i've always admired
how a blank white wall
looked back into my eyes

how it reflects as
pure, whole, pristine
into my deep dark eyes

how it pulls out
another set of trigger
into my soul

about how it makes
so much sense
my mind is white
blank
plain
dull

until you set
this explosion of colors
with little time-bombs
e v e r y w h e r e

as if these hues
represent
the way we are,

or more importantly,
the way we're not

how these reds
that should indicate
passion
love
lust
***
impulse

but they won't
cover up
the whites

instead they wash away
like water
against these blank walls

as if
your love for me
was never real anyway

as if i was nothing
to be lost
to be thrown away

as if the greens blues oranges
can stay
but you were yellow

you covered up
so much space
so much time

as if it symbolizes
your impact on me

how i cannot forget
this rendezvous we have

once or twice
or just whenever
you feel like

how can you not
forgive me?

i never forgiven myself either.
drunk text i'd forget the next day anyway

Broken and beautiful,
Like a crystal rose- shattered
Only to be glued back together
With some of the pieces missing
Or in the wrong order.

I wouldn't have you any other way.

My baby girl

My baby girl,
She doesnt speak to me
But i know what she says
I know what her gibberish means
I know why her tantrums are
My baby girl
Beautiful as anything ive ever seen
Maybe more
Innocent pure unique
My baby girl is special

I look for things straightforward in this backwards society
"See you soon"
And he left
Didn't turn again
It was it.

He said,
"Just look up, I'm always there"
I believed in him
So I did.

"Is Dad home?"
I asked her
She just smiled,
"Look outside"

I looked up
Saw a plane
Waved my hand
As if he could see me.

My faith in him
Was as high as the sky.
He promised
"I'll be back"

Five months is long
But I waited.
I've waived to the sky
Even at midnight.

When I'm sad,
I wear his shirt
Which he said,
"Wear this and you'll feel my warmth"

I've worn it,
Every single day.
I've longed for your warmth
That's real and alive

The day has come
You'd be home
Timing is rude
As well as you

You said you'd be back
Yes you did
Only in cloth
But not with flesh

One day
I remembered you
Everything about you
I just wept 'til I fell asleep

I woke up
With your shirt on
I jumped from my flat
"I'll see you soon, Dad"
