Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

The ornaments of truths, the hidden needlework

The webs and knots of me lay out the lace of love

The beads of words spell out the truths for you to hold

And as you pull the strings, I'm gracefully undone

 

And maybe this is it, and maybe that's the day 

That everything before was destined to create

And I will gladly take each silent come what may

And may it come right now, ...

The loneliness around me is filling every space

It sits in every corner, it shadows every face

I see some random strangers too busy holding hands

The memories you left me, pave paths I cannot trace 

 

I have to keep on smiling and shine on every street 

I have to look just happy, enough for them to meet 

The one who's always wanted, the one who has it all 

Who wants a broke...

I am the only sunshine. I am the brightest star

I am the perfect woman. I am the silly clown

I am the one you wanted. I'm missed when I am gone

I am the new beginning when all is said and done

 

I am the secret lover. I am the pretty one 

I am the silent whisper. I am the hidden scar 

I am the wandering pilgrim. I am the golden rule 

I am the one who matters. I paint y...

My medicine, my poison, your curse

My blessing, your disease, my never ever

Your frozen fire, waiting for a source

My lost and found, your stay alone together

 

My blushed hello, your last untrue forgive me

My salty memory, your bitter drops of guilt

Your chains of gold, my quiet “never leave me”

My crystal castle that you'll never build

 

I'll let you vanish right be...

Ashes

So here we are, two strangers with a story

One lost and found, the other flying high

A life apart, a love behind. Sad glory.

Two burnt survivors celebrating life

 

You try to steal the heart you failed to borrow

Time shows its teeth stained badly with regret

Pawned for a sin, unbathed in her tomorrow

Your soul's for sale for reasons to forget

 

And do I know how long ...

Something To Remember

Your truths are lost in ever-changing rainbow

Of vows and verses, undefined and scorned

Beyond belief, above the known tomorrow

Behind closed doors and losses never mourned

 

Remember now, this moment of forever

Its taste will linger longer than its sight

As our lives collide and sink together

This blissful minute will define your plight

 

I'll turn around and leave b...

Come and bring your life with you

Sing your song to me again

Drown me in your lies again

Try and tell me something new

 

I aged a lifetime tonight

I need to remember to breathe

You talk about the fight or flight

While wearing my heart on your sleeve

 

Wrap yourself in foolish fate

What you can do and what you won't 

What you know and what you don't

All the th...

Faith has melted away like the last year's snow 

Bared the roughness and rust of my heart's broken edges 

Stopped my time yet again but you can’t change its flow 

I could not hear the night through your vows and your pledges 

 

I am washing my soul and my heart clean off you 

I am soothing my wounds with uncanning forgiveness 

For the castles of sand that it's driven us throug...

To my sister

What lies ahead is not for sale
Be true, be strong but always fair
You might forget, you might not care
But never fool yourself 

Burn castles that we build on sand
Tear down the walls that will not stand 

And cry for every dream that failed 

Just never let it go 

I wish I could avoid mistakes
I wish I had all that it takes
To hide away your heart that breaks
And never let you go...

If Only

Away. Forgotten. Wrapped in time.

A wicked smile, fate's gestures, fading,

Unspoken words, not yours, not mine,

That cannot soothe the pain of waiting.

 

Far in the sea, up in the sky,

Stars look away like little sinners,

And life goes on, and life goes by,

A brand new day for the beginners.

 

And every spring the trees will grow,

And each and every day repeating,

The short stories we wrote 

With the best of intentions

Have restaged our ending

Intervened with the truth

We rehearsed our roles

And recounted with patience

Of my brief co-existence

Disappearing proof

 

Why would memory fail

Why would time have no meaning

When its healing has let me

Grow two lives into one

Our story is frail

Its last breath is beginning

It is so empty in the open 

The doors are shut. The windows closed. 

The keys misplaced, the lock is broken

The map is wrong, the stars are lost 

 

I've tried so many times to find you

I've leaped so often with no hope 

The faith that used to be so blinding 

Has been replaced with rope and soap

 

I have been told so many fables 

You have dispelled so many trut...

You parachute yourself into my mind, come morning

You slip right in, between the sheets and thoughts

Like snow I melt away while you, you keep on falling 

Your strings are tied to mine in myriads of knots 

 

The rules we break, keep changing every evening

Like outlaws we run and hide in secret nooks

I've lost my breath, time's lost its very meaning 

My hands are tied, rewri...

My rooms are empty in the open

I echo once forbidden thoughts

I hold the key but locks are broken

Cold drafts are sweeping off your words

The rubbish of a hopeful future 

Rolls down the broken staircase

Cracks in the walls let in the vultures

The ancient clock has lost its face 

 

Stains of regret took place of paintings

Which we hung close to someone's call

The co...

You are a demon in disguise

And if I were the one to choose

I'd never know that you existed

Then there'd be nothing left to lose

Then there'd be nothing left to miss

Then there'd be no more tears to cry

But if I were the one to choose

God knows I would still choose to try

 

You've masterminded my escape

And then you threw away the keys

I wish I never crossed your h...

So is this it? May I get sober? 

Are we untangled and undone?

Is this the end of what was over

Before the moment it begun? 

 

We almost tried and nearly made it

We barely reached the finish line

Is it the good in you that traded

A noble reason for a winning lie?

 

And you can give me many reasons

For how I’m not one of your toys

And how you saved me from your tr...

This cat is too poised to be soaked to the bone 

Stars tickle her paws as she tries to seem eager

There's always some milk left in some stranger's home

And she can be strong, but needs to be weaker

Rain, sins, hopes and vain roll off from that brink 

Where life's just a dog, and it howls to remember

The sighs of her June, the regrets of September

Can someone please offer a sea...
