battle scars

when you thought everything has healed
it comes back again
it has become a part of you
seeping through your veins.

and you start to hear it again
it just went on momentary pause.
it is not a song playing
but, a soul weeping.
carrying a lot of burden,
memories, you think, are long forgotten.
you had your fist clenched,
held on to it too tight
that it caused a sharp sting.

when the ache doesn't fade,
when the scars don't heal,
when the weight has become too heavy,
unfold your fingers one by one --
and learn to let go,
let the pain leave you.

hush now.
be still.
be silent.
you've been through this before.

laws of attraction

nights are longer,
but the tolerance, shorter.

the temperature is warmer,
but the heart, colder.

a broken smile
with a naive state of mind.

you chose to let go,
while i chose to linger.

such a bittersweet moment
despite opposite worlds.

someday I may remember.
someday you may forget.

Moira

she continued to wait
   for clearer skies in the days ahead

she hoped and she prayed
  for just a glimpse of her northern sky.

she never faltered.
   she still believes in fate.

elusion

it all came without question.
Christmas day,
the fourth of January,
the fourth of March.

and then summer
it's almost over,
and it rained today.

as I watch the days pass
i am not at all surprised
with the ticking of the clock.

when the sun rises or when it sets
another day ends.

but still I wait for it to come

even though i know
the only thing that is never inevitable,
is you.
