Poems for…
Who are you?
Stranger in my lands
Singing
My ears intercept
I...
Form an oath
to order...
To seek you out
find you
Whoever you may be...
an order
a sealed envelope from you to I
Stranger...
Calling forth...
A spell
From you to myself...order
Who are you?
One, who sideswiped me
Clashing of flesh, glittering of heart
Your fingers traced me effortlessly
Silenced me
There's so much for me to speak of,
but I remain speechless
glittering on the inside
bruised skin where we collided
I'll wear your bruise as a tattoo
it doesn't hurt...promise
Sideswiped, blinded, robbed of the pain within
glittering on the inside
butterflies ringing loudly even you could hear
Little songs I never knew play
Little glittering songs
Kiss the bruise
I'll wear it proudly
promise...
It's something to hear your
Heart beating beneath the floorboards
Try as I might to ignore it's pleading
Even as a new heart grows in its place,
It calls
Begging to hold on
All I can do is close my eyes and
Remember why it's buried
Why it was time to abandon it
Everything it once held has spilled
Reclaimed by roaring forces
Perhaps I'll have to live with those
Echoing beats
Even if the sun has set so long ago
I woke with a mouthfull of snow
The snow that once fell on us both
How cruel winter has been, only for spring to bleed it's way in without consideration
How quick mother is to move on. To paint the world a fresh coat
How I wish to hold onto the white bits of winter
With the Snow that encapsulated our hearts
How stupid of me
I woke with a mouthful of melting snow
How eager it is to escape me
How even you so wished to flee
I'll be standing here with a fountain in me
Pockets of soggy poems
Perhaps I should wring myself out of all the old. Shield myself from the new, and become a statue
Frozen between seasons
A monument of what remained of me, and maybe you could return one day and this is all that you will see...
Even gold and marble
Don't last forever
From the cracks, bloomed burning
Flowers
Nourished from the fountain in me
reprieve of my heart
Given new life
Such is the nature of forces unknown
Blooming in the cracks
Bringing me back...
I woke up today
Under a blanket of snow
You woke long before
Where did you go
I'll blame myself for
Sleeping so late
Maybe I'll walk your way
And find you again one day
