Why do I love thee?

I love thee because you're short and sweet.

I love thee because the end is near.

I love thee because I can't finish writing my book.

I love thee because you can be a lyric to a song.

That's why I love writing poems.

Neath the love
Neath the lies
Lays the soul
that bids goodbye.

Neath the tears
Neath the fears
the abundant laughter
waiting to explode.

Neath the clouds
Neath the skies
The sun
waiting to shine.

Neath the hate 
Neath the curse
The smile unhinge
the heart survives.

Thank you for the heartbreak.
For enriching my world
With tears and sadness.
For the pieces that I've picked and pasted.

Thank you for the heartache.
That enriches my soul.
The endless flow of clouds
On my endless rainy days.

Thank you for the weakness
Thank you for the strength
The love that tasted bitter
The love that was never there.

Thank you for the darkness.
Where I found the light
Thank you for the friendship
Thank you for the lies.


Thank you for the goodbyes
Thank you for the hellos
Thank you for showing me where my heart is
And thank you for breaking it to pieces.

I wanted to say hi.
But words fell on the sideways.
searching for that familiar tune,
Humming in my memory.

Time turned, time ticked
Filling the empty spaces.
Neath the mangled words,
my empty days.

I wanted to say hello.
And wanted to ask why.
But words fell on the sideways,
All the hurt I now hide.

be still 07/09/09

keep still my heart, please learn it
learn to let go, to bid it
to calm down
not to panic
when it's time to let go
time to farewell.


keep still my heart, stop aching
a day will come when you'll be healing
learn to let go, learn to farewell
as you know, the heart that just went
loves you as well, and he said forever


keep still my heart, please learn it
don't be obstinate
you can say it
you will learn to heal, i know it


keep still my heart, please say it
let go. learn it.
say goodbye now.
its not forever.
