forgetting (Remove filter)
Drifting
Until sweet sleep washes over you
And you allow it to carry you away
Peacefully surrendering to the tide
Abandoning your body...
You drift from the bay
Falling under the lapping waves
Deeper and deeper into calming darkness
Letting go and forgetting
At the very same time
Until eyes open like the shore
Crashing onto the rocks
And sun expands across you
Placing yo...

Don't let me forget

Forgetting Me Suits You
You look better than for ages
A healthy bloom on your skin
The way you walk so boldly
Proudly holding up your chin
Of course, you didn't see me
Admiring your mien so new
I must admit, against my will
That forgetting me suits you
Yet paradoxical as it seems
Without my baneful actions
You'd be that mouse of old
Tip-toeing about in fractions
Yes, I c...

LET's PRAY
I DON'T THINK, OF YESTERDAY.
LET'S TO THINK, WHAT IS TODAY?
SUN COMES, ALWAYS, BRAND-NEW.

I LOVED YOU, SAME AS YOU ARE.

I DON'T ASK, I DON'T CARE.
NOBODY IS BLAMELESS, EVERYDAY.
HEART IS OPEN, COME AND SHARE.
I NEED TO HEAR YOU, JUST SAY.
TOMORROW IS COMING, AS A SHINY DAY.
I LOVED YOU TOO, LE...

A Wound That Never Heals
A Wound That Never Heals
It hurts me
when a you shaped hole
appears in the cosmos,
where there is
an absence of colour,
where the sound
scrapes along,
where the light
is masked by
dense grey mist.
That’s where
I miss you
the most.
When it rains
a greasy rain,
when the cracked bell
clangs,
when the planets
are misaligned.

What We Leave Behind (and what we take)
You told me I was worthy of more, but always convinced me to stay
But today
Today I leave our bedroom the way it was left this morning
Cushions and pillows adorning the bed
we chose for this life together
A shared bathroom that won't be shared anymore
Two shelves, one mostly empty
A walk in wardrobe, filled once with fabric that clothed us
Only now it is bare with...
