Red Blanket

 

I want to leave every part of my life that he touched and changed for the better, but to do that , I’d have to leave my own skin. Everywhere I turn there is a reminder of him and this pain that I keep pushing down almost makes it’s way out and I find myself afraid and fighting back tears. I refuse to believe that he will never kiss me again, never look into my eyes and tell me he loves me. Sometimes I wish that I never pushed him away but my heart would not have forgiven me if I stayed. I pray for him, not to come back to me but for his happiness and for the world to ease the pain in his heart, for love to prevail and his relationship with her survives against all odds. I know I have not prayed in years but God please answer this one.

 

I think I am too afraid to pray for myself because every time they remain unanswered I loose what little faith I have. I know I am to blame but I can’t help my nature nor fight this heart of a dreamer that leaves no room for logic or rational behavior. It’s sad to think that even the happy memories we shared now bring stinging pain and warm tears because every smile is followed by the realization that that book is closed and has been put on a shelf that I am too short to reach.

 

I gave him my heart and spirit and when that failed I tried to give him this body, thinking that maybe he would stay. Reverting back to the behavior I had left behind when I met him and falling yet again from the top.

 

I am worn, tired and sincerely unhappy but the thought of him loving and living and laughing pushes me through and forces me to take a step. Not forward. Just a step in any random direction, aimlessly because all I feel is this need to move. Followed by the unwavering desire to run backwards and defy time.

 

I went to see another man from my past recently and he became tangled in old feelings and tried to kiss me but I stopped him because I know that the last lips that kissed mine were those of someone I loved, and by kissing him I somehow felt that he would erase what’s left of that last kiss and I am not ready to let that happen.

 

Fuck, why can’t I let go it seems that the more time passing the harder it seems to get because I am struggling to hold on to any peace of him I have left. I even dug up the time capsule that I used to burry every shred of evidence that we existed thinking it would take this very evident pain away with it.

 

I told myself I would never do this, I am the empress of keeping from becoming emotionally involved and invested in a partner.

You are standing in front of me. We have become so close , looking at you is like looking into my own eyes. Your smile on my face and my tears in your eyes. And there is so much pain behind both our eyes that I had to look away. I am turning around and trying to walk away but even as I take a step forward I hear the steady beat of your heart , and your deep pained breathing. I close my eyes and turn around , throwing myself into your arms , overcome with an emotion I did not know I had. somewhere in between love , longing anger and loss there was this feeling that  made me wrap my arms around your neck and grip your shirt because I could no longer support my own weight. I am fighting back these tears , and I am angry. Then you rest your head between my shoulder and cheek. Your scent and touch flood my mind, for the last time. I let the tears fall because I could no longer contain these emotions. I cry sincerely. Because these tears are not over you, just for you.

Without him I need him  yet with him alone

My heart is a kingdom , his eyes its throne

He smile delights me yet fills me with fears

He caused me to cry but dried my tears

My darling

M love

Where do I begin

You fill my heart with sorrow

Benight my word within

Beyond my crazy fantasies

Beyond my wildest dreams

Beyond the phony laughter

Towards my inner screams

 

 

I push you

                 You stay

And take me away

 

You lie and you cheat and try to deceive me

I beg you don’t leave me

 

Forever , yet apart

                            Inside me you lie… deep in my heart

 

FOR YOU

For you

 

For you I suffered in tears

For you I swallowed my fears

For you I gave love a chance

For you I’ve murdered romance

 

For you

 

I held you and loved you and lost you at once

I called you and called you and called you again

I am yearning and sinking, I have drowned in my pain

 

I called you

 

With matches of envy you set me on fire

I am burning with anguish, fear and desire

 

I stand here still

I look upon what I have done

What’s done is done what’s done is done

In Davenport Ville, up main street

In the little art shop around

                                    the corner

 

                         

               

                 He

           

     Walked

 

Around

     

           In

 

               Circles

Past the flowers past the spades, a   l    o    n   g   the paintings and then he stopped

 

An evanescent odalisque in threadbare rags

Slovenly

 

 

 

 

Alone

 

 

 

On her knees

           In prayer?

No

 

to her master she muttered pleas

 

her shame and sorrow entwine

to bow to another human

                                  but

her life is on the line

 

the image mocked humanity in all its essence

in Davenport Ville , up main street

in the little art shop, he began to weep

Twisted Truth

 

They call themselves soldiers of peace

         But what are soldiers for but war

If peace is war                                                                then war is peace

 

This world is surly at peace

 

We are at peace, yet soldiers fight

By day

       By evening

                   Dawn

                         And night

For every song a bird doth sing

A gun shot in the air will ring

 

For every time that one shall laugh

One will hear a child scream

 

 

For every ounce of hope that’s built

Quiet

Will become a dream

 

 

For            step     soldier            

      Every         a              walks   

 

An innocent soul will fall

 

Until the cries of justice dwindle and silent we are, one and all

Ashes

Out from the ashes a flower grew

Its vibrant red echoing memories of you

With the wind it swayed from side to side

But yet it hung with strength and pride

The sun has burned this flower of mine

In knew the rain would come in time

Sad and thirsty, plain and tall

It casts great shadows on the wall

Days had passed no sign of rain

Only dryer ground and growing pain

All hope was gone but faith remained

Before I knew it the ground was stained

The rain had fallen, my flower lived

And here it is to you a gift

You see my story it dose not end

For there always will be a heart to mend.

The Storm

Quiet

 

Flowers   

              Swaying

 from

              side

 to

              side

I  r e a c h    I touch

I feel the warmth

I BREath in deep             the taste is sweet

 

The warmth escaping

Wind

Clouds

Leaves in Rage

My hair in fear   attempts escape

I stay

The branches rattle in search for shelter

I stay

 

The rain is coming    it’s chasing me

I stay

The rain slowly begins to  

                                        Fall

                                         

Each drop distinct in sound

So small   yet Powerful it echoes still

I felt warm tears

                         run  

                                down

                                         my

                                              cheek

Why did I cry?                                                                     I did not know

 

 

I smell the mint

Its soul escaping

 

I envy it

 

The world is cleansed by the sky’s pain

The leaves are calm

Their will destroyed

The clouds march away with victory

The final drops

Escape my eyes

The lord has dimmed his guiding light

The world, he covered with gloomy night

The storm has won

 

Without a fight

He walked through the mall
She clutched her purse from the nigger
Like the comb in his afro was a gun with a trigger

But the nigga walks on
And I knew by that hardened glare and that gulp of despair and the kink in his hair
That he was biting his tongue , holding back his anger
He knew what she thought , although she’s a stranger
He wanted to say
I am not a robber or a rapper, I am a man living life , I got a job, three kids and I love my wife
But , the nigga walks on
He lets her think he is a thief , he surrenders his pride and swallows his grief
What would he have said in that moment so brief
I don’t know
He won’t know, Cause the nigga walks on
He goes home to show love to his wife ,
Now ... she’s known this man for her whole life
But enough is enough
Ever since the day I met you
You knew nothing but anger
Don’t you NEED something new?
I wish , I could put love in the palm of your hand and make you taste it , make you chase it , crave it
Nigga you’re still a slave
Not to your color , your roots or the kink in your hair
But to inherited ignorance, anger , despair
Let go nigga, you’ve had more than your share
Your sin is not skin , its your silence that chills , hurts , rapes and sometimes kills.
Nigga please
Speak your mind , and just breathe

I am a triumph of self delusion , I delude my self to the point where I need everything but you,
Then delude myself to the point where you are all I need...
Althought I am not quite sure wether if it is a matter of anger , passion or greed
The issue is that I can’t seem to find the middle ground . I am begining to wonder if its even around
You see THIS love is like a hologram of a stunning truth
The truth I am dying to face, and one I’ve tried to erase
Maybe i am nothing without you , but you’re everything with me?
Maybe we’re tied up , in chains we can’t see
I am a prisoner of thoughts untouched, words unsaid, like a stranger in my own bed
Crazy feelings in his heart .or. in my head ...
I can walk away, but I’ll feel like i am dead
But still damned if i stay
He is the plague and its cure , he is the richest of poor
He is what I am not , I am what he is not
I am a triumph of self delusion
I delude my self to the point where i am frozen in time
Then delude myself to the point where I am speeding faster than light
Althought I am not quite sure wether if it is a matter of anger , passion or greed
The issue is that I can’t seem to find the middle ground . I am begining to wonder if its even around

Yuh, definatly aggravated. I cannot deal with this man anymore. Whoever said you cannot help the people you love, was right , all the way...If I could choose who to love , it would definatly NOT be him. Wait, but does that mean I already don't love him? I don't know , all I know is , I can't deal with him anymore. He whines at me ALL the time. I don't think he is ready for a mature relationship, he is posessive and I cannot see my self staying with him any longer, let alone spending the rest of my life with him. GAH! that is probably the only word that can describe how am feeling at the moment. Someone shoot me. Until then I will smoke shisha , eat noodles and watch southpark.

Later days

I do believe it has been more than a year since my last entry. I don't  even know why I am starting again. Seems strange after so long. You would think that I have alot to say but in reality I do not. Well I guess I should say what I'm doing these days. I am at york, doing a terrible job at it might I add. I am still obsessive-compulsive, not so much a neat freak anymore. I guess I did this because everything is spinning out of control. But its not like this will help. Anyways, Oh and since my last entry. I've become a bisexual, got 2 tattoos, a few peircings. Sang a little, danced a little, moved to toronto, screamed, cried, loved, had a near death experience, lost, won, slept (very little), performed, ate, showered, swam, nearly drowned, failed, succeeded, laughed, fell, grew, shrunk... thats it. I think that covers it all, and now that we're up to date. I think thats it! when I think of something more meaningful to write, believe you me, I will.
