Elysia
Quiet down—
Let the rumble come to a stop,
Let the noises drown,
Let your body take a drop.

Into the ocean of wailing whales
and silent sails, drifting
abruptly upon the
golden coast sea

Open your eyes
water’s rushing into your lungs;
Your hands flail
but halts
Floating amidst the dark bed below.

Vastly stretched views,
the sun rays penetrating the surface
giving you your glimpse of hope
beyond your dark, blue, cold endeavours.

Quiet down —
Let your body phase into the air,
Let your heart be found,
Let yourself find love to bear.
Opening up can be hard. This is what I feel like whenever i'm stuck.

I was your shield,
and you were my doom.
My heart you peeled,
until it could no longer bloom.

My face is blank,
void of emotion.
With you I'll be frank,
you've set a snowball in motion.

For a while I've been tumbling;
falling, but never landing.
The skies are grey and rumbling,
enjoy life while you're still standing.
- i'll hit you ten times worse, just you wait -

The heart has died a time or two
Yet, the courage still remains
A new narrative
A fiction rooted in truths
In a world in flames
With a villain called Love
As the story goes
The sun loved the moon
As the waves kiss the shore
And the hero is death
Pitted to lose
For love and life are but the great devils
Descended the gods from the heavens
For in our back story we were lovers
Chasing inspiration
Weaving the old into the new
Treating the pestilence
With simple kisses
Consumed by hope
Seeing something that isn't there
Careful not to bite
We don't forget, what is always there
And sometimes it's so unreal
There will always be some mornings that we will forget where we are and we'll reach for one another across the endless scapes of the mattress we call home
