Time be taken
For her hands to reach out for the fire
Restraints from moving faster
And it happens

Lighting up her cigarette
It starts to burn
Slowly inhaling
So the fire would stay in place

Slowly exhaling
The stick gets shorter
Ashes fall to the ground
Another minute is gone

It slowly reaches the end
She tries to take in the last breath
It ashes away
Like her time with him
She flicks it away
Solemnly
Saying goodbye...

Found a gem
In the deep blue ocean
Took it home with me
Fell in love
With its ruby red charm

Bonded it to a string
Wore it for a necklace
Had it close to my heart
Feeling it's icy cold texture
Sometimes...
It's gentle flames of warmth

Under a starry night sky
A hot coffee in my hand
A cooling breeze accompanies me
Clutching it tight
Always admiring its beauty

Got a phone call one day
Removed it from my neck
Held it in my hand
Driving down lanes
To another place

Handed it over
My heart sank
What I've realised was that
It was never mine
And people told me lies

*Finders aren't always keepers
archwolf-angel Dec 2016
Favours in the sight to see
Unable to put into words
A picture of peace
That unseen melody

Maximising strength
Creating force from nothing
Desperately needing
Another breath of nicotine

Blurry images
Fogging visions
Failing to hold on
To grasp upon a belief

Fading symphonies
Muffling music
Turning deaf
Loss of hearing to a favoured frequency

Please don't ever
Lose sight of me
Hear me
Listen to my heartbeat
It's still beating...

...for *
you and me
archwolf-angel Dec 2016
Still feels like the first time
Waiting in a distance
For your arrival
Butterflies in the stomach
Anticipating

Still feels like the first time
Knowing your heart
Hearing your songs and stories
Constantly finding myself
Laughing and smiling

Still feels like the first time
Looking your direction
And your eyes would meet mine
Followed by a smile of acknowledgment
Chuckling bashfully

Still feels like the first time
Locked in your embrace
Taking in your scent
Wrapped in your warmth
Loving every second of it

Supposedly**
Reality behaves
And listens to my wayward mind
How nice would it be
To have these dreams come alive
archwolf-angel Nov 2016
Silence became dominant
As night falls upon me
Your voice whispers
In the memories of you and me
archwolf-angel Nov 2016
Band aids to my careless falls
Laughter to my weirdest antics
Raindrops to accompany my tears
Stars to light up my darkest nights

Efforts placed to suit my comfort
Understanding hearts to my needs
Trustworthy ears to my deepest secrets
Holding them close and sealed

Protection to my fragility
Smiles contagiously spreading
Grateful because...

...It's those genuine hearts that I feel and see
"To be a friend, you have to be sincere and genuine."
For the ones who stayed by me through everything.
