I seek asylum from myself
often hiding behind my poetry.
Desperately holding on to
the jagged edge
of my fragmented heart.

of my fragmented heart.

Strange how our seasons are completely opposite… I had the pleasure of waking up to a fresh-baked bread and a robust cup of coffee that a puts a smile on my face … while you are pouting like a grumpy old duck.

From a sleepy thought
to a hasty morning cup of joe
I longed to be touched
to be held like how a bride
carries her wedding bouquet.

To lose is not an option
every gambler knows it
Maybe to hold you one more time
will send me to forever high
Maybe there’s a chance for me
to be found and not be forgotten
in this ever changing ever chaotic world.
And maybe if I don’t let defeat define me and my destiny, maybe I will learn to open
my doors and let you in. Perhaps you need me too, even if you can not admit it for some stupid reason you hesitate to share with me.
You see, I am not a total loss you just need to take a risk.
I may never own a perfect beach house, may never own an expensive car or a yacht-but I am true to myself, I am a loyal person and I love with all my heart and I am worth your time and worth your love and you should know that.

Many of us give our unsolicited advise to people when conversing with friends, coworkers, family members and even strangers we talk to at a check out stand at a local grocery stores. We say to them things like “go for it sign up for a cooking class, you never know you may meet your “Knight in a Shining Armor” . Some people also say things like, if I were you I will reconcile with my long lost friend… you never know when will be the last time you are going to see them”…
Today I heard that one of my friends closest cousin passed away unexpectedly, and no matter how I try to wrap my brain around to understanding what happened to her, I also am grappling with the words ” you never know”.
From now on, I am going to start keeping in-touch with friends and family members from outer State, or even friends living forty miles away. I will make sure I talk or text with them, even once or twice a month. Because you never know…
