YOU WERE

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
You were
A different world
A different time
A different song
That did not rhyme

You were
A passing thought
A passing glance
A passing shot
Without a chance.

SPOTLIGHT

~ Che ~ Leave a comment

Some people are full of lies. Once you see through them, they start running. Because their only true super power is their ability to lie and to cover up their lies. Once you have or develop the kryptonite to this power, they run away from you.

YOUR FLOWER

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
Run down your Friends List
Run up your memory quest
Run through your heart first
You will find the same flower
In your happiest and saddest hour
And that flower is your power.

I WISH YOU WELL

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
Though you hurt me
I wish you well
I pray that true love
Lift you where you fell
I pray that God’s Light
Illuminates your heart
I pray that good things
Line up your travel chart
And may it be well with you
In everything that you do.

TIME WILL TELL

~ Che ~ Leave a comment

Time is such a strange thing. We always forget how long it is. One day you will change and you will look back and ask yourself Why. Why did I do that? Why did I not do that? Why did I say that? Why did I not say that? Why. Was it really worth it?

If it was, you will know and you will be happy. If it wasn’t, you will know and you will be sad.

But only time will tell you what your heart is still too blind or too stubborn or too immature to see today.

BROKEN RHYME

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
When trust breaks
The universe shakes

The heart aches
And aches and aches
And aches…

Because the poem has lost what it takes
To ever rhyme again.

MARCH TOWARDS APRIL

~ Che ~ Leave a comment

So many things ending in my life this month, as March ends. And so many things starting. Looking forward to April. Is my heart big enough to contain and bear it all? Yes, my heart is always big enough. And when it isn’t, it simply grows some more, grows again.

Aries, as ever, you end the old and bring the new. For me, to me, in me.

AFTERMATH

~ Che ~ Leave a comment

It took me a while to acknowledge and accept the betrayal. And the permanent change. It is what it is. But now that I have, I have. Now, we can successfully pretend, together and apart, that it never happened; and that we were never that close. Now the bond is broken. The intimate bond of trust.
