......what an adventure would it be,
      to be burnt by those
     who burn themselves.
Shysta Jul 2016
You'd laugh a sardonic laugh at the memory of us

and I-

  I would just let it pass

    With a heart full of sorrow,

          mortified by pain and regrets
        
     and nothing else

You see the haze
the mist the daze.
I KNOW

Unheeded is red green and blue
That's where you fall through.

You miss the color of  *life.

"So,whats your thing?"
I questioned as i gazed into his amber eyes
*(so tender so pure)

*waiting for an answer to revamp my world.




“I write”
Said he, a whispered proclamation.



"About what?"
I asked, hoping to be blessed by his utterance
to be blessed by his words





"I write about the rains
The pearls from heaven drooping down on the wandering souls
a pacific catastrophe


I write about the seas
A crystal sheath of calm, unveiling
not the length of life
but the depth of love


I write about people leaving
Painting my book with ink and thoughts as the dreadful picture
comes back to life.


I write about the murmur of air
Bearing with it a tale, a story
unheard.


I write about the sunrise
Spearing the eye with golden light
death and dark fleeing behind."




and then he stopped.



I dropped my subtle smile as he looked straight into my eyes.
Baffled by his gesture i looked down,to my trembling hands
only to be met by his eyes again.




and he said,



I write about you my love
Those sparkling eyes, that charming smile
That countenance full of life


It's your petty soul that thrills me
A soul I can

A thought so sudden, today I remember you
And I can’t help but miss you  -  miss us
Its like, its like the sun has dispelled from the horizons and the seas have given up,
And the flowers,
the flowers have shattered like our hearts  -  that broke.

I have concealed an entire ocean of feelings and emotions that i truly want you to know....
You were there with me,
''FOREVER WITH ME'', you promised (where are you now?)
You were the sole thing that kept me striving to move forward, to do better every time i fall.
You were the very blood in my veins that kept me alive and breathing...
You, you were my soul, my heart (oh god) my everything!
But i couldn’t tell you this...
I...I...just couldn’t tell you this.

It was my pride, my ego, I know, that broke us apart
I tried to change, i swear i tried to change my self but how could I change,
Change what's within my heart.

This was bound to happen, my friend, you left
Leaving me in this fathomless chasm where I'm breaking, I'm falling. I'm losing myself again.
In this forlorn land of trespassing lapse, I'm longing for you and your hand to hold.

It's a whirlwind of a feeling, (Trust Me)

I cannot forgive myself for this sin, I pushed you away.
I cannot breathe the regrets, I'm holding on to this day.
I could have asked you to stay,
stay, just a little longer.
We could have ridden the clouds, could have explored the rainbow after the storm
Could have been whole, together- US.
But i didnt,
(dont ask me why)
I just didnt.

Its far too late to ask for a version of your leaving
Its far too late, to ask you to care
But my beloved friend please,please just know
I wish you were here
**I wish you were here
To the friends, best friends I've lost. I'm sorry

and as i look back to my past,
all I see are the blurred silhouettes of
 memories
which were never ours
Sometimes you just need to put the past away and move on with your life

"Do not love half lovers
Do not entertain half friends
Do not indulge in works of the half talented
Do not live half a life and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent
When you speak, do so until you are finished
Do not silence yourself to say something
And do not speak to be silent
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse then be clear about it
for an ambiguous refusal
is but a weak acceptance
Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes
Half a drink will not quench your thirst
Half a meal will not satiate your hunger
Half the way will get you no where
Half an idea will bear you no results
Your other half is not the one you love
It is you in another time yet in the same space
It is you when you are not
Half a life is a life you didn’t live,
A word you have not said
A smile you postponed
A love you have not had
A friendship you did not know
To reach and not arrive
Work and not work
Attend only to be absent
What makes you a stranger to them closest to you
and they strangers to you
The half is a mere moment of inability
but you are able for you are not half a being
You are a whole that exists
to live a life not half a life.”
-Khalil Gibran
