Dreams of Sepia

Drawing

It's been a long time
but the ink scrawls & lines all fall into place

an expressionist
glimpse into urban dreams

somewhere in the past
a typewriter sounds

someone is writing
a masterpiece

which will never
be published

in a land
soon to be bombs & flame

meanwhile my lines
make out the city of my dreams

I drew for the first time in a year today & what came out was a picture that reminded me of Berlin, a city I love.

Butterfly

I asked the sun to cast his light,
Only then will she open her eyes,
Cocooned in her blanket sleeps my butterfly

The sun said," I do not want to burn the dream off her eyes,
Let her wake up first and only then will I rise"

However long

~

In your arms I long to be
As sunrise shines its light on me
Now on this bed so all alone
Wishing you would hurry home

It’s always you I truly miss
Your perfect smile and wondrous kiss
Days apart they seem so long
It’s just a few that you’ve been gone

But I don’t care just lying here
A couple days feels like a year
Your love my empty heart does yearn
As I now wait for your return

So hurry home, I need you so
I wish you never had to go
And if you must, know this is true
*However long, I’ll wait for you

Good morning beautiful

naivety

I won't tell you what
you deserve
that is not my place
less even my business

but it's clear what
you desire
I feel those things
occupying your mind

I want to be the
comfort you seek
but you see, time
hasn't been kind

you have no part in
what transpired,
those pretty reasons
I'm bitterly inspired,

now that for once
I'm desired, why when
I've been denied
would I deny her?

I know I knew better
& that's the worst part

All Along In Vain

Second
after second

Minute
after Minute

Hour
after Hour

Day
after Day

Week
after week

Month
after Month

Year
after Year

Moment
after moment

Time
after time

I've Been Longing
Longing to catch a glimpse
A glimpse at
Thy Bewitching Eyes
Eyes that did flicker
Flicker like clusters of stars
On a moonless night
Though
All along in vain

#Pulchritude #Heart break

a dream of freedom

Part of our love, love
submits to social engineering.

The man with the money has,
all barriers disintegrated.

This is what we have, my darlings
a poor example.

We are born shackled,
and live a dream of freedom.

Never let it go
your life depends on it.

backseat

I can sit and twirl my hair until
My fingers are caught and tangled
In there like a dolphin in a net or a
Little bead of sweat stuck in a pore
- though I don't
Think many beads of sweat would
Make an attractive necklace - I can
Smear my fears on the mirror in here
But I can't get rid of the fact that
I'm unable to find the hidden track
That a black cat means a heart attack
And a scratched back leans towards
A knack of lacking a gift for words in
The pitch black, hatchback, backseat
tours

Surmising

So I guess
I found you by accident
and forgot you
on purpose

and that's about it then. Toodles.

forever

I was swerving
all over the road
with bursts of wails
coming from deep
inside myself
tears in my eyes
sputtering little
curses between sobs
and I thought to myself
"that church's sign, it's been up
for forever"

Ameliorate

Flighted

Unleashed
She is finally freed from her cage
Her flight feathers grew back
Her wingspan impressive like the dawn of a new day
Flighted, and ready
She takes to the sky
An eruption of beauty
Never to be seen again.
