the two pair
Lejla Hott Jan 2020
rich soil
fleck with a bit of black
dark chocolate
parched summer soil
glossy chestnut brown
unvarnished oak
mahogany flecks
apple pips
varnished cork
dessert palm tree
flecks of acorn shell
his eyes
the most beautiful pair
of eyes
she has seen

Drengesind
Lejla Hott May 2019
Stor og stærk som en marmorsten,
Hans blå bedrageriske øjne.
Facaden dækker den pinefulde leen
Samt de enigmatiske løgne.

Overvældende følelse af ansvarlighed;
Forventningerne er høje.
Det skyller ind over hans dyster sind,
Han lader sig nu bøje.

Den urene og maliciøse ravn,
Omslutter hans inkurable krop.
Ølflasker i hans favn,
Stakkels fyr kan ikke holde op.

Svagt blinkende gadelygter,
Viser vejen til sandheden; livets fjende.
Den han med hele hjertet frygter,
Hvornår ville denne lidelse ende?

beautiful clouds
Lejla Hott Jan 2020
sun-kissed white clouds blossom in the blue, free to fly with the wind. in the long horizon they take on silver hues, those deeper graphite tones that promises good rain. the cloudy day is my joy, for those passing white blossoms of the sky bring the transitory shade i love. upon the sidewalk i am as a happy butterfly beneath a tree canopy. passing from bright sun to mellow hues.
appreciate the clouds

Perfect
Lejla Hott May 2019
When you try so hard to be perfect,
And you fall right through the cracks,
When you try so hard to hide the pain,
but the tears keep leaving tracks.

When you try so hard not to be you,
And you very nearly succeed,
When you try so hard to hold your heart,
To stifle the ache and need.

The world is cold, it's a cruel place,
And you have only yourself,
You're just a page, in an ancient book,
On a lonely, dusty, shelf.

People may look, but they always find,
The thing that they want to see,
So, they may hear your voice, it's true,
But they won't hear the wounded plea.

You must understand the people,
All so very shallow indeed,
They'll attempt to make you better,
Just so they don't have to watch you bleed.

So, while your soul is shattered,
And your heart doubly broken,
You’ll hide behind a facade of smiles,
And words that are happily spoken.
perfect? we all are, in our own way. remember that.

dreams
Lejla Hott Jan 2020
the dreams is the worst that there is, in them
you soak up cascades of wrong
decisions and get lost in fearful
streets stairwells and cities in ruins
and fail and lose your people
your loved ones
and awake shouting or with raw noises
in the throat only your black cat may hear

i dont rly know
Lejla Hott Jan 2020
you left
not quite yet
you wont stay away
why you do you do
what you do
why
do you give up
the things
you feel the need to maintain
why do you
keep on
staying where it is not your place
to stay
why
do you think
it is okay to do both
leave and come at the same time

my little one
Lejla Hott Jan 2020
babou you tear ****** streaks along my leg
to say good evening         well good evening then
but now calm down little cat   i often say
good evening myself
or
good night to people      without tearing at them
you can do that     if just you
put a little effort and have some empathy       but that
is enough
to go too far and       you do not go too far
babou is my cat
my
black cat
well
he is my love

the trees
Lejla Hott Jan 2020
so warm. strokes of light paints my skin. the trees are dancing ladies. each one in a dress more fabulous than any desginer can craft. they move choreographed by the wind, hand in hand. the early summer morning watches upon them. life and soul are what they give. upwards and outwarrds toward the light they stretch. drinking in the rays as pure as the rain. my arms reach out. fringers spreads towards the sun and slowly begin to dance. one step after another.

sweet daydrems
Lejla Hott Jan 2020
the couch was a fabric the hue of boyant sea waves
as a prim i sat there
as any sailing boat
on a fine day
upon those rolling cushions the birdsongs became my lullaby
as each moment became the next sweet daydream
they began from the joy
of not doing one single thing
all of a sudden
i was swimming with the rainbow fish
of the deep
feeling the rythm
of a new body with fins
you were there too
in my sweet daydrems

tiiiime

the time.
like a rock upon our hearts.
it has crossed the road.
-

-
disappears behind the street corner.
will not return.
the future is not created by using the present to complain about the past.
when will we learn.

little things
Lejla Hott Jan 2020
it is as if every little thing reminds me of you
a smile and a kiss
one word, hurt
a breath from the nature
the smell from those flowers
you bought me
back then
even the sunkiss
a slap on the shoulder
back to reality
it was never really you and me
if it wants, love will come to you, dont chase it.

oh beautiful winter
Lejla Hott Jan 2020
the trees stand so tall
golden tears have been shed
the glossy rain-washed strees
winter has its grib
from grey deep to pale
silhouettes of blackish-green
light up
the snowy mountain peaks
were the dream
of every child
lays

empty
nothing there
not even
a single breath
can be heard
i dont try
to fight it off
i love it
my heart aches
the hate
the hate
you taught me
to feel
a bedrock
to my personlity
were you
now
a thought
all the way
back in
my head
almost gone
almost

— The End —
