vulnerable

can you see through it

through the pretence and facade

the vulnerable woman in me

pining for you

to take me in your protective arms

and be a girl once again

a breath

what matters the most

…in the beginning

and in the end…

a breath

incapable of love

why

my love for you

waned

was it

just a phase

or

I am incapable

of love

no more sleep… haiku

I lost you

in my dream last night

I am done sleeping

different

you could never

compensate

for the loss

of my parents

for that love

was a different kind

tradition

steeped in tradition 

the bride waits anxiously 

for her new life

rain…

those sunny days 

of sweltering heat and sweat

pining for rain

wheels of time…haiku

come back to me

turn back the wheels of time

we were so good together

bygone

lying in the dappled shade

summer breeze caressing my face

lost in bygone memories

the quest

the never ending quest

to create do something famous

drives me insane
