Softness is to anger like what rain brings to snow, It melts away the bitter coldness

Flames burn creation to the ground, yet from its ashes you can create a glimmering diamond or fertile land

Finding hope in the hopeless is to believe, like what innocence is to dreams...

The rain hides away your tears

While the Snow embraces it

The sorrowful sadness is washed away by the rain

In small droplets, the tears cling to your chin,

But the rain will not allow this disobedience

That is how most people are,

They see your tears

But they quickly wipe it away

And they offer you short words of comfort

‘Things will get better.’ ‘Don’t worry’ ‘look at the bright side…’

And so...

Softness is to anger what rain brings to snow

All I’m left as is ice

Hard, cold ice

You made me melt

I was a snowflake

Falling

For you

Then you showed nothing but indifference

I tried

And tried

And tried

But no matter how hard

It was never enough

So I stopped

I stopped trying

Caring about you

I stopped loving you in the end

I was cold as ice

I was never going to fall for you again

Dedicated t...

Generally speaking this cup feels half full

But on some days it can seem real empty

Pushing even when instincts screams pull

Anxious thoughts in my mind are plenty

My loyalty to optimism becomes divided

Forgetting I came to disrupt the status quo

It is at this point that my soul is reminded

Softness is to anger what rain brings to snow

Dear friend you cannot fight fire with fire

Take a pa...

The heat of the day

Cools as the night sky dims

The chill of the evening

Deepens as the stars swim

The depth of the darkness

Lessens as the sky brightens

The twinkling stars shimmer

Until the rays lighten

The dark black edges

Of the sky turns deep blue

The orange and yellow brightness

Changes the sky’s hue

The softness changes the anger

Of the depth of the night

Like rain melts the snow

The sky...

On rainy days I write

But on snowy day it seems to write for me...

Softness is to anger

What rain brings to snow

An empathetic gesture

That makes a friendship grow

Anger is to heartbreak

What glass is to a frame

A barrier to prying hands

But insight all the same

Heartbreak is to courage

What burns are to deep wounds

A healer and a punishment

Maturity in bloom...

Softness is to anger what rain brings to snow

A melting, an opening, breaking through to what’s below

Kindness is to fury what a candle brings to ice

A chance at transformation, to undo and to think twice...

I say I know lofty heights but I’ve never known. compared to the braveness that sits upon the shoulders of your body, I am nothing.

you’ll tell me not to think like that but how can I not.

I’m not capable of being tough my heart is all I’ve got....

The coffee grounds spilled into the brew.

The dishes were not washed in time.

Those are the things that matter to you.

(Not that I made it home safe.)

I forgot to add cinnamon to the pie.

I changed the garbage, but not in time.

I went hungry while you got high.

(Did I mention I got another “A”?)

But I stumbled again, and fear for you to know.

Please remember that,

Softness is to anger what rain...
