Chaotic Soul of a Poet

White Umbrella Poem

2017-01-03T01:02:00.001-08:00

We met at a park bench

The wind had started blowing

Filling up my nostrils with cool currents

I could feel it caressing my cheeks

Making the hairs at the back of my neck

To stand like they were ready for battle

The park was slowly being abandoned

Leaves of autumn slithering away

Clearing the cabro pavement

The songs of the birds had stopped

Evening was approaching

The sun had already settled snugly

Into its home to await the next day

I could see the clear signs of dusk

Calmness slowly engulfing the earth

Except for the pitter patter of feet

As they all hurried away to their homes

Nothing else seemed to be moving

The park bench was cold

As if to tell me that I needed to leave

I slid my hands across it

To push away the remnants of the leaves that had fallen on it

It all seemed lonely and almost lost

Until I saw you coming from a distance

The silhouette of your masculinity

Caught my breath in a moment of bliss

Suddenly I felt the pelt of rain drops

Eyes gazing back at you

I did not feel it begin to pour

In slow motion you stood right there before me

I could almost touch you

White umbrella in your hand

Smile melting my cold being

The other hand reached out to take my hand

The moment ceased to move

As everything stood still

Sheltered underneath your white umbrella

I could feel that I was no longer alone

Night brought in heavy pours

It also brought you to me

Happy New Year My Love Poem

2017-01-03T00:53:00.001-08:00

I have seen another year with you

It has been a wonderful 365 days with you

spending time in your arms kept me sane

leaning into your chest gave me breathe

Listening to your voice rendered me peaceful

Holding onto the dreams of us

Gave me the courage to love even more

You have been my anchor

The reason my smile never faded

Last year you stayed with me

I laughed

I cried

I regretted

I lost faith

Sometimes

Yet you held my hand without question

I ask nothing of you

But that you love me unconditionally

Hold tight the dreams I have

Create a perfect memory with me

Sing our love song to the air

Let the birds know we are in love

Let the rain shower our kiss

Give the sun reason to shine brighter

Engage the moon in reason for loving me

I have you now

I will not let go of us

Happy New Year my love

To more seasons

Living under the other's gaze

Eternally blissful

Ever present in each other's arms

You are my only one

And so shall be for the next 365 days

The Only Memories I Have Poem

2017-01-03T00:36:00.002-08:00

The messages on my phone

Are the only memories of you I have

Travelled on the road alone

In tumulus times on windy days

The way you called my name still lingers on me

Because only you could raise

The very veins that carry my blood to the heart

I miss holding you close

Dancing to our classic love songs

On the radio

I want to drown in your masculinity

Drown again in the love that you make

Feel the tender and soft touches

Of your lips on mine

Feel you breathe next to my chest

I love the feel of your feet

Intertwined with my toes on the soft grass

I await dusk as our intimate dance begins

To move our mortal bodies

Dawn becomes an enemy because you leave my arms cold

Even when you are gone

The scent of your skin still brushes over mine

In a sultry mood

I toss and turn in my bed at dawn

Then there I see it

Your yellow umbrella leaning against the wall

My eyes frozen trying to look away

Yet I cannot muster the strength

A reminder of what

Our life used to be

The alarm rings loudly

I find myself throwing away your yellow umbrella

Maybe then I can be able to move on

Dim Not The Lights Poem

2017-01-01T01:50:00.002-08:00

Journey of a solitary man

I seem to be walking alone on this journey

Yet people surround me every day

Like slow motions in ocean currents

I see my life slowly unveil

A journey I have sometimes failed its test

Only comforted that I am only human

Yet a reward for living

Is breathing freely this city air I know

Mastered my craft

Have I really? Can I say I am here?

Living, Breathing, Loving, Hating, Forgiving

Leaders have been made before me

Others still knock at dreamless doors

To tell my story would be a fallacy

Lie brewed in unchartered emotions

I am a man

Should I not have cried?

Should depression have been suppressed?

Swallowing memories

Does not make them non existent

Every raw feeling re-lives in me

“Wake up baby, we need to leave”

Mama’s arms shook me from my sleep

Confused still dreaming I scrambled after her

I knew we had to leave

I understood it, yet I couldn’t comprehend

It had to be my father, he caused all this

Should I have been angry?

Should I have confronted him?

I was too young, maybe not young enough

I knew we had to leave

He made mum cry, he hurt her

Mama even found a dagger

That threatened to end her life

In the arms of that man, that man I once called dad

I am a man

Should I not have feared?

Should I not have followed mum

And stayed with father instead

I understand not

Why I needed to choose

My birth

I imagine it to have been spectacular

“It’s a boy!” the nurse must have announced

Mama must have smiled down at me

With so much hope and pride

Am I the man you bore?

Am I the son of your bosom?

Have I given you pride

I am a man now mother

I seem to be sinking in a desolate place

Were they dreams in my head?

“Arrest that woman!” haunting words

How, had fate weaved its cruel web

My family torn into shreds again

Mama accused of stealing

This could not be real

Wake up Jeff, wake up from this nightmare

Voices never disappeared

Police were real, hand cuffs on her hands real

Prison cell real, all too real for my soul to cement together

I was just a boy

Men in blue a reality I hate

Pained talking to mama through bars

I needed her to hold me still; this boy was not yet a man

I needed a mother’s comfort

World took that away from me too forced to grow too fast

Think, decide, and know more than my young mind needed to

Years on cell bars still separate us

He was a stranger

Yet cared so much for me in an orphanage

Growing into myself I had to survive

Food, shelter, education, love

Life’s basics taken for granted

I wake up in cold sweat screaming

Only a recurring dream

“Noooooo!” mama screaming her hands lifted

Father’s drank again

Yelling, angrily with threats

“This knife will end you today” so much anger in his voice

Why did he drink so much?

He was the police, supposed to protect

Not hurt

Why can’t I stop drowning yet?

I hate sleep, I hate dream in my sleep

This boy is now a man

Stranger’s kindness has limits

A grown man needs his on hustle

Life in a small town getting crowded

I need to break free and find sense

In a maddening world I should find purpose

Clothes on my back, resolve to break a sweat

Dive into uncertain bottomless holes

Until I can come up for air

“Hey we need a new cast member” that stranger told me

Was this the beginning I needed?

Was life deciding to embrace me again?

Is this the sojourner’s journey

I know I am a man

My faithfulness is all I have

My memories are what ground me

Keeps me alive long enough

Long enough to breathe again

Breath again new dreams

I seem to be walking alone in this journey

Yet I know her hand is still in mine

Life made me, should I make it my own?

Pains sometimes broke me

Disappointments might have crippled me

Yet a beating heart kept me still

My sanity has not left me

This land that I try to conquer

I know I am in my element

My craft comes to me naturally

I belong in the bosom of these lights

Walk with me now

Let my shadow speak my story

My growing beard, show you a man I have become

He said She said

Tales I choose not to spin

My heart reverberates Sound of a beautiful future

Built from a darkened past

Create a music that molds me

This journey I no longer walk alone

Dim not these lights

For I am being reborn into myself

Autumn Leaves are Falling Poem

2016-12-27T00:50:00.001-08:00

It is already December

I have memories of our times together

You have been on my mind

My thoughts have wondered around our time

lingering on sunny days

Moonless nights to behold

Sandy shores of laughter

I have known happiness

I have felt gladness

In your arms

Autumn leaves are falling

I catch a glimpse of your laughter

On this photograph of us

I smile knowing you think of me

Distant miles begin now

Yet you are so near my heart

Life's moments are fleeting

I want to hold on to them for eternity

I know you love my heart

As my heart loves yours

When the Autumn leaves begin to fall

When they stop falling

I know we will find each other

In arms that patiently waited

Umbrella For My Tears Poem

2016-12-19T23:30:00.001-08:00

I’m at that point in my life

Where I don’t want to exist anymore

It seems my life is never getting better

I feel like I am in this existence

Of a black hole with no end in sight

I don’t think I want to be here right now

I want life to get better not be this worse

I am wasting away and I need to get out

It’s not that I don’t care what happened

I just lost passion for life

Everything I loved doing I lost the energy for it

Honestly these days

I don’t have the will to fight

I have given up

On everything

Because it never seems to matter

Whether I do something right o or not

I am spaced out and I feel nothing

I hate being scolded like a little child

I am tired of feeling guilty all the time

My chest is tired

I am exhausted by it all

I need to move on,

Get a job and move into my own house

I need to start over my life

I need to feel like I am living again

I want my life to make sense again

I need to believe there is something worth it in my life

That I matter not to somebody else but to me

I need to love me again

Have faith in myself, God and life

I am broken beaten and defeated by it all

I am tired of fighting

Trying for perfection that never comes

I need someone

To give me an umbrella for my tears

A handkerchief is not enough

For the floods that are coming

Umbrella for April Showers Poem

2016-12-19T23:28:00.000-08:00

I can feel the first scent

Of April showers

Touching the earth

Emitting a warm fragrance

The yummy smell of wet soil

Makes me crave having you close to me

I step outside and look up towards the clouds

A drop of rain falls at the tip of my nose

I stick my tongue out

To taste the fresh rain straight from the clouds

Droplets start pouring faster

I can feel my bare arms getting wet rain dripping down my face

Trailing the hollow of my neck

Slithering down to my back

It is such a good feeling I stay longer

The pitter patter of rain on the ground

Feels like music to my wet ears

As the rain keeps coming down

I turn around in circles

Arms outstretched

Eyes closed, head facing up

I then begin to dance in the rain

My umbrella for April showers

Is dry by the doorpost

Today I do not need its shade

I want to be rained on

I love being rained on

Because it gives me the feeling

Of embracing you tightly

There has never been a more magical feeling

Like rain washing away

Every fear, tear, hurt, pain, regrets

The purest form of therapy

The most magnificent experience

Only compared to your kiss

Secrets Of An Umbrella Poem

2016-12-19T23:12:00.000-08:00

I have been your secret love

Sharing stolen kisses with you

Moments that I kept private

Loving all the moments together

The adventure too mind blowing

I wanted to tell the whole world

Scream at the top of my lungs

Embrace you whenever I wanted

I knew you were not free to love

I wanted to believe you were mine

Yet my heart knew I could not

Your secret love burned my soul

Meeting you in secret

How can I love you freely

I should have known it would not last

As my heart keeps breaking

Each time I see you with another

I know you were not my true love

Hearts beating yet not together

Looking into your eyes

Yet not feeling part of your life

I knew when you looked through me

You saw another

I wanted to be brave for us

Every hour spent with you

Hurt even more that when we were apart

I died every time you left

Knowing I would have to wait a lifetime

Before I could feel your arms around me

Oh, the secrets that this umbrella could tell

What we had needs to be broken

It will pain like burning fire

Yet I know I cannot be your secret love

My Dad's Umbrella Poem

2016-12-05T08:14:00.000-08:00

You call me your little princess

The girl who makes your heart race

The only person who make you smile

You protect me like a chicken does its chicks

I have been a part of your life

You have been the best part of me

I feel safe holding your hand

Looking up to you I only see strength

Carrying me on your shoulder

I can see the whole world that

That you say can be mine for the taking

Today everyone celebrates you

I have picture perfect memories of you

I am all grown up now

Yet I still want you to call me me your little girl

For the wisdom you taught me

For the unconditional love you showed me

For the beautiful presents you gave me

I am grateful and overwhelmed

Your love taught me to be trust

Your protection gave me confidence

I will still run to you when the world hurts

Your arms I will still lean into

My dad’s umbrella sheltered me from the rain

Sometimes even the harsh sun

Childhood memories are written all over the umbrella

You told me big girls never cry

I listened and wiped away the tears

I celebrate you today

I will celebrate you for the rest of my life

You are like a blanket

I never want to let go of

Your strong chest is my strong pillar that keeps me together

Happy father’s day dad

Grey Umbrella Poem

2016-12-05T00:35:00.001-08:00

I sleep with a broken heart

Because I have been a fool at love

I stumbled upon an old torn grey umbrella

Out of it feel a crumpled up note

A love letter I discovered it was

All the words I had heard you say

All the whispered poems in my ears

The love notes you shared with mw

Were all written in that piece of paper

You said you had never loved another

The way you loved that year

The note bared your name

Full of all the beautiful words

That gave me Goosebumps

The words that I lived for each day

The words that said you needed me

Words that proclaimed your love

Words that made me remember

All the times my heart fluttered

Excitement filled my heart

My eyes slid to the bottom of the letter

Suddenly I could hear water drop

Inside the kitchen sink

Everything started spinning

As my fingers trembled

Lips tightening in anger, desperation, sadness

My heart was on the floor

I wanted to reap every page of the memories I had of you

The last three months together I wanted to burn

Blinking away the tears I looked again

The last words on the letter were

“I love you very much dear wife”

Brown Umbrella Poem

2016-12-05T00:28:00.000-08:00

I am tired of living in a memory

A memory that haunts me to the core

You left my heart with sorrow

Now I am scared of the world

I never want to feel again because of you

Love has become a foreign language

Every beat in my heart aches

Colours do not make sense anymore

I have been afraid to fall again

Doubts have filled every part of me

I am no longer brave

A thousand days I cannot erase

Living in this bubble of memories

I now ask why I did love

Why I let you crawl into my heart

Why I allowed you to cheat my emotions

Why is it I let you damage my hope

Answers do not seem to appear

All I did was wait for you

All you did was create only sadness

I seek to run away from this

I have surrendered all I had

Nothing is left except sleepless nights

Sweet dreams have become haunting nightmares

Are these the only dreams I will have?

Our friendship ended in love

Now love has ended in enmity

The only thing left in my life

Is the presence of the perfume

On this brown umbrella sitting next to me

Hearts did collide

Emotions intertwined together

These obstacles I have to let go

Deep inside I know I will be okay

Perfection of Barefeet Poem

2015-05-18T12:33:00.001-07:00

When the music fades

Grass turns brown

Dew refuses to fall

Turbines grind away dust

Dawn intermingles with dusk

Black opera sounds at the touch of violins

Maestros dance

Dinner shaved into tumulus creations

Dotted laughter cakes of clay arms folded charging bulls

Dust rising from a forgotten graveyard airs up the tunnel

Must be the heartbeat of a lion

Poetic justice amidst courts of insolence

Specks of snow drops in an Arabian dessert

Sand dunes whistle comfort

A fair damsel caught in an 18^th century war

Wolfs howling at a darkened moon

Songs of Solomon beat at a cave

Serenity dead yet not gone

Bare feet on wet earth

The perfection of it all

Getting Lost In a Trembling Heart Poem

2015-05-18T12:19:00.000-07:00

I want to get lost in everything

Get lost in you

Let you get lost in me

I want to feel so many things with you

Disappear into the bliss of life

Bury yourself in me and let the world disappear

Pains left at the feet of Angels

Heal yourself in my heart

Drench away bad memories

Let me touch your bleeding heart

Allow my bosom to be your pillow

Where nightmares are not known only a sea of comfort

Ecstasy and silent trembles of a cold heart

Bells Shadowed by Battles Poem

2015-05-18T12:17:00.001-07:00

It’s a full moon outside

Heaven has opened up and shone silver lights

Twinkling starts scatter the black night

Sky smooth sensations of a lucky touch

I hear bells chiming

Resonating a beautiful music of the heart

Tears are to be gone

Worries swallowed by love’s shadows

Cool breezes touch a skin hot with regrets

Parasites try a battle lost

Pain will cease

Happiness will come again

Retribution in The Night Sky Poem

2015-05-18T12:15:00.000-07:00

I have seen the sky black as coal

Smelled sweet jasmine flowers

Never has the sky seemed blacker

Or Jasmine flowers smelled heavenly

Like the first day of a new year with you in mind

Silent vows made to never trust bricks

Laid to hide the heart or tears sworn to be the last have been scattered

Melodies begin to sound warmer

Love songs now make sense

Every heat of the afternoon sun feels like magic

A confession to sin seeks forgiveness

Just like a starved soul seeks retribution

New year new honor

Faith in a heart grants me Grace

Purple vines fight with thorns

Sweetest revenge of a heart is giving in

I have given in

Song of The Midnight Poem

2015-05-18T12:12:00.001-07:00

A desert song I heard

From your pounding heart beats a rhythm of prose words

That lends meaning to a lonesome world

I have been shattered

Yet you picked the million pieces

A thirsty soul

You quenched with your understanding of who I am

Who I was becomes irrelevant on this journey

Ending tonight

I begin a new chapter a story rewritten in the hands of destiny

Fate brought you to me

A fervent light, illuminating dark corners

A creation of new emotions

True feelings

Midnight beckons

The choir sings a music

A song of you and me meeting for the first time

Though we have met before

In our subconscious

Always And Forever Poem

2015-01-03T23:00:00.000-08:00

Looking down at me

As I look up into your eyes

Causes the earth to shift beneath me

And the moon to seem much brighter than usual

You are the very air that I breathe

The rose that oozes sweet erotic perfume

The stubble on your chin

Intimidates the lonesome feelings that threaten to explode

You give me the best of you

I try to give you the best of me I can

Given this moment that I want to last forever

Always needing you near me

So I feel your love is eternal and created for only me

Being near your lips

Is the safest place I always long to be without a doubt

I want only and all of your pleasure

Because I know I am yours forever

Loosing myself absolutely in you

Binds me to you completely heart body and soul

A Heart Not Mine Poem

2015-01-03T22:57:00.000-08:00

I watched you love another as my heart broke into millions of pieces

I wanted to touch you yet I knew you were not mine

All I could think of was your fingertips in mine

Your kiss I desired so much to the point of insanity

Waiting as if watching a plant germinate and grow from the soil

I knew you could never be mine

Your heart belonged to someone else…her

All the feelings that kept coming to the surface

I tried to hide and laugh with you

Knowing I loved you so much that every part of me hurt

Just thinking that you could never be mine

I knew you only loved her

Your world revolved around her like a magnet

Every dream you had was meant for her and you together

Smiling when you waved back

Trying to push the tears away from my eyes

I knew I had no right to cry over you in any way

Yet it felt like I needed to cry you out of my life for good

Just so I can move on with my life without you

Because you had a heart that was not mine

Moments I dream of I know I have to let go of

If life is to forgive me for wishing you to be only mine

When I know you are hers

And she yours

After Dark Then Comes You Poem

2015-01-03T22:54:00.001-08:00

I feared the dark when you were away and not with me

The silence deafened my loneliness causing it to be great

I held myself so as to chase away the cold I was feeling

Impatience taught me nothing about waiting for you

Feelings of loss and grief haunted me

Creating a vacuum I could not run away from

My love endures the night knowing you will be back

Because after the dark then comes you

Nighttime feels longer than necessary

As it drags without any mercy knowing my heart waits

Each beating of the heart resounds in my ears

I know I will see you again soon

Yet it feel like forever and you have not yet come to me

This particular night is longer than any other

When I was alone nighttime never seemed this long or deathly

I stare longingly at the mirror

Hoping that it will give me an answer to these lost feelings

Or even reflect back your face that I wait to see

Such longing causes me to be fidgety and restless

Pacing up and down this room wanting to explode

When will this night end so I can be back in your arms and never to leave?

Speak to me your whispered voices of my beloved

I need to hear you close even if I cannot touch you

Stay Until I Wake Up Poem

2014-09-12T07:25:00.001-07:00

I fear waking up without your scent next to me

Sleeping in your beautiful arms gives me a sense of confidence

I do not have any nightmares at when darkness comes at night

Whenever you stay until I wake up

Opening my eyes and seeing your smile

Makes my heart beat so fast only your kiss can slow it down

Your face is what I long to see

Whenever I hear the birds sing that it is morning already

Stay until I wake up

So I can tell you of the dream I had of you and me

Forever you remain part of my subconscious mind

My soul knows nobody else but yours that is so close

When I awake and trace the contours of your face

I truly understand how it is to love and be loved back

All the flavors and spices of life

Waft through my nose knowing you enjoy laying by my side

Morning comes and I do not want you to leave yet

A full day passes by then

Night comes and with it the coldness that makes me shiver

But when you stay until I fall asleep I feel none of it

It is all I sincerely ask

That when I awake it is you I see, touch, embrace and kiss first

Curling around you makes me content

Having you there promises a good night’s sleep

And a better morning with you when I wake up

A Frighteningly Beautiful Kiss Poem

2014-09-12T07:20:00.001-07:00

You and I are one

I don’t know how to cut away from this kiss

This kiss that is more pure than anything I have known

A kiss filled with intense flavors too strong for me to hold

I do not understand how and why

My whole body still wants more

More of this exhilarating yet frighteningly beautiful kiss

I am afraid to stop for air

Because I do not want to miss a moment

Of this earth defying kiss

I feel every tremble of your chest

Every pause of your lips on my own

Causing a thirst I do not want satiated by anyone else

Beauty, splendor, or magnificence do not even describe

This kiss from your lips

I have loved every minute spent closer to your heart

A frighteningly beautiful kiss from you

Is what I have known

And wish to never miss for the rest of my life

Because it is the breath that makes me who I am

Creating moments that do not want to end

This kiss dissolves all other doubts I might have had about us

Your hold on me has remained permanent

With each kiss that we share when together

A Collision of The Hearts Poem

2014-08-22T10:06:00.000-07:00

Our hearts did a collision

When our lips touched the core of our very existence

Every aroma of the senses evolving

Into something greater than we have ever known

Your absence has almost been the death of me

Till now

When I feel your arms around me once again

Sipping this cup of a warm substance

I imagine being with you incessantly

As forever is what we choose it to be

At the very least love me now

Tomorrow knows no certainty

Your brokenness gives me strength

As your masculinity weakens my emotions

Learning to love without regret

Has been my journey with you thus far

Whistles of the night calm my loneliness

As the kiss of your soul serenades me

I dance at the melody of your dear heart

Each music reminds me of us when happiness was all we knew

Once our hearts did a collision

The world stopped moving and listened to our adoration

Of the other

Every breath we took tasted like cold ice down thirsty lips

It sounded like the sweet patter of early spring rain

Whistles resounded in the distance announcing our love

The collision of hearts caused tremendous emotions

To be calmed, obsessed over and quenched from flaming

Ours is a love story of the centuries

Nakupenda Pia Kiswahili Poem

2014-08-13T12:10:00.001-07:00

Maisha hayawezi kunitoa kwa moyo wako

Jana usiku ilikuwa mwisho wa huzuni

Uliniweka katika hali ya kucheka na kutulia kwa roho yako

Mapenzi unayonipa yanifanya nipepee

Kama yule kipepeo mweupe tuliyemuona nje ya nyumba

Sitarudi nyuma wala kuwa na wasiwasi wowote

Kule tunapoenda ni muhimu kuliko tuliko toka

Mabali tujafika lakini mimi na wewe

Hakuna lolote laweza kutushinda

Nimekubali kuwa wako milele

Mvua ikinyesha wale ukame uwe ni mimi na wewe tuu

Busu la asubuhi huniamsha kutoka usingizini

Nikifungua macho nikuone kando yangu

Najua niko na pendo lako

Hakuna mtu aweza kutupatanisha duniani

Asali ni tamu lakini sio kuliko mahabu uliyo nipa

Ukiuliza nitakueleza

Nakupenda pia

Nalia machozi ya furaha kwani najua wanipenda sana

Wewe ndiwe nimechagua kuishi naye hadi mwisho wa dunia

Nyimbo za mapenzi zimeimbwa ma wana muziki

Hakuna yule anaweza kueleza mapenzi haya yetu

Nakupenda bila woga wowote

Najua wanipenda pia

Stay Until I Fall Asleep Poem

2014-08-12T04:36:00.001-07:00

I am afraid to fall asleep without you holding me in your arms

For I don’t want to have a dreamless night

Knowing you have left my side when dusk settles in

Or feel the cold that hovers at night in your absence

I don’t want to know a sorrowful night

So you must stay until I fall asleep

I am used to your scent next to me when I go to bed

It is a comforting aroma that puts me in a peaceful trance

You are a bouquet of comfort

That I need beside me before sleep takes over my consciousness

Being together with you gives me contentment

It was all enough that my pillow was your reassuring chest

You have to stay until I fall asleep

When dawn comes and you are not there with me

Anxiety starts to build and I panic that I am alone

My senses begin to wander into a dread I wish not to have

Surviving the night without you is not an option I want

Twilight brings with it its own sense of loneliness

With you I look forward to that nightfall that becomes serene

Because I am restful in your unquenchable masculinity

Stay until I fall asleep

Because

That is the only way I know how to fall asleep without worry

Burberry Umbrella Wish Poem

2014-08-11T08:59:00.002-07:00

A broken hearted girl

Sits on a cold hard bench

Watching as life slowly ebbs out of her

Waiting in fear of loneliness

The wind beating on her l innocence

Shivering and wishing for warmth

Her world had just crumbled down

Everything she knew to be true

Shattered into millions of pieces

She had loved with everything

Knowing life would give back

Eyes were now puffed from crying

The dark circles under her eyes

The only beauty that remained

The swollen red cheeks

Retold a story of harsh betrayal

Her quivering lips

Sang like a sad old love song

Forgotten in the attic of memories long gone

Ups and downs of life

She knew them all

A Burberry umbrella wish

Was what had remained in her heart

A heart that struggled to breath

A soul that creaked of deep pains

The dc couple with the Burberry umbrella

Oozed happiness she longed for

If only for a second

The autumn leaves blew past

Some clinging to her bare feet

She knew there was room for a smile
