a rusty boat resting along a shore in silence,
forgotten and forgone,
yet breathing as each tide washes away.

-

For the wise have found peace in solitude,

and there's fools like us
who still wander in search of gratitude.

-

residing at the farthest corner of your heart.

Ignorant to norms of reality
it breathes,

till death do you apart.

-

she didn't come with a blow,
but in silence with tiptoes.

Caressing my hair
she hushed verses so calm,
as if unrequited love
was laid on my palm.


Before I could fathom
my dissolution in her gaze,

Oh, dear darkness,
you were already my happy place.

-

the falling leaves of autumn,


reminded me of the frostbites and cold nights
that winter was about to bring.

-

those small desires
that fill colors in normality.

But can only afford to breathe
in subconscious,
for they seldom tend to exist in reality.

-

the smell of a simpler time,

when oversized sweaters didn't bother,
for each stitch bore the love of your mother

and only concern was
counting the days towards a festive season,
where happiness was still a choice,
with no need to seek for a reason.

-

there's a place
with lush green fields,
cotton weaved sky
and a melting sun
that never tends to disappear.

Meet me there, my love,
we'll lay in silence
lost in each other's eyes,
slowly let go of all our fears.

-

the definition of love
used to be simple.

Holding hands,
playing with her fringes,
would carve a smile
and bring out her dimples.

-

a bit shy,
often hides behind the well-lit mask,
observing the faceless crowd as it peeks.

Swaying in dilemma,
surrounded by piercing eyes of judgment,
it's curious...but still
unable to remember what it seeks.
