Dear,

"Lucky"

are little stars
As they watch over as you walk at night;
Guide each step you make
and smile when you take a glimpse of the skies
Lucky are pouring tears
As they caress your cheeks and feel your warmth;
They're your sunshine, fire and storm—
The fragments you keep inside your beating heart
Lucky are silly jokes
As they make you blush and laugh out loud;
Making your eyes smile—
For a second at least, you're free from this world
Lucky are love songs
As they touch your lips whenever you sing;
They are the words you want
to say and to feel, to you they mean a thing

     To be the skies;
     To be inside your heart;
     To be a huge part of your world;
     To mean a thing;

Oh lucky are these lines
as they breathe out that, which I keep inside of me—
A letter, a scream, a poem;
How I wish for nothing great but just To be


truly yours,

dear

And just when she
was about to read
a foreword,
–again
It's already what she
had always expected
and feared,

Two hearts gave up on each other out of fear and the saddest part was, they were only starting to beat.

I drew your heart on a piece of paper
and painted it with pastel colors
It's sad,
because,
you wanted it to be vivid
But darling I held my brush,
again,
against the palette

"I tried to hide it and fight it",
said the girl
– said everyone's crying shoulder
"But for once
I just want to feel
that someone can stand up for me too
in times when I can't seem to find the strength
to do it for myself."
Then with trembling lips and teary eyes,
*she smiled.

Sitting.
Inside a four walled place

building another made-up space
where the voice of reality is
a background melody
as I sing to the lyrics of you
from my memory

Smiling.
Unconsciously I look like a fool

directing another romantic film
where you’re still meant to be, the one
that revives each part of me
that has died long time ago
in the graveyard of your memory

Daydreaming.
Writing words I wish you would say

and painting images I hope would stay
Still inside this made-up space
where we move in a very graceful pace
towards where you and I are the reality
towards creating memories of our destiny

I don't care. Right here, right now, I know we are the truth from a memory. At least we were never a lie made and pushed into the reality.

Dear Love
Like a flower on the ground
I  stand on my own
I look up and watch the stars at night
And count the rays of light in the morning
Day by day, Dear Love, like a flower
I keep on waiting
I miss the soft caress of one wind
And long for the cool breeze of one breath
Whispering in my ears
Tingling the nape of my neck
And I, like a flower waving and swaying
Turning and then bending
As if beautiful music is playing
I, like a flower on the ground
Dear Love
I would dance to feel you around

Hi, Love. This one, I wrote while waiting for your return. Never really thought you won't.
Lizley Nov 2015
It’s cold and calm I feel it right in my veins
Making its way to my heart

Slowly

Every second a ghost
It haunts my lonely soul
Scaring my strength away

Slowly

Why do I have to
To wear this blanket of blues
My skin it’s frozen and yet

Slowly

More of the ice keep enveloping me
I’m falling to the depths

Slowly

It’s so cold and it’s so calm I can’t feel my veins.

There are birds in the ocean
Little white waves on a wide blue cape
They kind of swim, kind of fly and  kind of dance
Little bright hopes trying to escape

Though I try to,
I can only catch them with my eyes
Though I want to,
I can only reach up to where the horizon lies

See there are birds in the ocean
Even though we know they're meant for the skies

Sometimes we want to make decisions but these decisions are stuck inside inhibitions where they can't seem to find an escape.

In another dimension you could take heed of her dreams;
                  a desire no deeper than a pair of wings
                  praying she can soar the skies, again,
                  like airplanes do

Of all the dark rooms I have visited in my life
There's this one which my heart,
                                     my tears;
                                     and blood;
            have built a home at
Every part of me clashes in each wall
And I can feel my consciousness fade out with the rest of the world
I bathe in my existence alone
(in the deepest secrets that flow in my veins)

            Scratches on the floor.
            Footprints on my heart.
            Wrecks from the ceiling.
            Cobwebs in my mind.

Sighs
Warm and heavy and bittersweet sighs;
The forces within are the air I breathe
It suffocates my lungs but still allows me to live
It is toxic and I like it,
                                     every
                                     single
                                     corner
                                     of it
It is an obscure, bad, bad room only my alter ego knows about
Like a cozy place for making love.
Like a perfect space for plotting crimes.

If there is none that makes up our souls
then why does a little bit of you make me considerably whole
If there is none that bridges our hearts
then why does yours beat together with mine from the start
And if there is none that needs to be heard or said
then why does each word revive a spot in us that has long been dead

You are the worst nightmare
A cruel vision of abandonment
You appear as a dream come true, or you try to
then you turn into the darkest version of The Knight
a scared, a scarred little girl could ever imagine

You are the worst nightmare
whispering it's just natural for you to happen
That she should just forget and get over you,
that you are you and nothing would change
"So little girl stop your drama"

You are the worst nightmare
For after that you keep appearing in different nights
screaming everything changes, like feelings
But dear nightmare do you really have one of those now
when you only turn around justifications to save yourself

From your worst nightmare
That you are you -
a (k)nightmare
that little girl will cry over
because for her you were the most beautiful

Oh you are the worst nightmare
for only such beautiful nightmares could do such things -
          hurt her heart the most,
          stay in her memory the longest,
          and **** her dreams the hardest

You didn't love her, or maybe you did, but you just wanted to prove you could be a knight.

Monster

as forbidding as the mask you wear
to hide the unfaithful face,
the treachery
and the pretense

the aversions,
an ire
the price you pay for a well-played game
of poisoning hearts,
Monster!

not hiding under my bed,
but obverse, bearing deadly fangs

yes,
your venom might have killed this body
but see,
you're just a monster Hydra
whilst I've got the Phoenix in me

Last night the alcohol filled my system
and I laughed so hard
pearls came rushing down my cheeks
One, two, three - more than many
Last night I cried and filled an ocean
while I got drained
of the remnants of a one true love
together with the one real agony
And last night I tried to fill me up again
with thoughts of forgiving
and a decision of forgetting
Well last night at least, I really tried
Today I woke up
with a brand new hangover
and without the same old heartburn
Yes finally
Today, the sun greeted me
and I smiled back, "Good morning."

Now off my heart goes.

Keep your body next to mine
I need this warmth,

Keep your tongue in my mouth

Keep me inside you
I'll keep you,
I love you
Just keep your body next to mine

As my nose touch the nape of your neck

Once everything would be gone
You could live without me but never the other way around

Shhhh

Yes I probably should just keep my mouth shut
about this
about you
about *us

About that hell breach of trust;

About the evil you probably should've not done
to me
and to her
and I heard, to another
To each one of us, the "one you love" eh?

I wonder into how many
broken. little. pieces.
your childish empty heart split
That you could lend each one of us
one part of it

Shhhh

Yes I probably should just keep my mouth shut
but I've had enough
I am tired
of catching nosy stares
and of being the kind little martyr

The respect,
the hope, that small trust
that was left
All gone
All drowned into disgust

It ain't a bitter feeling
not even bittersweet
darling, say
it's just a one deep sigh
after one tiresome and foolish afternoon play

But
Shhhh
don't worry kid
Though I realize all this time I have done so,
I'd still be keeping my mouth shut

About you
About us
About that ****, breach of trust
Yes I'm keeping my mouth shut
but I'm letting this verse do all the blab

Go bid your goodbye

(I'll be sorry for myself)
I'll always paint a smile
(The tears will never stop)
Go walk away
(Stay, I'm begging you)
Leave without hard or hurt feelings
(Leave them with me, I'll carry them for you)
Find your space, your place
(It's here by my side, is it not?)
Don't look back
(Look at me, just look at me again)
If we're meant to be
(Yes we are, we were, and we could still be)
We will meet again someday
(How about today?)
I am fine
(Baby, I'm so torn, so broken and dead)
I will be fine

Don't worry now*

I want to run away,
to detach myself from myself
Leave behind that ball of pain building in the depths
Inside this heart, inside of me –
            inside the love you never feel
            when you hold me or look at me
            or when your fingers ring the bell;

It’s time to say goodbye,
to detach myself from myself
from this solitary brokenness which I forever felt
But first, tell me how you begin
to live and smile again
Tell me
How do you escape and free yourself
from being clothed in pain?

December First,
you sit inside the plane
— a guest
a V.I.P. so cool, so breezy
everyone has been waiting for

To see, to feel, to experience
your smile and and all your grandeur,
     the sparkling clothes
     with the matching high heels
     and your elegant make-up

Oh *December First

You are the galaxies
— that hold the precious stars
the gift of light, of joy
everyone has been longing for

We groom ourselves
and bring out the treasures,
      the pennies we've worked so hard for
We grab our cameras and rush
Parade our way to where you land
Our eager eyes and reopened hearts
are now ready for all your surprise

Amuse us, make us drunk in love
We'll take a shot of you
Come so fast, so grand, so—
*touch down

Sam walks around the galaxies
and reaches for each star that he passes by
Hoping he’d get warm from even just one,
– or two
of those flickering lights
And I stared.
Sam wanders in circles
looking  for utopia
under the bushes, above the clouds
Out there somewhere
there might be a Shangri-la
And I stared.
Sam examines the deepest seas
Two hundred, then five
–  a thousand meters below
wondering if he can still build a campfire
and enjoy his sweet beer  and s’mores
And I just stared.
But Sam stared back.
Sam pulled out his empty heart
and stitched me up in there
curious of how it would feel
So together with his heart I beat,
then I was beaten
Because Sam was a scientist,
and he wanted to know what love is
He wanted to test if it could ****
and I –
I was just his willing experiment

Open your eyes
Am I not there?
Behind the spectrum of lies
Excuses and alibis
Am I a blur?

Am I just a specter?
A hollow ray of nothingness
In Gehenna with no bliss
Open your eyes...

Today
there will be both thunder and rainbow
in the manner you'll meet my stare
The sun will try to keep its cool
but we'll both blush and try to look away
I will put up my umbrella so
I'll float while resisting the sweet skies
But still, in cloud nine there'll be gravity
so I'll fall all over again and meet your eyes
The butterflies will then be constant
and we will blush but the gazes will stay,
Then there will be both thunder and rainbow
and we will hardly, we'll hardly breathe

I hear you
I hear that scream you've been keeping inside
I hear every drop of tear you never shed
I hear those rants trying to break free
I hear you wishing
        to the heavens;
        on a well;
        and while blowing candles;
for a voice
Though I hear you
So clear
So loud
The most deafening I ever heard,
I hear you.
So here's to you
and to your silence
You need not a better voice that would resound everywhere,
You need better ears that would listen every time

A mo[u]rning poem.
Lizley Dec 2015
Hope to see you soon
Hope not to see you soon
What am I
What am I telling the moon?
Should keep it a secret, should keep this to myself
But how can I, how can I?
It can’t be helped
Am I willing to fight?
Are you worth the fight?
It’s not wrong I know, but it’s certainly not right
It’s getting dark, the moon will soon be here
with his Light, do I have the right to stare?
Maybe
when the stars begin to appear,
Little hopes will shine
Be it unclear
Maybe when this fire inside constantly burns
I’ll be that Light, and thy moon will make its turn
