Triste May 2018

Alive

Dance to the silence of the stars
Dream with the clouds above the seas
Sail with your paddles of hope
Against the waves of doubt and fear
Trust like a hand that holds
Romance may venture the ocean of uncertainty
But with all your heart
Love like the fire's burning flame

Triste May 2018

Muted

You are my quiet thought
And my reality's dream
You are my written poetry
And the music in my ears
You are the moon that lits my sky
And the star that sparkles in my eyes
Your words are drenched in sunshine
Warm as the blanket on a rainy afternoon
You bring colors, bright as the summer
The air smells sweet
Like mornings in June
I am in love with your mind
And I crave for your touch
Look into my heart
A meadow of violets and green
Where leaves glow like diamonds
A thousand morning dews
Of my feelings never told

Triste May 2018

Bittersweet

The paper knows
And the pen understands
That the mind is a soldier
But the heart has courage
When hellos are beginnings
But so are goodbyes
When people appear in our lives
To fall in love or break our hearts
Like sunshine lost in overcast skies.

Time

What can be more precious than time?
How each stroke creates a resonating sound
A nostalgia in every round
What can be more beautiful than time?
That breaks the dawn with painted skies
And a golden sun that dies for moon?
What can be more powerful than time?
That wounds the heart
And heals a soul?
That can stop the world
And hold two people in tune?

Poetry

A song as an art form
Is poetry
Dancing on rhythms of magical word play
And inspired by the melodies of a beating heart

Triste May 2018

Unrequited

You make my mind restless
And my heart is rather reckless
You are my sleepless night
And the reason I write
You carry a world, maybe a burden to some
But it's making you dance
To a tune I may never understand
I love watching you take every step
If only those feet are meant to dance with mine
But still you're singing the sweetest lullaby
And darling, I painfully hold on to your melody

Triste May 2018

Words

We only have words between us
A reason to smile
Fragments of the mind
A scent that lingers on
To shake my bones
And set the heart on fire

You have golden dust in your eyes
When silence creeps in
I dream, can't I?
A golden skyline
Or an ocean view
The smell of salty air
I looked at you
Words, that's how I fell for you
