My Promise to You

I'm here to tell you that whatever is going on, you're going to make it out, and you will be stronger for it.

Divide me in pieces, my friends, and take a part so that I can be with you whenever you are sad, and whenever you are worrying. All I want is for happiness to be in your lives because you deserve it. Each one of you, and you should know all my thoughts are forever.

Drink in the sunlight, etch a smile on your lips, you may not feel the goodness yet, but you will. You're going to live a beautiful life, and I'll be there if you ever need company.

May this song bring a calm to your mind, like it did for mine. 

Untitled #74 (wakefulness)

Weary words on a dark page
Eyes made blurry from tearful confusion

Lead lines rough-hewn into words, into stanzas

Struggling moon beneath an atmospheric haze

Restless,

Awake,

Pacing

Soft carpet crumples beneath my feet

Crickets’ relentless song

Refrigerator’s endless humming

Eyes peer through glass panes

All but the leaves touched by a hinted breeze are hushed into a motionless mood 

Here, the suburbs- sounds of cars passing - one, two, three

A strange whistling sound of tires thrumming across a concrete bridge

I hide the presence of my wakefulness

But how to break the curse of nightmares treading at my heels?

Shaking my head, I yearn for the residue of horror to be erased

Wishing my mind was made of sand, the result would resemble a shaken etch-a-sketch

Please saturate my brain with brighter emotion:

Dusty smell of horses’ winter coats,

Dancing through young wheat fields,

Savory taste of ripe strawberries,

Moonlit beaches, crests of waves, the glow of nighttime krill

Oh, noble Night, I beg of you to lull me to a splendid sleep

Yet your quietness has become deafening
Angrily I oppress myself asleep
Only to enter a repeated dreamscape

And again running from my haunting fears

Before waking up screaming

Caught, 
trapped, 
chained 
by a new subconscious delusion
