pluie d'été Apr 2014
I always wonder
If I am missing you
Or if my heart
Is really in your chest
As well
And I'm just missing that
pluie d'été Apr 2014
disappointed eyes
hand pushing a jaw
away

it's not something i want to see
and i never asked you
to love me

wear a blindfold
so i can't see
sadness
watching me
echoing your unwavering
gaze

anger comes later
i know
i would read the lines
of your scowl
if i was brave enough
to see what they wrote

your gaze
will move away
at any moment
after you tell me
everything you hate
and i will be okay
and you will stop missing me
Tell me, have you ever been kissed in the rain
Ever loves so much that it wracks you with pain
Have you seen the sun rising, or watched as it set
Did you know they were perfect the moment you met
Have you looked into eyes, and seen naught but love
Thanked God for the blessings rained down from above
Have you lost someone special, a person held dear
When you’re alone and it’s dark do you wish they were near
Tell me of the memories, each second that passed
Of times you took first, and times you came last
Did you ever hold someone close, and whisper low
I love you forever and I won’t let go
Have you known you were wrong, and tried to make it right
The anguish of which won’t let you sleep at night
Do you miss what you had, are you mad you let go
Have you ever considered letting everyone know
Have you lost all you held, your home and your friends
Tell me, do you pray that your pains find their ends
I’ve known the top of the mountain, I’ve known the fall
I will always love you, my everything, my all.
When all the world shall fall on you
Your steadfast faith will see you through
And when the skies give naught but rain
The friends by your side will help ease the pain
When dragons and demons and enemies shall shout
It will be my endless love that will find you out.

there was a man
who swore
to be searching
for a god

he searched the sky
and found only clouds
and stars
and the sun
moving
further and closer
until his eyes
became
scarred glass

he searched the sea
counted over a billion waves
or one
that kept forming
on the same shore
and felt the fish
slip through his fingers
like the water they breathed
salty
on his tongue

he searched the forests
and read the letters
the bareness of winter
and the green of summer
wrote to the clouds
before every storm
and felt the fur
warm his fingers
like the gold
falling from the shadows
he swept away

he searched the desert
for the elusive
and found water
in the blue expanse
staining the horizon
(the sky must be a part
of the desert
if it's above it)
and felt the hiss
of time racing
pierce into the place between his thumb
and his hand

he searched the rivers
of every continent
diving deep
walking through
the sapphire
the grey
the brown
collecting water lilies
that smelled like the sea
in spring
and whispered secrets
like the wind

he searched the roads
and found the cities
connected by the smooth
tar
by crouching
and running his hand along it
writing messages
in the dust
and the snow
and the sunlight
for every blind man
to 'see'

he searched the cities
and found people
with staring eyes
blank eyes
cold eyes
empty eyes
eyes filling
with tears
or happiness
that looked up
or down
(never in front
or behind)
wearing colours
underneath the boxes
they were in
and in the end
he searched the libraries
for books
but found words
instead

you roll up
the stars
of the night sky
and look surprised
when you can't see them
through the smoke
pluie d'été Apr 2014
please don't
press me
to your chest again
my cheek
get's a stain
that leaks into my heart
and makes me miss you
a little bit more
every time
