#PoemNo3 Before darkness- -j.r.m© 2016

Before darkness
comes emptiness,
echoing,
calling out to my soul…
reaching out
for my hands
grabbing them
and almost
pulling me under.
I become numb
before I know it
I’m swallowed whole
by emptiness and
spat out into
darkness.

#PoemNo2 College Dreams -j.r.m© 2016

College Dreams
-j.r.m© 2016
 
 
My college dreams
were young and naive…
untouched by the
complications
situations weave.
 
I had it all planned out,
Yes even with the building
Peer pressure and the times
My heart got broken.
I dreamed inspite of it.
There was hope in
my eyes, and the way
I viewed the world.
 
A certain innocence
that comes with
Being naïve…
Being pure
In the way
I hadn’t been dealt
A bad hand..
 
What would I know about pain?
What would I know about suffering?
What would I know about loss?
What would I know about weakness?
What would I know about struggle?
what would I know about giving up?
If I hadn’t even been put in a particular
Situation which called for feeling the above?
 
I learnt my biggest lesson after I was dealt a bad hand
Life isn’t only a bed of roses…it has thorns too,
that will prick you and you will bleed, hurt , scream, cry.
 
I learnt only later
that my college dreams
were nothing but a dream…
True life requires
a bit of suffering,
a bit of pain,
a bit of learning
a bit of falling
a bit of almost giving up
a bit of surrender
a bit of trust
a bit of heartbreak
a bit of struggle
a bit of learning to fly
a bit of crawling
a bit of falling down
a bit of bruises…
a bit of everything…
 
College dreams are nothing
But the dust of the ashes
I made my peace with…
 
But…
Occasionally I look back with a certain
Fondness to reminisce
The eyes that brimmed with hope
And that certain kind of innocence…
I miss the most…

Love letter to the beloved words I once failed…
-j.r.m© 2016
 
Words don’t fail me now,
I’ve been gone for far too long,
this I know,
But I’m here to make up for
all those lost moments
I failed to express you,
string you together
like a pearl necklace.
 
Words don’t leave me hanging…
I know you kept on banging
my door, waiting for me
to acknowledge you,
to notice you,
to place you
where you truly belong…
 
In-between the lines
the black spaces
and feelings.
Much goes unsaid,
and unexpressed…
But, I swear tonight
I’m gonna make
it up to you…
for you are my lithium.

New bud on the block.

Giddy with excitement and at the same time nervous.

I call unto the writer gods to give me right words to write my heart out.

New bud on the block 😉

My first time.
