The Night
Atlantis Aug 2022
The night comes to me, sneaking in like a gentleman thief. His steps were steady, leaving no sound against my tiles. When the moon wakes, he watches me sleep. Kisses me on the forehead and takes me away.

Deeper into the night,
Safe and sound I sleep.

Burn
Atlantis Nov 2018
I deeply apologize
that your fingertip's burnt
as you touch mine

I deeply apologize
that you learn about pain
but I've memorized it

For I myself, don't know why
my love burns those who try
Atlantis Oct 2018
Fences, fences all around me
Tall gates of stell and iron

Was it for protection, really?
Or to rid of me my freedom

Smile
Atlantis Feb 2018
My words and kisses
are not to make you mine.

My rhymes and promises
are to make you smile.

Icarus
Atlantis Feb 2018
You are the Sun
And I'm your Icarus.

Let my wings break apart
for getting too close.

I will fall and find
another way to fly.

Even if it kills me
a thousand more times.

Fear
Atlantis Dec 2017
Sometimes
When I close my eyes
I can feel the bruises on my skin
And fear creeping in my veins

And
When I open them
I can see those
In flesh and bones

For All
Atlantis Nov 2017
I'm not sure if I love you
Because of your noon's beam
Or your night's grim

But tonight I see
The sunshine in your smile
And thunderstorm in your eyes

Then I realize
I can love you for both
I can love you for all
For my quiet afternoon's crush and violent overnight rush.

Light
Atlantis Oct 2017
People wonder
who killed
his lights

Saying he used to shine
brighter than the sun
and there were sparks
like those of the stars'

People wonder
who killed
his lights

But no one does

He turned it off

Poet

As a poet
People fall in love
With our verses
And our lines
With our poetry
And our rhymes

But very rarely
With us

We thought

But oh, how they melt
at a pair of shining eyes

Ocean
Atlantis Oct 2017
Do you not notice the longing rush of the ocean
When it finally reaches the embrace of the shore?

Darling, I'm never the child of the sea
But it's easy for me to understand

For I too, find home when I run back to you

You're gone like you never existed
Like I've never fallen in love with the way
You drink your water every morning
Warm when it's chilly and cold on usual days

You're gone like you never existed
Like I've never fallen in love with the way
You call my name
A lot of people do too, but none ever sounds quite like yours

You're gone like you never existed
Like I've never fallen in love
Like I will never fall in love

— The End —
