The Silence

Where does it all begin,
up until we end together I may spill a thousand dreams…
I’ve been given a broken ladder
but the courage was within,
I have shaped my words in pain and painted purple in the dark
saw you sparkling,
you left shadows in the chambers of my heart –
that sweet emotion,
always longing for those lights up in the mountain…

In the end we are alone
swimming in our ocean,
strangers –
nothing more than falling stars burning to exhaustion,
looking not for love but all there is to give
our passion for another…

Sonnet for a friend

What to scribble when there’s nothing left to say?
only scattered pointers, lines and colon breaks,
happy words I used before are turning meaningless
and the page is blank each time I do confess…

there is this growing fear engulfed in nothingness
wished I had a burning heart like the furnace in the sun
or a heart of clay to mold the passion through my days,
but I’m built from aching flesh and longings in a dream…

climbing on a ladder leading to no end
I must’ve lost the way for looking back I saw no other
only darkness dressing up the feelings I’ve held in
and I asked myself “Oh father where do I begin?
