Desolate,
Empty, and
Barren

Was how I felt, even when I was with you.

Right beside you, and yet 
Light years away.

Never on the same page. 
Because, sadly, I finally see....

I haven't eaten in days.
Ad days have eaten me away.
But I guess this is okay;
For life doesn't need me anyways.

Some people say 'blood is thicker than water,'
and maybe that's true;
But you don't have to be anything like your mother and father--
you choose your own fate, not your parents, but you...

We burn out in day;
But shine through night.
We are fireflies;
We have our fireflyte.

We act as stars to those who wish.
And lights to those who read.
We are fireflies.
This is why we flourish.

The Gift within... A seed planted by a word of Faith watered in love

Increased through trials Valleys and Mountain"s. we grow in life's challenges

When in doubt ,a sweet voice whispered to encourage ..the Gift within
Was God's seed and that seed shall prosper

Soft linen on a bed with a scattered bit of lace
Outside the window sings a hummingbird in full view
Colors in bloom
The way she combed her hair & delicate skin

Forgot day, month, six
The rainy season was rainy day
Windy night winds,
Sometimes the thunderstorm sometimes
Again and again in my chest
The girl had hidden her head.

Today is my birthday, today is my day,
but I'm spending it in my room, wasting away;
'Cause nobody's home, everyone's gone,
someone to spend my birthday with? There is none.

I drew a knife to my throat today,
wondering what people would say
if I took my life without even a second thought,
if I just disappeared, without even leaving a suicide note.

With a crimson face an akin brother,
    Toiling for eternity with gold
Sheen breaking a repose calling stern labour;

A stark burly bulk-

Of obese chasing upper halve.

Sweet is the word like a juicy peach-
Devour`d with sodden labials
    Though children at a crèche;
    Entrapped in a sweet surrender:
    A golden girl stare at me with intrigue
    A goggle look I shied I cannot bear.
