Why Do I Fear

Day 69

Fear, dear lord the fear!

Overtaking my senses.

Consuming my saneness.

How do I overcome it?

How do I remain calm?

Teach me to stop stressing,

And quit overthinking.

With deep breaths of air,

I try exhaling out my dark fears

What is the cause of this weakness?

When I have been brave before.

Guess only I can save myself,

From these unreasonable

Bouts of fear.

I Miss You

Day 67

I miss you,

When I look at the radiant full moon,

I miss you,

When I turn around and not find you by my side.

I miss you,

Thinking of the jokes you cracked to make me laugh.

I miss you,

Upon learning how easy you make my life.

I miss you,

in the emptiness of my room.

I miss you,

Every time I close my eyes.

The tears never seem to dry,

Come back soon the love of my life.

Eyes of a Stranger

Day 64

Those wide eager eyes,

Relentlessly peering into mine,

Tirelessly seeking for answers,

From the depths of my soul.

I look warily

Not giving away so easily

There’s uncertainty and reluctance

So to hide the brimming emotions

I blink and look away.

The Unrequited Love Poem

Day 40

I love him dearly.

In the depths of his eyes,

A sea of knowledge and an emotion of kindness.

His praises for Chardonnay spilled with delight.

History, books and literature were all he desired.

I looked at him longingly and gave him all my attention.

Not once did I miss his classes of European Literature.

He always smiled at me and my heart fluttered with joy.

But he looked at me like he looked at everyone else.

Soon days of college came to an end.

And never did I see him again.

If only..

Day 28

If only the mind had simple thoughts

Then life wouldn’t be in a troublesome state of affairs.

The greed and desires are many

They never seem to come to an end.

Utter helplessness leads to a fear

Of being consumed

by yet another cloud of dark sadness.

Forlorn

Day 21

It’s hard to smile.

A feeling of emptiness.

Tears gather to the eyes.

An unknown fear.

There’s something amiss.

I cannot put my finger on it.

A dark night of the soul.
