Passer-by

I am a downpour
in a sun-soaked beach,
the small spill
on a bottled quink;
I am the blues
in the sunset sky,
and a deer
on a dirt road
passing by;

I am the flares of light
on a photo you love,
and the small tear
on your favorite gloves;
I am the shipwreck
of your peaceful seas,
and the ghost
in your childlike dreams;

I am lingering, living
know nothing of my misdeal;
I am where you are
and I exist where you exist;
I am a piece of life,
disrupting only little;
I am a grey shade of color
in a solemn painting
you mistake for errors.

Inside and Out

I am plagued by the peace
of the outside;
and maddened
by the chaos
within;

blinded by the blazing
rays of morning;
and shrouded
by the dark of
nightfall;

I lay awake
always
wondering,
always moving,
never dreaming;

I am maddened by the silence
of the outside;
and killed
by the voices
within.

ashes to ashes

rolled paper to ashes
burnt fingers pressing down hard
I am bent down
scribbling on a blotted page
where a world should be found

dried leaves to ashes
I knock the caffeine aside
wondering how
it isn’t working
at this time of the night

filters turning to ashes
I spilled grey dust
on the paper and coughed
I haven’t noticed the fire
burning the cotton once again

ashes to ashes
I am done for the night
maybe once I am finished
I am no longer
breathing to see what happens

Indestructible

Diamonds were made
beautiful by cutting,
burning and polishing;
made valuable by years
and years of hardening;
but why would you
think the opposite
of my heart?

Adoration.

I adore you
I adore
your beauty
In sadness,
In darkness,
and in pain.
I adore you
your frailty,
your weakness
and your shame
I adore you
in every
moment and
with every
word I say.
I adore you
no more words,
just a kiss
and embrace
day by day.

*because I have been looking into writing something a little less heavy these days.
Have a nice day, lovely people in the world.
