Trees
The forest is filled with trees
All similar yet all so different
They stand, each proud, branishing their leaves
Each wanting to be The one
Each wishing to become something else
Yet they are all of the same template
In a forest, none stands out
At one glance, colours merge and collate
Into a big haystack
From your viewpoint they are the same
But from theirs they can't see such vision
If only you can bestow upon them your mind
Act like a spectacle, give them sight.
Untouchable
What was it before?
A mere kiss? Hug? Love that
Shone no more than that blast
Of fire.
Did you see the person
Within the shell of looks?
Was the character's heart the one
That captivated? Or was it
Nothing more than a
Passing gust of breeze.
A falling leaf is beauty, so is
The rose at full bloom.
We grabbed that moment and enjoyed it
The seconds before the sun rises,
The silence before the first call for daylight
During the night at that longest night,
We took the beauty in everything
And savoured every passing perfection. So
When dawn breaks and it's morning,
the leaf touches ground
The pedals start shedding, following nature's
Call. And we awake, separate,
No longer living in such
Surreal reality.
In process I failed
The needle was heated, overheated
The selection was made, overmade
The thread was chosen to be golden
Carefully crafted, yet not with care
Heavenly wonder plaugh the clouds in the air
All perfectness faded to imperfection in symmetry
No perfectness in colour too, nothing left
Feelings spurred on with a metal jab
Each seam was sewn to be each's best
And yet each's best was too consciously rubbish.
All the respect in the world
Will not earn this title right
All I knew once curled
Sour and sealed tight
I've cried sometimes and all I loved
Now these tears melt fiery hot into tools of hatred
All your life will fade as everything is lose
Will you then, see?
The Correct Mistake
I called again and twice
Each when answered was a wince
Startled and sputtered,
Perhaps I took choice wronged
Took politeness as intention
And made a wrong timed decision
Undo It.
