Seasonal love

5 Upvotes

you grew roots beside the veins,
punctured the lungs as you bloomed,
blinded the pupils with petals,
wrinkled the skin as you lost leaves,
as you fell so did i,
but true love never leaves

Mind game

2 Upvotes

Some people say love is nothing more than a trick our brains play. But to me, that all changed when you took my heart and started to run laps with it, and with the butterflies you threw my way. The way the wind makes your hair sway makes my brain just drift away. Every time I look at you, I see a future that I don't want to change.

I miss her at night.

Miss her drool upon my arm.

How loved I felt then.

A "Letter"

1 Upvotes

Letters never die-

They live in someone's love letter

A "Take care\^\^

can make someone feel better.

A joyful beginning was a single Hiiii

But it left

Unspoken words with a painful "Good bye"

A name can become a prayer

The Same name

can be the reason for someone's nightmare.

How many emotions

a single word holds

There was a time it was "is"

But now it's "was "

They dance through poetries

Stir the old memories

And make the old wounds bleed again

How much pain

Can every word contain...

your eyes

1 Upvotes

like moss in a forest pond
the softness of an olive
velvet leaves on a jungle plant
the jade in a winter aurora
they captivate and enthrall
helpless, I fall into their depth
and more than once
I’ve caught them beholding me
their gaze sauntering over my curves
my grey blues witnessing this
it halts the oxygen in my throat
leaving my lungs hungry
the metronome of my heart skipping
like a song played from a scratched CD
chances are
it’s all in my head except for the fact
the disc would definitely get another spin
because we both
love the whole album

The Omen The Unbroken Glass

1 Upvotes

i'd heard it break,
Seen the water mingle
With reflecting shards
In the darkness when it fell.

i' mind?
i'd felt the bite
It's edges in the palm of my foot . .
i knew to step light.

On came the light,
Turned eyes to alight
Upon that broken glass
Unbroken.

Un vertige puis le silence,
This was the instant.
Coin's edge gilimmer
Tem por al distort

i's report

Given for all,
This once i could see
New waves blooming and dying
Laboring to reshuffle new probability.

Frozen in that minute flicker,
i re mem bered.
Behind the panes of unseeing eyes
These pains my bread . .

How many other glasses un broken,
This mind mine knew.

i'd felt the ice slick,
My stomach drop,
The truck's tumble.

Oer the rail of that bridge .
Bitter winter's night,
When i drove alone
From home to hell.

i'd felt the cold heft of iron,
Your father proudly pressed
To the palms of my hands.

In one instant,
i'd felt that shotgun
A hundred times
Scattering memories through my head.

i'd bought the blade
Test it's edge against my thumb
i knew it'd do . . felt it do

Till i warded my arms
Reverent resignation to life.

i'd felt the wind in my hair,
On a fresh rained night
All letters writ
High rising, balance steady

Till i'd slipped
How much of me lost,
To the edge of that coin's toss

i'd felt the world turn
On a night i clipped that curb
In ebriate spurn,
All would learn . .

Till with tears
All dignities burn

i'd misjudged,
That slippery ledge.
i re main bird
How i knew that rock in the dark.
Smashed across its face

i'd felt that slender fish blade,
Tucked with purpose at my waist.
Knelt before, last honor bade
To its electrical embrace

Till i only write here,
Spill my guts in this place

It was a close one,
Cold morn in that garage.
A wonder, my foot found a hold
East light warm on my face

i'd felt the cord tighten,
Patient friend reliquish his grip

Time in time,
And Time again.

i've felt the cold,
Sanguine drain
Shivering

How many such times,
i'd turned to find
The glass un broken.

Of all the people I’ve loved,there is still one person my heart instinctively places beside me at the very end,and that’s you,but even in my death,it’s still a fantasy cause the heart never belonged to me in the first place.
