Palm to Palm

When I talked about rarity;

Baby I meant synchronicity.

Or how the universe

And all the forces governing it

Had set this frienship.

I meant the swirling of fate

Janus opening the gate;

To reveal something

Our old souls may have

Perceived for light years now.

The lines on your palms;

Resembling the lines on mine;

How could they be the same?

Fascinatingly intertwined secrets;

Throbbing from a distant past.

Waiting to be unravelled;

Now that we had a glimpse;

Felt how centuries transcended;

How our souls are interconnected;

By some sacred thread.

An enigma waiting to be unearthed;

This friendship is a rarity.

It's more than just compatibility.

In an eerie sense, I could hear;

A scream reverberating.

Across the ages;

Illuminating our faces;

Binding us palm to palm;

Engulfed in euphoric warmth!

Pen and paper

If you were a paper;

I wanna be the pen.

We'll write together

Stories that never end.

See how the past and present

In their glory transcend.

We'll move lives, you and me

Together for eternity!

-Stormykatie

Someday

Tripping in and out;

In the verge of sanity.

I spread my arms;

Cherish you in my heart.

Though I'm not always sane;

A weirdo jumping out off a train.

I'll kiss you goodnight;

Hold you tight;

As I let my mind slip away

To sullen places;

Remember faces;

Contorted in grief.

Just let me skip;

The light from within you.

Trust that I'll find you

When this storm is through.

One day it will pass;

And I'll be fine again.

The sun will rise again;

To light your way.

Believe me when I say;

Someday I'll stay.

-Stormykatie

Happy Endings

Return to my arms;

Make your heart believe for once-

In happy endings!

-Stormykatie

Spreadsheet

It makes sense now

As I feel the warmth

Of my blood gushing-

An endless wave

Of emotions rushing

Through my head

A spreadsheet

Displaying my web-

Of thoughts

It makes sense now

As I feel the throbbing

Of wounds aching

All over my body

A Niagara of pain

Killing me all over

Still I pick the glass

Scattered on the floor

And try to put somehow-

My pieces back together.

-Stormykatie

Muse

Are you my muse now?

I crafted an art for you;

While I'm bleeding hard!

-Stormykatie

Falling Tear

Ignite my fire dear

Let my old passions stir;

Catch my falling tear!

-Stormykatie

When Standing is not Easy

I have to stand when standing is not easy

For when it is, what joy is there to feel?

I need to have faith when the tide is against me

Who knows one day it'll succumb to my will?

My eyes have seen how the waves cruelly tumbled;

In this world, the weak's always the first to crumble.

You would not live long if you are not capable;

Of picking yourself up each time you stumble.

The path to success is never plain;

It is never lenient; never tame.

It's rather dreary, truculent and rough;

Those who could tread it are the brave and tough.

And so I've sworn not to quish when I fall;

To bend, to roll but never to crumble.

To shudder, to bleed but never surrender;

I'd fight till I win- a determined soldier!

Even the wind tries to blow me down;

I get up patiently, a knight so gallant.

Even the storm tries to smash me down;

I struggle fearlessly, a heart so valliant!

I will always stand when standing is not easy;

I will walk straight and sturdy as can be.

I will not give up when the tide's against me;

Soon it will bow and succumb to me in my victory!

Ocean of Secrets

Oh, but her heart dear

Will always be an ocean;

Of buried secrets.

-Stormykatie

Window

A place to behold;

The snow as it falls.

A refuge to the lonely;

Somewhere to catch cold.

For me it is a border;

Parting me from you.

Oh beloved stranger;

I watch you from here.

Not wanting to interfere;

My gloomy soul tries;

To make sense of it all.

This window is a wall;

Preventing hearts to collide.

Behind it, I hide;

All my yearnings inside.

-Stormykatie

I don't need a cartograph to locate you. You're already here, in my mind.

Always have been, forever will be.

Katie, 24:00

Even my demons stop to listen; savor the cadence of your voice rhyming with my heart, like I finally found the missing line of my unwritten poem.

-Unwritten poem,

Katie, 22:00

You have the right to remain silent

You have the right to remain-

Oh heart

The law isn't wrong

But you followed the song

Telling you

To spill it all out

All of it

Like water

And drowned him

In a stream

Of confessions

You could have just stored

Inside

Let them boil down

With the cold truth

Memories you don't remember

Forgetting

Now the flashbacks

Are coming too fast

A dizzying speed

Of moments in polaroid pictures

//

His face floats

On the mess

Of stark honesty

Breaking free

From your mind

Why did you say

You love him

Like you could hold on

To this promise

Forever

Why did you say

You care so much more

Than anyone will ever do

Why did you say

You are scared

To lose him

In the crowd

Scared he will

Let go of your hand

And be swallowed

By the fiasco

Why did you say

You will try

You will try to remain

Bounded by the things

That made you, you

Once upon a time

When the world

Was warmer

Than it feels now

Like Pleistocene is here

Playing on repeat

Making you cringe

From a touch

You used to like

So much

//

It's weird

How your life

Became so messy

Well honestly

You could have

Remained silent

Intact with your soul

But you flowed

With the raging current

And told him

At first instance

About the chaos

All those moments

No one

Would care to listen

//

You have the right to remain silent

Yet heart, you talked

//

You have the right to remain

Yet heart, you fled

//

You have the right

Yet heart, you waived it

//

You have (it)

Yet heart, you lost-

Everything

Now all you got

Is the mess

Of collected

Confessions

About how you used

To feel about him

These of course

Are just phantoms now

Frightening you

Even more

Making you hide

Behind the veil

Of repressed memory

An escape plan

Time devised

To free you

From the horrors

Of the past

-An honest mess,

(It is right to remain silent)

Katie, 16:30

How can you cry

When all your tears

Solidified

Into rocks

Cold

Immovable

Numb

Like his heart

That was never meant

To be yours

From the start

Katie, 13:0

Someday, you will fall in love. And it's not going to be the feeling you've grown accustomed to. Those years filled with wild butterflies? Bouquet of roses? Spark in the eyes? All sweet nothings that send you to cloud nine? No, it's not going to be that. Your next love story will be a mess. A total mess. As if a tornado has passed and disarranged everything in your life. And you will begin to question all that you ever believed in.  You will begin to weigh what's worth your time and what's not. But you will be strong. This kind of love will make you strong. It will cause you to scream at the top of your lungs in the middle of the night when you have nothing left to give. It will make you doubt every promise that has ever said in the name of passion or commitment. You will uncover lies under beautiful flashes of skin and smiling faces that look like a dream. It will make you cringe against a gust of wind coming from an open window. It will make you bleed. But it won't leave you weak. It will make you strong. And you will appreciate it more than anything in this world. The moment this kind of love finds its way to your heart, you will be the bravest woman ever lived. All because you will be able to handle it.

-Not your usual love,

Katie, 18:00

I don't wanna close my eyes when we kiss. For even the briefest moment of not seeing your face makes me miss you,

So much...

Katie, 24:00

Like the snow,

The rain,

And the shooting stars,

You will fall for me

Deeply

Irrevocably

Mark my words

-Destined to fall

(Mark my words)

-Katie, 15:30

I write about the rain, the silence and the night. I write about thousands of beautiful things that remind me of you.

Beautiful things remind me of you,

Katie, 21:00

Do you know where your faith lies?

If it's on things, luck or men, honey you're on your way to fail. Put your faith not on things that don't last, not on luck that is elusive, not on men who come and go as they please.

Put it on yourself. You alone can make a difference in your life. You alone can paint back the rays of sunshine in your eyes. Have faith in you, in yourself. Only then that you'll feel the winds of fortune blow in your favor.

Of faith,

Katie, 12:00

Now that I've told you,

Told you what you mean

To me

I can go...

Go where my pains walk

A one way street

Disappearing into

The dark undertow

Of swirling emotions

That drag me below

I can't swim

To the surface

For the weight

Tied around my feet

Is too heavy

I can't speak

For the lump

In my throat

Is bigger

Than my fear

Of being lost

With the miasma

Surrounding me

I am glad

I was bestowed

With a chance

To tell you

Something

I felt a long time ago

I love you

Now that you know

Heard from my lips

That you mean

The universe to me

I can go

Flee with the night

To somewhere

Your heart

Cannot follow

For it's cold

And my heart

Freezes December over

As it dies

With the sun

I can't warm you

So stay

Stay right here

Where the stars shine down

On your face

And wrap you

With the sweet

Confessions of love

I bravely spilled

Oh, I hope

What we had is enough

To sustain you

Until fate decides

To send me home again

To you...

-Where the stars shine down,

Katie, 23:15
