I just want to sleep...

I just want to sleep...

just want to close my eyes

hoping my mind 

will pause to forget

all the thoughts and pain

creeping in my heart 

and in my head...

Voices of my realities 

that never leaves...

Autumn Winds

The autumn winds

Brushing on my skin 

a touch of sadness 

they bring...

The autumn winds

Bringing back the memories 

of the pains

of the promises gone in vain...

The autumn winds

Failing leaves falling 

losing hold of time

blown away by the wind...

Autumn has come...

Autumn has come...

Today I recall

The last autumn 

that were buried 

with the fallen leaves

in Fall...

Lovely colors

of yellow and reds

with orange and brown 

dampened beneath 

lofty lonely trees...

Each leaf

speaks for a time 

of moments of love 

of hopes and dreams 

of tears and pain

swiftly blown away

in one autumn wind...

Just waiting for time...

🍂My flesh shivering 

my body so weak...

could hardly lift a finger...

could hardly take air to breathe...

So tired with sadness...

torn worn by pain...

In my life 

I stopped searching for meaning...

I have lived to my fullest...

I have given my best...

I have loved to the truest...

Now...

just waiting for time

to take my breath and be one with the gale...

So shall my sadness and pain be gone 

then shall my meaning be mine...🍂

Tempest...

   

        

Amidst the turbulent waters 

holding on to a pole 

as the cruel flow 

devoured everything 

before his  very eyes...

there he was 

standing for his life...

Then I saw myself...

standing there...

There I was 

caught in the middle 

of my tempest...

So suddenly so swiftly...

my world turned around 

so instantly...

All that I believed

were all washed away...

Hopelessness...

Realizing the loss...

The sorrow to know

that the love you love so much

will never ever come back...

The feeling of looking beyond the ocean

far too far gazing on nothingness...

Deep in this heart is pain...

deeper than the ocean...

Hopelessness...

If there is...

If there's a place that I could choose to go...

It is to you...

If there's a time that destiny will bring me back

I will stay in my memories of you...

If there's a life that God will allow me to live

I pray to live my lifetime with you...
