Poems
Mar 2011
dayfall
i finally knew
the scope
of my world
yes
it is only as big
as the days and nights
framed
within the window panes
i will not dive into it
nor can i run away
from the everyday changing
of lighting
do not
let me escape
this floating scent of alcohol berries
under my throat
i wish you would
hold me down
and kiss me until my eyes bleed
tears
you at seven in the afternoon
left me in some sort of nonsensical dream
i have learned to make myself
delighted
by sitting here
watching the night slowly
disguising the color of my skin
what is its true color will i ever know
i have given in
to the light
and the lack of it
so i could get along with time
my heart and soul
are given to you
i only need to keep this numbness
underneath my eyelids
you keep
inside the same clothing drawer
where your medicine bottles scatter
the gift she gave you
what remains of the life you had before me
and the love you had before me
or perhaps
you still do
i only have my
silence
the temporary escape
as cheap as a six-pack of mood-cooler
the windows of the house at the street's end
were already lit
i wonder what kind of stories
are going on behind them
do they read like mine
feel like mine
do they make somebody cry
too
there are so many things i do not know
where we are
where we are going
where we are meant to be
it is here
the dark
that will soon reunite me with
my lonely nightmares
