Black Coffee

A little neat Cafe de corner,
Decorated with fresh flowers and a solid marble floor.
There's wonderfully cooked homemade dessert.
Tiramisu, Cheese cake, chocolate fondue that pours.
On the side there's a laced shelf stacked with books,
The dainty tables hold sweets of caramel and toffee,
While Peggy Lee and Etta James make art with jazz,
I'll do the chores from nine to four and in between I'll drink,
Black coffee.

Etta James, Black Coffee.

One and only.

To my one and only, 2013 won't be perfect without your presence. Why do you come back for a day, steal my heart away then leave for months of absence? 4 years since we first met and I know it was fate, But life isn't great enough to create perfect lovers without much waiting. So I'm debating... whether I'm too naive and unrealistic, To wait another 4 years to be with you. I want to love someone else but I don't know how to. That's the easy way out, I could just move on... But what about the promise we had agreed upon? The little moments of me being under your umbrella, In the wrap of your arm, I become Cinderella with a prince. And your soft words prints deep in my heart despite distance keeping us apart. How can I lie to myself when you've always been the one I want to run to. So can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now to clear all the fears and tears I've had When the ...

I used to be

I used to be an avid writer, Or even a poet as I'd like to claim. It's been quite a while since my last post about insecurities and shame. Those feelings that came but never went. It seems that I stopped being good, At anything at all, All I knew was how to stare, And how to fall. Since, I've done a lot of growing, A whole lot of learning, But I still keep hanging, Onto the faith that others have for me, Even though I have no belief, Nor any certainty I could ever succeed.

You are enough

Perhaps in great darkness, There truly is a light...  For it's been almost a year or two  Since i've felt the need to write.  Though my writing feels quite rusty,  And awkward to continue, I want to capture what I'm going through.  This is stress that's quite brand new.  I asked for a new challenge,  And challenge I was granted. Now that I've got what I wished,  I wonder if that's what I wanted.  Do you know that feeling, Where you're constantly subpar-  Even if you've tried everything You seem to still fall far. It's not like I'm not trying, It's not like anyone's to blame, But I'm always in a rush,  For people to know my name.  I wish I was way smarter,  I wish I was way quicker,  I wish I was way louder,  I wish I was less bitter.  They say you are enough, But it doesn't seem the case, Even when people assure me, I can't help thinking it's ...
