to know
from that moment i knew
surely that it was you
who ignites the coal
that soots my eyes

that moment i knew
that it was you
creating music
filling my soul

i knew;
it was you:
the colors—
my everything.
for xy

descend from complexity and logic.
ascend with simplicity and structure.

she is of sapphire:
where midnights kiss
for an ocean that glows
from the foam
of souls between dreams
to become photographs
woven into my eyes

and she is of carnation:
where petals yearn
for a love that follows
from the shine
of edges between stars
to become constellations
woven into my skies
for xy

foam + shine = aphrodite

summer dream
Lanz Gabor Sep 2022
a touch of summer
expressed a hundred ways
for me to show you
how much i love you
in all the possible ways

from dreams you came
my dearest euphoria
dancing my heart
into a myriad of skips
from your every smile

looking into your eyes
and summer has gone
but my heart is ready
my ray of sunshine
for a thousand more
but you have given me pain
—a thousand-fold.

and it is—
Lanz Gabor Dec 2021
the way your voice rings, the resonance i adore
it tingles a spark in me, makes me the happiest
and i smile wide, and it's all because of you

though my anxiety stayed, it became a secret in time
and i would try to hide, because of the whispers
because of the glares, but i held on all throughout

knowing me though, i'll still continue even with those
i'd further that spark, because it makes me happy
and continue to smile wide, because it's from you

NOTE:
In each line, treat each clause, separated by a comma, as two separate sides. Read the entire left side as one poem, and the same goes with the right —that makes two poems! Now, read it normally and it shows the third poem.
This whole poem contains three independent poems following the same theme!

Rewrite
Lanz Gabor Nov 2021
There, and away,
alone, and I can't stay.
Filled with lots of cry;
not a doubt, this is why:

On cities in all days,
it is there, felt always.
Everywhere, they'd lie,
clutch on, and then pry.

Yet, even with the pain,
oh still, we did remain.
But even if time will fail,
again, we'll write our tale.
but at the end of the tale
—you cheated.

blink
Lanz Gabor Nov 2021
in the blink of an eye, you kept decaying.
lost in space, and no one can help you.
everything in front has morphed like free desert sand,
with some praying to stay as sandcastles because of
a gust that only prides of insignificance and is clever.
but they deemed it puny, and we dealt with their mistakes.

so we had to run to a labyrinth of terrifying ends.
you had no choice but to move further, away — alone
but to move was to be tickled by the dust devil,
and to stay was to mope in killing silence.
you leapt into both worlds in shifts —
to suffice yourself, even while stuck in the labyrinth.

every day was a mobius strip, and it stretched into months
of moving, of staying, and of waiting
until you discovered a sandcastle on one end.
it had veins of wear, but you tried to keep it *****.
lost in time, but you can help you.
and in the blink of an eye, you kept living.

unread.
Lanz Gabor Nov 2021
to believe in what was lost
for over a dozen months
— to fall in love, but slowly

from those old pictures
of blisses and grandeur
to new messages unread

for what reason was it
to be found living like that
only to be forced dead

now, one can never expect
a sharp cliff waiting for them
at the end of a short story

Decay
Lanz Gabor Sep 2021
here i see
melancholy
in a trance

it seems heartless
like it doesn't care
for anyone

it dwells in the silence
as it waits for nobody
but the lune

even without its colors
through decay
still it stands out tall

but now it fades
into the night
a starry void

and still it is lonely
but it is so beautiful
even in the dark

live
Lanz Gabor Mar 2020
— because after
all these trials
you shall bloom like
the shade of the moonlight
and tear no more
like rains of sorrow

photograph
Lanz Gabor Dec 2019
a reflection of you
sparkles silently
through a vivid flare

and the highlights
of your locks
stay very tantamount

to the rays that say hello
within this memory
that they call a photograph

just look at all these details
intricate and beautiful
just like you
i'll forever be sorry, G.
