Maa... Chee...

My scorched lips longed for water
Though they are distained for nectar…
My arid heart needed love
Though I am blessed with riches…
My eyes filled with tears
As my soul bled in life…
I loved and found
That I am not on his ground…
I scream in anger when he is near
I moan in pain when he drifts afar…
Yet my soul yearn
And my heart lovelorn…

My Defiance

Mountains stand majestic as life leaves to greener pastures
Heart stays stubborn as love moves afar
Is that pride that’s congealed in my blood…
That also frozen my tears???
Head held high I scream at fear…
You could take her away…
But you will never make me stumble and sway
