Sad Poems

Melt a frozen riverto let in another floating wordto boil you from inside. You won’t changewhen winter wanders byto bring downyour rising flame. It’s all smokewithout mirrors.You’ve gone blindto sensation.Where wounds exist,you rewrite themwith premature scars. Your breath could bea bold silver,if you could be stillto see your paceon its retreatinto blurred recognition. What you…

You’re sharing sideswith the last biteof your conformity. You’re losing light,dreaming during dayfor the nightto welcome you backto count breaths. You see thunderwhere there shouldbe a guiding sunrise. You sense a stormon the approach,while you’re walkingover those tracksfrom behind. Take your pale extensionto impale it uponheaps of snow. You’ve long been alignedwith the sad natureof…

Our reflections,buried in shallows,along with our thoughtsburied into the mireof yesterday. To filter throughthe crackling soundsof shattered voices,of what goes oninside its blueblessings. To burn insideall we’re hoping for,surviving on the rightto seek shelterfrom the rain,in the night. It’s the mostwe can fathom,while we’re deprivedof our endearments,of our imminence. To tempt the sunto replace the…

Unfoldinglike blank pages,stirring during nightswhen forgivenessis just as colorless. Imagining a seato walk the miles,to not sink beneathlingering thoughts. Bound by beliefsthat hurt morethan what I can still see. Burned by what Ican still retrieve,even when I slumberunder falling rain. It’s all a battlefieldwhere stories are retold,fortunes are abandonedamong rotting flesh. I have come,crawling with a…

Fragile partsbound without muchto provide purpose,to stick loyaltyto its desired shape. Fractures are an invitebecoming you to fallover that cliff,for you to plungeyour heartinto your mind. You never seeall that happensbehind you,where nighttimethrives on broken seams,distorted dreams. Fatal departure,one after another,loosens your sanitythrough its cure. You return,covered in tears,smothered in the safetythat darkness hears. One…

Hope stirsin who you’ve seen,lacking their imagerythat the world treatsas invisible children,dressed in white. To you,they’ve surrendered,just as youenter their sceneryto fill their riverswith contentsfrom broken dams. You’re weepingtheir overdue tears,raining through their rest,or when they’re awareof their breath. You’re their piecesto rebuild,with hands that bleed,with a face that smilesfor someone unseen. But what you…

There are scars,the evidence of usfalling apart. There are pieces,leftover from whenwe wanted this. We were buriedunder repeated words,unending rain,our excuses to separatethat first kissfrom the final twist. We were too securein our wounds,idling while we bledto see if our bodies,at their melting point,can be a guide. What falls from Heavenis a slice of ourunkind…

Trapped in somethingmore spontaneous,than what endedin heartbeatsafter a heartbeat. Fingers tremble,a face swellsinto a state of symphonywhere sadness eliminatesbetter execution. I’m become eclipsedfrom a strange placeto a stranger world. I’ve become entangledin bedsheets,stained in claw marks. Having to burywhat I can’t bring upwith words that sputteras leftover fuelfor a life that resistsinspection. Under an oceanic…

Present those eyesglowing from starlight,drowning inthermal remorse,celestial anticipationfrom the anchorsyou’ve had to drop. Tears fall downlike weightsfrom slumped shoulders.A cradle for your heart,an age for your daymoves youwith your debris. Over earthen waters.Beneath, where a signalflashes for the faceof an incomplete lifetime,you are hurting. Beyond these limits.A horizon burnsan angelic serenityfor your commitmentto a long…

Tears can fallfor so longto fill up gapswe were to reign in,to hear our heartbeatsup close and personal. It’s a momentto decidewhat to reviseon a pagewhere we pledgeda storm to fill outall the spaces. A time has cometo rebuildon a drained sea,from a dried facewithout a traceof what once diedon the inside. Bringing the piecesto…

Weakening evidenceoften supportsyour lack of a trueexcuseto be there. Don’t apologizefor what hasended already. Don’t surviveon scraps,for you are morethan what will end upat the bottom. You’ve built this liewithout realizingthe meaningbehind your heartbeat. You’ve burned your bridgewithout knowingthat it was headingbeyond Heaven. Step backto see this disguiseyou have letbe the backwards approachto a golden…

Over again,calm waterslet us cross into a fieldwhere we raiseda rotting refugewith a loose knot,before a feverburned it down. We can’t keepcoming around,to keep tryingwhen our cold handsare alwayswet with tears. To keep breaking downtakes us pastour limits, more than once.We will neverbe able to see the sun,until that knotdivides intothe best of oursymmetry. Into…
