Triste May 2018
I toss and turn
In this bed of feelings
I cannot discern
Pillow of your thoughts
Have kept me awake
And a blanket of your words
Have been playing in my head
I stare at the ceiling
A blank and empty space
Like my heart
A void that you can only fill in
I start to scribble your name
Hoping to find comfort in this game
But a lump in my throat started to sing
A grief-stricken ballad
Burning my skin
Bleeds my eyes
And I taste salt in my lips
Long have I been haunted by your absence
In between these sheets
But darling the night is long
A scarred morning I will mourn
That in her arms you belong

He had a baseball bat
In his hand
I was on the mound
I pitched in my heart
Fastball
Curveball
Change-up
****
He hit them all
Home run
Triste May 2018
Let my words find you
And let them look into your eyes
Do you see me now?
Do you feel me on your skin?
Then let my warmth linger on
Let my words touch your lips
Like a lover's passionate kiss
Let my words dance in your heart
And make your blood overflow
Let my words whisper in your ear
I Love You
Don't you know?
Triste May 2018
My pen
bleeds
A thousand
death
As he gives
meaning to my
Words
Triste May 2018
My mind is tired
Like a barren land
Nothing grows
And words don't rhyme
Except for silence who loves time
An artist I think
Has left me with nothing but an ink
Write verses to keep
And to dream in my sleep
An artist I think
Has left me with nothing but a glance
A spark of hope for another chance?
An artist I think
Has left me with nothing but a touch
An aching stroke to my weary heart
An artist I think
Has left me with nothing but a spell
Enchanting, and I have never been the same
My mind is still tired
And the artists's love is all I ever want
Triste May 2018
When darkness creeps in
And light turns into a dream
Shadow of your memories paint my bedroom walls
And tears form your image as they fall
Your silence haunts me
Screaming in my sleep
I'm awake in your absence
Wounded and shattered
Naked and lost
The once blue sky has turned gray
The flowers have withered
And the rainbow no longer in sight
The wind whispered a painful cry
A dagger stabbed to the heart
You're gone and I'm alone
In this place we used to call our own
So I'll keep the lights out
And turn your music low
I'll leave this place and burn it down
Let the fire keep me warm
As I imagine walking away from your arms
Goodbye my love
And let me bury the ashes to the ground
Triste May 2018
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
