NEW YORK

Oh New York ! Oh New York !

When will I see you again

The memories have faded but those feelings remained from when our story began,

The misty eastern breeze touching past my face,

The smell of burning gas from the ford going at pace,

The wet streets, the smokey aisles,

the noisy kids you can hear from miles.

Oh New York I have felt you and let me feel you again.

I’ve felt the black, I’ve felt the white,

I’ve felt the snow of the winter night.

Central Park and morning dew,

A waiting line to taste the brew.

The cheap plays, the shiny lights,

The busy sidewalks every night.

Oh New York I dream of you everyday,

This poem will never be complete until I feel you again someday….!

Tried to write but the words won’t come,

tried to feel but I felt numb.

Tried to talk but no one would listen,

My own mind felt like a goddamn prison.

These dark thoughts keep haunting my head,

This emptiness making me wish if i was dead.

All I hear is my souls muffled screams,

echoing in my skull and in my dreams.

On my deathbed staring at the ceiling

this thought of leaving has left me with strange feeling.

With Every breath I take my soul leaves slowly,

and all the things I was afraid to do now seemed unholy.

but thank God I did them even if I was scared,

And now I can close my eyes with the memories of our time that we shared.

If you could feel just a fraction of what I do

You could not see the world so pointless

But rather some grotesquely beautiful creature

covered with needles

n.a.

Wether it’s the hope of love

The grief of love

The lesson of love

Or the regret of love

Once you have loved

It always remains

༄

You said you wanted all of me

So here I am

Darkness

Melancholy

Rage

Why are you walking away?

༄

You know what you’ve done

But to say it out loud

Is too brutal a reality

It would be suicide by honesty

And you are such a coward

༄

I remember a time when

I thought he would change

When I thought that my love

Would take his anger away

What a dangerous choice

I was willing to make

To sacrifice myself for a man

Who could never be saved

༄

When I look back at my life

I only recognize it for a moment

And then it’s gone

༄

I am so tired

It doesn’t matter how much I sleep

The sadness and worry

Are too heavy for me

And everytime I put them down

To breathe a sigh of relief

I hear the sound of fear and anger

Begin to slowly creep

༄

Poetry is my lover

She always let’s me in

To cry

To listen

To confess all my sins

She found me voiceless

Wishing my tears were diamonds

So that I could buy back some time

Her poems come out of my heart

My eyes

My mind

She is so soft

And she never leaves

Thank you

My sweet lover

Poetry

༄

Was this earth not created through chaos?

Our universe makes love with the clash

Creation is the child of collision

A galaxy of grief

Atom + Eve

Here because God simply said

BE

༄

With you

I am drowning

In despair

I breathe

Incurable sadness

Not air

༄

The day will still come

No matter how hard you close your eyes

The night will kiss the day goodbye

Painting colors in the sky

Welcome the darkness

Embrace the light

Don’t fight against the up’s and down’s of life

༄

If forever is a place

I hope I go there with you

But I know that heaven will sigh

When you arrive with tears in your eyes

Wishing you could face the fire

Just to bring me too

༄

The truth is

I am ordinary

This realization is equally painful

As it is liberating

༄

I have waited long enough to feel you, the animal inside me has become restless since the day I saw you.

let me unleash my darkness onto you, take you, pull you in and devour you.

The loneliness of Poets…

Tanya Luca

“I seek love, yet I hide from it when it reaches out.

I seek the warmth of a lover but cower when it surrounds me.

I seek the words laced with honey but accept those filled with poison.

I seek eyes filled with adoration but find an empty space in front of me.

I seek someone in my sheets, my hands roaming to find someone, but only stumble upon blankets and cold sheets.

I seek a smile but find myself drowning in tears.

I seek a life filled with love but find myself running away when it finds me.

I wish upon the stars to find what I am seeking to find me before I yield and cower again.

I pray there comes a day where I’ll stumble upon all the things I yearn for and that the warmth, the smile will grab me with so much strength that I will have no choice but to accept it with everything in me.

Because for once, I’ll allow the love I run away from to fill me up with everything I wished upon the stars, and for once, I’ll smile without any fear.

It’ll look me in the eyes and tell me that what I had been seeking was just waiting for me to accept myself and be free of the chains.

The smile and the crinkle beside their eyes will tell me that I was everything they too were seeking for, and they were glad we found each other in a place that had no place of running away.

I seek for you, and I pray you also seek for me.

I wish upon the stars that when we find each other, it will all be enough.

Because baby, you’re all my wishes upon the stars.”
