Complete exhaustion.
I can not read your mind.
You play games that
I never learned
and never will
u n d e r s t a n d.

Stop the nonsense.
Tell me what you want.
Say it clearly,
precisely,
without
your sarcasm.
Say it to my face.
Do not hide behind a screen,
do not wear the buttons as a mask,
do not respond with "nothing much",
or I may just lose it.

And tell me why
you need to start
conversations that are
completely
pointless.

Write it in a letter,
say it on the phone,
tell it to my face.

Make it sincere,
make it true,
make it worth my time.
There are too many ways to play games in a text message.

Light spreads across the land
Footsteps trailing me in the sand

Memories flashback to me
A wonderful day I do see

Visions speak with such wonderious light
Only to be forgotten before the night

My mind turns
In perfect rounds

Of thoughts that
Revolve you

Like ugly
Polluted

Planet Earth
Follows one

Beautiful
Golden sun
I quite like this one. Metaphors are a pain for me.

abandon your lost innocence
and come to be my lover
maybe in that instant
you will know another

cling to me so fiercely
that we no longer wonder
what it is that makes us
feed the hungers

so meet me in this mystery
hold on to me tighter
abandon your lost history
and let us light the fire

a hot night, a cool breeze
static down the wires
forsake all your promises
throw them on the fires

can you feel the heat
sever the last fetter
we will not be free until
we get lost in our desire

still I talk to you
countless sunsets after

you're the eclipse
highlighting my presence
once in a while when I let you

even upon leaving you left well
I indulge in your fingerprints
then I take a step

*one
becomes two
3/3

a sick icicle
falling from it's perch-
pecked at my cheek,
tickling me a bit.
i wasn't disturbed,
but it melted,
in it's tumultuous
state of mind,
got warm,
swept my face
by flowing
downwards,
got evaporated,
it's objective of life
completely realized.
