These transparent teardrops gently smack onto my table, As I am writing a letter to the first love of my fable, Praying for him to soon forgive me as much as he is able....

The Sound of Bell
From where this story start Is a sound of house bell, Perhaps,couldn't accept this part But it had to accept me,this tale. when two dreams met together All restlessness started to arise, Not know about clime and weather Not try to know what is wise. Maybe,that one sound made loud Not exist that day,never this get, But when look back something round Missing in it...

Premium Member God's Gifts
With God’s presence all around me, Yet His gift is missed. Unknown by many who surround, Their blindness fills my heart with sadness. For disbelief clouds what is clear, How could they fail to see? His omnipresence, bright and pure, Hidden in the shadow of doubt. His grace, a gift they...

I Know I Am Wrong
It’s shameful, the way I clutch. Like a child with a broken toy, believing if I just hug it tight enough, it’ll fix itself. I know people aren’t possessions. But tell that to the part of me that has only known love as something that gets taken just when I start to believe it’s mine. I rot with envy when he smiles at someone...

Opposites attract
They say They say opposites attract, I suppose they were right to think that especially for us. For i was naive and you wanted to deceive I was as pure as the driven snow And you were dark like the concept of a Jane Doe. Opposites attract. You secretly wanted to attack, I just wanted you to love me back. You...

Behind That Veiled Curtain
Just the curtains veil from your window Too dark only the omnipotent has great eyes Vaguely so do I can't see you clearly through Where soft comfort can't deny you simply lies. I know how lonely you are inside with so much rage Languishing in pain secretly others may not truly see No courage to gain help to rescue like a...

But It's All I Have
A day, once, when you were just a name. A name, once, and then it all changed. Changed, once, and never again. God, please— never again. I don't want to look back one day And think on these memories And realize that the pain has numbed Yes it hurts Yes— yes, it hurts And I don't want it to stop I don't want you to...

Blank White Pages
I never reached out for your hand— Fingers interlacing, hearts intertwining. My words blistered on my tongue, And I tucked the unanswered glances Back into silence, Like love letters never sent. What do I do with the love I couldn't give? I'll bleed it onto blank white pages, Ink running from my arteries. My stanzas will contain The glory of my memories, And my metaphors...

Handyman Can't compete with someone who... Is already waiting at your door. Already he is back with you... And you've moved on again once more. Heart breaking to believe that we... Had almost reached a place of trust. To only just the next day see... Once again there is no us. Handyman is at your door... And ready with his tools... I guess you need repaired...

Stuck separated together, part 4
Sometimes, she thinks about leaving, about walking out the door and never coming back. Maybe that would be easier, maybe it would hurt less than staying in a house full of silence, of unspoken words. But she doesn’t move. Neither of them does. They’re stuck, like two pieces of a puzzle that don’t fit together...

Stuck separated together, part 2
It was their choice to stay, wasn’t it? Neither of them said the words out loud, but somewhere along the way, they both agreed that living together in this hollow space was better than letting go, better than facing the emptiness outside of these walls. They stayed because the thought of walking away,...

Dreams Dissolve in darkness
In the dead of night, her prince reveals his true form, A wolf in sheep's clothing, his heart as cold as ice, She's trapped in a nightmare, no fairy godmother in sight, Her glass slippers shattered, her dreams left to freeze Her heart, once on her sleeve, now lies frozen and alone, Shattered like the glass that once adorned her...

Moonlight
I wonder what it would be like if I gave you a kiss under the moonlight. I wonder what it would be like if I gave you a peck under the starlight. Would you kiss me back with a love that burns as strong as mine? Would you hold me close Even after it's midnight? I wonder what it would be like if you...
