I guess I just needed one voice all along
To tell me love was indeed worth fighting for.
Cause there are thousands of voices constantly humming
within
My brain
Some pretty ugly, some really frightening
Even the most avid dark fiction writer
Would be shivering in absolute fear

One voice is now enough to set them all apart
Just like how Moses halved the sea
Your voice has and still
Reaches me.
Poem streak.

Picture this:
Broken glasses
Left on a timid table.
Unfixed.

Picture this:
A blind child waiting
For her mother to come
Back.

Picture this:
Yesterday's pie still
Humming inside the
Oven.

Picture this:
The sight of blood on a far
Off pavement spreading without
Direction.

Picture this:
Lost shadows just
Waiting to be seen in the
Silence.
I've always wanted to tell a story through a poem. I looked at my broken glasses and let the fingers do the work. This is what came out.

The flip of a page sounds like
Yesterday's tunes
Haunting the remains of ancient runes
Of libraries snugged within our brains
Perhaps in a blissful yearning to be named
By its forgetful creator
And I prefer physical books indeed.

The smell of old books never ceases to capture me.

The next time we meet again will probably awkward as frick
Like if Jupiter and Uranus collided
In which they'd probably pass by each other because they're gas giants
(Or fuse into one big gas giant planet, but I'm too tired to explain)
And being in one room we'd might as well
Be two unmoving pieces of stone each waiting
For the other to make a move
After all the years without touch
(Cause a pandemic had to happen)
I guess we'd be stiff like that.

I mean, can't you see the stiffness in the way my hands
Wave at you wishing yours could just come through
The pesky screens holding us back
Just wishing they could make a crack at all the ice
My hands have been gathering throughout these years?

Cause it seems holding you will take ages
And I'm now left to read hundreds of pages of young adult couples
Huddling beside bonfires
Making it look so easy to move closer and closer
While realistically, we're stuck here miles and miles apart
Only huddling beside this hurt we call distance

By the gods, I pray to be a gas giant so I can permeate
Through all these physical walls
And give you the one long hug I've been saving since fall
Cause I badly need the body warmth right now.
Do I sound too hypothermic? I hope not.


...


But anyway, still and awkward hugs will do
I've noticed it's a bit cold here --
Is it cold there too?

I know you might've grown accustomed to it, you might even like it, but for just one night
Let me imagine what it's like
To warm you.
I am in need of body warmth. Brr. Help XD Also, inspired by Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero. Piper and Jason's scene.

Spoken word for the nth time. All my poems are becoming spoken word.

Well, I'll see and listen what my hearts says.

No books, no walls, no weapons, no stalls
No pens, no tools, no -- nothing at all
Because everything I need to hold
already stands before me
You.



Mini poem #3

Gosh, what love does to us. XD

Maybe we'll make do with the pixels that bind us together
Two-hour talks we share in our own tiny version of forever
Thin but treasured screens that allow me to see your beautiful smile
Airwaves bringing messages, traversing thousands of miles
Just to get to where they need to be

Oh the stories they would tell.
Distance is but a number.
