"remined" poems
The "Wonderful"waterfall"spills"upon the "wet" rocks
"Her" heartbeat is like the "morning dew" in a "shower"
Soulful eyes "glistening"remined me of the "sea" upon the "rocks!"

You reached out your hand
And so gently, wrapped it around mine.
The darkness . . .
The darkness was there,
But as he fell asleep
You remined me: I am not alone.

Death.
My Unwanted Lover
I know him by name
and I've seen all his faces
as beautiful as they are
they always remined me of a time
when it wasn't worth living
and breathing was replaced by grieving
He was my closest friend
and he understood me because we shared the same feelings
he told me he wanted what I wanted
when I was born he held me in his arms
whispering promises to me
telling me of all times that he would visit me
but I could never remember
Since I was born my life was promised to him
that he would be the death of me
I wish I would have known that he was never my lover
but the grief in so many others

Every night
I saw that girl
who roamed the dark streets
with eyes filled with smoke
and feets swaying with confusion and power.
With clothes that remined me of night sky.
She was out all night
to paint the world
in the color
of her black beautiful broken heart.
The many masks of her
hung by her wrist.
They smile, sneer and look down
at the faceless shadows
that are bound to disappear.
And though it always puzzled me
how she could smile,
after breaking so many people.
I finally understood
how it could be so hollow
and so fulfilling at same time.
I finally undersood all this
the morning when I woke up as her.

I was visiting her after seven years.
Seven years...
Has it really been that long?
I looked at her for five full minutes,
She looking back at me,
Neither of us saying anything.
"You look exactly the same", I said.
She really did.
I told her that our son had his thirteenth birthday last weekend,
And how he was now almost as tall as I was.
He might be a trouble for the ladies, I added.
She remined quiet.
I stood for a few moments longer, watching her.
Searching.
For what?
I bid her my goodbye,
A single tear drop betraying my somber smile.
I quickly brushed it away, lest she sees it.
Barring the grass,
She looks exactly the same,
I thought,
As I slowly walked away from the cemetery.

You give me a feeling..
One I can’t help but think I’ve always missed
The one I knew all the lucky ones got to feel when they were kids
You know? Like, when they’re all giddish and bubbly
Almost as to say “My cup is overflowing”
You make me feel childishly silly and grown up all at once
Kind of like when dad would give me a sip of beer sitting at the dining room table, waiting for dinner
The feeling of a love
A love that’s safe
A love without judgement
A love that screams acceptance
The kind of love where you dance about to your favourite songs at 00:00
But it’s not really dancing
It’s just flopping of arms and kicking of feet
Running around on tippy toes
Wearing an oversized T-shirt and no pants
The kind of love where two bodies sway in the kitchen to the sound of a boiling kettle at 03:00
It’s an embrace that sets you free
It’s toothbrushes kissing in the sink after that goodnight cig
It’s bare feet meeting in secret under the covers
It’s being doused in ecstasy whenever skins intertwine
It’s fingers running through unkempt hair
It’s laughing at nothing and everything at once
It’s waking up to breakfast in bed
It’s running shower taps, temperature perfectly set
It’s being carried to the tub when you can’t find the will to move
It’s you washing my hair
It’s tears being wiped away, palm wrapping around my face
It’s being remined that I’m alive when I felt dead inside
It’s the voice of reason when my mind turns grim
It’s two arms folding gently around my waist
It’s flashing a grin
It’s two hopeful eyes staring at me
As if to say “You can’t do any wrong”
It’s hearing “I love you” when I don’t feel very strong
It’s not always perfect
But it’s honest
It’s beautifully pure
It’s knowing everything will turn out quite alright
As long as you’re by my side
