    ...to become my own light, again.

    It's still a work in progress, but I'm beginning to find home in me - not in a sense of returning, but rather in a sense of becoming.

  2. Moonlight Confessions

    You mask it as solicitous care
    But who mandated you to decide
    What's wrong for me, and what is right?

    You paint an abstraction of my life
    Dream fortunately fixable fallouts
    But here's my confession, Babe:

    I fixed the door.
    It opens no more.

  3. Some hope for silver beginnings, others long for a silver lining. She'd give a fortune to have, at least, one of the two. What a beautiful colour: silver. She'd weave sailcloth from moonbeams, and tar fox with midnight, so that, one day, she'd set silver sails, and become her own light.

  4. Frostbite her only companion, she leans against the icy rocks on the bottom of the precipice. Life won't wait as time longs for balance. Tiredness turns into fatigue, then into unconsciousness. Her last thought is no prayer, but a dream that shifts her into a new reality.

    ...endings became your acquaintances. How could they ever be at peace?

    Yet, as a fairy, she'd give everything she had for the chance to only have this one last first kiss, even if a first kiss would mean the end. It still would be her happy ending.

  6. At the cove's edge, the shadows revealed soul-nixing follies. Lewd leisure made skin shiver in disgust.

    Take a breath mint, and move on.

    They say, these places have love for sale. But they really sell bodies, in increments, left a little more hollow after each deal.

  7. "The meter drives our passion,"
    that's what you said.

    By now, I have
    thought it through thoroughly,
    carefully considered every word,
    and, after a sleepless night,
    came to this conclusion:

    I have no idea what you meant.
    Is it a brilliant placeholder
    for a deeper design,
    or merely a glorious farce?
    Please, help me understand.

  8. Strain

    Armors don't work for me.
    They wear me down.
    As does the torturous crapulence
    from substances I could use
    to numb all intensity.

    Those are mere toys,
    to weave an illusion of safety
    as if there ever was anything
    within our control.

    It's not.
    You can't use a sieve
    as a barricade, I know.
    But it can strain the toxins.
    That'll do.

  9. The entrance of the knight in shining armor turned out to be a damp squib when the ramparts of his sonnets crumbled under her genuine gaze. She picked up the leftovers, and turned his poetry into free verse.

  10. To That Silent One

    To the still one beholding me, and my path
    benevolently turned towards
    never saying a word too much
    yet, each one reaches with mildest touch:
    You matter. - I wanted you to know
    The quiet care you gently show...
    Courage rewards itself, it's true
    So, I'll state it:
    I see beauty in how you're being you

  11. On the eve, there was no slumbrous prelude. An abbreviated crescendo, more like. Iconicly ironic, the tower fell at the stroke of midnight. Soon, there wouldn't be any illusions left to shatter.

  12. With the heat of the cooking dinner, mirrored by steamy windows, memory rises like an illusive reality, a dream revealed in one hot tear falling: My special holiday spice.

  13. This would be the line
    I will not let you cross
    The art of logic's war
    I have no use for

    No lengthy interaction
    I will have with you
    Can ever change that
    I have learnt my lesson

  14. At the core of silken memory dwells the rock bottom of raucous intrusion. Humbly we put on rose-coloured glasses, and apologetically soothe the edges to then wonder, why we feel homesick. But only the restless warriors bear a chance to truly know their place.

  15. During a phone call, I reminisce about the past, and suddenly feel humble. Yes, I yearn for having dodged the avalanche. I didn't. Call it destiny. I'm still standing - broken, and beautiful.

    Entities lined up along the icy path leading to the workshop, reminiscing, wondering if the stories were true.

    The fire in the hearth crackled, when Ronan placed his offering. He had dodged destiny's avalanche for too long. There was no sin in facing the truth. As feelings transcribed onto...

    ...ostentatious.

    The simple moments grace another year with gratitude:
    A gaze diving into the white of a misty day.
    The bird choir rehearsing by the pond in the evening.
    Smoke rising from a chimney on a cold morning.

    Newfangled prescience claims to know what's to come.
    I wait, and let it show itself to see.
    In the end, it will always be those simple moments, and a present me.

  18. I don't regret the egregious things done to me by the hands of frigid hearts. Productive fatalism can't match my standards.

    Here's the magic:
    I encourage weakness, for it is wherein true strength lies. Never will I surrogate integrity for gimcrack jingles

    ...spread through their s systems, forcing them to lower their guns. When she finally left the battlefield, she thought:
    "I've got to keep my heart close..."

  20. That boho glint in my eye.
    A whiff of an idea, that virgin evolves to vixen.
    The terminal disillusionment of a brotherly wet dream.
    This is not who I am.

  21. 2/2

    ...starry night, and froze out galactic beauty.

    Tired of waiting, the tower fell. No sundress in moonlight colours emerged from the rubble. Only an inordinately bleak, and bland, tartan.

    Slowly, I'm tracing whiffs of who I was in hopes that, some day, I'll remember who I am. Meanwhile, I'm learning to hold myself in all brokenness. And I wonder: How far does a goodbye go?

    This gap in time, and space.
    It is where I always meet you.

    As I pull up my stockings, I won't wish for snow. I'll just act as if apricity was a fact, once I set foot under the grey sky with its apricot tinge that only Winter holds.

    Passing by coloured lights of cars in the traffic, I notice, how I resist residual horror that's saying one last goodbye. Taking a deep breath, I...

  24. Wake your dreams, they say. They wouldn't, if they knew my nightmares. Christmas party punch numbs the awareness for how the gravity of choices chosen splits more than just a fruit cake - pretending good will by offering what never can be any consolation.

    Clouds

    When we were clouds meandering the sky, a lightning bolt taught us the art of disappearing. Listing into opposing directions, our lagging behind could not prevent the rift. But fire, though a peculiar gift wrap, cleanses before destruction, until nothing artificial remains. Now, rain is my consolation, until the mountain...

  26. Desperate for the thrill, people often confuse her caution for some kind of suggestively shy chic. Disposed to despise the resulting behaviour, she'll choose indifference. Imagine them gasping at that sensation.

    Should We?

    We should have stopped the moment it started. Alas, we didn't. 'Neath a vespertine sky, we moved towards the foreseeable destination, as if ache, not chivalry, was the best morning gift awaiting. Everyday miles unending, I am learning with age, to close the door faster. Gladly...
