LOVE

It takes time to love youself,

but I promise you,

it’s worth the trouble

SURVIVE

Vociferous times bring out the artist in us:

for creativity is our weapon against the penury of our lives;

so write for the chaotic thoughts,

splatter paint of the dread happening inside you

dance your way into the fray

for this is our way to

survive.

if

If pen and brush are to move in every direction,

there will be books that call for burning of books,

paintings that torture the artist; and

poems that kill the poet

WE WILL BE HAPPY

When will you step out of your cage

And I will get rid off my shackles

Our star will shine so bright

Boiling emotions will wait for eruption

An explosion

so strong that we will only see each other

the ocean will move

lands will crash

mountains will fall

then we will be happy.

I cannot fathom

how you gather such energy

to loathe as vehemently as you do.

I look around and I see a wounded world –

statues of angels

weeping in the wake

of tragic suffering

hearts weighed against the want

of worthless paper –

the currency of cruelty;

a selfish prayer for salvation.

the Earth is bleeding

and its ocean weep –

do you reall seek

to add to the darkness?

bitter girls; choking

on their own venom –

projecting her own insecurities

upon the innocent.

you only taint the air you breathe.

gray clouds for a black heart

and I pity you

crawling through

those shards of broken beauty –

the realms you ruined –

ruined with your own hands.

DREAM

If nostalgia is an illusion

and we weren’t as golden as we seem

and i think i’ll have to avoid life

and keep spinning along in our dream
