Why
When I close my eyes
My eyes do still see

The blues of the skies
The leaves of the tree

When I begin to write
Open'd gate to my soul

The birds emerge in flight
And disappear from sight
Nonah Nov 2018
There is someone
Yes, I am tempted
To let my heart
Run from home

But

I belong here
She belongs there

Really

It's not as though
We belong anywhere

Nevertheless
Nonah Nov 2018
Why do we write
When pain comes
And we feel the bite
Of lost life and loves

Our words are cast
To an infinite ocean
On islands as outcasts
A melancholy motion

I feel my soul bend
Warping under weight
Monsters must I fend
As I buckle under hate
Depression, anxiety, insomnia, tears

Mar
The waves crash and recede
In a language I do not speak

The mists drift in from sea
and whisper gently unto me

In this midnight air
I feel the silent pull

of something far away

as currents twist and turn
the sea side flowers bend

a dance, a waltz, a love
a romance with the wind
Nonah Sep 2018
It
It keeps me awake
then
It keeps me asleep

It seeps like well water
as
Virginia vines may creep

It is who I am
yet
Not at all

I am defined by it
though
I am in control

A fan of the farewell
The final fall of a leaf
The final fall of a life

the final leaf of fall

A fan of the goodbye
In a relationship gold
In a relationship old

God be with you, friend

A fan of the salutation
That leads away from me
That leads away from we

Para tu salud, amor.

I know of no one who says
Take my words away

I know words can hurt
Words are weapons

I know many who say
Take the guns away

Yet still

Words are weapons
Our safety is off

So many shot dead
With a text message

The silent masses
the bullet casing

Yet still

I know of no one who says
Take the words away
