Aimlessly
There’s a park close to where you live where I got struck by lightning.
Last night, in a lonely dream I flew anxious and as light as a feather on my way to you.
My skin cooled the warm wind until I got to your backyard.
I must have gone in the wrong direction because as I grew nearer to you I became weaker.
“No one wants me to love you”.
They probably envy you like
I envy the needy flesh and air that draws us apart;
It lacks all that is pure and real.
The world is the saddest place when you do not think me.
Petty is the scheme of things; they just don’t feel right when you’re mad at me.
If you neglect me we will all go hungry, sad and incomplete.
I need you more than a fool needs a friend and more than the foully need reflection;
Without you I have neither.
If others loved me as much as you did I’d be the luckiest of girls.
I tried to move on alone, snapped a wing and fell into the ocean;
Then drowned in the mouth of a shark.
I can overcome anything: except towards you my strength bee, bite and sting naïve.
In my next life I will try to be loyal till I’m worthy of you
Yesterday
I transformed into a mermaid, swam to the bottom of the ocean and found you
laying quiet and still in a jewelry box.
You seemed so peaceful that I could not find the heart to hurt you, wake you, nor steal you.
So I swam away and left you to someone less cowardly.
My home is a vain madhouse and a vicious cat-house as a consequence for having left you.
A wild lion running aimlessly…
