Beneath it all

peal away the sadness
one single layer at a time
expose the fragility
suffer the consequences
shed tears of remorse
as the grips of sadness
slowly let go
while waves of memories
haunt your psyche
and twirl within
trying to escape
release is hopeful
peal away the pain
one layer at a time
renew the vitality
hidden beneath the armour
where hope was banished
to live in the flame
to become ashes of grief
with no one to blame

places I go

places where the wind blows softly
where birds sing sweet lullabies
as the waves crash respectively against the white sand
solitude
imagination
procrastination
are timeless treasures
places where a gentle breeze touches my face
where songs of laughter fill my body
as the sky paints puffs of white cotton
inspiration
dreams
peacefulness
are timeless treasures
places where my heart beats loud
where serenity rolls over white sand
as water washes away yesterday
joy
contentment
creativity
are timeless treasures
places where my soul survives
where destiny pulls my hand
as the world embraces me in love
whispers
laughter
happiness
are timeless treasures
places where I can touch pleasure
where senses explore reality
as the universe guides me
