Success to you

God is love and when you find that one person, you've found God.

-

you're bliss
you're comfort
a tall tree
grazing the clouds
of my heart

you're laughter
you're love
a little yellow butterfly
flapping it's wings
over my head

you're joy
you're peace
a terror
that enthralls me
with wistful abandon

good morning
✨

-

Call upon my name
In a whisper
Like a prayer
Like a plea
Like a yearning

Call upon my name
With an urgency
With desperation
With hunger
With quivering of your lips

Call upon my name
like it's hope
Like it's despair
like it's salvation
like it's resurrection

Lust.

I am but a bystander in this play
I stand and watch in dismay
My stay lengthened as two giants parley
The government and our tutors
Each aloof to my pain

It's an intense scene
I was warned
I was told that opting for a public university
Would mean an inevitable x factor

This x factor
looms over my fate
I do not know when the next
Warning strike announcement would be
Or how long it would last

These incessant strikes
have consumed my youthful years
i've become a relic in this institution
greeted by the same faces after each hiatus
we've become accustomed to this tradition

The Ivy leagues
They do not acknowlege my certificate
Because of the gaps in my study
The x factor is taunting me again
laughing in my face
Time lost that cannot be regained.

-

What would it be?
To laugh without remorse
or
To wail to your heart's contents

What would it be?
To listen and not speak
or
To speak without listening

What would it be?
To plaster a smile across your face
or
To wear that frown

What would it be?
To go without eating
or
To go without drinking

What would it be?
Apples or oranges
Peeches or pitchforks

The illusion of choice

What is darkness without light?
What is light without delight?
What's delight without despair?
What's despair without care?
What is care without love?
What is love without curse?

What is within that's not without?

People come, people go
Train of life keeps moving
Until it's lights out for you.
Enjoy each lived moment, each treasured memory and be grateful you got to experience them.

I can taste your insincerity
Light tipped on your tongue.
From your lips to mine
I hear your unspoken thoughts.
I feel your willful withdrawal
With each breathless pause.
Your eyes take me in
Within them I recognize deceit.
Yet I lean in for another kiss
I yearn for the smile that parts your lips.
This parley is all there is between us.
