Weeping willow tree
Bending over the water
Not sad just thirsty

I wear makeup to work,
So people treat me better.

I work with fish.
I get covered in slime.
I don't make tips.
(Not that, that is acceptable)
I have a fiance.
I'm off market.
I'm not there to impress anyone.

No makeup.
I'm ignored.
My credentials are questioned more.
They pick fights.
They behave poorly.

With makeup well,
I only have to deal with one creepy person.

I wear makeup to work,
So people treat me better.

It's strange
How we went
From talking forever,
To rarer,
To never.
To all the old friends.

In this constant state
Of hollow emptiness
I long.....
For a messy chaos.

Why am I me?
I had a chance
to turn into many
But why did I get
stuck with me
this version,
there are so many bugs
I am always lagging
behind
Often I freeze midway
I am seldom muted
the voice quality
is so mediocre
the display so
unsatisfactory
why this me
?

The way
your dimples hold

I get tan
Just by looking at
Your smile

Sometimes I wonder,
If the wind that knocked on my window panes,
Had something to tell me,
About someone who lived far away

Someone with stories and songs
And pains, yearning to share
Waiting with sprawled arms for a hug
Pining his heart to drain out the loss

Sometimes I wonder,
Of all the places I went,
Did the wind take me there
To haul me a little to someone so far

Someone who's tranquil breathe
At nights wake me up from
Deepest of sleeps And
Plays his puppet shows in dark

Is the autumn leaves
Scattered in the streets
The dried and dead flowers
Blown and trounced at late hours
To feed the funeral of your pains

Did the leaves just whistled,
Or was it your songs
Written in white clouds
Tuned with the tears
That fell down your cheeks

Someday I'll follow the wind
Till the end,  To meet you
And tell you that
I heard you cry
And here I am

Listen,
Sometimes the wind,
Blows your dreams away,
And sometimes it brings
Memories that stay.
Wind stranger

dry
my vocabulary
is infinite
until im forced to put emotions
to words

then, i run dry
thousands of books read and read again and yet i cannot describe a flower with the words it deserves
