Ciel Noir
What other kind              of creature could divide        
        Each different thing             into its different sides                
  With chaos versus             order, dark and light
The stark duality of         wrong and right
We even split the very        world in two
With human versus human,       we and you
But still no matter how much      we divide
Each thing has infinitely many      sides

Vale Luna
I think the Moon knows
I'm watching Her
Because sometimes,
                           She leaves me presents
It may sound silly
But I've got a jar full of Her secrets
That I keep in a lockbox under my bed
The pass code; Luna
So I'll praise Her title
Each time I uncover
The hidden gifts She's given to me

Purified droplets of moonlight.

The size of a jewel
The weight of a diamond
The glow of an angel
The shine of a star

The Moon probably knows
I'm watching Her
Because sometimes,
                            I find a drop
In the bud of a flower
Sometimes,
                  in the pit of a well
Sometimes,
                  in the cave of an animal
Sometimes,
                  in the crack of a rock
Sometimes,
                  in the hollow of a tree
Sometimes,
                  in the current of a stream
And on the rarest of occasions
I'll find Her lodged between the pages
Of my notebook

I've collected a dreams worth of gems now
So whenever I find myself,
                                       Lost.
- Swallowed by the void -
I'll have enough moonlight in my jar
To ignite the darkest of days
And the presence
                             of Her presents
Will go unnoticed by no shadow
Or creature of the night.

Luna knows I'm watching Her.

I'll continue to gaze from below
And let no stone go unturned
So when the Moon drips again
I'll be there to catch Her
Another crystallized droplet of a blessing
To tuck away
In the box under my bed.

(You read it from top to bottom and bottom to top)
When we all have to live in it
The world is a bad place
So don't tell me
Right from wrong
Not everyone knows
The right thing
There is no such thing as
People who are both good and bad
But there are
People who are full of hatred
There may be
People who trick and deceive you
Unfortunately, there's
Only negativity
It is not
Okay to cry
The strongest find it is
Best to hide your emotions
It is not
Fine.
So I got ideas for this from the poem 'Refugees' by Brian Bilston.
Well.
I have no idea what to say now XD

Vale Luna
(read forward, then backward, line by line)

I ran.
Not knowing what else to do
There was so much blood on my hands
It was mine
The kitchen knife
Caught in my chest
Guilt
Consumed by
Fear
I was heightened by
Adrenaline
But running on
Wasn’t enough
While trying to stay calm,
Losing control
It was me that would end up
Dead. Because
He was
In front of me
The whole time
It was too late
Trapped
I found myself
Locked in chains
My fate was
Death.
Forward: from the victims perspective.
Backward: from the murderers perspective.

This TOOK ME FOREVER TO WRITE

I allow you to look at me again,
Allow myself another chance to hear your sweet pain.

I thought something had changed, it was stupid of me.
I was wrong, things would always be the same, i should have let you be.

Because I know you don’t need this.
I know I still need practice;

Love to me is a new concept,
Something to learn gradually,
Something cautiously met.

Love to you is tried and tested,
Something to be experienced passionately,
Something that doesn’t end happily.

We are children dancing with adults.
We are students challenging masters.
Our lives do not intertwine in the way I hope,
We will show each other we can cope.

Bubblegum and mint.
You leave it everywhere.
With your breath, your touch, your kisses.
Oh how your scent lingers, my life saturated with you.

Leather and denim.
You take it everywhere.
In your thick soled shoes, your tightly knotted bun, your pretty Picasso jacket.
Your image is burned into me, your life an imprint in my mind.

Red Dec 2017
Weak, like the sun on an early November morning.
Warming only the fluttering butterflies wings, eyelashes.

Strong, like the whispering winds.
Pulling coat tails and hair, breathless.

Fragile, like the rain that cuts through the sky.
Beating an icy cold pattern, tears.

Unyielding, like the snow topped mountains.
Camouflaging cold breaths, thighs.

Looping, like the ring around a lovers finger.
Ever entwined, love.

You are all these things.
You are much more than I can give.
You deserve to shine and sing.
You give me a reason to live.
