Love, Letters, Thoughts and Gestures?

 How to conceptualize love?

How does one conceptualize love 

My love...

Within the confines of a letter?

Confusing.


The idea of love letters intrigues me

To sit down 

And have someone pour 

their heart out 

As they describe every little thing

That makes them love you

A written expression

From ones lover

Expressing how important you are to them

What a beautiful, loving gestures


What it must be like

To be subject of such passion

Intense burning desire.


I think these thoughts

Sitting across you 

In the dimness if this room 

Waiting patiently for you to play your next hand 

I wonder

In these moments

If words 

Written, unwritten

Spoken or unspoken

Will ever be enough

To characterise the extent

Of what I perceive to be

My love.

To the optimist

-
Heed my words with due concern, One of you will not return. The journey is far, It’s never near, Its wrought with lies, despair and fear. You cling to life, That one dear breath, But this path has strife, It will bring death, Remember that the end is near, Trust me when I say it will end in tears. I do commend how hard you fight, To life’s ideals,  You do hold tight, But trust me yes,  the end is near, Let go of that which you hold dear. That smile you keep will surely wane, You keep it on,  it’s all in vain. Do not condemn your soul pain.  This optimism is just insane. I warn you now the end is near, Leave this body, run far from here. Whether it be joy that soon departs, Or love from this now fragile heart. Or kindness dug from the depths of my soul, Maybe all of these I will let go I told you that the end is near, The darkness reigns with death and fear. The time for light has long since passed, Forget about a better path. Forget that there was ever joy, Remember,...

When I think of My Mother

-
 When I think of my mother, I see a guard, She is holding me captive. But not in the safety of her arms. I hear the voice of a siren, Her words bending me to her will, Robbing me of free will, Putting me under her control, Coz that’s what children are for. I sit in my room in an anxiety flux And it really kinda sucks, That I fear her so much.  She broke me before the bullies had a chance. It’s sad when your guardian is the source of your tears And when you see them all you do is cower in fear. Its sad when a holiday is dedicated to the being who was supposed to love you, But did nothing but reflect hatred to you. But I was young and naïve, And I thought it was all in the name of love. Thank you for showing me what love is not.  And for giving me the strength to love you regardless, I just wish I could have felt the touch of a mother’s love. Happy mother day. From the Son you never loved.

To The Bully That...

-
 They say the best poetry you write is that which comes out all at once. Well i hop that's true coz I literally wrote this in 5 minutes. Also bullying is not okay in any form or shape. To the bully that is trolling my life, Don’t tell me I don’t fit your ideal standards of a body type, Don’t tell me I’m ugly, That I’m a lost cause, Don’t undermine my self-worth, Stop judging my every move. Trust me I do enough of that already, I don’t need you to help me. I’m all the poison that I need, So why do you feel that need, To add fuel to the fire, At least pretend to be a good liar, Why do you hide your insults with flattery? Are you trying to mock my intelligence? For all my faults you had to have realised I am smarter than that. Stop adding acid to my wound then glazing it over with a honey tongue, As if your “sweet” personality soothes the burn. You know, You don’t have to be mean, But if you are going to mean, Don’t try and act all nice and clea...
