There’s a #pain
that #shadows
over my #soul.
An overcast
that hovers
over my days
until finally
a raindrop falls
like a tear & it
feels like a #kiss.
A small embrace
like a sympathetic
touch of my soul.

There were words
that were unwritten
& went unspoken.
Feelings that were
never expressed.
Hidden in #dark
#lacunas of pages
never written.
Eyes that avoid
contact. A heart
that has gone
missing.

Over the horizon,
the mountains #touch
the first morning light.
The darkness begins
to fade in a symphony
of birdsongs.
Their wings glisten
in the morning’s
brilliant sunlight.

There’s an #ache
in my belly,
a wrung sensation
in my stomach.
A moment now
collapsing,
the floor beneath
me is crumbling.
The curtains were
drawn before I was
ready. The spotlights
are blinding me.
The act is unraveling.

My heart sunk
as the moment
struck with
a heavy blow.
Left me trembling
like a pile
of #pale #bones.

I reach for the letter,
slide my finger along
the edge with great
discomfort. Drip,
drip,
a bead of #blood
on the tip
of my finger
& a bloodstained letter.

within her ghostly
shell, a #lambent
smile & a glow
in her eyes.

Hidden
in the mist
I walk
as a #ghost,
retracing
my former
footsteps.

Lost within
the distance
of time. Moments
separated by
expanding ocean
beds. Shorelines
hidden in a misty
fog to a past
I’m incapable
of reliving.
But I’m still filled
with #gratitude
for the moments
we once shared.

I #recall the forest
dressed in white.
Diamond dust
was glittering in
the morning’s sunlight.
A stillness & silence
in the air. My words
visible, syllables
suspended in
warm exhales.

This desert is scarred
with ancient riverbeds
& floodplains. Just
the #memory of
the touch of a single
raindrop would
accumulate in a tear.
Gushing in emotions,
engulfing everything
in its wake.

Within the jumble
of corporate ties
& dapper attire,
he stood out like a #boho
at the day’s stock market
exchange. Indifferent
to his surroundings,
his life not tethered
to this artificial world.
He walked passed
with his own accord.

Within the bleakness
of heavy skies, a single
#ray. A sunbeam ushers
in a renewed hope
for the day.

It was an inverse
of emotions
the reddish
iron-rich sky,
smoldering fury
of a dust storm.
Settles & then
clears in time
for the soft blue tint
of a #martian sunset.

There’s this lingering
feeling like a #saucer
that #hovers above
the surface. Emitting
an #energy that alters
the very #atoms
of my being.
My soul softly
fleeting. I’m drifting,
slipping into
the unknown.

1947,
lightning-like
flash in the sky.
A crash & #unearthly
rubble & remains
left to be found
in the desert.

The night fell
& I’ve lost
my #chance.
Only waiting
now for
tomorrow’s
dawn. So
hopefully
I can
begin anew.

My #conscious being
lost within dreams.
Dreaming deeply
forgotten memories.
Playing scenarios
I wouldn’t otherwise
would’ve imagined.
Waking up
& wondering
was it nothing
more than a dream?
I was left questioning.

Serenity has
eluded me
constantly
dwelling on
an #arbitrary past
that I refuse
to let go of…

#Sentient no more,
not even a robot,
an automaton.
No longer a being.
A hollow shell
of a soul that doesn’t
love or think anymore.
Moments forgotten
& gone. An old book
dusted & worn
in a language
that is spoken
no more.

Ambient morning
light shines into
the room. The bitter
taste of coffee lingers
on my tongue. Outside
the morning air has
an earthy scent, maybe
it had sprinkled
sometime during
the night. Today, I
took in the #mundane
before rushing into
another arduous day.

#Vigil candles
lit thru the night,
gleaming
luminously,
flickering
tears
of remembrance.
