New work

What do you think ?

Oh the irony

It just makes me laugh

I never was your first choice

Just not on your path

After months together

Finally ready to trust

I gave you the three words

In my book a must

We were happy again

I was in bliss

Good just being with you

Every little kiss

Until the day you left me

Distance so ever sure

You wasn’t replying

The story evermore

It hurt so much

But it wasn’t new

My head cried for my heart

Not knowing what to do

After a year we stayed friends

We still met

Nothing happened

Certainly wouldn’t bet

Until one night

We went out and had a ball

Fuck it was crazy

It had it all

Alcohol, dancing, clubs at 40+

Then it was sure

A kiss and cuddle

I was gonna score

So we went to yours

Drunken mess sex

Just enjoying ourselves

It wasn’t my best

It was one off

I was gone the next day

A silly mistake

It was nice to play

A few days later

Lighting my phone

You wanted more

To come to my home

So one more time

It happened again

A nice escape

With a good friend

You checked with me

That i was good

You said “just sex”

And I said “yes”

No news for two months

Until I text

Come to catch up

Hoping for sex

So this time we meet

It was all good

But she wants more

Not just some wood

To be a couple

But not really

“I don’t know for how long”

“What do you think ?”

New work

Strongest pain is just numb

Anger builds

Pulse racing

Rejected again

Hurt within

Self doubt

Self hate

Noose tightening

Bitter tasting

Breath fading

Slowly wading

Questions pounding

Why why why

It never changes

Never fucking ever

Silence crushing

Company cutting

Glass piercing

Vein splitting

Crimson flowing

Bowl filling

Blood swimming

Obscene spewing

Nothing suprises me anymore

Strongest pain is just numb

New work

A relationship misunderstood

We met, the first time

Me a beer, you a wine

Date went well, decided to leave

In front of the bar, tongues would not leave

Romance was our passion, so much it overflowed

So intertwined the first dates, not wanting to ever go

Weeks passed, our passion, pure desire

Questions raised, dousing our fire

Could we ever be together? let’s see how it goes

See what the future holds, I think we all know

Never really knowing each other, at least how we should

Just how it ending, our relationship misunderstood

Secret

.

Can you keep a secret? 

Any secret will do

What is your secret

Is it about you?
I see it now, observing you

I can see in your eyes

You did that, my god

You keep it well disguised
I am not here to judge

I will not judge at all

I will not tell another soul

Trust me and stand tall
Does it ever eat away?

Eat away inside

Do you ever tell yourself

That you cannot tell a lie?
I am sure you had a reason

A reason for it

If you ever need to talk

Even just a bit
I am here to listen

Listen to you

Tell me your secret

I’ll keep your secret too

1. Rhyming poetry to change your day

Fate, or is it?

.

What do you think about fate?

What does it say to you?

Is it what’s meant to happen?

What life puts you through?
I ask myself the question

Then I say I’m gonna change it

Then I ask myself again

Has it changed or was it this?
I’m not happy in life

Was it meant to be?

It’s me who decides.

Am I sure? Am I free?
We are never really free in life

Choices to be made all the time

We are all just obedient cogs

Decided that we will tow the line

1. Rhyming poetry to change your day

Always one

Why is there always one ?

One who you cannot stand

Who gets underneath your skin

Eats away at you from within

You cannot lash out, it’s not correct!

Be the adult, it’s him the pest.

Resist resist, don’t bite you fool.

Be the bigger man, it’s all cool.

His arrogance and ego will get him.

He’ll do it all by himself.

But why is there always one?

Easy life never was any fun

New work

Forget me

I’ve thought about you

For as long as I can think

I cherish the most

How much we speak

.

All the little comments

Sparking my delight

Makes me want you even more

Not just to pass the night

.

You planted the seed

A long time ago

You nurtured the seedling

As you watched it grow

.

You would water it

As you would see fit

Not really protecting it

Just a little bit

.

When confessing my feelings

Hoping there was a chance

You would pull away

Not even a glance

.

That plant you had nurtured

Was being left to die

With words uttered forget me

It was all just a lie

New work

Without you there is no me

You said you would be here

Down by the water

As the sun rose

And we would be in each others arms

.

But you’re not here

As you promised

What’s going on?

Why did you lie?

.

I sit by the water

As if my tears had filled the lake

And all I can think

Is why did I make this mistake?

.

I trusted you

That you would be mine

I gave myself

I was your shrine

.

I left everything

And now I am here alone

I don’t even have a place

To call my home

.

Where are you?

Please find me

I can’t be by myself

Without you there is no me
