Once
She held me tight
She held me close
Her face so bright,
So rose

Once
We joined our hands
Bathed in the light
Nothing could've stranded
Our delight

But her smile cracked
Like glass
Glowing teeth of lies
Chaotic words, emotionless
Angry flies

Then she kissed me goodbye
And by the end of spring
I began to die
Unseen

Now I sit in the dark
Wishing for her eyes,
To hear once more her words' spark:
Sweet, sweet butterflies

"Let there be light!"
And thus the first shadow was born.

A rose and a cactus fell in love.
They understood each other's thorns.

When the winds blow
free
The tree loses
a leaf
But the leaf loses
an entire tree
Lucas Mar 2021
the very roots
that nourish
also prevent
the tree
from moving

One
There is a beautiful world
Full of life and love and lust
A land in which dreams unfold
I will, I do, I must

Then

There is a world of masks
Full of lies and lows and rant
A land of troubles and tears and tasks
I won’t, I don’t, I can’t

And

These worlds are one and the same
All it takes is a little peek
To see, beneath the veil, the shame
There is nothing like what we seek
