noir
BAYA Sep 2020
Les lumières
ont
une couleur amère
la couleur de ma chair
a envahi mon sang
glaçant mes frissons
un echo s'entend
je suis morte dedans

Boldness
BAYA May 2020
There is a grace in disgrace
And a hope in failure
For there is a chant of happiness
in each of your blood strings
when they flow to your cheek
they tell you to March strong
And hold hope in your deeds
For there is a good step
After a silly whirl
In the dance of your life

Cave of rage
BAYA May 2020
Tonight
Tears robbed my frame
Of its tender mien
I am but a tremor
Of a stormy weather
Wrath has taken seat
Kindled a fire in
And is resting crossed legs
In shadows and ill rest
Tomorrow
I might be part-living
Risen by the sunshine
That smothered in the lie
And unmasked the feelings
With a kiss to my eyes
May 2020 · 89
My ocean
BAYA May 2020
I have found now
My inner peace
In a sunrise
Behind a breeze
I have rested
Along a tree
Dampened
By a
Melodious wind
I have gathered
So many sheaves
Of sun and light
Above a cliff
I am watching
My symphony
Sailing away
Inside I breathe
The sweet music
Is mine to live.

Goodbye
BAYA May 2020
The tenderest embrace
Of your heart in my eyes
Left an impression
Of pure happiness
For your lines
Are now carved in my life
May 2020 · 92
Maybe I am petty
BAYA May 2020
Like shattered clouds I lie
A bruised smile on the sky
Did I tarnish the dawn
With yellow in the hues
And guilt as my cue
Is my trunk undone
And my leaves on the floor
In a pretty evening
Cherished by the living
I hide in the sunrise
Behind the cloud of doubt
Cast on my own light

A clearing
BAYA May 2020
Bright was the light
Painted on you
When it melted
Shadowy curves
Into the depth
Of your greyness
Soft is the cold
When it tickles
Against your heart
Sharp is the breath
That you engulf
With eyes open
Just then a dream
Stripped your mind
Of its long rest.
May 2020 · 92
A waltz with you
BAYA May 2020
I roamed the Earth
With a peek at the sky
Breathed through Oceans
With a whiff of the tide
Glided on your smile
Spring, yes, brimmed my eye.

Emerald
BAYA May 2020
My soul rules my spine
Has taken the helm
Off the wind of reason
What a storm of chance
That has married our sail
For I am a gazer
In this insane illusion
Which has become my stone
May 2020 · 88
Shush
BAYA May 2020
I have taken my soul too late
For too long again it ached.
I lulled the shame to sleep
And shut my tears too deep
I cannot grasp at my light
And warm the frigid sight.

Misty stare
BAYA May 2020
Whenever I try
I feel the restrain of passion
Whatever I dream
I feel the mist in my heart
It’s there so strong
Can’t you see my soul
Riveted on you

Mirage of stars
BAYA May 2020
Through lidded eyes I wonder
Where are my stars in slumber
Though focused my eyes abscond
From the doze of ghosts and thoughts.
May 2020 · 81
Lost afloat
BAYA May 2020
The tears rolled
Left a furrow
Of fitful sleep
It is my lot
To roam my life
Like a small mouse
And strike in
The shadowed lights

Portrait
BAYA May 2020
I found so much lustre,
In a broken cloud,
Painted with veiled tides,
It foamed in a shudder.
Beautiful sunset in my mind,
You brought into my heart,
The colours of the night,
Alight with laughter.
May 2020 · 81
Dropping tears
BAYA May 2020
Tears chilled my eyes
Reeled through my mind
Shifted anxiety
Tangled with destiny
Threw over my shoulder
A gust of cold laughter
And brought joy closer
To eyes left scaldinger

Lost dream
BAYA May 2020
I’ve bruised the waves’ trace
By whirling in their wake
I've shattered the moonlight
By escaping the clouds
I've smothered the silence
With a cry to the stars
And embraced my shadow
A collapsed piece of sky
May 2020 · 110
Heartache
BAYA May 2020
J'ai trouvé dans mes rires
Une amertume ouverte
Un cœur brisé à vif
Une odeur de passé
A partagé mes peines
Dans l'océan turquoise
D'un soleil sans son ciel
May 2020 · 78
A tremor
BAYA May 2020
Life’s been unexpectedly kind
Unsure and shy
I’ve rolled my lips to cry
Hindering my crisp sigh
From escaping my lips
And tearing at the seal
May 2020 · 72
My love
BAYA May 2020
The life I've led have been immense
The smiles I shed have been few
Intense memories made their torments
Rake about my gibbering shadow
Teasing my tears anew
Wrecking my character into
The shining light of optimism
That sparkles our flickering smile
May 2020 · 92
Brilliant tints
BAYA May 2020
I miss your lustre when it shined on my side
And enveloped all my sight with cherished dankness.
Do you know oh my heart, I have written the sounds
So you may remember, the depth of my land
Where sunrise sparkled and made it ludicrous…
…to want your smile on my lips
And your heart on my ribs

Relief
BAYA Apr 2020
I thought I had something
Truly gentle
To rock my soul
Into oblivion
When thoughts shatter
And bring afloat
****** vessels
I thought I could
Within my soul
Pierce the secret
And find it there
Within the wreck
Unbruised, untouched,
To soothe my lines
Into their rest.
Apr 2020 · 72
Marriage
BAYA Apr 2020
Can I say yes to you?
Promise to my future,
That I won’t neglect you?
Can I tear my bones
Together with my breath
To wave them with yours?
Can I trust my tongue,
To utter the right sound?
And hide behind a truth:
Affection for you.
Apr 2020 · 68
A silly thought
BAYA Apr 2020
Trust my soul to waver
By the glistering rays.
Trust my smile to burst
With a glimpse at the sky.
My dimple to swallow my pride.
Admitting to the clouds.
To the wind, to your smile,
How much…I love thee.
Apr 2020 · 90
Elation
BAYA Apr 2020
“ I feel the love so utterly
Now that my joy elected home within my ribs”

Sail Away
BAYA Apr 2020
Just watch me burn,
When I’m at sea.
Watch me melt
In misery.
Ripple my wrath,
Along the beach
And take penance,
For my reprieve.
Apr 2020 · 92
Faith
BAYA Apr 2020
My steps faltered
When they advanced
No worries could alter
Such an advent
I have perused
So many verbs
But none so true
As those You shared
I have found here
An inner peace
So much welcome
In silent tears
And a glistering
Smile in peace.
