Remember (How?)

Console not those who loved. Who’s lost,
but they who fight losing wars with fate –
those who bear burdens eternal, forged in the winter frost.
Wail they may, and shadows haunt, but the chilling wind exhausts
all hope: they, who watch and see mistakes,
console not. Those who loved (who lost)
wander, homesick, homeless – a shadow of love’s cost,
but [...]

Once, and too much

We said
one sentence too many, made
one promise too many – you see, now, as they burn in
dimming fires. There’s nothing more
comforting (if any) than having
one dream too many, now; I write
one verse too many, though words slither and letters bite
like snakes and us alike. Days go and
nights stay, and flowers wither without a sun – [...]

Walk On

Minds walk, and
words watch, and
eyes talk, and
thoughts touch.
Tired but sleepless, living but lifeless –

haunting sleet that bites and tries to bind
those fools of us who forget the cost.
Thunder groans, and the blizzard shrieks [...]

Here (and gone)

You’re

clothes don’t fit anymore, you’ve
grown; the silhouette grows as seconds tick and days pass.
The world’s here – reality fluid as fantasies, and
curiosity sparked the landslide of furniture that
killed
the cat. You crawl, and you’re
walking, step by step, and time runs –
clothes don’t fit anymore, you’ve
grown; like a sprout, [...]

Two cents of words

So the talk’s gone. Your promises still
echo (and your words still
overshadow), but there is no more;
a lie said and a lie more, a promise
broken and a promise less
but my devotion isn’t cheap( enough) and
my voice (broken) not on discount – my
words are reserved irrevocable and
my time is taken, though no
reservations are observed unfaithful (and
no words [...]
