Mercury Chap Sep 2016
I remember to breathe
Whenever I think of him
It’s possible to take one’s breath
And give them the reason to breathe
At the same time.

I remember to live,
Even when I give up,
I live for him,
Every breath I take
I take each one for him.
Mercury Chap Aug 2016
She always knew
She was too cold to touch,
Too hard, too repelling.

Her tears would freeze
In the depths of her eyes
Her heart was stiff
Sharper than the knives.

But as she never saw
Through the fog in her life
Mayhap somewhere in the distance
She wasn't as cold as this other
Who, when they woke up at dawn,
Prayed the sun
For a warmth like Hers.
Mercury Chap Aug 2016
when it's dark enough
for the stars to be invisible
and my eyes still open wide
don't shut, don't dream
i feel like i'm falling
in the bottomless pit
where the darkness embraces me
and i can't tear out of it
but shiver uncontrollably
unstoppable, i look for the sharp
edge of the frindly enemy
in the drawer
inside the cupboard,
and I know, it's my short term memory,
Cannot find it,
panic,
heavy breaths,
anger,
tears,
anguish,
unlucky for the day,
unlucky, no scars,
yet.

It was the witch

Who didn't know magic

Her spells rebound

Struck her heart

Tears, gloom all around,

No where to restart.



It was the ghost

Who knew the way to light

And though he wandered clueless

Without any delight,

Had a heart of a firefly

But no one to rely.



When the dark and the light

Merge with an ease

Of water paints

Where there's melancholy,

There's mutual empathy and love,

There's a new creation of hope,

It's all over above.
Story of the oer lost light and the one lost in dark.
Mercury Chap Jun 2016
And when I found your arms
Tight around me like a chain
Bounded by a lock with lost keys
Saying you'd never let me go
I got the answer to
If true love still exists.
Mercury Chap Jun 2016
There is that tunnel I see

A reflection of my own soul

At the edge of it I stand with my trembling feet

And shiver under my sweat with fear of darkness.



"Hello?" I call out.

The darkness grumbles like

A hungry beggar's stomach

And mumbles out a deep

"Hello?"



"Who are you?" the dud lips speak.

"Who are you?" the tunnel of my conscience

Echoes a little late.



A pain in my chest shrieks out a

"I don't know!"



And my feet shuffle away

Into a quick sprint

Away from the tunnel

Of my dark dark soul



Away from everything

As if

Running could make

A shattered heart

Whole.

Knit that sweater for me, please,
That sweet humming with its peaceful catch
Your hands and their darkening crease,
A mere cloth of your hardwork
To stay with me.

When it wraps around me
On a chilly day
I'll feel your love
Your warm embrace.

Under the sunlight
I'll dream of the rows,
Silly reasons to fight,
But even if for a day, I was your foe,
Your love would cook for me,
Knead the chapati dough

Make me that beautiful sweater
On my 90th Christmas when you're above
I'll wear your colours, my dear mother,
Which will remind me.of your undying love.
