train thoughts
LTJK Jan 2020
Thousand of words,
Circling, spinning around your hive.

Observing the bees,
Drawing the same patterns as mine,
Drawing the same shapes of my life.

Underlying equivalency,
Similarities and distance.

Far apart and yet so close,
An ever so pretty dance.

Back and forth,
Swept from bay to bay.

The oceans are yelling flood,
But still we seem like we got nothing to say.

Wine to close the gap of a train ride separation,
I wish regeneration of our former minds.

Crossing ways,
Spending days,
Exploring the beauty of a strangers brain.
little poem I wrote for a friend

I n these sleepless nights,
L ights guide me through the dark.
O ver the mountains we flew,
V anishing in one big spark.
E ternity promised at the shore,
Y earning for more,
O ld bones in new glimmer,
U nder the stars we start to shimmer.
D evoured by each others crave,
A pathy was never our grave.
R est your head on my chest,
L ose your best,
I mitation of yourself.
N othing is prettier than you,
G ather the fears that you grew.
i love you darling

Nervous Opener
LTJK Jan 2020
Shaking anxiously,
Refusing to speak.
Afraid to reveal myself,
Afraid to leak.
Scared and scattered,
Yet determined to escape.
My walls started to gape,
So quietly closing in.
Suffocate me,
Maybe I need to see the other side.
Another light,
Or maybe just something else than white walls.
Maybe when harmony falls,
I'll find truce in these words.

"Hello"
This is my first poem on here.. kinda scared of how it'll be received since I don't know what to expect, but this seems like lovely community!
Love and peace to everyone!

morning mourning
LTJK Jan 2020
shivering, aching,
bleeding words,
slivering, breaking,
realisation hurts.

times i've missed,
cut off tongues.
air as catalyst,
vacant lungs.
i still miss her,
too much,
too often.
