As she writes, a broom observes her quietly from a distance.
The blue object does not move, nor does it make any unnecessary motion. It just stands there, its blue fibers sticking out in awkward angles.
Dust mostly coats the end of its bristles, leaving it with a darkish blue hue. Its handle is still straight, and intact, but the plastic film is almost torn off.
Beside the blue broom is a dustpan. And just like its neighbor, it is also bluish in color, coated in a layer of dust, and quietly observes, from a distance, the girl who writes.
Both objects share a smiliar dream:
To be used by the girl someday.
Beneath the thundering roar of the engine,
The rattling of loose change on the dashboard
Beneath the sweaty brows, oily palms,
The slick steering wheel and faulty brakes
Is a man whose past I want to see.
His slender fingers wrapped around the gearshift,
Eyes focused on the track ahead.
How can one not lose focus when driving and
Calculating at the same time?
He intrigues me, that man.
Who is he, what is his name?
I want to know him. Better.
Fragments of
memories
Forever I would
cherish
Destroyed in a
single moment
Drowning in
disappointment.
Heavy tears are softly
Falling
Bitter nostalgia is gradually
Fading
Quietly observe as the whole
World
Is silently caving
In.
There's this point in my life
When ideas start to pop up
In every way imaginable.
Jumping, hopping, skipping
Running, tumbling, skidding
Then, there's this other point in my life
When ideas just start to die
In every way imaginable.
Shrieking, screaming, shouting
Squealing, Howling, Dying
The white parchment remains untouched
With no traces of black ink,
Spilled or sprawled over
No visible loops and italics
Written
The arm that writes the words remains unmoving
With no smudges of black ink
On the pale skin
A Hand lies still on the
Table
Thousands of ideas burst forth from
The mind of the poet
But he cannot place them
In their appropriate positions
And right wordings
two minutes is all we have
"Let's walk slowly," you say
and i follow.
finally we reach the end
you tell me what you get to tell
and i ask myself what i get to ask:
am i out of time?
it was on the 17th of January that we met
eyes locked, hearts beating fast
both having no idea what the feeling was.
in your green polo, in my white shirt
with that we created an endless kaleidoscope
of psychedelic colors, a watercolor of memories.
your happiness is seen in your eyes
and every time they would glimmer
a soft gasp would escape my lips.
that innocent touch
would have a thousand interpretations
to the inexperienced mind.
that innocent touch
would have a different feeling
should i be with a different person.
in the closeness of that space
i realized that life was worth living
if life was with you.
if we ever meet again
I'd g
Just like a king, another king
He sits on a throne made of marble and stone
Golden orbs scanning the globe, every nook and cranny
Aware of the thousand lights emerging and disappearing
It marks his power and reign; how long he would last
Until no one believes and he'd fade and vanish
He weeps not because of loneliness
But because of the knowledge he would never know
The steady flutter of her wingbeat
Every sway, every motion as fluid as a hummingbird
Psychedelic feathers cover her graceful physique
A thousand stories, her eyes a-glow
She's a rainbow

Standing alone in the dark world,
Heavily breathing and hand strike cold,
You found me lying on some dark hold,
And laid out a hand to rescue me
Suddenly, wings started growing,
And my mind was set going:
Who are you and What did you do,
To my mind which was set to goo?
Hand-in-hand we flew over mountains,
Valleys, and places never seen,
You taught me that the world,
Is not really what it seems
It was really a treasure to have met you,
For an instant, I realized; I knew,
That everything in here was done by you,
Oh I thank you, My teacher, My Hero

Le soleil se préparant au coucher
sur nous est impatiente de tomber
la nuit nous imposant son arrivée.
Pour célébrer cette fête païenne
sous la lune malveillante et pleine
la secte de diablotins fera des siennes.
Un épouvantail danse dans son décor

cauchemars et hantises jusqu’à l’aurore.
Des citrouilles défigurées, de toi se moquant

Nightmares ~ Day 4 ~ Writober
Every night standing behind my eyes
I see a woman holding a white rose and
she has no face because someone
took a pencil and savagely scratched it out and
some nights she screams and
some nights she cries and
there are times when she's hollowly silent
as the rose burns slow in her ashy palms but
I think the nights I hate the most are
the ones where she laughs and
the world seems to crumble at the sound and
the fire burns fast and all the
graphite streaks are erased from her face
so I see her for who she truly is.
You don't speak to me
Not like you once did
But I glean volumes
From your sordid silence
Your voice
It impassions me
Carving me out of my
Silent revelry
You pull words
From my soul
You make me empty
You make me whole
Down...
Down...
Down...
Into the bottom of this glass
Drown...
Drown...
Drown...
Come up for air 'cause I won't last
One more day
Inside those moonlit eyes that take me
All the way
You whispered words I didn't
Know I longed to hear
This empty silence
Is much more than I can bear
So, I'll follow you
Down...
Down...
Down...
And I know that I'm gonna
Drown...
Tattoos are evidence
that sometimes we love something
so much,
so unconditionally,
we forever want it embedded
And even if the colors fade,
and the lines become wrinkled
Or even if we form a strong abhor;
an everlasting distaste for it,
the thing we loved
will forever be part of us
For like the ink it's written in,
true love lasts
