Your Name
Yitkbel Sep 2017
I used to see you every day
But I never knew your name
I always feared that one day you would get away
And nothing would ever be the same
Till I stumbled upon your name
In that receipt you stuck in my hand
Now at least I have your name
Even though you got away
I still write you love letters every day
Even if they are never read
They would still be yours to keep
Because all my love for you
Could write a long long book
And on the cover of it
Written in my heart and soul
Would be your name

Tourist
Yitkbel Jul 2017
Love that needs reciprocation is merely a tourist,
that goes away when interest fades.
True love is love that grows stronger
Especially in dismay.

Her eyes
Yitkbel Jul 2017
I confessed to her eyes,
But not her ears and her lips,
Because though the latter are easily deceived,
The former are never blind to the truth.

Fear
Yitkbel Jul 2017
I live love through fear.

Verses
Yitkbel Jul 2017
I wish we could converse in verses
Like what lovers used to do
But no matter what you say to me
In words, in smile, in silence
My world, my dreams, my sunrise
Would still be written all over
With my unchanging love for you.

Freedom
Yitkbel Nov 2017
Is freedom the ability to choose not to have it?

Fleeting
Yitkbel Jul 2017
I wish I lived within an old photograph, a fleeting moment, a stand still, with you.

Remember
Yitkbel Jul 2017
Sometimes I don't want to remember or be remembered.
Sometimes I just want to be traceless. Leaving no memory, no impression, no scar.

Your Masterpiece
Yitkbel Nov 2017
What if I am merely the pleasant little dabs of color on your palette before you paint your true masterpiece.

Honest Intention
Yitkbel Jul 2017
I dress my love in the simplest clothes,
lest you mistake my honest intention,
for boasts and pretension.
Yitkbel Oct 2017
My heart aches when I long for you
And I think it hurts when you miss me too
Though they twinge in different
Sharpness and hues
The Language within Me and You

Holding on
Yitkbel Jul 2017
I still remember you, and I am still waiting for you, I am afraid that if I give up, afraid that if I forget, nothing will ever last, nothing will ever matter.
Yitkbel Oct 2017
So I always color my soul the color of you.

Mirror
Yitkbel Jul 2017
Your love is a mirror,
all I see is a false image of myself.

Present
Yitkbel Jul 2017
I live through the future in my mind, and the past in my presence. I am always out there, somewhere, but never here in the present.

Honey Wasps
Yitkbel Feb 2018
We are all honey wasps
The Lost of us
We giveth
       All of our well meaning
                Nectar of sweet hopes and dreams
To a world of Aversion
      
Perhaps,
The world will never know who we really are
They do not look, nor can they see

But, we must remember our purpose
             Despite the isolation
                       Despite the mistrust
                          Lest we turn truly
                                    Barren and bitter.

Stardust
Yitkbel Jul 2017
She cried the tears of stardust, every droplet, a place, a face, a memory, and a moment in time.

The Moment
Yitkbel Jul 2017
I want to be caught still in a moment with you, but always just slightly apart, never reaching.

Just so I would never lose you, what was never mine.

Past, Future, and Present
Yitkbel Jul 2017
I live in your past, and you live in my future, that is why we will never meet, even though both of us are always in the present.

Your Present
Yitkbel Jul 2017
I would love to ride into the past and never return, so I can forever be in your present.
Yitkbel Mar 7
Let me wander, let me be,
Somewhere between the past and the dreams.
Have I truly been here before? Let me think.
I don't know.
But it echoes.
The words and melody against my soul.
Are you from lifetimes ago,
Or just memories fallen into the furrows,
Finally grown.
I see them clear as a dream.
I feel them clear as a dream.
The warm and the cold.
The familiar and unknown.
The childhood shadows I've rushed past long ago,
Wavering in the same glow.
Why did you stay? Will you never let go.
Will you stay with me in time,
Until eternity takes hold?

Ocean Love
Yitkbel Sep 2017
I swim insignificantly among your vast ocean love.
