This Day

Don't know what this day will bring
Will it be pure or pure evil
Will it be laughter or tears
Will it be birth or an end
Will it be pain or pleasure
Will it be hunger or hatred
Will it be a debt or a possibility
Don't know what this day will bring
But I shall live it through to watch it ufold

Broken Promises

You were ten and I was one

You saw me as your own

You taught me how to laugh 

Loved me though I was half 

You fed me and starved 

In my heart love you carved

Taught me how to ride a bike

And pretty my hair girl like

Time passed seasons changed

My love for you remained unchanged

You still let me win every fight

You still call me your light 

One day I saw the love change 

Every word you spoke felt strange 

I saw you becoming a stranger

Together you and the strange her

You didn't ease my pain

I pleaded with you in vain

I cried my heart out for you 

And what did you do

You left me in the dark alone

Why did you wish me gone

You started building a wall

You didn't care I was naive and small

You broke every promise with a lie

O brother why did you let me die

Unknown

Faces in the dark
Shadows in the park
Whispers in the wood
The silent neighborhood
The Eerie hallways
The closed doorways
Soothsayer with the bird
Woman with a curse word
The night sky with a tale
The half complete trail
The soulless body
The nameless somebody
Some prayers answered
Life going backwards
Birth, death and knots
Tears, laughs and what not
Some mystifies, some scares
Some unheard, some unseen
But most remain unknown.

How do some people whom we have known since birth and loved above all become strangers one day...

Red it is

Fire

They touched, they mocked

They undressed me with their thoughts

They shamed me with their words

They bled me with their actions

They stole my right to say no

They were brothers, sons,

 Husbands and fathers

They spared no sisters, daughters

 Wives nor mothers

They rose amongst family and friends

They stood undaunted while daunting

They laughed while tears ran down my face

They called me names that I didn’t deserve

They blamed my clothing and my body

They stood watching the show

Wolf-whistling, cat calling and taunting

They saw me get up and burn

They saw I was alive and burning bright

They saw my flames catching up to them

They saw I am the fire that burns brighter

They burnt slowly turning into ash in a pyre

They now know not to mess with the fire

Heal

The Gods have descended from the skies,

I see them smile in your burning blue eyes.

Heaven’s pouring as flowers bloom by,

The rivers are breathing again, so am I.

I was left devastated, hopeless and bitter,

Then you came and I stood up feeling better.

You became my answer to endless tears,

After they broke apart what was never theirs.

Every day through your love and laughter, I feel

As my faith is restored, my heart repaired, I heal.

The moon to my lily, the flesh to my soul,

Completing the circle of my life to whole.

Each breath a sign of my belief and a revelation,

You a sparkling star, dropped from the constellation.

Into my womb and onto my lap you were born,

By all that’s divine, I promise no longer to mourn,

But to cherish you every day and every hour,

For I am the earth to your roots, my little flower.
