Vivid hues

like a brushstroke 
upon this bare canvas 
love paints the world 
in vivid hues 
it invites the fingers 
to glide gently 
along the velvety texture 
of a rose petal 
to taste the sweetness 
of ripe fruits 
to savor the warmth 
of a lover’s embrace
it lures the nose 
to inhale deeply 
the fragrant scent 
of blooming flowers
the earth after a rain storm
and the faint traces 
of distant memories
that will eternally live within 
these walls of my soul

Facade

in shadows cast
by a broken facade
we once existed 
in this old home
stained glass 
from hushed secrets
the lies fell one by one
on the ledge 
a breath away from freedom
these empty walls
now echo with echos
absorbing words of anger
stale smoke now lingers
through every room
screaming to be heard
but no one there to listen

and somewhere inside
that fragmented place
a part of her is still there
hidden in memories

Mosaic of moments

in the heartbeat of memories 
where time surrenders
whispers of the past 
float on a gentle breath
a tapestry woven 
with threads of forgotten days
the past just a symphony 
of fragmented melodies
echoing through the corridors 
of my mind
and with each day that passes
I’ll remember
you and I this way
a mosaic of moments 
stitched together for a lifetime

Painting hues

in the realm 
of tender whispers
where silence finds its voice
a dance of you and I 
an intimate love song
that replays within our touch
your lips like brushstrokes 
upon my delicate canvas
painting hues of desire’s bloom
each touch a stanza of longing
an ode to love’s sweet essence
for in this verse of stolen moments
where time itself doesn’t exist
a kiss becomes a timeless poem
etched in the depths of you and I

Unraveled

I’ve always believed 
that on the other side of me 
on the other side of this
there has always existed you 
it was in those quiet moments 
when all I could hear 
was the tick-tock of the clock 
I could feel the darkness of the night 
lying quietly upon my skin
and in these moments 
here with you
I feel so infinite
every layer of myself
begins to unravel
naked before you
wearing only my scars
and I am finally seen
finally free
