Dream of You
Mitch Prax Aug 2022
Don't let me close my eyes-
wake me if I do,
even if I am dreaming because
no dream can compare to the one I lay beside.
I want to dream of you
with eyes wide open.

Between Us
Mitch Prax Aug 2022
It’s mostly silence and sorrow
between us now.
We’re not lovers anymore,
but we will always have this
miracle between us,
the kind that only angels know
when the heavens glance
upon her celestial face.

Gone
Mitch Prax Aug 2022
There is nothing I can say
to make you want to stay.
Nor will staring at our photographs
or replaying our shared laughs.
Nor will reading your horoscopes
or your old envelopes.
All I can do is to move on
and hope that you are gone.

Stirring
Mitch Prax Aug 2022
The night has a way
of stirring the mind and memory.
Silence and shadow dance
to the rhythm of nostalgia
and everyone who held and broke this heart
flash before my my eyes.
Which of them will I take as my muse tonight
as I put pen to paper?
Shall it be the one who hurt me,
the one I loved or the one I thought
I forgot about so very long ago.

To Begin
Mitch Prax Aug 2022
Maybe most relationships fail
because they start as lust.
Maybe the best way to begin is
with appreciation
and friendship.

Moving On
Mitch Prax Aug 2022
To move on
is not to find someone new-
to move on
is to have no one
but still love
yourself.

Garden of Love
Mitch Prax Aug 2022
I want to gather all of our love
and plant it into our Earth.
I want to watch what grows
and nurture it with my life.
Only the sweetest flowers will bloom-
they will grow so high that even
the skies will sing their praise.
Let us never stop expanding
this vast garden of love.

Last Thread

In the end,
I had no choice but
to cut the last thread

Mirrors
Mitch Prax Aug 2022
The page is a mirror
and each word reflects who we are.
These sentences are reflections
of our souls and
it can be euphoric

Ordinary Beings

We are merely

Such glimpses into

Just Life

We spent four years
wounding each other?
Is that love?
Some people would call us mad,
but that's what I just call
life.

Oh Chai
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
Oh Chai,
you cleanse this soul.
Your warmth rushes through this body
on the way to this frozen heart.
So sweet you are,
I need you every night.
Oh Chai,
it's you that makes me feel alright.

Chai
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
It's late at night,
I don't know what to write.
There's a hint of chai in the air
to chase away the despair.
With Chai as warm as can be,
how could I not feel glee?
I pick up the pen and close my eyes-
it's just me, my Chai
and the night skies.

Irony

We fall

Blurred
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
I couldn't see it,
love had blurred my vision
but the warning signs were
as clear as day.
Then you let me go,
and suddenly,
I could see again but
it was too late.

Diary Excerpts #66
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
Dear diary;
Once again,
I am shutting myself away
to give myself a chance to heal.
I find nothing but pain and sorrow
outside these walls that
have served me well
too many times
before.

Hollow
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
Is 'hollow' an emotion?
It is thought of as feeling nothing,
but isn't that enough to warrant an emotion?
Maybe we need a better word for
what this feeling of hollowness really is-
is it not something we can feel
deep within our gut?
Is there such thing as an
emotionless state of being or
is the only way to achieve that
in death?

Two Islands
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
What was once a mighty continent.
Like the land we shared,
this heart was torn in half.
Now we are but two islands
drifting further away
upon the solitary sea.

Glass Heart
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
I lost count
of how many times
you said "forever".
How many promises
of forever have I heard?
I think I have lost count.
Promises break faster than a
glass heart and I'm tired of
picking up the pieces.

Greater the Chance
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
From the beginning,
I knew our time was limited
but that did not stop me from choosing you.
Perhaps I thought and hoped that
the more times we said 'I love you',
the greater the chance that
we would make it.
