Leila The Kiwi Dec 2021
From here to there
And back again

The birth
Of something new

Inexplainable
Is the evolution
Of oneself.

This poem just came out and it reminds me of my flatmate's descriptions of reincarnation.
Leila The Kiwi Dec 2021
Share a moment with me
Sit and take my hand in yours

You needn't say a word
Or utter a sound

Share your soul with me
Show me what our minds
Couldn't comprehend.

That which once glistened
and glimmered
now digs into my skin
leaving me breathless.

The marks of you left behind on me
forming scars, bruises and blisters.

I used to be enamored with the shine of you,
when I first came to know you, to learn of you.

But all that glitters is not gold
and I knew that you had no value
just another cheap imitation.

Something so far from the real thing
but desperately trying its hardest to be.

You can only promise
The present.

We can deconstruct it
It's not a castle
It's just sand.

What say you, traveler?
You come baring
Gold and jewels
Hoping to lure me in
With their luxury

What say you, traveler?
I'd prefer your thoughts and emotions
That are buried out of fear
May I see those rarities?

What say you, traveler?
You keep those
Behind lock and key

I say to you, traveler
That's quite a tragedy.
