How can you expect me to think
Much less speak
After even a glance
From your tiredly beautiful eyes?

A Gorgeous Sort Of Sadness
unnamed Jul 2019
"I think I love you"
I confess in a whisper
And I can see in her daffodil eyes
The doubt and despair
That tear her apart

A gorgeous sort of sadness
Consumes me
The kind you want to inhale
And hide away in your heart

He is beautiful,
an Aphrodite made of marble and stars,
drops of the ocean captured for the
crystalline blue of his eyes.

Shell
unnamed Jul 2019
I suppose that
If this cold shell
Of a person
Could still feel

I'd feel hurt
And sad
Maybe angry?
And confused

I guess it's
A good thing
I stopped feeling
Long ago

Eternity

his lips press against my own
somewhere in the universe,
supernovas explode,
and the impact echos in my core

Glue
unnamed Jun 2019
Instead of blood flowing through me
I've got glue in my veins
Movements slowing
I can't think straight
Feelings sticking together
Thoughts mushing
Now the glue has dried
And I'm stuck in another rut

Before I Fall
unnamed Apr 2020
Before I fall
Hug me close
And kiss me under
The Sakura petals
Please don’t forget
To look at me
The way you do
Before I fall
Once more

Sailor
unnamed Dec 2019
Weary eyes gaze out at sea
And worn hands drum
On weathered wood

A cigarette hanging
Loosely between his lips
As sea salt

Invaded his senses
And he surrendered
Himself to the sea

Art is fleeting
Lasting only a moment
Soon forgotten

Is that why
You and your beauty
Left this world
So quickly?

Well I can run

Cracked like a porcelain cup
In rough hands

The Tides
unnamed Jun 2020
She hung there. Suspense thick in the air as she clung by her fingertips. Figures hazily rushing towards her, their cries muffled by the roar of the irate sea beneath her. Lashes fluttered, eyes teary as the wind whipped about her loosening her grip further. Her fingers went slack. Stinging and discolored after hanging onto the serrated edge of the cliff for far too long. As she fell, hair lashing about her, limbs limp, she gave in. For even she knew, the ocean could not be sated. It would take what it wants and leave behind nothing but bitter memories of what once was. Acknowledging this brought acceptance. After all, who was she to refuse the turbulent tides wishes? The waves reached up towards her, similar to cold harsh hands grasping her body and pulling her further and further in. Even the diminishing sunlight was not allowed where she was headed. It brought an odd sort of comfort, knowing that at least she could catch a glimpse of Poseidon’s palace before she went. What a fool she was to think something so breathtaking could never be so chilling and ferocious.

Second Chance
unnamed Jul 2019
Had I stopped you
From leaving that day
You'd still be here
And I'd have another
Chance to fix us
Make us right again

We don't all get second chances
Let's make the first one count

Cherry Blossoms

She lived and died with the cherry blossoms
She came to me blossoming in the spring
Only to brittle and fall away again in the fall
