The moon illuminated her
as she flowed with the rhythm
of the shadows

She cascaded her body
with a passion
she only knew too well

Her desolation slowly adrift
with each flying second
all consumed in a beautiful madness

No one would glimpse of
the illusion she brought to life

No one would hear
of the music she sought

No one would believe
a woman free in her own course

A woman dispossessed
by the eyes of an audience

A woman left to her dreams
as if she was insignificant

But she danced
despite the crowd telling her to stop

But she danced
despite being burned and bruised
for the fantasies she loved
before anything else in the world
Title inspired by Haruki Murakami's book of the same name. Although I haven't read it even once. Hahaha no idea if my poem is even remotely similar to the book all I know is that the namesake is catchy. :))

Someday, one day, far from now
My hurt will mark your crease-less brow
My face will flit throughout your thoughts
And you will feel me- know my loss.

You'll catch your breath and wonder why
Your sightless eyes will search the sky
And precious lips will part and say
A name the wind will brush away.

No answers in the endless blue
You'll close your eyes, accept the truth:
I'm no where now, and everywhere
I saturate the very air.

Moments, seconds, memories
In grass beneath the swaying trees..
You'll see our forms; together then
Will never touch or feel again.

Someday, one day, far from now
My absent hurt will mark your brow
My face will flit throughout your thoughts
And you will feel me- know your loss.

If the walls could speak right now
                  Everyone in this world would be crying and rolling on the floor
**It's not just the fact that the walls are talking...

Even the most darkest of voids
Can dream about the most purest of lights.

Feeling

Have you ever felt...
That feeling?
Where you're so empty you can actually fall inside the void which consumes you,
When you're so broken that whenever someone touches you they pull back hissing,
When you are so lonely you call out to the birds which paint the sky-in hope that they will sit on you shoulder,
Have you ever felt it? That feeling?
That horrible slimy whisper wordlessly chanting "You are useless"
Well I have.
And it is crap.
But one day you'll wake up and a small drop will fall Into that void
Day by day
Night by night
Hour by hour
Second by second

And it may not seem like much
                         But it amounts to a lot in the end
Until that feeling you feel
                                       Is nothing more
Than subtle laughter

               **Coming from you.

Your blade
 Feb 2015 NYC
Maha Salman
Your blade kisses you like they never did
Your blade marks his love like they never did
Your blade is always there like they never were
Your blade proves you human like they never did
Your blade protects you like they never did
Yet your blade still hurts you like they always did
And your blade still leaves unpleasant memories like they have done too.
Ironic isn't it.
You come to your blade for relief
Yet the results are still the same
Except this time you're in control of the pain  you feel.
