I love you
in every
quiet #action,

like shadows
dancing
when the sun
isn’t watching.

You move
like a secret breeze,
weaving magic
into the mundane

And I notice,
always.

Always!

This was her first day back at the office after losing her child in the labour room — her maternity leave transformed into a period of bereavement.

The sky
isn't high enough

for the audacity
of my dreams

and
the world
shall behold

when
they become
#reality.

Focus!

Shut out
the noise

Take
deep breaths,

kill
the distractions

This is
your shot

It might be
the only one

The #goal
is in sight

Do not stray
from the path.

People die
everyday

Most times,
it happens
far away
from us

Numbers,
in a distant land

Statistics,
on a headline

But
some times
it hits home

Closer
than we hope,
or pray

Closer
than we fear,
or imagine.

The talking drum
must sing

till
no fable hides,
no #myth
goes unspoken

It calls
through time,
echoing memory
and meaning

No matter
the crowd
or court,
the drum must speak

until silence forgets
how to listen.

Your beauty
is not
to be hidden

or whispered
in quiet rooms

Your beauty
is to be
shouted
from every platform

Your beauty,
is not something
to be
measured
or quantified

Your beauty
is beyond
the scope
of my imagination.

People say, “You’re doing fine; these things take time,” but their voices sound like pity, and pity only deepens the silence I already live with.

Oh music,
my dear love

Your #language,
unique
on a paper.

Your sound,
the tunes
of pleasure.

Oh music,
my most
pleasing escape

Your rhythm,
the beats
in my heart

Your notes,
the solace
for my soul

What is the point
of the law
if it only
works against
the weak
and the poor?

What is the point
of the truth
when their lies
are more blatant
and beautiful?

What is the point
of #history
if the people
recording it
only tell
their stories?

Sometimes, being alone feels like standing in a room where silence has two faces; one that soothes me when life grows unbearable, and another that startles me when old memories rise from places I’ve tried to bury.

"That’s the fear that chews at me daily. Not that I’ll fall, but that I’ll stay here forever, watching the world keep moving without me."

Knock-Knock!
Who’s there?

Demons
crawling the stairs

Creatures
whispering your name.

Knock-Knock!

Do you dare?

The evil
you mocked
draws near

Your light
flickers

Your courage
bleeds

The floor
drinks your fear

For,
not all doors
lead to peace.

The terror
you whisper
is knocking tonight

#Halloween’s breath
at your door

The evil
you taunted
grins on your window

and
no deity
can save you now

So pray,
hide,
or
drown in fear

It matters not!

For,
I’ve come
to claim your soul

Oh,
what a feeling

To be kissed,
by the sun

To bask,
in its glow

on every day,
that it shines

Oh,
what a feeling!

To be touched
by its gentle rays

To sit,
and admire
its beauty

as it travels
across the sky.

She had
a red bunny
dangling
off her shoulder

Its eyes still,
locked on me
as she walked away

Her #argent dress
floated in the wind

Light,
as her steps

Sure,
as her silence

She never
looked back

but somehow,
the bunny did

The test
of a good road
is rainfall

steady,
relentless.

So baby,
#experiment on me

Push me
to the edge,
to the very limits
of my devotion

Come rain,
come storm,
and see

if I don’t bloom
in the puddles
of our love.

The night
are scary, 
full of #terror

Monsters;
waiting, 
for my eyes
to shut

But,
tonight,
you are here
with me

And,
I feel it
in my heart

as you
pull me close;
hold me tight

The monsters
may come

But,
with you
by my side
 
my worries, 
are no more

There is something
sinister
lurking
beneath the cowl

an #unseen creature
roaming the night

A whispered evil
with a name
known only
to a few

So,
come closer,
fulfil
your curiosities.

Take a peek inside
and witness
the iniquity
that brightens
in the dark.

I’ve lost my way
to your heart

The spark,
the #energy
that made you smile.

But
I can't lose you

Please,
tell me the words;

the beasts
to slay,

the joy
to summon

so I can taste
your lips again

and
find home
in your laughter.

The water
chilled her
to her bones,
shivering
the very pillars
of her soul

The water
filled her
to her limits,
replacing
every inch
of air

The water
buried her
to its depths,
sinking
every single
#atom

The water
settled her
at its shores,
washing away
any sign
of life

I see you
everywhere I turn

hovering over my guilt
like judgement in a robe.

Even in sleep,
your silence haunts me

your absence,
loud

If
there’s still room
for forgiveness

Then,
please
let me rewrite
the pain I etched
into your memory.

In dainty homes
or towering mansions

In noisy parlours
or silent libraries

In deep oceans
or #arid lands

In the wealthy
and the worn

In youth,
the unborn,
and the grey

In the mad,
the mundane,
and the dreamers,

Tragedy
skips no soul

Death comes,
for all
