Anxiety

 

Winter lingers around the corner

Tree leaves shed from the branches

The bright seasons prior are starting to collect its toll

The birds no longer here to conduct melodies

The gloominess infects sadness into my bloodstream

My eyes heavy, as if skyscrapers were placed on my eyelids

My breath, forming shape like clouds on my bedroom window

The scent of a warm cup of tea staining my daily routine

You and I intertwine next to each other gasping for warmth,

Wondering where we will be this time next year

 

Strangers

 

In our past life you were a sea moss, and I was a stone

We were madly in love, love down to the bone

Resting side by side for what seemed like an old clock that has lost track of time

Only a light house and a few passing ships, Would ever witness this love of ours

We were the true lovers; on that ocean maiden they called Titanic

 

Your silky smooth angel hair, like running meatballs through spaghetti

Your perfectly chiseled body, you must be from Greece

Your big brown eyes, able to even convert a criminal into doing good deeds

Your narrow lips able to convince the world that they invented chocolate kiss

Your long caterpillar like eyebrows, more wavy than the tides on a full moons night

Your bright presence is the cause of my body’s global warming

We were the true lovers, referenced in every romantic movie ever made

But in this life, we are merely strangers

 

“Two Side of The Same Wall”

 

You always want to stand on my side.

But your selfish needs bring you back to your side.

On your side you send telegraphed thoughts of missing my side,

But you can never be standing on two sides of the same wall.

 

“Positive Negative”

 

Two negatives will never come close.

A positive will always chase behind a negative,

Filling out the potholes left by a negative.

 

“Touch”

 

My fingers brush strokes on your porcelain skin.

My eardrums stimulate at the light sound of you breathing.

I am lying next to you, but I still miss you.

 

“Fury”

 

Your temper boils like a teakettle sounding.

Like waking up an iceberg, you drift away.
