The night overstays your company
You know the day will break again
if you refuse
to give yourself away to despair
The lover
who
wraps herself around your throat
digs her claws in your arteries
laughs at your virility
injects lead into your feet
claims you to be hers
while
fails to admit she is the trespasser

She greets me with morning mumbles
Before the coffee calls me awake
I wonder if the coffee gets jealous
She barges in to start my day
You listen to my rambling words.
They are lack of cohesion.
How on earth you hear me
clearer than my own understanding?
I watch your struggling emotions.
They are lack of truth.
You wonder why I smile
at the thought of your future,
beyond today’s turmoil.
We are at ease with ourselves
in each other’s presence.
We see the best versions of us
in unifying harmony.

RoBIN gave me this prompt unintentionally.
God has given her a heart of emerald
She became the purveyor of love and hope
People wallow in despair
She sees through the fog
carries hope in darkness
speaks the future and truths
Sometimes you are moody
everyone stays away
I stand afar off
to keep you company
You attack the seagulls
while they mind their own business
Your grumpy self is so amusing
I giggle in the distance
The ocean and the man
she is forever giving
only takes when he lets her
‘Take me to the beach
I have so much to give’
When he gets there
he takes her all in

You never feel lonely
in the company of
the sun and the moon
No matter how far
I stay away from you
you pull me in effortlessly
I am rich with your friendship
You are always there
when I am in need
‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.’
– Philippians 4:6-9
She said
It’s so sad
He saw me
then kept walking
She said
What about me
He looked past me
She said
I wish
that was my case
He stopped and kissed me
Now
he lost his wings
and
I lost my freedom
