I dream of a time where the world won’t cry
Of lives where good folk don’t have to try
I dream of a place where we all might breathe
One negligence doesn’t make us leave
I dream of a whisper that tames the rest
Of my darling’s eyes in our little love nest
I dream of this and that and of it all
It’s a nightmare really that masks my fall

Diverts the flow of the stream
Giving it purpose

Eyes look
But do not see
Beneath this skin
The real me
All pain and sorrow
And sodden heart
A mind in turmoil
No work of art
Just desperate really
So reticent
To be centre stage
Not translucent
Thank you for reading

Author’s Note: A poem written in the haiku style but very much not.
Born of the starways
From most glorious midnight
Celeste fills these dreams
Eyes like forever
And infinite in their depth
They stir this lost soul
Will she ever know
Could she ever love this ghost
He who drifts through all
Eternity dares
What reality disputes
I’ve always been hers
Thank you for reading

Pellucid moments
As the fog of once love clears
Turn away weeping

Water
💧
Wash this life away
In liquidated atoms
⛈
Submerge
💦
And swim as others
Laugh as others

Bubble

Mouth agape and smiling
Sleeping in aquamarine

Nirvana

An abyssal dispersement
Of another’s fluid dream

Rain

The cycle renews
Whether wanted or not

Laid hearts open, revealed and revered
Our eyes tug towards the moon
Always the moon
As we dream of rose petal skies
There are no stars to guide us
No cloudburst tears to wet our roots
They’re not needed
For we are dreamers of rose petal moments
Silver and gold may flow in our veins
Stain the ground in ventricular bursts
It’s never crimson
Not for dreamers of rose petal lies
There’s a chill upon him
And a heat upon you
Always so warm
Perhaps, from my rose petal dreams
Thank you for reading

Tungsten sky sits heavy across heaven
Impassable barrier dividing life and Life
Crushing the air from tired lungs
Faking dusk
