Shades of Me

Deep in the depths of my thoughts

I can be sweet and happy and stress-free but I

See the lines on the faces to

Create a new visage I don't

Have

I tell myself to make a metamorphosis

Butterfly wings

Monarch of the art

Falling into a natural equilibrium

I can't.

It's my nature.

Do I accept off-beat melodies

For shadows of possibilities?

Someday the light will

Reflect a kaleidoscope of

The shades of me,

Maybe,

All the shades of me.

Recent Accomplishments

I started a new hobby.

I collect beads

And bottles

Of my tears.

I made a deal with the stars.

They’ll constellate

Into my own

On a walk of fame.

Untitled

A haiku.

White Christmas never

Came, hopes falling down, starting

All over again

Saltwater

Last Saturday I visited the ocean

And pretended I wasn’t cold

Now I can’t fake the bubbliness

I’ve to admit, saltwater is delicious

Why do you have to be

Oceans away from me

When I need you the most?

A single word could make my day

Or even just your face

This isn’t one of those songs

Where I complain about my life

Or how I can’t breathe

Or why I can’t see

I’m better than that

I’mma replace that

With a box of my saltwater tears

Why do we have to be

So unable to speak?

Decipher my telepathy

In this strange land

Someday my velleity

Will start a well of these memories

The box will be dry

I won’t have to cry

In my box of saltwater tears
