Bees look Sky cusps Breeze wafts We’re hot - Purple lava Eyes of Europa Woken-hopers Space-expanders Not expander-landers Spouting spirit handers… Mars won’t surrender - Venus will avenge her Life will flower Despite your weather Whole species louder Visions of forever… Fix us in the downer… Secure your wager: Lobotomised-agenda That feeling of smugness Won’t linger forever, Stay in the gloom Long enough to skew Maths has one rule - Our minds are a tool To consolidate you But in patrolling our thoughts, The truth sings you through…

The tides of Europa
Hold me at the tip of your tongue And speak not, intimately In suspension of that trembling scaffold Lest it crush our unsaid space Touch me the right way And say the wrong nothings That in ambivalence I may stray To some mistaken grace **** me over in your dream, Lay me out, exposed, And carry out your shrouded theatre Recompense for your absence in mine And gently, in your tangled strings of pathos Tie me at the cusp of your love

Cusp
Remembering, when... occasions, weekends were eagerly celebrated even weekdays...any day was met with enthusiasm but, how did all these special days become so ordinary? how...why, did these red-marked dates become unimportant? why are we here now, in this phase? at this point? existing...standing on a plateau...where, life offers no changes...no alternatives... it's like...a storm decides to stop at midstream chooses to stay...not just passing through no swerving, no immediate changes in its direction. the adventurous soul in us, hides...its spark, dies sunlight looks dim...the moon is without a glow clear sea water seems muddy...wading, becomes so tiresome...legs and feet hurt so much, from swimming...day by day ...away...from cacophony... it gets to be weary, to be reminded of a wrong choice, or a wrong decision made, to always rise...from a restless sea most times, we taste impure water contaminated...and adulterated where acerbic, detrimental  words float, further aggravating existing emotional sores, creating more lesions in the mind. what's worse, the ears that choose to be deaf, are further pierced the already wounded heart and dashed ego, are further stabbed     they all could one day, be numbed .......by more of these ordinary days.... I wonder if it's better...to linger on a plateau or to be on the cusp...of a fall... Sally Copyright April 17, 2016 Rosalia Rosario A. Bayan

ORDINARY DAYS
I'm an odd girl Born on the autumnal equinox On a cusp virgo nor libra Not that I believe that matters anyway I feel Mother nature wanted me different She gave me a Summer soul in a Fall body She gives me the warm So I have to endure the cold In every aspect of my life that has been true I am the sweetheart But I prefer to be alone I want the sun But I can't always handle the heat Because im hot enough without it Im meant to be out of place The girl who knows the best bands But listens to the saddest music I love the world in fall the way the breeze chills and everything is crisp The stars and moon seem brighter But I can barely handle it... Because soon everything will die

Fall
I was Vivacious, lively, wild. A girl who was wild and free. I was the romantic, the addict. the unhealthiest of combinations. With you I confused Trust with Lust. they say you wanted this from the first moment, and in the end you were deadly. there was no middle ground you would **** all on this earth, setting the place on fire and the water cannot save me if you cannot have me. it is okay to be breakable, to never rely on anything as indecisive as chance. to be fake, be secretive to stop giving it more attention than it needs. Temptation lies ahead. but romance is still alive, if you put forth the effort. I need to learn to fall in love with a person- not just the idea of falling in love. I should know by now that I can be deeply emotional or completely merciless, there can be no in between. I am a Mermaid, I am a Phoenix , I will rise from the ashes of this broken love and break free of the tides that have all but drowned me over the years. You have no power over me. I am Vivacious, lively, wild. A girl who is wild and free. I AM the romantic, I will always be the addict. the unhealthiest of combinations, but also the most exciting.
