Bittersweet.

Failed pretty;

Loved ugly.

Drowned in idealism;

Engulfed in fear.

Mustered strength;

Awoken senses.

Smiled in pain;

Albeit crying in love.

Adjustments.

She could not capture when

Or how it came from the shadows,

That the brightness in his eyes;

The saturation of his skin,

Became highlights she wanted to see the most.

Ideal.

Like sunrise,

I’d trust you lead and shine light.

I’d have no fear in the darkest of nights.

Like waves,

You’d lift me, bring me along, or to shore.

Cyclical, rhythmic, calm and more.

Like rain,

You’re okay to let me see your mess,

Dream with me for rainbow even when chances are less.

Like sunset,

We’d hold space for us to unwind.

Even when you’re not the brightest, I wouldn’t mind.

Cake.

Candles lighted,

Before us a creamy buttery slice.

In the sepia and dim,

Light was brightest in your eyes.

In all snow and white,

You brought flaring summer.

Two heart popsicles,

Melting into sweet pink mush.

Orchestra.

As if diving into the sea

While a fighter jet flew by with uncertainties.

As if the conductor raised his hand

And the orchestra of worries halted.

He seemed to be her sense of peace,

Calming to the point she could hear her heart racing —

Unsure if it’s from the anxious thoughts.

Or the sheer presence of him.

Anxious.

Tippety tap, tippety tap

Footsteps hurrying.

Tippety tap, tippety tap

Raindrops fighting.

Tippety tap, tippety tap

Fingers stimming.

Tippety tap, tippety tap

Her heart thudding.

Hey.

Hey you’re taking up space

How do I get you out of my head

‘Cos I’m not sure if you’ve paid for

Them prime real estate

Whir.

Counting each time

You made my heart race,

Like needles on the sewing machine,

Thumping in and out.

Fast and slow

Then turning the edges,

Whirring along the outline of us

Slightly hurting yet seals us complete.

Villain.

A touch of poison;

A kiss of death.

Your hugs were wreaths

Enclosed with regrets.
