You picked my petals.
One
by
One.
And I let you,
thinking… I had won.
Truth be told,
before you finished with my petals…
You were already
done.

Pardon Me
strength with an iron will
doesn’t make this pill
any easier to swallow
down, even with water
it’s still stuck in the gut
-ter of my thoughts
that I can’t wash out
so pardon me,
while I scream and shout
this is not what I want
Kyoko W.P.
once was war
just like all the debris,
left from the storm.
it’s up to you
to clear that path,
and make a way-
where there once
was war.

Forget me Not
So I’ll sit here with my tears
Because you’re upset by things I can’t control
You must’ve grown tired of it all these years
Everything must’ve taken its toll
I don’t blame you either I know I’m a lot
But don’t let me disappear,
Please,
Forget me not

Liquid Gold
I don’t want to fall to pieces
I don’t want to come unglued
I’ll keep my breaks and scars bonded:
Liquid gold tattooed
And when the scars begin to bleed
I’ll try to think less of you
The gold in place to remind me that,
I
am
free…
That, I have been renewed

Emotional Storm
After the storm,
There’s a stillness to the air
A chaotic calmness resonating
A weathered warmth
and hostile hush

The Warmest Touch
This air is cold
And still I melt
You’ve got the warmest touch
I’ve ever felt …
In my entire life

Big Feels Book on Amazon
Tomorrow my book will officially been on the market a full month. I’d love to sell a few more before then!
Big Feels: I feel too much
Stillness
Standing in stillness
I observe the world
Spiral around me
Faster and faster
I behold life moving
I’m just a witness
Motion sickness
Hit me with a quickness
But I’m still …
standing in the stillness

Piece of Art ( Kinsugi)
Every word is a memory.
Each a punch in the gut,
a crack in the heart.
But these wounds
somehow craft me
into a new piece of art.
Kyoko W.P.
Masterpiece
Often times you have to break
Pick up the pieces through the heartache
Gather and take
those parts to put them together and make
It’s time to create
And elevate
The masterpiece
that you
are

Won’t See You Again
The fog has lifted
My spirit shifted
I once was gifted
But now I don’t know,
how
to talk to you
Cause it was easier then
Back when
We were younger with discipline
stronger voice within
And now the story’s old
Nothing left to be told
I’m getting on the road
Won’t see you again
So this it then
It’s been real friend

The Fog
The fog is thick and dense
Of what’s in front,
you can’t make sense
Yet I still reach for your touch
Even when I can’t see much
But I can still feel you
And I can still see you
The fog is lifting now
Things getting clearer out
I can finally see your face
All the fog has begun to break
I can feel you
I can see you
Through the dense air
See your wavy hair
I’d walk blindly to get to you
But it was clear
And you were near
To feel you,
there’s nothing I wouldn’t do
Yes the airs been thick
But we’re always quick
To find our ways
And I can see you
And I can feel you
Kyoko WP
Predator
It doesn’t matter
how many years have passed
I can still feel you choke me
I can still feel your grasp
your grabs and your grip
Fighting my screams
by biting my lip
You tossed and threw me
like rag doll
You behaved like a predator
ready to maul
I closed my eyes until it was over
The shame and the pain,
the full – body exposure
I’ll never forget
but I’ll always long for
closure
Kyoko WP
Like you
I did not find you first
But I looked and I searched
And somehow I found you
in this immense universe
The skies turned black
Your eyes so blue
Of all
the stars shining
None shine
quite like you
I may not have been
a part of your past
But I wish
to always
be your
last

With Grace
What if I decide,
not to be afraid…
But to embrace
the adventure
with grace,
not fear
on my
face
Kyoko W.P.
Still Standing
I am like a tree,
at the end of autumn.
The branches,
like my bones,
are bare,
exposed and vulnerable
But still standing
And despite the cold,
and blows of gust
I’m still standing
……. I am strong
Kyoko W.P.
With Gold
I am, but a sensitive soul
Living in a world of fear and control
Feeling every motion push and pull
Lately, it feels, it’s taken a toll
I can feel myself start to unravel; unroll
But I won’t grow cold
Oh, no
My cracks are filled with gold 💛🖤
Your Souls Engraving
I’ve always craved a sense of belonging,
Never felt I was one to fit in
Always trying, Always fawning
But then I met you, goosebumps on my skin
It was you I had been craving,
It is you whom I belong,
Your souls engraving,
On my Soul, like a melodic love song
Tender Love
Your love is something new,
So tender
My body had no choice but to completely surrender
Itself
To You
It’s like nothing in my life
I’ve ever felt
So I’ll stay here in this moment
And melt
Away
With you
