Hi there everyone! I hope all is well? This pass few years has been hard on some of us, if not all of us. Yet with the grace of the heavens we still manage to be pulling through. All I have been doing through this time is penning out my pain as a remedy to pass time. I will be returning with new materials for you all to read and indulge in. Continue to stay safe, keep praying in these trying times.
Light and love to you y’all!
There’s many storms brewing
Yet, when I present myself to you,
I am as calm as the midday sea
I spend days fighting a never-ending battle,
A war I have no chance of winning.
I pretend to be who I am not
Trapped and restrained the real me,
I’ve have been hurt too many times to count
Injuries they’re overwhelming,
I sit sulking away over a bottle of gin & pineapple juice
Though they do nothing to numb this pain;
I succumbed to my emotions.
My outward appearance seems strong
Yet, behind closed doors, I am like a sponge submerged in water,
Reminiscing with tears as they lose grip of my water-based eyes
Heaven knows I have grown weary of putting on this show,
I tire of the scenes I play
And the all too familiar cast I know,
Still, I await these curtains to come down
Putting an end to this on-going fiasco;
Maybe then I will have some closure.

Frazer. Once you get to the page all you need to do is like, comment and share the poem all of which adds up to one vote. Thank you in advance.
A GIFT LOST
The radio plays songs that induce feelings,
I sometimes wish I never had,
For they open wounds that never heal.
As the stars whisper to the moon,
I thought of how you were the fire that melted my frozen heart, like butter in the sun.
I thought of how my stomach you once filled with butterflies,
And how you left me speechless, yet full of laughter.
You were the foundation I wanted to build my home on,
But you became a blueprint without a plan,
I see people close their eyes to dream, with you I only had to open mine.
When you looked at me my heart skipped beats, my eyes twinkle and your smile made me fall in love all over again.
You had a savage kind of personality, like that of wolves,
But your heart was as soft as wool.
You were a beautiful disaster, like chaos really!
Your smile dared me to fall in love.
You were the love that existed,
Yet the love lost,
You were a prized possession,
Yet the gift I naively lost.

I’m an insomniac
Tormented by this reality,
where innocent smiles are nothing but façades of murderous grins.
Old enough to not be scared
Yet still I am afraid of bed time stories,
For they turn out to be nightmares.
And the lullaby’s you hear sounds like an episode of beetle juice lost in auto tunes,
A remake of Beethoven’s Scary masquerade.
Tired of these Insomnia’s
I really need to get some rest.
But,how can I sleep knowing that I will be waking up to the horrific news
Of lifeless bodies laying in the streets,
Be it close or in some remote location
I have yet to discover.
I never believed in fairy tales
Given the trajectory of the times I wish I had,
This may seem girly but I wish
I was Alice in wonderland or perhaps Dorothy in the wizard of Oz.
A click of my heels would take me to an utopian home
As chaotic as things are I have to deal with this mentally derange zone,
A zone where everyone is suffering from some kind of sleepless hypnosis.
As madness and lawlessness roam free
Sporting faces of glee.

As the winds blow
I sense your presence
I see ocean’s
Form in your eyes,
Your so close
Yet so far
One thing I know
You’re my shining star.
Good day,
