Flames

Soulmates always having to be thunderstorms 

invading beats of hearts 

making bad choices 

good choices in the eyes 

beholding some sort of hope of compatibility..

I surrender my indifference 

pity time spent 

figuring out the calmest storm. 

Teetering in doubts collectively united 

storing them in glittery satin ribbon tied boxes.. 

we should enjoy moments like this..

repeating harmonious fears 

neglecting our power  . 

Let’s pray... 

Combustion of silences, 

we face invisible lines and 

tongues tainted in white lies 

blacken our vision 

we stay loving a slow death.

Inside and out

I’ve imagined sunshiny moonlights crossing paths with black cats

Resting assured the we don’t meditate on thoughts .. 

thinking only in sub titles 

and its foreign to me that you only see clear shadows .. 

blackened moments brighten my day.. imagine that. 

In fact .. 

how soon we forget the bliss of ignorant sweet dreams 

and salty wounds hidden in depths of unspoken memories. 

You are not who I pretend to see
