Mona - Hello Poetry

A thought that persists
And deviates too much towards sanity,
That it's in a right angle
With my ever present morality.

Strong sense of grounding
Pulling me towards the roots of gravity,
And whisks my neck,
But I'm too immune to spontaneity.

Am I too right-handed
In my right side brain and my frivolity,
And when I gravitate,
I fall too fast from the towers of insanity.*

Oh don't mind me.

Yesterday's Tomorrow

And here we are in yesterday's tomorrow,
Meeting the runway with our brows furrowed.

The crumbled clothes we ironed for a long night's sleep,
And the out of tune vibrations we sang with our knees.

We drenched the sheets with inflammable imagination,
And the early aroma of the sun set fire to our expectations.

So here we are in yesterday's tomorrow,
With the near future's dreams to borrow.

We bring out the suits that the fire didn't ruin,
Because nine o'clock always comes way too soon.

And soon enough the clicking sound of our shoes on the pavements,
Will leave no further room in our mind for that fantasy fragrance.

Welcome to yesterday's tomorrow, yes the timing is impaired,
Empty both your hands, never come to this day prepared.

The Edge of Never

Currents swept away the thin material of her heart,
Veins torn in their scandalous confession,
The elope of time with the tainted arms of every clock,
Now the elements are blindly following in their succession.

Shivers danced along the valley of her spine,
From her peripheral view, a growing gap between the earth and the sky,
A marionette to the soles of her of unknowns,
She twirled and twirled till the obscured horizon was in front of her eyes.

The highest of mountains detached from their roots,
The drawbridge to the poorly paved past drowning in mist,
Only was it in the latest hour to be alive,
Did she realize that another world - hindered by the present - did exist.*

She Left Him on A Monday

He'd count the fish
Swimming in his bathtub,
Drink liquid colors
From his painting cup.
Thought his windscreen wipers
Could wipe the sky,
When rainy days
Would take him off his high.
He'd add more sand
To his hourglass,
When he felt his
Weekends go by fast.
And take one bite from his apples,
Leave then till they went rotten,
His grip on sensibility
Long forgotten.
Mondays, he'd turn off the lights
For the whole day,
Praying he was just inanimate.
The day she went away.
He believed she was the one
Who made all the days restart,
So he'd walk on cat tails
Aiming to break her heart.

Aftermath

No one wants to be crowned "Coward",
But the rusty taste that colors
your tongue after saying too much,
Is not a flavor one wants to have for dinner, either.

The jump that broke your bones,
For just a second, your mind was intoxicated,
And left the control panel to your heart,
But the aftermath is what shall linger and stay.

Maybe it's not about courage,
Maybe it's more than a closed-eye moment of bluntness,
Maybe you like the interior design of your mind,
And you want to stay there with no intruders.

For Once

Darling, if only for once,
Let me breathe into your fog,
Clear it with my forearm,
Make a poem out of your wrongs.

For once, let me meet your am's,
The earthquakes of your dreams,
I'll lean my head on your shoulder,
And let our demons come clean.

Invite me into the forest of your thoughts,
We'll find on oak tree to hide behind,
Confess how you want to run,
Before the sun of sanity sets in your mind.

If only for once, exclude me of your rules,
Let me read all your unspoken's,
I promise to be the granules of sand,
That mend your glass house when it's broken.

And when you open your gates,
I'll remember to fetch a pencil with me,
To sketch yourself in my eyes,
And hang on every wall the image I see.

Time with you has made me learn,
Never to ask for much,
So with no hope nor expectations,
I ask you to let me in for once.*

Ophelia

The water has a sound,
I've only heard
when I was by myself.
It tells a secret
The way the circles
Form and swirl.

Just for a moment,
I never knew you.

And never tasted
Disappointment all too soon.

These vast acres,
Remind me of days,
When it was just me.
The sprinklers
Would cry
And I would run free.

Just for a moment,
The weight elevated.

And matters of life
and death were left to fate.

But the sun lied to me,
When I looked at the surface,
I only saw the break of day.
I kept searching and searching
But I never did
Find my face.

Just for a moment,
I was never here.

The earth revolved easier,
The sky had less tears.

Only that tree
Shall mourn my loss
When I echo off of the rope.
The moon can take
Where I left off,
As my heart shall soak.

Just for a moment,
You won't think of me.

From this soundless world,
I wish you can find peace,
Under the same tree.*
