Misty-Dragonfly

I wish you could see the light in your eyes- those deep brown portals that wake me up like morning coffee, accompanied by that saccharine smile I wish you could hear the passion in your voice when you talk about something you love, or the tenderness in it when you first wake up- an emollient blanket, it consumes me I wish you could feel the splendor in your aura- I've never drank, but I swear it must be imbued with wine, for I'm intoxicated by you I wish you could espy yourself as I do, so you could understand how beautiful I see you.

I grow distraught at the thought that my words will turn cloy under the weight of the waterfall imbued with my saccharine sentences; as my feelings cascade like a velveteen curtain, the ineffable emotions cover you like a coat- they continue to fervently flow, and become foamy pearls and pebbles pooling by your feet I know these waves of water won’t steal the breath from your lungs, but rather fill the riverine veins traveling towards the tributary of your awaiting heart, and for this- I’d rather drown you in affection, than have a drought.

i. your words drip with crimson as you bite your lip; you always liked to pretend you held the strength of metal, and now all that’s left is the aftertaste of copper trickling down your throat- what happened to the child throwing pennies in the fountain? ii. hidden under the threaded sleeves of your sweater, I can picture your hands shaking like earthquakes and your fists held clenched; I worry your fingernails cut dashed lines into the palms of your hands, like the ones painted on back roads and highways- I’m worried where you plan on going iii. viewing your puffy eyes and hearing woebegone-winded words tangle on your tra

Crumpling leaves beneath my feet Sitting comfortably on my bus seat I am on a mission, but not the ordinary kind There is something else on my mind Pulling the trigger, my last breath escapes Raking innocent lives in the wake ..Crumpling leaves beneath my feet..

Like a sun resting on a stormy cloud, My thoughts are screaming, but maybe too loud. Like these eyes of lasers burning me whole, When I am by myself, they take a toll. Am I too timid? I was once alone. Watching cliques that mold me into thick stone. Like a volcano wants to pour lava, When I speak, words twirl like rotten guava. Why cannot I be me? Why must I bleed? Like a sun resting on a stormy cloud, My thoughts are screaming, but maybe too loud.

There's a universe inside of you- it's been there quite a while, and I only hope you see the constellations that scintillate in your smile and I've heard there's billions of galaxies scattered in the sky, but I swear at least half of them are resting in your eyes.

The last thing I remembered was him staggering back with a knife in his back and his piercing yelp which submerged my senses. I tried saying something, anything, but I couldn't mutter even a squeak. Next thing I knew, I saw blackness.  I found myself being pulled into a car. I didn't even try to break free.  My hands were tied up with ropes like in the movies. Why do you want me? What good am I to you?

I turn around and we make eye contact I turn back and it makes me look stupid Are you looking at me or someone else or was it accidental or coincidental? Of course its someone else, I'm invisible and useless. Trying not to think of the possibilities of us together having a blast, Yet when you walk to go somewhere I stare you down innocently Can you feel my eyes darting at you? My eyes met his before, You're cool with everyone, fitting it like a puzzle But you pass me and I'm in agony You're in love already, happy where you are? If you process me, won't you think I'm ugly and weird? You talk to my friends, I'm there yet I look down Annoyi
