DaSH the Hopeful
A faint wheeze
Running through my lungs
When there's nothing else to hear

I'll drown in silence
Without the sound of you
And find solace in death so near
Without you the poetry's gone.

Don't cry, don't cry
Not now, not here
Don't let them see it anywhere
Hold your breath and count to ten
Then slowly let it out again
Point your chin up to the sky
Look up and then wipe your eyes
Put a cork in it
No one wants to see
How you're hurting
How you feel
A casual conversation to have with yourself upon the occasion of publicly-leaking eyes.

She burnt up as her life burnt down
But her screams for help did not make a sound
And all of the joys that she had ever found
Were long turned into ashes now
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

You are a rhyme I'd write over and over
With the entire page reading lover
You are a cloud of promise hanging above
You are worthy of undying love
You are a song which doesn't fade
With a lifestyle that few have led
You are a flower created to outshine a rose
You make me proud calling me yours
You are a bullet I'd gladly take
A dream from which I'd rather not wake
You are these emotions I'll never decipher
You are a mystery by far
You are the courage building inside
A treasure only seen because I can't hide
You are a mountain I'm willing to hike
The hardest puzzle rooted in my psyche
You are a queen even without a crown
And I would gladly be your clown
You are a choice I'd make with my eyes closed
The only matrix I'd gladly have transposed
You are a panorama every man desires
A she-wolf every Alpha male wishes he sires
You are a future I badly ache to have
A satisfying life I believe I deserve

the child gazed with caramel eyes
up towards the vast, dark sky
and with contentment he sighed
as he watched a dragonfly
make its way into the night

someone once said to me on a rainy day in august
"a stranger could come say hi to you
& you would respond with "i love you""

i found this thought quite funny
because they're not entirely wrong

i find it so easy to fall in love with the way people are
their walks, their talks, their bullet-wounds, their scars
i find it so easy to be mesmerized by the twinkles in their eyes
by the curves of their backs and by the way they smile when they're shy
how they scrunch up their noses and the sound of their laugh
how some of them speak slow and how some of them speak fast
the range of their voices from pretty like a bird to deep & husky
how some of them smell like the flowers of spring and others, musky
i love how each one expresses themselves through art
whether fashion or painting or poetry or whatnot
it's not just the human body but also the human soul
which is ah, so incredibly out of this world
personalities and quirks
and all the gears which make their minds work
how some cry easy and how others do not
how some laugh often and how others, not a lot
how some think of the future, others the past
then those who live in the moment, hoping it'll last
our philosophies and beliefs and the things which make us who we are
how without hope and love, none of us will go very far
at the end of the day, each one of us is similar, yet so uniquely different at the same time
but without each other, we'll never be able to shine

so yes, i am guilty of falling in love
with every stranger i bump into
it's not because im disloyal, polygamous, childish or silly
its purely because i love humans for just being human- through and through
// they think I'm insane, they think my lover is strange. but I don't have to ******* tell them anything. & i'm gonna write it all down //
