Our love is a beautiful war.

Love, 

m.

Love looked like a prison to me as a child

There was food and shelter but not much else

Love, 

m.

He needs her

She is the water for his scorched tongue

But, he speaks a language of love that is foreign to her

Love, 

m.

I stopped trusting because of you

I need action not words

Saying all the right things means nothing

when you've done me wrong

Am I paranoid or am I just getting older

Love,

m.

I want to find heaven with you.

Love,

m.

The Wonder

All around me,

connected circles permeate my body, mind and soul  

It starts with the eyes and ends at the fingertips

Searching for harmony like constellations

Revealed when a song crescendos on the radio at your entrance

The phone rings upon envisioning you fondly  

and lights flicker if having callous thoughts

The caveat of hearing a car horn in the distance to signal another miserable mood

A gust of wind that triggers pages to turn and stop on a verse describing my worthiness

Hearing a stranger happen to say your name when trying to forget it

The anomaly of love needs its patterns

Even If

He looks for kisses whenever we meet

They taste sweeter than English Cadbury chocolate

If I do not kiss him, he pouts

And it pleasures me to tease him

I busy my mouth with a smoke

and he tells me that he is jealous of my cigarette

But I am addicted to these and attracted to you 

Can you not wait for my affection

Or do you crave me 

Are you willing to surrender, even if there is pain

because I only want to heal with you

He wanted a lover for sex

She wanted a lover for love.....

Love,

m.

Mirrors

Fire my soul

Put sugar on my burnt tongue

I want your attention like a cool breeze in July

Beauty hurts for an ageing woman

Love me as much as you hate me so we can both be numb

You have carried me over broken glass

Glass that you broke because it caught your true reflection

Will our history, lead to a future

Like Mother, Like Daughter

For a daughter,

a mother's love must be soft

Tenderly, let your daughter know that you believe in her

and will trust her

From then on she'll have confidence to tame the wind

while being as free as the waves in the ocean

Tell her to never sacrifice her dreams only her nightmares

And if she ends up with someone like her father

make sure you are the woman you want her to become
