The paper falls
I pick it up
place it down
it falls again

A familiar smell
Brewing from the orange sky.
A cup of tea.
Leaves start to dry.
Felt on me -
A breeze - so shy.

Point of view
set in stone—  initials
carved for one.

A barrel of seeds
set upon the crown
to be picked at,

and now the world
has, finally, leant me
its axis.

Goodbye

Ali
I kissed your tears,
while you dreamed of saying goodbye.

I tasted the salt of sorrow on your cheeks,
but still, you smelled like goodbye.

I held you with all my strength,
yet your heart leaned on goodbye.

I willed my trembling blood-soaked eyelids,
just to catch your fleeing smile hoping I'm wrong—
and still, your eyes on mine from afar, blinked goodbye.

And every night
I asked myself
The same question
"When will I stop thinking about you?"
And every night
Every answer
Silence

What happens to a flower left unpicked?


Can it feel?
Like a person does when left out?
Or is it unaware-
Like a confused child
Does it feel its neighbors absence?
Or just go on with life-
Like it doesn’t care


Maybe it just sways
Like the trees in the wind


Or does it feel?

I think I like them,
Dare I say 'love'?
Is that allowed,
Is that arrogant?
The way they think
The depths and dark
Their endless analysis
Their lone laugh.
God, the eyes...
Sometimes cheeky,
Sometimes blank
Stone-blue grief chasms
Flecks of menacing.
Im confronted
And comforted.
They stir me like
I've stirred them,
Both in survival
And in good will.
The way they talk with
Their hands, freed,
The way they cry
Whenever the need.
I like them, I think.
Hearing their wit
Tranquilising wisdom,
I want more and more.

Can you write me?
Can you write me a poem?
