Happy Tears of Sadness

Happy to be leaving

Sad for not wanting to go

Goodbyes are full of pain

But so too is a hello

To be reuinted with my loved ones

A joy we all will share

The sorrow of a lover's final kiss

Hurts too much to be fair

Lingering farewells exchanged

So heavy remains my heart

Hovers in the atmosphere

As regretfully we part

Whenever will we meet again?

Could it be in a day or a year?

Our reunion a mystery unknown to us

As the certain time draws near

But someday in the future

We shall surely find each other

It will be just like the old times

Finding comfort in one another

Treasure our fondest memories

Keep in touch as much as we can

And someday, in the future near or distant

Our paths will cross again.

Prejudice.

People hurt for prejudice
Rage at the injustice
Effects of it obvious to the eye
Justice nowhere to be found.
Understanding of each other
Doesn't seem to be
In the lives of those excluded
Crying silently for
Everything they lost to racism.

Roses Are…

Roses are grey,
Violets are grey,
I'm colourblind
And I suck at poetry.

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue…

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Shut the hell up,
Or I will shoot you.

Silent Death

Strip me of my worth
until I am bare of all dignity
naked and bleeding
from unhealed scars,
exposing my shielded heart
to a storm of new pain.
Eating its way through a faith once lost,
washed away in winter's cold,
blinding and deafening silence,
enveloping and devouring all in its path
echoes,
slips away into eternal night
parting with its victim's corpse,
a broken, lifeless soul,
to exist forever in a daydream,
in a place of distant song.
Beyond the valley of empty questions,
above a lake of unshed tears,
where the fragment of her shattered heart,
the one she never noticed,
silently cries black tears,
wondering if he could have saved her.

No.

A three letter word that you might say
Could take my breath and my pain away
Could leave me floating on pure air
Hurt melting away alongside despair

We could dance and twirl up to the sun
Me and my love, my soul, the one
Drink in the beauty of your face
And bask in the tenderness of your embrace

Those were the silly dreams of mine
That truly stood the test of time
And only now have they been shattered
With everything that ever mattered

When people said you might say yes
I suppose it was nothing but a guess
Sometimes right but often wrong
I knew the truth of "no" all along...

Hitting The Fan.

One blade-
A single shard of
Broken heart escapes
the prison of my body.

Two blades-
Many hands make light work
Or so they say
Twice as many scars,
Twice as many tears,
Twice as much pain.

Three blades-
On high rotation, they're a death trap
Chilling and thought provoking
They see all, know all,
Can end all.

Ugly personality bled from the soul
Covering walls you lived between
Never truly to be removed.
A jump too high; forgetting to duck
A single mistake and you're gone.
A final breath; a single step and it all ends tonight…
