Poem: Unspoken Lines #7

A Haiku // The One about Waiting

“Play a waiting game

With me, and we’ll see who falls

For the other first.”

Poem: Love Letters

Love letters have a sort of magic

about them. Each one is an attempt

by the mind to simplify a sentiment

so consuming. They’re almost as

bold as language itself for assigning

a single word to summarize such a

filling feeling. How can I reveal to you

my heart with one letter and describe

all of how I feel with the word love

alone? It would hardly be enough.

I could fill a library with love letters

and still have more to say to you,

and still have more love left over,

and still love you just as much.

Poem: Storm

I shivered at the sound

Of the storm outside

As it shouted and shook

And turned out the lights

Of the world all around

By concealing the sun

Behind heavy gray clouds,

With their heavy gray tears

Draining down one by one.

Poem: Tactless

Little is my love for you lately,

Knowing where you’ve been

And all that you’ve seen

Without a fraction of thought

For what it all might mean

When you recount it to me.

Poem: Sometimes

Sometimes I spiral down to

Gloomy thoughts of you and I,

And I want to go back to the

Simpler days when my mind

Wouldn’t drift back to you –

Not even only sometimes.

Poem: Good Times

I found a mood-boosting playlist

Designed, I’d like to think, to keep

My mind off all things you, but

All it managed to do for me was

Remind me of the good times,

When I felt, with you, as though

The world was ours to dance through;

As though the sky was brightened

Not by the sun, but by the glints

Of lovey-dovey smiles; as though

Our hearts would never break

And our love was shatterproof.
