You are a star,
A star that is not reachable that Twinkles far far away. I hold you in my hands, as if you are in my reach, But I know you are burning light-years away from me, Untouched by my grasp You are a wave, A wave that comes and goes, Grows and shrinks. Making swooshing sounds that only you can make And a conch shell can mimic I hug you with my arms But as the tides get bigger and smaller I know you are not the same wave as I hugged at first But then again, You are a star Light-years above me. You might not know I am here Watching your brilliance. You might think you are the only one burning. So here I am Burning a candle light-years below you So as to say You are not alone. But then again, You are a wave Growing and shrinking. You might not be the same wave that I hugged at first But you are a wave; I am me And I wet my feet in your ebb and flow So as to say I am here with you too.

That moment when we were comparing our heights and
I was clearly so much taller than you, but only momentarily You thought about coming closer to me and See how much difference there was I saw that thought come through your head and Leave a small trace I could tell from that pause you held, that small hesitance of yours Stopped my breath for just a second Only a short second, but long enough to matter. Long enough to make a difference. I wish you did come closer And break that delicate barrier of this budding friendship And took me in Embraced me Gave a small kiss against my neck That would have changed it all Wouldn’t that have been so wonderfully romantic? I know it won’t happen. I know you won’t take that leap Because I know you don’t feel the way I do About us. What a shame What a waste of one-way emotions… We would have written a novelette together A short, sweet one at that. I mourn for that unborn story The story waiting to be lived and told But it won’t happen Or it already did in my head But realization is not its fate. What a tragedy it is For the unborn… All I wish to see is a flower blossoming in my palm
In the sunshine and the rain In light hearts and pain I also wish to let it go Plant its preciousness in soil and let it grow On its own, in its own body and strength I wish to be there when it’s in full bloom, When the sun shines through and through As the ray of the sun lifts the beauty in all its glory I also wish to be there when the petals fall And the color starts to fade For it is time for it to wane No room for regret For she has left her seeds of beauty behind Now there is hope that these will be even more divine At this moment I hand these seeds in your palm So you can enjoy and taste the beauty of love and life For there is no joy that could be bought at any price. |
