The first time

was when I was walking down the street
alone
filtering through my thoughts, like I do
minding my own business, like I do
when your scent found my nose
through
street sewages & the dancing of the
trees,
wind
it jolted me, disturbed my personal missions
after which I turned around
in hopes that I would find you around me
so I could confront you face-to-face
instead, I was left to tilt my nose up at a degree lesser than my dignity
as I tried to follow the trail of your scent back to where it came from
only to get lost  .
...he's still out there
Everything
could have been
so much
different.
If
we would have
still
been strangers.
The transformed
version of me
would never
have been in
existence.
I would have
remain oblivious
to so much
of pain.
My heart would
still be whole
ready to fall
again.
I don't know if I regret meeting you,
maybe you will never understand what it means to me.

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
Josh Pearson Nov 2017
And it stared at me again
Dead in the eyes
But I avoided its gaze reluctantly
Once again
Hoping maybe I could avoid
Its tempting hand
Hoping maybe I could escape
Its eternal grasp
When hoping for these things
Only seemed to prove my ignorance—
My naïvety.
