A Mess of Words Aug 2021
She breathed in

Oxygen,

And exhaled

Nothing less than passion.
10w again

Loneliness

Sweeps rapidly

Over all these

Cobwebbed

Hopes and dreams
10w
A Mess of Words Aug 2021
Don’t resurrect my sins
To torment me

I’ve burned down
All my hopes and dreams;



I tremble in the dark
With weary heart and heavy sighs

For one day soon I must see
Either mercy, or justice, in your eyes;



I have failed
From my very first breath

And eternity looms
Just beyond my death.

You have left me,
My love,
With naught but words of scorn,
As your every step
Draws you further from me.

How far will you go,
Before you realize
Your tears have been falling?
Before you feel
The ache of this abandonment?

But I know you,
And I know
You chase perfection as a shooting star.
It lives but a moment
And burns into your heart;
And you dream more than I can give.

Now we are separated
By towering mountain ranges
That shimmer bright
From a hundred seasons of snow.
But even then
The lilies there are never silent;
They whisper in the winter night.

I still see your prints
Not yet buried under new snow.
You have gone
So very far away.
Though my heart
Never ceases its call,
I cannot you through the storm
Anymore.
A foolish Arirang interpretation. Arirang is a Korean folk song; almost a national anthem.

A smile of innocence

Is a most dangerous thing

It astounds the heart with joy

And makes the soul sing
A Mess of Words Aug 2021
Dozens of scars

Laid upon her arm;

Her smile

Sudden as dawn;

A fractured heart

Recovering;

A song that

Ever goes on.

Goodbye,
July.
See you again,
After June
Has been back in.
