O CAPTAIN! MY CAPTAIN!!

I see you going away from the coffee table, I only remember your back. I forget your face. I only have memories of that moving away.

You said you love the Rain, but you opened your Umbrella.

You said you love the wind, but you closed the Windows.

You said you love the Sun, but you ran for Shade.

As the same way, when you say you love me, I am only afraid.
The lines are stolen from a great writer The Franz Kafka. I try to write by my self this piece in my own way.
Autumn is calling...
It's the perfect time to take a leisurely stroll
through the forest,
breathe in the crisp air
and enjoy the magical views that autumn offers.
Under the canopy of shimmering yellow and red
where a symphony of trees plays a soothing melody,
if you listen carefully.

Come to me with a heavy heart
and I'll show you
how fast
the fall
is

We are nonbelievers
Our skin sparkles in that light
We glow from past mistakes
And trauma fuels our fight

Never speak of pain
Or wear a wound on our face
We're better than that, mature
Mentality-a constant race

Emotions are a betrayal
Hints of suffering in our eyes
Pain dusted across our face
Lives being woven through lies

I am a nonbeliever
And with that, I stand tall
But a part of me decays
Every time I see another angel fall
They hated the snow she provided them
So they can build their snowmen.
They angered her, so she froze them in,
And they wished and prayed for the sun again.

She brought them light and butterflies
To hush their mouths and halt their cries.
They asked for roses, beets, and tangerines.
She cried to grow their floral dreams.

Her tears halted their outside time,
So they begged and asked for more sunlight.
She stopped her tears and obeyed their request,
And brought bees, fireflies, and sweat.

The flowers she brought gave them flus.
The bees she gave stung them blue.
The sun scorched and burned their skin,
So they begged and begged for the cold again.

She blew wind to cool them off.
She showed colors of brown and apricot.
She left leaves and pinecones around their house,
But they raked them up and threw them out.

They angered her, so she froze them in,
With hopes to never see them again!
She did everything they requested,
But they hated her no matter what she did.

See my knees?
can’t you tell?
There’s not a thing
that when I fell
I should have hit it,
dads loudest yell.
Very personal piece but feel free to interpret however :)

A fallen leaf
from the tree
loves him more
like before.
The tree don't forget
neither do that leaf,
both knew the fact
their life is beneath.
Seasons passed
bodies lied still
and waiting to bear
that end is coming near.
But no one really cares
they adore and miss
their love is eternal
because they never kissed.
Some love stories brew in admiring not in consuming.
