You cant keep running from the past

Nor running after it

Abandon it where it belongs

The past where no one sees it

Quatrain By Maria Yousuf

Summer flowers worn and faded

Fake and overrated

Forgotten and vanished

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

A moment, a fabric

Torn out of aged summers

And old promises made

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

A single word of appreciation goes a long way

It can be the commencement

For a new start

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

I want to go the whole way

See it to the end which is the top

You've invested hope in me, shown me not all is lost

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

My radar beeps as you approach

Time to go

Its you, me and lots of doors to unlock

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

My Gallery exhibits how you've aided me

Paintings of read and black of suffering and fright

White and gray of leaving me cold without a light

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

You are a phoenix, reborn from your own ashes

Ashes of your burnt agony and pain

Ashes of your stranded soul, bruised and stained

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

The top is always abandoned to be taken

Left for you to set ladders of limits to

Vacant for occupation, empty for you

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

Had the world been in black and white

It'd be a canvas empty of light

A view with bleak vows and limited sight

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

You can pretend to turn your back on me

But I'll know its because you care

You teach me lessons I've never learnt before

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

Light that lantern

Reflect what guides

Be the mirror of an image thats right

Help and pitch in the #iansomerhalderbdayproject

http://the-vampirediaries.com/ian-somerhalder-birthday-project/

Let this be my first step to success

Be my first path to my destination

First challenge that I'd conquer

First triumph that I'd cheer

Let this be it

Maria Yousuf

It is a picture, surreal and perfect

Created in the mist of your dreams

Waved into life by a magical hand

Its not out of reach

That's what you must understand

Maria Yousuf

Its not the many faces you see

Its one with many colors

You are capable of everything

Its your choice what to reveal and what not to

Whom to show and whom not to...

Maria Yousuf

My heart wrenched hearing the words you said

I spun around in the rain soaked and stained

I watched you walk away, turn your back on me

With tears I knew I couldn't see

Maria Yousuf

Don't strand me in the storm,

Walk away from the promises you made

Don't walk away from who you were,

Strand me among lightning, thunder and rain

Maria Yousuf

.:Soaring Eagle:.

You can't be ugly with a heart like that

Can't be insignificant with love like that

Can't be broken with strength like that

Hold on to that beauty

Don't let fright break you

Don't let words bring you down

Pull through and show how you soar

Hold on and be the headstrong person you are

Break the surface that keeps you down

I know your spirit

Its time you show the world who you are

Let go, pull through and soar the skies

Its yours to explore

Yours to reach out to

And yours to conquer

Be the Soaring Eagle you are...

You can touch my soul's tune

Strum on a harp's strings

And whisper into a flute

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

I can also walk away and not care

But the humanity in me refrains me

From being so oblivious to other's need

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

Let me paint your life

With colors I hold

Show you secrets whispered and told

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

There will always be a boulder blocking your path

If you try to remove it

You will learn that its nothing more than rubble

Haiku By Maria Yousuf

Are you here to laugh at me?

Was I your joke?

Peek-a-BOO!

The jokes on you

Because I wasn't fooled

Maria Yousuf

Its better written than spoken

Better read than told

Emotional shades and hues remain hidden
