and
i don't know
if this is me
just overreacting,
but
the only reason it scares me
when the wind causes my bedroom door to slam shut,
is because
i'm deeply afraid
that
i'll get used to the sound of people leaving.

I Am Loseing Myself In Your Words

I love your words.
I often find myself lost in them,
wandering around,
watching them floating
in crystalline, Spring like pools
their colors blazing
like a mid day sun,
yet tasting like honeysuckle
as they roll off my tongue.
I love your words.

I love your words.
Enticingly exotic
syllables of Blue Orchids
scenting the jungle
in dawn’s early light,
yet lingering and weaving
themselves into Summer’s breeze.
Gentle words, yet sultry with
the rage of passion’s fire.
I love your words.

I love your words.
Warm, welcoming,
they speak to each other,
laughing at the intricacies
of life while
playfully teasing reality
with fantasy’s mystique,
with their letters littering
and blowing in the wind.
I love your words.
*
I love your words.
They dance with me,
swirling in my mind,
holding me close
blowing whispers warmly in my ear
making me feel young, alive.
One day, we will die.
The sun will swallow the earth
into oblivion. The stars will disappear.
But, I am in love with your words. Okay!

Aztec Warrior 11.21.15
Note: the idea for the last 4 lines
in this poem came from the movie,
“The Fault In Our Stars”.

When I was troubled, where were you?
I was falling...without you.
You said I could run to you,
but I had to run from you.
When that bridge fell,
The dust clouded my vision.
I couldn’t find my way,
So I grabbed what I could,
And sprinted.
I jumped at my first chance of escape.
When I found my way,
I came back
How could you push me again?
I thought I could trust you.
You sent me to a place,
Where you cannot see the sun.
They watch you.
They stalk you.
They try to solve you.
When I was released from the claws of that beast,
I didn’t come back.
You waited
And waited
You were angered when that seat got cold.
Life as you know it was gone.
Dead.
Destroyed.
You came at me,
Talons outstretched.
You attacked in every way possible.
Ripping the very things binding me to this life.
You laughed as The largest piece of me fell,
Into the black noiseless oblivion.
You expect me to come back,
Crawling on my knees,
Begging you to take me back.
I won’t.
For, I have learned:
Never come back.
