PIERCED HEART


When an heart inflated by true love gets deflated by denials

When opportunities seem absent for dreams

And nursed love finds no bed to root down

Failure inscribes its signet on wandering hopes

Highflying balloons of love brought low by a puncture of "no"

It scares the mind and drills scars in the heart.

But new hopes keeps you going


Some nos are better than yes after all

FROM ME TO MY LOVE

Image
In my mind, your being still colors all my thoughts. I knew I wasn't going to be able to let go, that was why I wanted you to stay. Someone tried to convince me that I was infatuated. But I contended that idea. Because if it were what they said it was, I'm not sure it could last this long. Plus, it never left me for a day since then. I didn't know what a prison was until I entered the cells of your heart. It sounds foolish to many who don't know you but I am a slave of your love. I am the only one who knows these things Your worth keeps me wondering how much loss I've made by letting you go I thought we were done when we said the byes. But now I think, maybe I should have stolen the bus keys that drove you away.

She didn't love it, but she must do it; Waking to meet another beautiful day of 'peanut hunt'. She has many mouths and hopes looking up to her,   Almost like a curse, she must hurt alone to give them joy. Her labour yields much but she earns only peanuts. Pruning, spraying, harvesting and processing all year, Only to share at a loss with the powerful men. She can't quit this trade though she hates it.   She does all, not to free her self, But to grant her seeds a break from the curse; That old foe - poverty always before her, Tho uncertain her seeds would make her proud, She never returns home till the day's work is done.
