A stillness foreshadows
Lingering, eerily calm
Then a single, gentle thud
Disrupts the silence.
The leak springs,
Grows into a flood
Water runs over hot skin
Caressing each freckle, each wrinkle.
Eyes closed,
Truly feeling every shiver of
A feather's tracing down my spine.
I seize the warm feeling
Letting the streaming continue,
Greedily succumbing to the water.
My grip loosens upon the umbrella,
A distant "pnk" on the pavement marks its fall.
I am gone, the rain having
Taken me over.
I have loved you.
When we fought, I thought
About how your left iris
Had a hint of golden bliss
Swimming in infinite blue,
I loved you.
Now, what can I say?
Bright gold is fading over blue bay
All my words I ****
Biting my tongue until
It bleeds, tastes of salt and still
I loved you.
What should I do?
I can change for you!
(If you want me to)
What was that? I love you too.
I was sold on gold
On what you told
Of summer and freedom and love of old
Ice cream parlors.
Of driving down Ocean Avenue
Listening to periwinkle blue
And sweet honey voices coo “I love you”
Forgetting education, foundation
Disregarding the French he took, saying: look,
I loved you.
Bleeding tongue aside, I cannot hide
How hard I’ve tried
To love you.
Goodbye.
I find epics quite exhausting
For while the hero fights for the dead
I find my attention wandering
To a buzzing fly overhead.
You're smiling but you don't look happy. You're eyes said it all to me. You're eyes can't hide whats within you. Did someone ask you why are acting like that? Many ask me what happen, I can't give any answer, all I can do is turn back and walk away. I need to talk to you but, I can't, I don't know why. It's easy to say "SORRY", the question is if I meant it, I am. I am very sorry, I am facing all the consequences, I'm making myself believe that I can face it all but, I am breaking down. I can see nothing anymore. It's very dark, I'm not blind but, all I can see is the color black.
When will the morning light comes?
Tomorrow is always ahead to each and everyone. There is no turning back, when it's done, it's done, no excuses. Like a lizard, who doesn't know how to make it backwards. All you have to do is to look back and left them all behind and forget.
apology is no enough
Your batting of an eyelash,
My perfect
yellow
downfall
On repeat to match the beat
Pounding through my head,
Deconstructing, my eyes, slip
Tracing the cracks that my feet,
slow
heavy
unnecessary,
Have been grazing
For who even knows how long—
What is time without you to make it go faster?
I check, they all check
All reassured of our grievances, failures
Masses of nothing put together
wilted flowers
crumpled papers
The blue echoes and the mindless absence
Dwelling in the dark air—smokeless
Far too long here, far too long.
The petals fall in the fountain,
the orange-coloured rose-leaves,
Their ochre clings to the stone.
