Sharon Flynn

girl dressed in a lapping
blue-waters gown
stands in a nest
of long-legged storks
remembering a moon
just exactly like this
in a hazy light just before
the dark garments of dawn are torn
is he looking out
over the water's edge
thinking about her
as she is thinking of him?
keep dreaming, the water says
as the dish runs away
with the baby's spoon
and speaks kindly of dreams spun

picture

the cold, breeze
of the wind
that made your
hair become
a playful mess

the smile
from your lips
that showed
happiness
felt within

your clothes
hugging your
strong, tall
yet huggable
figure

all these
features
of you
that i came
to love

i took it
in a snap,
in the form
of a pictureー

a tangible memory,
frozen in time

"oh baby, i just wanna see that twilight. wanna see that with you."

in need of: mending

what has once broken the heart
into pieces that were dreadfully
unrecognisable

can no longer be pieced together
by the five lettered word
that i waited to hear from you
from so long

"--she was taken for granted by her lover's own free will and they had the foolish courage to apologise about it."

bandages

can you see
these scars
that have embedded
itself upon
my forever-
aching heart?

i look at
the mirror
and always
see someone
who i no
longer know.

i can't
get back
what i lostー
a genuine,
loving smile;
and time that was
wasted in
believing
false hopes.

the pain that
i will always
feel everyday
can only be fixed
by these
artificial
bandages.

touch

you,
who stands afar from me,
shines even brighter
than the rays at sea

far apart,
still, i adore you,
and i love you

yet,
you don't even
know me

but that's
okay,
because you're
out of my reach

i just long
to hold
your hand and say
"thank you for everything"

"You're the best thing that happened to me."

ambiguous

past in a glaze,
   a veil of haze,
   cannot reminisce,
   lost time with
   you.

Inspired from the visual novel of The Arcana.

paroxysm

to feel is to
be human

to be human
is to live

and to live
is to go through life
its challenges
the ups and downs

the silhoutte
of a roller coaster
which either
makes you fret or bet

yet i am
i am tired
exhausted
of it all

feeling aches
in my heart
from memories
of neglect

what a catatonic
person i am
to even still feel
such an outburst

all at once

One in a million of my breakdowns.
