I feel trounced if you tell me stories when I need a salving hug instead. Don't explain things to me when I'm beating myself up. Kiss me a yearlong, cry me a driblet, and say every word with only your eyes.

The moon beamed,
Your heart smiled
And the sea gurgled
Like the pound of blood.

You say you were born tired,
I say let's be tired together.

Let's bury our sad dreams,
Until the horizon is gloaming.

We're butterflies in disguise,
Bunking for a perfect sky.
The world has its own eyes,
But this one's for you and I.

We're fireflies in the night,
Glowing our hearts to sleep.
When the fires thence ignite,
This burn you and I will keep.

We're the sky you and I,
Wilding through the season.
And the wine that will dry,
Whence time is an addiction.

When you
Wake up, 
I sure will 
Be gone, 
Just like
A dream. 
Look out, 
The blue
Sky is falling down
And I wish I could have
Made things any less sad. 
But for the first time, this is
One for me, a song, broken &
Brown, like a lost and found
Citole, a little bit bar of french 
Bonbon, laid soft by my side. 
See, the nights remember 
Those days I found you, 
Slowly and why the heart
Grew bigger and fond. You
Were the warmth of the night, 
The garden of words, rosy and 
The sheath of the dagger. But I've 
Learned quicker now darling, where 
Grows a rose, grows a thorn, & a barb
Sees no blue blood. But now as twine
These ribs darling, I will see you in the
Night skies when the dapple dies and
The sweet melancholy strikes. You'll 
Be scrawled in morning songs, you
Will sleep but until the pages open
And I will always remember.

C'iest l'amour.
And that's the thing
About scars,
They stay, all life
Till you forget
Their reasons.
But soon and ofttimes
Or even seldom,
You'll get reminders
And that is why,
I'm afraid to love.

I am swell with words, until I win myself over —that what I say is truth. Save me the doubt, but I've seen how much it burns beneath this skin. So I just like to save my time a little, watch the flame from a distance, in silence, and if I happen to say, 'You're pretty,' my, the gardens know I've thought about it a million times.

This book, flowers within,
This growth, the scars of burn,
Things that couldn't have been
Without you and your sun,
Every soft pillow of pain.

I ask the clouds above, why'd our love have to end?
But the sky stays silent, it won't comprehend.

My mind is consumed by memories, like an endless refrain,
I wander the world, lost in thought and pain.

And now I'm left alone, with nothing to dream,
Not a cherished moment, but a lost lover's theme.

And so now I'm left with a kwansaba,
And tomorrow I will write another.

#ts #pgnt #lg

An opera of tragedies,
a symphony of woes.
Lost in the shadows,
where nobody goes.
The music still echoes,
but the words are gone.
Silent, the libretti mourn.

Gelid skies,
Dark nights, quiet,
and the screams
beneath cerebration,
I should've seen.
