Petals of that yarrow You gave me that night Faded in sorrow; Crave left its place to white. A white with no fears Leaves the bird crying, Soaking wet with tears, Even though it's dying. No healing in the petals No comfort in the bone As the dust slowly settles On a heart turned into stone

Petals in White
In my dream, I saw myself in your eyes where cold waves hit your shores. I saw peace while lying down on your golden sands. I saw us in the warm night, breathing the same sweet air. When I was awake, I spent my nights drunk without a single sip; just thinking about you was enough to make me high. I wanted so much: to touch your stars in that warm night, to drown in your cold ocean gaze, to feel your breath on my face, to hold your hand tightly forever. I was so blind to see things in front of my sight, when your smile burns every little piece of mine. I lied; lied to that child who is innocent and foolish. I lied to him every night: "Someday, she will see the same dream as you." After a long dream, the child has opened his eyes; opened the innocence that held his eyes closed. I can't stand how foolish I was, when I finally see you have your own dreams— dreams where i have no place. I hate to know I wasn't really there for you; while your eyes saw me your heart not. And I looked at her one last time with a smile, as if looking at my executioner. In sorrow, knowing that the dream ends, knowing I can't ever feel your embrace... What a fool.

Smiling at My Executioner
The howling hollow Is deep in sorrow, Chained in my heart. Your absence is narrow, Embrace of an arrow Stuck in my heart. When the endless tomorrow Comes and makes the rain swallow Every empty feeling in my heart. If you stand in fear of shadow, Never scared to borrow A place in my heart. A dark crow landed in willow, Hunts the shadow under abandoned yarrow, Until the blood flows in my heart.
