 May 2019 solace and sorrow
Linux
the moon mislays its luminosity
as the stars started to decay,
they fell like crying meteors
and they kissed the sea beneath the algid breeze.
a detonation of the ocean tossed,
dripping droplets on my body.

in that night, i watched how the world I built,
reached its downfall.  

your eyes were an ambiance,
stained by thunderstorms
and tinted by the abysmal sea.
it was too deep to swim at
but i loved being drowned
and being wobbled with its breeze.  

and as you cry in pain or bliss,
i was always like being washed away
by voluminous tidal waves,
and i ended up in an island full of chiseled sand,
in there I realize,  when you cry,
i suffer.  

yet as you turned those eyes
to somebody else,
i felt like my paradise was finally stolen.

my shivery ocean evaporated
my blinking stars were ***** by dimmed clouds
my crescent was torned into pieces
and the unwanted rain poured down
showering me and the dovish land,

that's when my tears became jealous,
of how the tiny droplets stream down,
that's when i realized,
i'm already crying.  

this poem maybe the last one i wrote for you,
telling how my world was stumbled, was burned,
and was turned into ashes—
after you'd left me with my trembling toes.  

this is not a poem of goodbye,
but it's a poem of letting go.
I asked him, “what is a bird to a worm”

He looked at me and grinned “Food”

I wrinkled my nose,  “but worms don’t eat birds”

He laughed at my innocence and replied, “they do when they’re dead, and one day they’ll eat you too”
Today I missed you...

     but missing you is an empty jar
     that once contained wrays of
     sunshine
     Now it is nothing more
     than a jar...

          You see...

                tomorrow, I'll remember
                all the reasons why
                we are galaxies away
                when we used to be
                a couple of moons
                that spun in the same orbit...

Tomorrow, you'll be gone again,
but today...

     today I wanted to open the jar
     and hope I found that same
     sunshine,
     and today I wanted to catch a
     sunbeam
     to the closest moon in your solar
     system

          But missing you is empty...
            
                        Empty Jar
                        Empty Space
                        Empty
Even if nobody
Understands your words
I am glad that you chose them

Even if nobody
Understands your poems
I am glad that you wrote them
Every time I think
That I've run out of things to say
I see something that makes me
View life a whole new way

Then my mind is full of words
I want to tell you all
About this new idea
Which has so lit up my soul
She deserves everything that she wants,
but she doesn’t want everything that she deserves.
How do I show her that she deserves to be happy too?
