I flee to the hill's quiet peak,
Gaze down where the depths unfold,
Knowing they could swallow me whole.

That knowing steadies my breath-
A whispered pact with the abyss,
A fragile claim to control.
whenever i feel like i've lost control, this is the way i redeem it

Ecstatic memories have gone blue
Clouded fragments pierce through
what is left of our love

is it gone...?

one look into her eyes
blinds me to the lies
even if i never had a say
could you stop my clouds from turning grey?

tell me is this really true
for i have found my heart again
i know you're acting, yet i care
for any love that is left.

tell me is this really you
for thunder spread out again
it flooded my brain until it drained
any love that was left

Turn deep blue’s bright yellow
Shape shift them like Jell-O
No more Mellow Mondays
With my Circular Fellows

Squares playing the Cello
Dimensions Wave Hello
New Motions with New Haze
Make my heart Bellow

No more Paydays,
No more Maydays,
I spend my Haydays–
Kaleidoscoping!

Let’s have a play-date,
So we can Cre-ate,
Galactic Colours and Shapes–
Kaleidoscoping.

I used to walk a grimy road
Where litter ruled with cobblestones.
A thick mad mush of plastic waste
Crushed the spirit of youthful buds,
Shielded all green from needed rain,
So no flower-tales could unfold.

No sooner than my latest wandering
Did I grasp this lifeless paste—
Its purpose is neither shine nor shimmer,
But to slow the flower’s blooming pace.

For no buds can bloom when the masses rule,
When their collective mind stains all with hate.
Express yourself more often;
don't let the Mad Mass Mush consume you whole!

When one loses grip
They must lower the bar just
To hang on to life

While ***** buzzes my brain,
I waddle and stumble but—
Pale palms meet my arms,
Shielding me gently.

Heavy tones dissolve,
Evaporate;
For it is her
Keeping me in place.

Her grip on my sleeves
Ignites no lust, but trust—
Time slows its ticking pace;
As her tender hands
Sink into my sweater sleeves,
Soothing, steady,
Making me stay.

I stumbled upon her—
Fell in love
Again.
Lukas Buijs Jan 31
Clueless she was,
Truly—

Her pearls in wonder,
Lacking attention.

None of her gazes
Meet my wandering mind.

For it was her,
The cause—

My worldview ponders,
Troubling affection.

Uncharted hazes
Seek to revise my life.

Desperate calls,
Futile—

We are no longer.

Guilty redemption,
Your teary razes
Made me perfectly blind.

Blind to what was left
Of our desired life.
