Poetic Stories

a requiem, a fever dream

sultry as this summer

sleeplessness paints the scene

thinking of you always thinking

about things that'll never be

destiny lost on you and me

the landslide built underneath

temperatures rising, no disguising

was only a matter of time

decades to years to final moments

so much love, I still can't hold it

I'll never get over losing you

a part of me . . . my spirit has died

every day another nightmare

so I've written this eulogy for you

a sweet poem for when I'm blue

☆☆☆☆☆

we all get to the point of wanting

to reachi a goal in life

for those who never had the luxury of

privacy it is paradise to acquire

an however small place where they

can do what they want

without any onlookers

nor friend nor family

though often that it misunderstood

as being selfish or ungrateful

Instead of sharing the bliss of that milestone

Society is usually not very helpful either;

high prices, mistrust, greed

or incomprehensible requirements

are all possible obstakels

what to do?

just never give up, only that counts!

June breath rising green,

leaves screaming in petrichor.

when someone

cannot comfort you

any longer,

have you outgrown them

or met them as they are

for the very first time

?

~ @pocketfullofpoesies

Peel back the traumas

And the guards

Air dry the tear-soaked pillows

And cover up the crescent-shaped scars

I will not make a sound

I will not project my pain onto you

torn between

opposing forces

her pulse is

flood and furnace

thunder and flux

inferno and earthquake

skirmish

fissures forming

beneath her feet

she breathes

and it feels

like bleeding

something searing

surges

through her

it hurts

It's so overwhelming 

to control all these feelings 

running through my heart,

my mind.

All those sad songs 

In my playlist 

With melancholy lyrics 

Some pop, some EDM, some classical 

Or even with sped-up beats.

Resonance unfolds 

I can see my life 

In the relay of those songs.

My scream comes out 

as lyrics wrapped in tunes

Listening to those songs 

My heartbeat syncs with their beats.

The sadder the songs get

The better I feel.

When my tears fall,

Fresh air fills my room,

Scarf it down with panicked breaths,

Awaiting further doom,

Lighting split my soul in two,

I flinched between the cracks,

This does not feel like freedom yet,

esacape we can get

away if you'll come

across the abyss we

will play amidst stars

dance with comets

circle with new moons

kiss darkness goodbye

reflecting glowing suns

become barers of light

goddesses and gods

inside where brilliance

begins higher power flowers

we can plant a garden

sow the seeds of a poem

grow a magnificent garden

know the ways of magic

will always lead us home

inside where eternity shines

I'm hopeful you'll join me

veil a void deep as the cracks

now this return of a ghost from the shadows, moth-soft.

its breath visibly pleated inside a small unspeaking mouth.

its beaded eyes, condensed obsidian spheres, moonflower intense.

i befriend darkness by its wings that are half sheen half lace. and measure space by its wingspan to travel light years into the past. when you and I were aflutter against blinding love.

i tell you "i am lost without you."

"love doesn't need a memory" you whisper.

"i wish …" i begin to say

but every memory dissolves into diffused light.

as you answer

every sharp edge

with open hands

fingers resisting

the reflex

to become fists

wrapped around

an olive branch

are you a masochist

or an angel?

hearth is your armour

warmth is impossible

to conquer

mercy makes

a better breastplate

than steel

you have learned

to make a shield

of yielding

there is nothing to

call it

but beautiful

jolts me

from another dream of you.

I’m bitter for the day,

tired of ruling

wefts with a red hot iron,

of sebum

accruing capital

in my pores.

I miss your mattress

on the floor. Not always,

I search the sky.

I beg to find your light

lost among a thousand stars

just as bright.

You turn away and I fight for you in vain.

My tired eyes grow used to only pain,

till hollow, hopeless, shutting into void.

Then quiet.

Through the black a soft light flash.

So long I searched for you into the outer space,

while all along, my star, you still shone

and survived my ache.

That light you carry, buried in your chest,

Look back

Only me and your shadow

We were happy together

We were once a couple...

Until you became a stranger

I loved you

You said you loved me too

And in the end...

You broke us up without a sound

I hope you're happy without me

Liar.

Because with you is the most beautiful memory

And the ugliest wound I can't close

I miss the old you

The one who never left

So I let you go from my life

You

protect

yourself

by

keeping

apart

from

the

crushing

heartlessness

of

the world,

freed

of

the need

to

be

so
