another stumbling block:
this one still called i,
this one,
stuck in this season's still belief.
one that
if any further summer
would be seen from
previous years, would
back streets still hang
dense in these heavy
melancholias? how
could i have bred this notion?

how could this shirt
pocket hold
such small demise for this week, right
beside the place you,
with uncertainty,
may someday call home?

the lights flare, i
curl up again.
i'm okay

a doer of nothing,
a bucket of sorrow,
I've abandoned today
and discarded tomorrow

it's a desolate day,
a melancholias month,
i finally decided that
I've had quite enough.
Aurora Soraya Dec 2018
By the vague darkness of crepuscule's foe,
Throned in eventide; Thou art an empress.
Sitting queenly like a calm hiss of ***.
Thine eyes of aurora's hold thine fortress.

Whilst laying there upon the lustrous day,
Is an emperor of dreadful distress.
Owning that place where melancholias lay.
Bestowed upon him a might to oppress.

They're separated by continuum.
Living in the words, they are antonyms.
Coloring the dullness, they are contrast.
And by his destiny they are unmatched.

She's the one he wants but can never have,
And stars above, he wrote: Our tragic love.
