Three Truths

I could feel your absence as much as your presence.
2. You were the sun and now you are gone.
3. All is without life.

So many have loved me,
yet so many have stopped -

I was their dream,
until I was not.

for r/b/s/j/m/d/n/g/w/c. love lost is love found.

I could see the world unraveling at
supersonic speed, spinning like a whirlpool
when he shut his eyes.

The ringing in my ears seemed to quieten
as he opened them.

There was a loud thumping. Steady, quick. So loud. What was that sound? Was it my heart?

The dust particles around us then came into focus, swaying their graceful dance, performing pirouettes in the air.

He blinked once, twice.

His mouth started to open, then it shut again.
He didn't say a word.

But he let my hands go.

---------------------------------

*It was my heart, you know. The thumping.

Of course it was. Do you think it could've been his too?

My Favorite Things

1) Sun rays that send streaks of light across the landscape, cutting through the layers and layers of clouds.
2) The shivering reflections of a glass filled half-way with water.
3) Butterscotch candy
4) Heavy paper
5) Quiet mornings

Crossroads (Reimagined)

We met as travelers
at the crossroads

but you had a plane to catch
and I was already home.

Cracked Candy Canes

I was the strawberry ice cream
you took out of the freezer-
you walked away for a little breather
and left me here to melt.

you shook me out, crystal by crystal,
while you ****** on my lollipop tongue,
you molded my eyes into a cotton candy cloud,
which dissolved and I could not run.

Then I realised this power I held
was like hot, sweet, scalding syrup,
you thought I fell but you were wrong,
I made your downfall your luck.

Now my fingers are sticky with blame,
while your teeth chatter with cold,
my heart has turned into a crystal rock,
just watch what you've done unfold.
