soften my fall
So I read between the lines
I attempted flight and drowned soon after
But jump off the cliff I did
To Be Brave to Admit
that I do not belong
Here I'll stay rooted
So long, so long
Love this. ❤
Had that feeling more than once.

Be brave...
For at first attemp you may not fly
Or sink in the seas with drowning cry.
But with continued leaps
And many sorrowed weeps
You may soar upon the high...
 
Eyes on fire

Foolish from the start,
sparks flew everywhere,
embers of fire burning my skin,
twinkles in my eyes, just like fireflies.

A ball of light,
another night of lighting myself on fire,
the warmth hurt,
it was awkward and unbearable,
a flame I could not tame.

But ice burns.
For the last circle of hell was nothing but a blazing blizzard,
heavy and suffocating,
can you feel yourself turn blue?
My hands on your neck,
choking you.
The same way your cowardly hands
burned me too.

Not water, for it weeps
but the ice is firm, not as forgiving.
It feels familiar and just like me,
sharp and brittle and sickening.
No more embers, no more warmth,
no more rebirth.
No more home.

Winter always,
bitter eyes,
sick and tired of pretending I'm alright.
Shiver and tremble,
hear me sneer,
See the way I walk without fear,
I've lost it all, got nothing to lose
I'm like a God,
you should fear me too


Yes, this is for you.
I hate you,
I hate you,
I hate you at last.

My last idiotic poem for you,
good luck and do your best,
Love you but fuck you.
Won't bother to win you back.
 
Another year without you is on its way
I still feel the greed and wished you would stay
Without you, my love, every day is just grey
Every night I think about you and prey

You are an angel now upon in the sky
Left me here with my thoughts when I cry
I never thought that you would ever die
But I promise you, every day I will try

I prey for you right here on my knees
Will try to go on and find some peace
Imagine our days gives me kind of release
They make me smile and let me breathe
 
(not so much a poem but...I've never felt more poetic than I do now < 33 )


Dust or a Spark?

On a little dirt road I pedaled on my bike
wind caressing my skin and hair
loved the smell of the cool fresh air.
A desolate road I've always been on my own
solitude as my companion wherever I go.
The big, huge sky looking down upon me
the stars as my only source of light,
whispering, 'yeah, everything's gonna be alright.'

Darker, and darker, and darker it got,
slowly engulfed and more careless I got.
Became unsteady and for impact I braced,
fell off my bike and felt myself cave.
I didn't expect it, was so caught off guard,
felt something lurking and looming coming from the dark.
A voice I didn't recognize, something so new,
I was gazing into the abyss, and he was gazing back too.

Felt a soft caress on my cheek, and a large hand gripping my arm
"What's a little beam of light doing all the way out here in the dark?"
A light tone, a sort of sneer
but for some reason it made me buckle, felt no fear.
Off my knees he picked me up,
"That was quite the fall, sort of funny coming from the sun, huh?"
His puns were terrible and stupid and I'm sure he knew,
still they made me wheeze and my grin grew.

His long fingers wiped something from my cheek,
"A speck of dust?" I muttered
"or a Spark," he chimed.
And so there I stood, feeling small and meek,
but he picked me up, how stupid, how sweet.
A little glowing ember sparked from the ground,
he crouched and picked it up with his large hand and frowned,
"You shouldn't leave pieces of your heart lying around,"
I watched as he dusted pieces of dirt off and put it in his pocket.
"I'm keeping this for the next time we meet. A dust, or a spark.
I too am not sure, but I am curious to see if you felt that ember between us,
just like I could
."

Frantic, wide-eyed and confused,
I tugged on his sleeve,
"How long have you been here? Tell me please?!
Have you always been here? Please, forgive me
."
A reassuring touch, and a kiss to my forehead that lingered for a while,
"Sunshine...I could practically spot you for miles,
For you were so blinded by a lover from the past,
I'm only happy you can see me at last
."

A squeezing in my chest, but this one didn't sting,
it was new, it was liberating.
And his final words kept echoing in my ribcage,
"Till we meet again, My Guiding Light,"
Wasn't sure if it was his whistling or the wind
singing a song,
but I started humming the same one.

Back on my bike, I pedaled so hard
feeling my eyes reflecting the stars.
Free and wild, this abyss has welcomed me,
I no longer feel the past chasing me.
With a crooked smile,
and tinted cheeks,
and a little ember pulling my heartstrings.

I whispered to the stars,
"yeah, everything's gonna be alright."

I'm humming.
I'm humming.
I'm humming like a schoolgirl in love.
I'm humming.
I'm humming.
I'm humming from a new love.

"Within this new universe
Both the Shepherdess watch...
Accepting her fate
As the Beginning and the End,
The Shepherdess smiles,
Her love existing now within the everything~"

Hear me out
We’re star bound
And maybe time’s a lie,
We synchronize our lives
And maybe every night’s
A chance to find ourselves
In the land of the unknown,
I’ll go if you go
To the land of the unknown,
I’ll go if you go
To the land of the unknown

We’re free now,
So reach out your hand
Breathe now, Free now, Understand
And maybe time’s a lie,
We synchronize our lives
And maybe every night’s
A chance to find ourselves
In the land of the unknown,
I’ll go if you go
To the land of the unknown!

That Place.

Where is that place?
Where everyone is.
Everyone I love, everyone I need.

There must be a place.
Where I can sing and dance and laugh.

Together, with everyone I love and everyone I need. At the same time, and on the same pace.

Is it possible....

In that Place?
