Letter to my soul mate
We are bound both physically and spiritually
It is like we are of the same breath, one heart
You are all that I am
...

Honestly I am afraid of love
For I have seen what it does to man
But the pain of being alone haunts me
Again your wisdom calms my fear
...

Tears of a weeping lover

When did I lose you my love
How did my world fall apart
...

...

How much growing older has made me younger
For I cherish what I have more than what I want
True age brings maturity and wisdom
For through life you get to learn what you already know, YOURSELF
...

Should I keep my feelings for you hostage
Or should I hold myself to ransom
What you have done to me is unforgivable
You have touched my heart and moved my soul
...

Dear honored friend

Your name says it all
Truly you are a gift but not just to me but to us all
...

Even thou you have rejected my love let me love you still
Can you allow me to stay in this moment till I find my heart again
Let me cry these tears so that I do not drown in my heartbreak
Words I never said can I now shout them to you
...

I felt choked and I was suffocating
Everything just felt heavy
My lungs just lost all the oxygen I had stored in them
Who would I trust if not myself
...

Do you remember the promise you made to me
Do you remember what you asked me to do
Do you remember what you made me do
Do you remember what you were thinking
...

Do you see me cry without tears
Have you been hearing my silent scream
Are my wounds invisible to you
Can you not taste my pain
...

Your humility makes me awe at you
Thus I respect you whole heartedly
This virtue makes you wise and mature
You are like the shade of a great tree
...

I have seen them do great deeds
And I have seen them inspire multitudes
And they were called mighty and great
But they are not you
...

This would be and is, my honest answer
Your persona excites me
I yearn to see you again
I cannot stop thinking about you
...

Everyone knows this secret except for you
And I wanted you to know this truth and not everyone
Even thou they know it they cannot take it
But I think you know my secret
...

She wanted me all her life
She loves me more than she loves herself
Sacrificing herself for me has always been her way
She told me I am her best
...

I still remember how it feels
To fall in love with you
For I am not in love, alone
This is love my love
...

It does not scream at you but you will hear the music
It does not shout at you but you will hear its voice
In its silence it roars
Even the deaf can hear the African beauty
...

I think I have hated you more than I have loved you
For I have loved you from a distance
All I ever wanted was for you to be happy
I was afraid of hurting you
...

Words

The words we speak
The words we write
