Each star in the sky
Shinning in the moonlight is
An unborn child’s smile
To every grieving mother
They all radiate and shine

A crow quacks in your chest for the home you left beyond repair—
coz even if you know
how to find your way back,
the trail is no longer the same
and the end of the road
does not guarantee
that somebody is still waiting

Day 2: Beyond Repair

Ours was an allegory of indecision—
Moving one step forward,
Taking two steps back
And love was the tide tickling the sands
Only to retreat
Back to the ocean

In celebration of #NaPoWriMo , I've decided to do the #AtoZChallenge. Happy #NationalPoetryMonth 📝❤️

March is almost over and another month will soon come knocking on our doors. And nope, April is not simply for the fools but for those who are fool enough (in a good way) to write poetry.
Yay! #NaPoWriMo Who's up for a daily dose of poetry? 😍📝

I was holding a cup of coffee when I heard her spitting curses from the other room. She was sitting in front of the mirror when I came in, her face buried on a Sylvia Plath. "What happened?" I asked.
She looked at me from her reflection with an expression I couldn't read, "I'm happy." This girl is insane. I try to read her mind but fail. Like I always do. "It's too much," she plainly stated as she flipped through the pages of The Bell Jar. "I keep reading these lines but nothing's working." She has always been fascinated with sad stories and sad songs and everything that has to do with sadness. "What is wrong with being happy?" I asked.
She walked right to me, tiptoed and gave me a kiss. "Nothing, of course. But art doesn't work that way. I need coffee. And a little bit of pain."
Do you know what fireworks evoke? The beauty of breaking. In lighting up only to burst against the dark sky— to scatter, to fade.
My hand reaches out to catch a tiny pebble, wishing that heartaches are like fireworks too. That we could watch love fall apart with a heart filled with joy.
I hope the genie listens.

Change my mind
Melt the strand of icicle
That pierced this chest
Let me believe in magic,
Mermaids and fairytales
And if, in case, you can't hand a happy ever after—
I'll have happy.
Let me have happy instead.
I'll take it any time.
Any day.

No more tristful days
Jumping over puddles
Of memories
No more gloomy nights
Waiting for the shadow
Of a phantom knight
Here, now, I decide
No more second chances
No more you and I

the moonlit sky
turned into
a demure black
and the city lights
blurred
as I got lost
in your gaze
it was as if
the universe
softened
and the hour hand
slowed down
for us to share
this bliss

It's killing me softly, love is. But I wouldn't mind this kind of death.
Icarus didn't aim to burn but he knew it was coming. He felt the wax scorching his back and saw the feathers falling off his wings. He could have stopped but there is so much we do not know about flying.
And, perhaps, this is how I refuse to be. To be like the trolls and sprites who must have watched Icarus in shame. Knowing that they never tried. Clueless of how great it must have felt. Forever wondering why Icarus chose such kind of death.
