There is no manual for love
That's what hurts the ******* most
I don't know anything
Why I'm here
What I'm doing
The steps to make this all alright
I cannot depend on contradictory articles
Should I leave
Should I stay
Should I try again
Should we talk about it in the morning
There is no manual for love
I should stop searching
But I continue to

This spell
You placed on me
I cannot seem to dispel
Incised deeply
Within my boulders
In an instant
I lose power.
A short MTG-inspired poem
  Dec 2020 Vaampyrae
Richard Smith
Sitting silent
Watching, hoping,
Asking, wishing,
Begging to be noticed
Wanting to be helped
But knowing ignorance
Of the situation
Of destitution
That falls upon
The unfortunate
Invisible

It wasn’t lightning
Nor a forest fire
Not a storm that shook
The depths of a tower
It was a wave that built up
Bit by bit through edges and
Jagged formations
Like all the months that led
Up to this
It was the sweet song of salvation
I tasted on your lips
Made me pick up the pieces yet again
To form a whole
No longer just a hole
A dash of evergreen on a silent winter night -
Holy night
This.

When teardrops stay in your eyes
Its pretty poetic, don’t you think?
I used to be afraid of letting them fall
But now I let them stay for seconds
So that I know how it feels to feel
The value of split seconds

That split second before -
It’s finally today.

I love you.
