Calm your worries and feed your dreams
The first thing that came to mind
When reading the word VAULT
Was the inner workings of my heart
Code to crack
Difficult to get in
Thick walls
But nearly indestructible
My vault of a heart
Holds all my deepest secrets
All my memories
All my pain
Sometimes it’s
Stronger than it’s own good
Barring the storm
keeping out the insane
This heart of mine
Can be tricky
Confusing
Fickle
But it loves with the strength
Of the strongest metal
and once you get in
You are
Golden
The universe tends to work in very mysterious ways
Breadcrumbs
nudges
Whispers
To the right direction
Sometimes it is the direction we desire
Sometimes it’s in the direction that breaks your heart
But it is very curious
The way that the universe tends to work
When we ask it
For answers
#Fandango’s One Word Challenge : CURIOUS
They walk past me with mournful eyes
Shaking their heads in disappointment
“Why do you hold on so tight?
The thorns piercing your skin?
Your blood dripping so bright?”
They do not understand
There is no need to die
Giving them my last breath
As I lay him down
Tuck him in
And shower him with light
I watch him bloom
I watch him grow
And I know
He is a keeper
Every morning
the sun would rise
Every morning
That sun rose with pride
Boasting in his brightness
Full and larger than life
He thought to himself
“Every night, they are saddened with darkness,
Every morning, they need me to light their way,
I am what they wait for as their head touches their pillow,
My absence is what they dread as the day passes by”
As 12 O’clock approaches he inflates to take up as much of the sky as he can
It is not to be egotistical
He does not shine bright because he thinks he is the center of the universe
O’ sun
All he feels is joy
The assumption that he is all we need to survive
He doesn’t realize that
As he stands tall
As he holds strong
Some of us wilt
Some of us dry
Some of us fall beneath the light
And some of us die
Walking along the stoney path
Fingers grazing the brick bridge wall
I hear her humming
The most feminine tune
And I wonder what beauty I might befall
I peer across
O’ I am so lucky to see
And angel prancing along the meadow
But then she stops to look at me
The heat within me rises
Feeling caught
Red handed
Warm
Like a peeping tom
I am guilty
an eye
Gazing
Upon her storm
She stands before me gawking
I prepare for a slap across my cheek
And then gently she places a flowered crown upon my head
And curtseys in front of me
Bewildered
I don’t understand why she stays so kind
All she does is smile
What a lucky lucky day this is
Of mine
She barreled through your life
Like a stampede
She dismantled all your walls
You fought to keep her out
But she saw through that facade
She made you uncomfortable
She made you question
She made it hard for you to breathe
She tore through your life
And made you want to leave
You opened your eyes
You metamorphasized
You broke through
You soared
She made you never give up
And She made you want more
He said to me
“You are being explosive ”
Little did he know,
There was a tornado inside me that I was holding back from being released.
He said to me
“You are teetering on the edge”
Little did he know,
I tip-toed the tight-walk for miles before I got here
He doesn’t know I watched myself demolish this room
Ripped things off the walls
Flipped over every table
Breaking every breakable thing
As I sat on this bed engulfed with the fire within me
While sitting in the calm
