This is where the product of my boredom goes. Drop a comment after reading, okay? I’d love to hear what you think of them.

“Goodbye”

I close my eyes and drift away
Through ice frost glades and mint-dewed fields
Your ephemeral touch wakes my non-beating heart
As your eyes of intellectual depth catches mine.

Love was sweet, a soothing melody
Of do re mi and la ti do
Love is an embrace, a gentle chaste kiss
His smiling face, of feelings hidden and died for.

Love was all the words, all the soft-spoken lies
For what it’s worth, it was deadly and agonizing
His eyes told them of the promises he plans to break
I long for the dagger and the taste of copper tang on my lips.

Past white-painted fences and broken swings, I wept
A chill runs down my spine, I stare coldly at an empty grave
The words tried to spill from me, I kept them trapped
In short steps, I fall and fall with an unending, soundless scream.

I lose myself to the nightmares of the past
About old willows and echoes of silent whispers
A lover’s warmth shields me from the unnerving cold
His arms wrap around me but sooner did they let go.

A whisper of farewell swirled madly in the air
I watched his retreating back, a life vanished before my eyes
Through age-old trees and forever calm meadows
From his life to mine, a tired voice said goodbye.

“Promise”

T’was a time of dreaming,

moving against the flow of life;

Felt so breathtaking to fight against a foe,

that was never seen, just pursued in flight.

Silver streams of moonlight flooded the land,

under the shade of a tree, a kiss was shared;

Full of desire and reckless abandon,

full of trust and a promise to never let go.

And when dawn comes to start a new day,

as beetles fight, and flowers bloom to wither away;

The tears pool in widened, grieving eyes,

remembering the days–momentous, built on lies.

Two wrongs never made a right;

An embrace cannot forever last;

Emotions are but weapons of deceit,

and fleeting, hidden in a stony mask.

T’was meant to be a perpetual, mutual secret,

that there was nothing and no one else;

‘I love you’ was supposed to be an unchallenged statement,

a vow we promised for ourselves.

“Dreams”

In unending cycles and mist, they came;

so many secrets to tell, so little time;

Do you listen to their cry? Do you hear them?

Or, do you feed them to your lies?

They live in a troubled mind, even that which is mad with joy;

hesitantly do they approach you, will you listen to their song?

Stifled cries and broken screams are their voices,

hidden desire, heartbreak, pain are their past;

They call for you, desperation in their tearful, familiar faces

and yet, though they warn you, you banish them away.

They go unnoticed and later, eventually, you’ll regret;

as you drown in the path you’ve chosen to tread, and gasp on bated breath.

“Deserted”

Why am I the one who’s always stranded?

In a place of uncertainty, I’m alone.

There’s an empty space in my black and white world,

Will there be someone to fill the void?

In a darkened room, a lit candle is not enough

to wade through a wave of loneliness;

Not when a lullaby fails to shatter the silence

and replace it with bittersweet melodies.

I tried to move on, to really forget

but misery’s a drug I can’t have enough of;

The despair’s too precious to ever let go,

and every time it’s there, it reminds me of you.

Hushed whispers sound like broken promises;

you turned your back and I can’t even hate you;

Like a spell that I can’t escape from, I still fall,

I should despise you but there’s nothing else to hold on to.

I’m lost in forgotten, fleeting embraces,

in futile struggles to make a lost cause work;

And yet, the memory of how being cherished felt is still there;

as if were sent to keep the grief away.
