irinia
hear listen to the sound
of the crisp snow spinning the air
say hello where are you
say farewell to the old moon
while rivers are carrying their quiet darkness
and all the poems untouched
by emptiness
remake or retake
get drunk with lucidity
get high as the wind passing through
untold stories

irinia
he survives his story kept in boxes and knives
the dread of forgotten runes keeps him company
mother repression father night
emptiness surrounded by invisible walls
death a continent for the living

I am facing this vortex of muted music
with empty hands, despair and white hair
no solace for the unshed tears
everyday he tells me something
about nothing

You make
me
laugh
out loud
if thats not love
tell me
what is?

Bad
I loved who you were
when we first met
these days
you’re just a bad
impression
of me
Frances Raeburn Oct 2023
I can do almost anything
but
even for you
I cannot deliver the
morning
Frances Raeburn Oct 2023
are you the one?
you are singing the song
dancing the dance
talking the talk
walking the walk
you might just be in
with a chance
except
from the corner of your eye
I detect
a lie
Frances Raeburn Oct 2023
Your love
is a love without danger
a love that
will make me laugh out loud
forever
