Highway
irises Jan 2018
oh the wild
thrills of the highway
so sweet after bitter
heartbreak

as the lights go rushing by
one by one
i hope to forget
the battle scars marking my body

adrenaline
irises Jan 2018
i can feel something
bursting through my veins
warning every
finger
and toe
and corner of my body
*that something beyond awaits

Night
irises Sep 2018
the late night talks of life and love are so hard to come by
as the night consumes our tears
and the moonlight shines like a thin cloak of white on our faces...

we are together through a connection that permeates our skies even if we’re miles and miles apart as we ask each other about the minor and the significant.

for a moment it felt like i was cared about.
but like everyone else i had let see in
you were first to say goodnight .

irises May 2020
There are those
Glowing red and yellow lights from the back of cars at night
That sets an ambience of retrospect

An ambience best experienced in the company of happiness-
And perhaps the bass of a heavy song to fill you up to the brim
But not overflow...

The world will go silent because nothing else matters
For just a short while
and everything will go slow except for time...

Nothing can seem horrid as you see happiness surround the air
Floating like waves throughout your hair
As you hum to an unfamiliar tune
Of a beginning unknown

And a destination unseen.

You think for a moment,
Ah, in this life, these moments must be what is
truly infinite

tucking the surroundings into your star-pockets
that you can look at when you are more jaded with time

remembering that at this one time
You were infinite
because that's just what young people do.
i miss those late nights the most

she knew she was different
her dreams could fly
while others
died.

a bit about time.
irises Jul 2018
There’s something a bit beautiful about today;
The fact it isn’t tomorrow
And you already know yesterday.

But there’s something a bit scary about today
The fact it isn’t yesterday
And only tomorrow will you know today.

farther
irises Sep 2019
i feel farther from you
that even though these 3000 miles are what separates us
my heart is still

even farther away.
long distance, i feel like i'm trapped because it's convenient, yet inconvenient all at the same time.

i'm waiting
irises Jan 2020
i'm waiting
for the day i finally feel alive

for the day where the sun feels like it was something
meant for me.

and that the water flows in part because
i am on this earth too.

that for once
i feel this ripple effect of humanity.

Iris
irises Dec 2017
they were a certain shade of closed off purple
with the warmest yellow in between
like something had reached in and painted them gold
but perhaps they did it themselves
to avoid thinking they were alone and unhappy in this world
swallowing gold to make them feel something they were not.

tool
irises Jan 2018
to you i must have been no one
probably because everyone wants to be
deep down popular
rejecting people's friendships and hearts
like you did me.

i understand
that i was just a tool
used to orchestrate a master plan.

and that deep down,
you just wanted to feel human too.

turning
irises Jan 2020
i tell myself that if i
turn around
i won't see you again

but then i turn twice.

even if i change twenty eight times
i will see you again.
