Mending hearts
At some points in time, we nurture feelings in the thick of perturbations. We think we have to. We know we want to. We just can't help it.
And in the long run, at the end of the ill-lighted tunnels that these feelings turned out to be, we afford the saddened pieces of our hearts some scope. To trust again. To love again. And these pieces...sometimes, just sometimes, are ligands that mend other hearts. Because some hearts can never be whole by themselves. And the world is for risk takers. The world is for risk takers. And the world is for risk takers.

When the skies enroll the stars tonight,
I'm following the brightest one
Perhaps I'd find my way out of you
And have the taste of being myself again

But what is it about love
that we fall to get it?
That we lose ourselves
when we win it?
And when we have it,
the wildest storm scares us not.

They say you are the darkness
I say you are perfect
For my stars to shine bright
You bring my hopes nigh
They say you are the darkness
Heartless in kind - a hellion
I say you are one of a kind
Perfect to bind to my kind
They say you are the darkness
They say you are heartless
I say you are my adonis
I adore you in every sense
They say you are the darkness
And my light bends before you
Loving you is a place airless
I'm hurt, I'm in love albeit

You are causing blushes in my heart
It hurts in a way
Drugs and concoctions cannot heal
Or they can,
But this ill I feel nourishes my cells

I am exchanging my heart for a stone
I will fence it with a chinese wall
So no one enters it again.
Just me, being selfish,
senseless to the pains of a broken heart.

If only we could run away from our problems...
The oceans would be my country
I'll build an abode in a whale's belly
Munching on meditations for daily bread:
Father. Forgive our trespasses
As we forgive the problems that never made home a place like none other

My heart feels like an appendix-
An organ I hold,
Unappreciative of its functions till it's broken,
Till it hurts.
And I try to fix it
By ripping its walls apart,
Wishing I could toss it to the trash
Finding an organ to do the circulation is huge hindrance. Unfortunately so.
And heart transplants are very complicated,
Finding a donor is just a beginning.
Everyone wants to do it after drinking the sorcerous potions of love.
Till heartbreak is hangover.

My skin
Is like a towel
Dipped in sins
It's never felt wet enough

TONGUES
Eke, you
You are beautiful and I don't know how to say it
When every language in the world is compelling me to speak this with them - tongues
But it's just one tongue I have
You should see that I'm caught in a dilemma
So forgive me if you don't understand
"You es muy linda" spontaneously

Tonight...
Mama will lock the door at 9
And you will hear stones hit
your windows three times, then, my lover,
you will know to raise your curtains high,
Greet me with a Hi, and I'll respond with a
sparkling smile.
©younus_unik
Oh, yes my love,
in fact I've been waiting,
for a stone to hit, my
spirit's lit, 'coz I know it's you
I'm going to meet.
And as I raise my curtain high,
into your arms, my heart will fly.
Again, in love, we're both drenched,
the thirst of our souls were quenched.
We'll hold each others hands while we
exchange sweet kisses at 10 on the bench..
