Winter Complaints

The sun sets at 5pm

the clouds surround it during the day

winter is gloomy this July

oh July used to be sweaty

now luxury has made me petty

I wonder if having him would make it better

but your dawn left me soft again ya Rabb

and it gets lonely

this good life

I know I tire you with my complaints

but we made a deal

that I'll leave it all behind for you

and in return you'll exist

you'll exist in my universe and lend me your ear

but truth be told even I can't bear

my complaints

you make me such a romantic

I notice every moon rise, every sunset

all the intricate details of your work

and I want to weep

you make me a poetess

I carry my heart on my sleeve

yet you've made love

the bane of my existence

to fill the gaps

I spend my Sunday evenings watching romantic films

watching strangers fall in love is comforting

from my cold bed

but in real life

who wants to share a heavy heart

it's just the flesh they want

everywhere I go

I get looked at

like I'm cake

oh it's cold the male gaze

is it supposed to make me feel desired

or ashamed?

I wanted a strong hand to hold

But you've made them so cold

Snow

Jesus.

Light of my life.

Why did I keep chosing darkness over you?

..

But you kept choosing me.

Darkness was rose coloured

admired, watered, caressed as it flowered

But its torns slowly poisoned my skin. ..

I wilted away within

But God...But God

For the Millionth time.

What did you do Lord?

Turn me away?

Left me knocking?

What did you do?

Well; You said:

'Welcome Home Little One'

'I was always waiting'

'I found you'

'No matter how many times'

'I love you, trust me. I do'

'You have no absolute idea how much'

'My loving beautiful daughter'.

I couldnt comprehend what u said Lord

How could it be?

Look at my body and me Lord. I am poisoned. Dont you see?

Dirty and filthy.

'No.You are clean and white as snow to me'

'I Love you so much, Stay with me'

'Just Stay and you will see what I see'.

A wish

I used to think that to make life exciting I had to be out there among the people of the land dressed well and indulging but now I'm on the quest to find more there must be more within and without the constant yearning of desires

soak me in the marvels you have created my lord  allow me to witness your wonders that is all that I truly desire now
