HOPE
I wish to marry a poet
Who will pen me down
In such a magnificent way
And make me drown
In the ocean of his words all day

I wish to marry a poet
Whom the theory of his ink
Will channel him to find inspiration in me
As I turn him on through each wink
Like the universe belong to him and his rhyme

I wish to marry a poet
Who will turn our love story
Into a fairytale triangle
Like a startling light of the glory
Shining bright like a candle
Imagine having to read one of the piece about you so sweet and fascinating that you even shed a tear because the things written down just overwhelms you.

Joan
You want me to cry
Maybe it's better to pray for me
To stay alive

I am robbed
of eloquence
Measly words
that doesn't seem
sincere enough
To prove
my affections
My thoughts
and
emotions
Hidden behind
closed windows
Neither light
nor spark
can shed
some clarity
Of grief
and pain
The unbidden
hurt I
have inflicted
on me
A thirst
for sympathy
and wordless
understanding
It's hard to talk about things that matter

Henry
I crackle through dead leaves
Layered over dry, green grass
Hands in my pockets
Making sure not to trip
I crouch in front of a stranger's grave
A rough, stone reminder
Of a soul lost in time
I read their name aloud
And I let them know they're not forgotten

You fill yourself with toxicity
Wish you could see
The beauty I find
Which lights you up

It never goes away
Always there
Your brown locks
And everything below

Your smile shines bright
Like there's not a care in the world
But I know what's hidden underneath
The things you want to hide from

I wish I could know
To hold you while your spiral happens
So you feel my embrace
And be loved instead

I know you hide from yourself
I wish I could tell you
I'll care for you
But I know you won't believe

Is there some way I could show it?
That I'm not going to leave
Because of your inside
Haven't I given you proof already?

I understand it
But sometimes you have to explore
And discover the pain
To turn it into comfort

You'll never find satisfaction
With your inside
If you're lying to yourself
It'll effect the outside too

I know it's hard
But I want to do this with you
I don't abandon people
So please
Can I come in?
Let me know what you think.
