When I had my first swimming lesson
My instructor told me
I was a feather
Afloat the shallow end of the pool

But this is not a swimming lesson
Nor is there an instructor
I am a heavy weight
Ready to dive into a treacherous sea

You are the sea
The water
And everything in it

I am ready to dive into you
Soul first
I just hope I don't drown

I am glad,
my possible lover,
that you weren't with
someone that I
don't know

but being
happily together now
with my best friend.
based on a true story

Attentive, attentive, I was,
wrapped in your insanity
and hypnotically agreed
to ****** your parents
out of passion and love
for the menacing you.

we escaped chases
like true madmen,
and for a moment you
felt like my forever after.

I wondered why I still love you,
even when I figured that
you sold me out to the cops
and ended up questing for
another partner-in-crime
by yourself.
this poem is inspired by a dream I had a week back.

today I ran away
from a home
structured from
obstructed happiness.

lost and oblivious
in stories of the world,
I ran to the doorsteps
to a familiar stranger,
pridefully named Death.

He screamed at me
from behind the door
and chased me away,
but I couldn't budge
as I realise what love is
the moment our eyes met
at the peephole
reasons to escape from reality

I never heard of
stories larger than skies,
but yours differ,
I want to explore
a galaxy made from
your broken boulevards
I boarded your ship,
and sadly realised
I wasn't your
ideal co-pilot
Wanted to fix your broken dreams but you had someone fixing it already

standing under
yellow flicker lights
reminds me of the day,
our hands slowly met,
barely held or touched
and laughter echoes
the entire street,
but yellow flicker lights,
of today only revealed
undisclosed desires,
for the past you
used to be close to the persona in the poem until I found out he didn't feel the same
