The Phases of a Lover

Smooth winds whispered tones
Cool breeze happy souls

This is peace.

Rain, raindrops that congregate into a sign of an answered prayer
It’s in the whispered words uttered by a glance or a lengthened silence

That is love.

Disappointment, shattered expectations
Well meant emotion that turns into naivety in the eyes of a former lover

This is heartbreak

Resentment, happening slowly then all at once
In a state of denial whilst convincing yourself you’re over it
The memories of what was floods you with regret
And you realise you can’t swim.

That, a phase of disappointment.

Mindless wondering, soul searching.
Forgetting the shadows of old and stepping out a new creation
Self love, self appreciation

That, bliss.

Family dinners, friendly laughter
Not asking for too much
Knowing that you are enough
And then, right there in plain sight

Joy

Repeat

Candles In The Sun

There they are,

Smooth hair, butter skin, light laughs
There they are
The ones we all wanna meet- wanna be
There they are,
The cool enough to be hot
The now, the hip
They shine so bright, any surrounding star is dimmed
They are all you see

There they are
Matted, rough edges, uptight
Not a sound of joy
There they are,the laid back,too clever to be cool
They shine so dim

There they are
Clean shaven,muscular, popular
Every lady at their disposal
Haughty laughs, dark eyes
They’re too cool to be hot
They shine so loud and dim so much

They all are, candles in the sun
Some lit, some not
When their flames burn
The Bright shine out the Sun
The shining dim hide under the shade
Too afraid
The dim, shining loud, shine only when together
When not…the Sun and Wind blow them outout
