19. a reminder:

soft flows the river

where the rain remains

a rhythm of a story of old:

two entangled cosmic filaments

caught up in themselves

blind to their own estrangement

18. suspended in air

there's something in the way her

tortured eyes smile

like the ending she knows

is tragic, but she tries

knowing that forever

could be written in the stars

she shoots for the moon

to fall into your arms

17. truth

i'll be honest, i saw the dust

settled before you scuffed

your toe across the line:

remember when you were mine?

remember when this was fine?

16. so embarrassing

everything embarrassing is always linked to you i'm performing under pressure like the monkey in your zoo

this isn't how it's meant to be this isn't what i do i don't deserve your third degree so screw this, and screw you

15. beach

i watch - i watch the time - i watch the waves - i watch the way you pause in front of the ocean - i watch the way you glance at me - the corner of your eye - and i - i want to say hello - i want you to say hello - i want one of us to say - something - i am stuck - romance shy - so my chance dies - i'm sorry - a stupid reason - i wait - i apologise - if it was you - i guess i'll never know now - stupid me - why can't you be - more brave?

14. a reoccurring dream

i escape to a place in my mind / where reality meets fiction and my sight / is blurred and murred by a love of all things new / carpe diem with one hand / hold non omnia possumus omnes in the other / wrestle with the contradiction / of ever-changing change: it revolves and this evolves / dissolves / into solutions minus a problem / the dream? it didn't stay / but it returned / again

13. purr

how citrus lingers from yesterday night like the ginger cat curled, purred at my feet

how dishes collect on the kitchen sink and second-nature second chance burn bright between glances

12. oh, the light!

oh, my darling, wait for it now...

at night, at dawn, at starfall

oh, look how it glimmers

one tear away from a shimmer

11. posture

sit taller, sit brighter

stand stronger, stand lighter

grace becomes you; fills the space

pride of posture in your gaze

10. fog

it hovered over the cityscape  

like a restless hummingbird  

a quiet fog, a shrouded silence…  

a thousand whispered words

9. bad habit

i have a bad habit of backing out

before i see things through

not with projects; just with you

not with poems; just the muse

8. what's the truth

the world was full of blue not of rain clouds, just of you now the air is cleared of colour a darker hue: still you

7. portrait

gave your picture portrait polish

saved your favourite frame to hang

from the eaves, you left it dropping

crumpled heart and mangled panes

6. a childhood memory

elephant in the room, everyone staring ignored all the warnings and kept yourself cool

your energy is draining my endless patience waning how can i care when i'm so done with sharing?

5. spiral

i'm not sure if it's wise to wonder

whether words are swords

or spirals

...you could just assume they're both

4. trip

slipped, then dipped

got up too fast

tripped on over

my own heart

3. eye contact

from under lashes, amber rose

to meet with idle foes

something going through her mind

impossible to know
