The world put to a halt,
In lockdown
Creating this cocoon of ours.

Morning kisses
Conversations on toast
Another coffee for this sleepyhead,

It is in those seconds you do not notice
That it hits me the most.

Who will we be
When this page goes down in history?

Dressing sharp for a burger
Dancing to silence,
I will remember

Feelings on the tip of my tongue
Slowly unlocking  -

Truth lights up the dark

I fell in love
During lockdown.

If my assumptions about him are right
It is going to take more than friends for him to see the light
Jumped gun without stopping to take a second look
Scared before I had a peek under the cover of his book
All is not what it appears to be

i light up my cig

Tears
rolling down my cheeks.

Tears
rolling down my chin.

Tears,
voiceless screams.

Tears,
colorless blood.

Tears,
please cover me.

Tears,
please drown me!

Do you think you can handle me?
I can’t even handle myself.
Oh dearie me!
What a shame!

You can cover yourself with a flawless skin,
It won’t make you a flawless person.
Flawless skin person love life cover you happy
morn's cold sheet of frost
shall cover our small township
in an icy freeze
light mist didst cover
the snaking river's journey
en route to blue seas
