At the other side of the cove I'm breathing
The same air that brushes your skin,
Basking in
The same light that kisses your cheeks
And I'm waiting
The same way I've waited for years.

You fall
Undisclosed
Mum in words
Clamorous effort
One catches another falling soul.

When I told you "I love you."
It was my heart  
When I chose to cross-over
Shout out that it's done
It was my mind
That was an era that started a war
A rage that erupted
Conflicting feelings
Disheveled emotions
Vague decisions  
The siren signaled
Man is the enemy
Woman ran to the open field
She looked for shelter  
Man dropped the bomb
Woman surrendered
A white flag, man also raised
Both died-  but not in spirit
Man and woman felt alive  
Man lifted the woman's hands
Together they marched as one
The darkest days have ended
If this was a siege, man and woman
Both are veterans  
The renegades of love die last

The waters are tears
Rolling and rolling
The sound, same as my heartbeat
Am nearly drowned
Surviving
Breathing
The face I've seen clearly
Now carried by the tide
A wave is still a wave
You are still you
We are no more
And I'm no longer blue.
Nina Sherizze Oct 2015
My heart is locked up in a house
With bars around
Guarded by the things I hold on to
You see me as I am
Through the window
But not through my eyes
I'm opening the doors
Slowly,
Slowly,
Slowly,
Is this the moment I've been waiting for?

The wind told me,
"My current will take you to the ocean,
like blood flowing through the heart."
And I asked the wind,
"What if the river runs dry
and the heart stops beating?"
Then, you'll find where you truly belong-
the still river or the deep blue,"
Says the fleeting wind.

Keep on walking
I can recognize you from the crowd
Stop and look back
Now do you see?
What do you think of me?
Do you even know I think of you?
Things, they are overflowing my mindful cup
Would you have the time?
I may not know you,
You may not know me.
Open up, that's what I'd want to do
My lips are sealed.
All of these are in my mind.
My heart is in my pocket
Skipping a perfect beat.
There are quite a few I wanted to tell you.
But all of these are in my mind.
