On a pedestal he lifted her- wanting to keep her safe, his actions kind- yet wrung her heart, a tattered noose hung her in place. Her lips severed tightly, bound and clasped to wait; his dark clouds soon to dissipate, she hoped- willing not to be late. Sitting on the precipice, feet dangling loose; unsure […]
My heart is yours yours is mine, combined they float through the stars; igniting cosmos bringing life, creating magical, sparks. You are mine and I am yours, my heart my love my evermore; entwined stars, bright we are, twirling, embracing, singing hearts; our voices whispered echoes, explode in a quiet corner in our universe. We […]
In a fleeting moment I thought, ‘what if?’- could it be true- like a lovers kiss? Like a cloudless sky on a starry night- like wave-free seas in thunderstorms; but, a cyclone chasm- filled my breaking heart, willing it to rise to just rip it out- enjoying the tension as it flays my seams, digging […]
How things bled when you left When you left, a hole just grew An empty carcass, misused Buried in the depths of you. A bleeding never to subside But carry on as a river flows The absence of you overwhelms As this deepest chasm grows. Hours stall as minutes freeze Through windows pane, I search […]
burnt is the candle which you fed left in the shadows the tears we shed holding to nothing ashes left swept in the darkness we bled. ~ Copyright ©yikici. 2014
You left me, without a fight You left agreeing, this was right I watched you leaving I dare not chase For I know It’s not my place You’re crying You don’t want this But we both know This’ not promised bliss I forced this To do right…not wrong But how do we know If this […]

My love My heart Why did we part..? Your soul I feel, each day Drifting An echo of you, permanently etched My heart, disjointed No ignited spark Left in leaves (winds scatter away) Forever floating Amidst your sea Forever lonely Even in dreams… ~ Copyright ©yikici. 2013 *Image sourced from: DeviantArt.
As promised when I started this blog, here’s the first of my poems I wrote whilst a young adolescent (read my about page for more information); I am still unsure about sharing the actual images of the page it was written on, so I will not, until I decide otherwise (actually, please let me know […]
It’s mine to tell (This secret of mine) But I’d rather keep it all inside. So I hide. I hide in corners of unused trails, Away from mainstream -Tucked in side-streets, Dusted paths, no one to greet. I walk alone, Strength my home -it’s who I trust When my sail’s at full mast. Ivory, silk […]
Unsuspectingly it all began By the gentle lull of your hand Scribing words of worlds divine Invoking emotions which lay sound Caressing minds and souls …Just I…the one you own Enchanted by your inner beauty Your heart called out, claiming me completely No questions asked We both knew Universes conspired for us two An astral […]
