Guess

Footsteps cold, tea stains,
Circles, games,
Pixels on the wall,
Colors fall.

Secret lines,
Lost in time,
Silent recipe,
Hope and defiance.

Guess the sky,
Guess the stars.

Shadows, clocks,
Mismatched socks,
Tapping floor,
Slammed door.

Moon so thin,
Love a spin,
Phantom jars,
Dreams and scars.

Guess the sky,
Guess the stars.

Guess the sky,
Guess the stars.

Strawberry lies,
Apple pies,
Painted keys,
Drowning seas.

Guess the scars,
Guess the scars.

Guess I missed,
Guess I dreamed.

Guess it’s me

Hide and seek

Round and round,
You disappear,
Hide and seek,
You’re not near.

Catch my breath,
Now you’re gone,
In the dark,
Love is drawn.

Peek-a-boo,
I see you.

Now you fade,
I feel less,
When you’re close,
I care less.

Tag, you’re it,
Now I run,
Chasing dreams,
It’s no fun.

Peek-a-boo,
I see you.

Round and round,
Lost and found.

Peek-a-boo,
I see you.

Back and forth,
Hide and show,
One step close,
Then you go.

Catch my heart,
Let it slip,
Hold it tight,
Then you dip.

Peek-a-boo,
I miss you.

Round and round,
Lost and found.

Ghost of you

Candlelight,
Whispered names,
Circles drawn,
Flicker flames, call you near.

Cold glass,
Breath held tight,
Shadows dance,
In the night, I ask if you’re still here.

Gone like mist,
In a twist.

Worn-out paths,
Shattered glass,
Dust in air,
No one asks, but I still feel you near.

Faded gold,
Burnt out flame,
Fingers cold,
Forgot your name, the pain won’t disappear.

Gone like smoke,
While we spoke.

Ouija board,
Spirits speak,
Answer me,
Through the bleak, where the living and dead meet.

Gone like dust,
Fading fast.

Wish you were really dead,
in that case it might hurt less.

Bitter glass

Shattered beams,
A prism fades,
Fingers trace
The edge of blades.

Fractured light,
Brittle dreams,
Eyes reflect
What never seems.

Bitter glass, bitter glass,
Cuts too deep, won’t let it pass.
Bitter glass, bitter glass,
Holds the light, then breaks the past.

Crimson drops
On velvet skies,
Broken whispers,
Silent cries.

Glinting shards,
Scars unseen,
Ghostly shapes
In silver sheen.

Bitter glass, bitter glass,
Cuts too deep, won’t let it pass.
Bitter glass, bitter glass,
Holds the light, then breaks the past.

Hold the shards,
Feel them sink,
Let the glass
Consume the ink.

Pause

Fingers rest,
Table dust swirls in the light.
Breath held,
Marks remain from silent nights.

Vanilla scent,
Faint and warm, it fades away.
Curtains drawn,
Shadows move in pale display.

Pause,
A heartbeat trapped in endless air.
Pause,
Time dissolves but leaves a trace bare.

Chocolate tones,
Melted hues that softly stay.
Steps erased,
Paths erased by time’s decay.

Clock unwound,
Footfalls vanish, floor turns still.
Eyes wide shut,
Windows frame the dark they fill.

Pause,
A heartbeat trapped in endless air.
Pause,
Time dissolves but leaves a trace bare.

No sound, no call,
Just the quiet in it all.

Fragile skin

Ebbing tides,
Electric eyes,
Flicker light,
Night slides.

Shadow dreams,
Wax rivers rise,
Breeze whispers,
Leaves tangled in trees.

Time spins like wild winds,
Patterns etched on fragile skin,
Faces blend, then end.

Slow mirrors,
Petals in snow,
Silver waves,
News on the radio.

Smoke shapes,
Truth in disguise,
Crystals form, shatter twice,
Ripples in the dark lake.

It draws us closer in,
It draws us closer in,
