Brumous
isolation has its familiarity,
as happiness is a drug
yet not as addicting as
misery.
god forbid this feeling of deserving this suffering.

I fall fast as if
a star from a dream, did you
see — the TRAIL of LIGHT

Dawn is blazing
the world is still
this is
the time before times.
Watch the sun kiss
the moon goodbye.
we know each other better than we know ourselves...

Room full of people;
mind racing
connection chasing
silence embracing

Ton of chatter;
want to be secluded
never included
confrontation eluded

Party is over;
mind at ease
alone with the bees
feels like a disease

The only poems I’ve ever wanted to read
Were the brief stanzas of our texts.

I crave you
Like the Earth craves the Sun’s warmth.
Without you,
I feel dark, lost and incomplete.

You’re cold
But I want to warm you
Just as you warmed me with your presence
When we talked and shared,
When we loved and all.

i wish there were less emphasis
on a number on a page
that assumes our relative weight
our achievements and our fate
a mark on a page
is nothing of a gage
i burn it in my contempt
for society's dystopian, theatrical, sadistical decay
wrote this when i asked my friend to give me a prompt and she told me to write a poem about our final exams.

Do you feel my pain?
Do you feel my rage?
Each time I strongly abstain,
From pushing you away in a gilded cage.

Burning splinters of my heart, now decorate
Your loving memories with disdain.
My feelings wax and wane,
When I see you again.
