Failure

Perfection

Perfection 

Worn out tools in thirst of rebirth,
all acquaintances blame its existence
yet, once it arose to make it high.

 

Time and again failure shook the hands
However, short-lived branches,
making its hay to touch the ground:

 

At my heart banyan tree.
Whose depth and lengths
lesser known to one who counts.

 

Let my tools find new horizons,
in line at finishing my tasks
doubting self best of my choices.
I wish too many worn out tools
bank the perfections.

Final Stage

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It's alot and it's a bit of babbling, but it's my heart open for display. I loved, lost, and wish to love again one day much later. This is my healing process.

Wrong Sort of Love

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Girlishly wrote this about the wrong kind of man, because I was blindsided in a way that no one should ever be. Reading over it still brings a tear to my eye. 

Consequences

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was the very first poem I wrote. It always give me a nostaligic sense of how far (I believe) that I've travelled.
