love is charcoal left to burn

holding breath for its rising

paying tribute to its passing

watching, waiting for each new horizon

i keep having dreams in languages i don't speak

strange enunciations slip my tongue

thoughts of things i did not think

and plans too big to have begun

don't ruminate on your first words

because they'll pale against the rest

if we're only as good as our worst poem,

may we forever be as brilliant as our best

polaroids collect on their bedroom wall memories tagged with reasons to fall

a finger to trace the curve of your smile imagining the day when they walked down the aisle

you liked the colour gold and i like a shade of lime

(i'm told the air is sweeter if you taste it after nine)

i like sunny afternoons, you like early mornings

(but after dark, it's all a blur and we won't notice time)

if i like sour, you like sweet

(let's share a bottle of wine?)

i'm not sure - is this a sign?

(look at the stars, my love, look at how they shine)

hand shakes, voice breaks

the moment isn't there

cut, edit, and retake

oh, if life were a movie...

but life

is only

unfair

we talk, and you yawn

and my insecurity takes hold

we smile, but you laugh

and my stomach bites cold

i've accused you before of ignoring my flaws and yet, haven't i done the same?

i was so fucking sure you were the one i adored when really, we both played the game

[abrighterspark]

you still show up in my dreams sometimes,

with a caring touch or word

a salt grain of hope that i know to ignore

because finally... finally, i've learned

29. how to exist

follow the flame, then the sea-glass eyes meet coffee brown gaze and then green jealous haze

fall for the one who thought you were done fall out of that into a new treasure map

search for the ex end up with "why?" land on the answer: I am my own sky

28. surgery

peel your heart

from the inside out

leave it raw and weeping

the poet's soul; to be dissected

with pen upon the parchment

27. the absolute limit

creativity is not an equation

but an exchange with salvation;

a gentle persuasion...

admire to inspire; appreciate, create

feel all emotion; flow, fill, abate

26. modernity

tell me when my modern life

becomes a symbol we outlast

what small object of today

will be the thimble of our past?

25. dark secret

you shatter me

like stained glass art

whenever you appear

peripheral shadow,

you break my heart

just by being near

24. unexpected transmission

i breathe in, and the world breathes back

"softer... take your time."

i still; take in the pine-scent rain

the tin-drip where they chime

23. simulation

i walk through halls without an aim

searching out the real

locked within a pointless game;

walls built of social steel

22. desire

the day is dim

but not yet dark

sometimes time

reveals the spark
