Limelight, my matches.
Madeline Lee Aug 26
sweet like honey
sting like bee
cloak down —i’m swimming in
lost in like fireflies into matches
drizzle drip —got me craving
scrambling like an addict gambling
limelight got me fighting
I can’t help —I’m craving it.

Apple of My Eyes
Madeline Lee Aug 17
One bite of the freshest crunch
Crisp kiss, stolen touch
One glance at the lip. One look in the eyes
Was it sweet, honey?
Or was it sour?

Heavy was the weight
Fallen down, comes clarity
Tartness of the bite
Forbidden, yes it was
Have it in your palm
Eve got her bite, will you get yours?

Market Value
Madeline Lee Aug 20
Amount of berries surge, price drops.
Amount of berries drop, price surges.
I am merely someone flooded with tears–
How can I not fear my tears will lose all its meanings too?

i must scream
Madeline Lee Aug 17
he has no mouth and he must scream
i have a mouth and i must scream
but what for?

was the devil waiting at my door?
was it because the sun will shine no more?
was it because i can’t find the truth of life?
or was I see green as gray, and day as night?

he has no mouth but he must scream
he has a reason to scream
i have my mouth and i can scream
but what am i screaming about?
i have my mouth and i must scream
but i can’t seems to find out why?

People laugh when one says
—I am afraid of the death.
What they don’t get is,
they should be afraid if one day
one said —I am not afraid to be dead.
I for one, not afraid to be afraid
for I afraid I won’t be afraid of the loss of me.

Dew drops, river flows
Madeline Lee Aug 20
Raindrop gliding down
to the nape of the neck,
through the valley of the bone,
climbing up the mountain’s peak
where the wave crash, rivers flow.

Heavy dews flood the estuary
steady up your dinghy—
the tide’s high, dive in deep.
Reach the shore, hear the siren’s call;
That’s the nature’s beauty… are you ready for more

positive starter
Madeline Lee Aug 24
water drips down my hair
—weary floating away
clean cotton tee on me body
—on me way to start the day :)
Madeline Lee Aug 23
today is not a good day for me
when the storm cloud is the only thing i see
with gloom surrounded —and happiness numb
it brings some of my thoughts out
solemn thoughts of how I’m so alone

no echo —echo
Madeline Lee Aug 23
scream out to the valley
—but there’s no echo come back my way
spend hours crafting my show
—but no one stayed to hear

up the hill
Madeline Lee Aug 27
row, row —row the rock, roll it up the hill
fall, fall —fall, fall —it tumble down on me
row, row —row it up, responsibility.
oh no, oh no —I failed at it again.
i try, i try —I always try my best
oh no, oh no — it is never enough

Red --Yellow-- Green
Madeline Lee Aug 17
Was I that cliché
In red lights, hazy green.
The image of you and me
we were the dancing queen

You and me, beside the dance floor
You tell me to smile more
I’m on the bathroom floor
Was it me? Overkill? (Was it me? Was it me?)

Red lights, green lights.
The theme was “Are you single tonight?”
Light jokes you make of it
Then came asking
Was I mad at your yellow?
I don’t know, are you mad at me?

Red light was what I give.
Kiss on the lips, you wanted more
behind locked door
begging king, dancing queen

Tomorrow rendezvous
You and I, hotel floor
You understand no more

No, it’s not on prom night
But might as well be.
I understand no more.
Was I in red, or forest green?
I’ve seen these scenes before
****** up on the night.
Cliché, that I am
Stupid, that I feel.

— The End —
