I know not how my heart felt
When I’m anywhere near you
My rapidly depleting health
Was invigorated each time I set my eyes on you
I signed a peace treaty with my inner demons
And you’re the reason behind the ceasefire
I became friends with the demons of darkness
Embracing the darkness lurking in the shadows
The raging ocean was calmed by your presence
The violent wind synchronized with your graceful steps
The radiant sun copied your smile
The tall trees bowed to welcome you in.

I found love in the most unlikely place

It was trapped in a bottle drifting aimlessly on the ocean
I caught love with a fisherman’s net
I uncorked the lid and purest of love hit me in the face
A letter from the ancient times
Curse words written in cursive
I found it amusing to read
Words so foul yet profound
A story of love and regrets
Of trust and betrayals
Decades of lies and deceits
Written on a single piece of paper
I’m just a drunk poet sailing through the turbulent winds of life
But I found solace in the arms of a singing demon
A treasure buried and forgotten in the island of no return
An incomplete heart about to be made whole
I am not who I once was
So I came to make things right
And free your soul from its obsessions
And save innocent sailors from needless shipwrecks
