And so the rain washed away
The last traces of summer
Mercilessly in its fluid grasp
Leaves danced
and twirled feverishly
into the wind
The sky roared
as the velvet night melted
violently into torches of light
If only you
were a book
So I'd be able
to read you
But the
preface would be longer
Than the story
itself
I'd flip through your pages day and night
Until the edges are worn and torn
Until I've memorized every word
So that I’d be able to know
Exactly what page you’re on
When you speak
Maybe then I’ll be able to understand…
Why you don’t like to share your thoughts
Because a book can’t open on its own
Until someone picks it up

She was a girl who hated everything
and he was a boy who fell in love too fast
Two broken children happened to meet
in a world that's so vast
She thought she could keep on living
with only hate and the emotions in between
He thought that by loving everyone
he'll learn what true love means
She was a girl who hated everyone
and he was a boy who found his one
two broken children happened to love
each other and a story thus begun
But the boy had to leave
for somewhere she couldn't go
so she said :"I'll catch up,
we'll see each other soon, you know."
She thought that she could keep on living
though he was miles away
He thought that by loving her
that she'll always stay
There is no happy ending
since the story is not complete
because the girl is still catching up
to the lover whom she'll soon meet

all of summer suddenly melted into one
as time lept
as autumn fell
yet the sky is still the color of june
while the wind smells of september
Harsh chiseled words of rock rolled like heavy boulders
across her tongue aiming at not just his ears
but his heart
A clustered mess of hellfire pulled the trigger
to his lips and shut them up.
She fired poisoned arrows of hurt yet
He swallowed them only to be slightly wounded and bleed tears
as she sighed a million sighs and bled with him
creating a salty river of drifting emotions crashing waves
The child watched alone from her crevice of the door
wondering exactly why they are waging war
and what for
and that day her little heart slowed a few milliseconds
and her eyes dimmed
when she heard the word 'divorce'
though she did not know what it really meant.

She danced into diamonds gifted from the sun
She could even disappear, as long as
she stays long enough to be a bother.
Yet the sunlight needed her,
and so she would give all she had and her existence for him.
Yet, she was diminishing the passionate hearths and proud blazes with her embrace.
She was patient, as she carved canyons and rocks over the course of millions of years.
She sang
the lullaby of life as she cradled fishes in her bosom
and boats on her palms.

Fallen feathers and
lace like wings of a moth danced
on the gaps of the piano keys as
snow dissolved outside like seafoam
like foggy breath on a window on a cold day
The ivory keys felt ice cold and lonely
for they haven't been touched
in an awful long while.
The ghostly face of the walls of the room
stared back , pretending to give the lonely keys company
but even lies could be white.
