Title: Ely

My heart is made of stone And my eyes are full of glass You came into my life And turned my hard soul into ash

For you, I’d fly the heavens Even if my feet only knew the earth I’d reach the stars and lift the mountains To see your small teeth, And hear your words

Before, my world was black and white Yet in your eyes lay a kaleidoscope That I’d rather watch than my favorite show My blurry eyes, turning into telescopes

If I could, I’d carry your pain on my shoulders And lift your heart to lessen the hurt I’d make a place with just you and me A bubble without other worlds And we’ll make a small house by the sea Where it’s just the two of us; You and me

Absent God

February 22, 2023 7:12PM Title: Absent God Night coffee on my tongue, Sunset horizons taking place. Yellow, red, blue, and purple, An absent god staring at my face. 15 billion stars in my eyes, Yet I live only in the lands of the earth, With feet never daring to touch the sky, Head in the clouds formed as blue birds Melatonin daydreams, Scattered in my waking head, Holding down the distance in between, When will this ever end? But I dance with the lights of heaven, Where I have travelled, With the oranges I found at dawn, My mouth speaks freedom, —Never meeting the gaze of the sun.

Regrets

June 28, 2025 8:34 AM Title: Regrets I long for words unspoken— for missed chances, rascal years, and everything lost to the quiet of forgetting; People shaped my tears. May everyone find, What they’ve always wanted, Not what they deserve. Because through the years, I’ve drifted far from heaven— Grown independent of God, Entwined instead with fear. You may not understand me. People rarely do. But know this; I will always wish you the best, Even as the tides rush into the oceans, And ink stains the last of my truth.

Bannister Embrace

March 11, 2023 1 2:38AM Title: Bannister Embrace I dread the fear of longing, When my eyes would search, For the sun in the night sky, Where all the answers would be, In the lifetime of “why’s” I’d find. My head is clouded in purple hues, Filled with a bannister embrace, The lifeline I once created, Was caught in an eyeless gaze; Nothing is once as was it was made. “Be kind,” I say to myself at night, Cleansing the mistakes that stay, Somewhere in the past or in between, Riding in the fire of our candle days; Absent in the empty schemes, my daze. Hiding my words in metaphors, In a language that no one understands, Literal is a meaningless concept, Lost is a form of dance; Where I lost my only chance I love in the face of evil, I hurt in the place of kind, I stand as an anarchic society, “My love, my love” I call out , But my love, nobody understands.
