Resolve

Another year passes
(the snowflakes age
in slow motion)
as if it was a day
and memories slide away
from my mind
as quickly as they are formed
in the still essence
of time

Another year
of silent rejection
of joy
distilled into contentment,
A year of splendid isolation
and thought
(embryonic pieces
of understanding,
yet still I remain
clumsy
and a fool)

Don't let yourself drift
when tomorrow comes your way
or this fragile placidity
we all reach for
might break
and we will be left
to dream while we are awake

So this is the new year,
halfheartedly
working for a whole heart
but crawling towards the sun
(Summer will let be breathe again,
she'll surely let me sleep again)

i am outside of myself
looking in from a stranger's eyes
the sun is shining on me
stroking my skin and lighting my grin
and my breath is starting
to become shallow and limited
sparks jump between
my fingertips and your lips

a shadow leans over me
i forget how to speak

you are outside of yourself
looking in at stranger eyes
throwing glances in the direction of
others so deep in love
something glazes over you and
covers you in shades of green
jealousy takes control
of everything you know

a cloud lingers overhead
you find the path of least resistance

we are outside of ourselves
looking up for a little help
passing our chances off and
giving our dances up
afraid to stay where we are
afraid to get away too far

you want to feel so infinite
like you could go on and on
and on and on and on
you want the chance to feel it
to take it, to embrace it, to taste it

the stars are bright in the sky
almost as if they know what we're
missing and they're trying to show
us the way to our salvation
they twinkle and turn and point out
to us our destination, even when
we can't see it, they keep going

Maladroit

I want you to lay
between me
and my thoughts,
to harbor haste
until it is needed,
divide what is unnecessary
from this confusion
for I am clumsy
and foolish

Love is awkward
and youthful
innocently inept;
as fragile
as the words I speak
(still,
I am unable to learn)

My bones
are full of rust
they strain
with every movement,
struggling to gain
a secular holiness
that would be worthy
of Beauty

But clumsy I remain
so let me sleep
a few minutes longer
and maybe a little weight
will be lifted

I want you to lay
between me
and my thoughts,
to disentangle me
from them;
to take my warmth
in return
because sometimes silence
is the most precious gift
the clumsy can confer

Next Autumn

A casual waltz through time
and a million flashing memories
I can remember my dreams
Images in motion
I am so small
I am blind, deaf, mute
But I can feel, I can fly
I can see my world
All the places I've never been

The river where we met
and the roses he sent to me
drifting down the current
Their petals, locked away
in my jewelry box

The rubble under the broken bridge
concrete and wire
I am not lost
You will never find me
drifting along the hillside
Seasons shifting so quickly
Summer, we were there
Winter, I was alone
Let's meet next Autumn
and we'll rebuild this place
together

The old building on the mountain
I balance with the grace my grandmother gave me
picking flowers under the moon
looking down at the ocean
I'll run away to the water
on a secret path that's all mine
Don't bother looking for me
because I won't come back

There is a beach I always return to
where I even chose to die
Hold my hand as I hold my breath
and I promise we'll meet again


current mood: nostalgic

Wait

Temptation waits
for a ravenous heart,
lingering in this pool
of fury
hoping that lust
will not devour love
(I can not let my eyes
rest upon
these anachronistic gods
that bleed desperately
in search of recognition,
I am paralysed
but privy to perfection
and lies;
carved out of truth
so hastily

heartless hinds
hurriedly hide hurt
behind voracious visions,
disguising the disgusting
with painful elegance)

you were yesterday
so quickly archaic,
so swiftly you followed serenity
into sickness
twisting and swirling about
entwining antitheses
effortlessly
(accidentally,
it seems now)

She holds fast
to the years
which grow more and more tired
through her melancholy eyes
(like vines
embracing endless weeds
after refusing to surrender
for so long,
heavy they fall
into each others arms)
