In wanderlust
In wanderlust I still suffer
and I want to run away from
everything that encircles your
taste, your face, your ghost
and the songs that sings out
from your lips,
I fear that I have to reveal
my hidden secrets upon your listening
ears, and when you stand so close to me
like thick foggy asthma,
I can’t breathe easily
while I hear you like the birdsongs
up from the green and violet trees
I hang my courage on these lips
trembling with questions
the fear of losing perpetually sinks in,
I am a defeat,
so I distance myself from the recognition
it’s funny that I still
find myself, liking you
every little thing about you.
Good morning.
There was something—
promising and preternatural
in the frost that did away
with the laces of her
smile, stitched by morning’s
declaration of staunch affection
and the easy cadence of
the throbbing bluebird’s chest,
when she confessed
to all the sins that had lined
the acres of the night.
You know you’ve finally found a name
for the nothingness you fear
when you’re screaming into silence
and silence is all you hear
When you see the sickness rise in clouds
from the masses on the streets
and the things from dreams come closing in
but you can’t move your feet
When the gently smiling faces say
it’s all within your mind
(you never see the madness
it comes sneaking up behind)
