Musings on Heartbreaks and City Lights

We hang our heads to watch the stars below

Because the city night sky is empty.

Someone must have taken them all, you know?

Cast them down to earth for you and me.

But the stars on the ground don’t shine as much

As the ones that once lit up the night sky.

Still, our souls intertwine and our hearts touch,

Like meeting each other for the first time.

Sand is slipping quickly through our fingers.

We know of no goodbye; only hello.

The shadow of yesterday still lingers;

We grasp at fragments, afraid to let go.

The stars beneath our feet no longer glow.

But I know the sun will rise tomorrow.

Musings on Oblivion

A thousand pieces of you
     f(ly) to the stars;
             (a) hopeless,
                   beautiful disaster.

Thirteen reasons why
        why we broke up:

We were liars
        meant to be -
(a) never ending
        house of secrets;
        shadows in the silence.

Musings on Absolution

One day,
       barefoot in fire,
       (the) Goddess of Vengeance
                learn(ed)
                forgiveness
                          (and) burn(ed)
                          (her) murder list.

Musings on Pursuing Ambition

Lone wolf
         chasing tomorrow;
         where she went,
         I don't know.

Musings on Gender Prejudice

She ached for children;
He desired a son.
Five years into their wedlock,
They still had none.

"What good is a woman
Who's barren?"  They said.
"Clearly, she's useless;
Might as well be dead."

Through the years, she was accused,
But of the man, none thought ill.
(Yet she had been fertile since her youth
And unknown to them, he was sterile.)

Each time they tried,
Disappointment loomed in sight.
Until her visitor came three days late
One fateful December night.

The whole town rejoiced.
Her honor was restored...
She gave him bloodstained sheets
And he gave her a divorce.

Musing's on God's Goodness

I am an asphyxiated scream
Lodged in a stale trachea,
All but bursting at the seam,
Unable to contain this mania.

I am 21 years of unworthy,
Undeserving of grace and mercy;
But blessed, blessed, blessed
More than words can ever express.

I am proof of God's love and grace.
He cleared my windpipes, gave me air.
And I will praise Him all my days
Because the beauty of grace
Is that it makes life not fair.
