19. a reminder:
soft flows the river
where the rain remains
a rhythm of a story of old:
two entangled cosmic filaments
caught up in themselves
blind to their own estrangement

18. suspended in air
there's something in the way her
tortured eyes smile
like the ending she knows
is tragic, but she tries
knowing that forever
could be written in the stars
she shoots for the moon
to fall into your arms

17. truth
i'll be honest, i saw the dust
settled before you scuffed
your toe across the line:
remember when you were mine?
remember when this was fine?

16. so embarrassing
everything embarrassing
is always linked to you
i'm performing under pressure
like the monkey in your zoo
this isn't how it's meant to be
this isn't what i do
i don't deserve your third degree
so screw this, and screw you

15. beach
i watch - i watch the time - i watch the waves - i watch the way you pause in front of the ocean - i watch the way you glance at me - the corner of your eye - and i - i want to say hello - i want you to say hello - i want one of us to say - something - i am stuck - romance shy - so my chance dies - i'm sorry - a stupid reason - i wait - i apologise - if it was you - i guess i'll never know now - stupid me - why can't you be - more brave?

14. a reoccurring dream
i escape to a place in my mind / where reality meets fiction and my sight / is blurred and murred by a love of all things new / carpe diem with one hand / hold non omnia possumus omnes in the other / wrestle with the contradiction / of ever-changing change: it revolves and this evolves / dissolves / into solutions minus a problem / the dream? it didn't stay / but it returned / again

13. purr
how citrus lingers from yesterday night
like the ginger cat curled,
purred at my feet
how dishes collect on the kitchen sink
and second-nature second chance
burn bright between glances

12. oh, the light!
oh, my darling, wait for it now...
at night, at dawn, at starfall
oh, look how it glimmers
one tear away from a shimmer

11. posture
sit taller, sit brighter
stand stronger, stand lighter
grace becomes you; fills the space
pride of posture in your gaze

10. fog
it hovered over the cityscape
like a restless hummingbird
a quiet fog, a shrouded silence…
a thousand whispered words

9. bad habit
i have a bad habit of backing out
before i see things through
not with projects; just with you
not with poems; just the muse

8. what's the truth
the world was full of blue
not of rain clouds, just of you
now the air is cleared of colour
a darker hue: still you

7. portrait
gave your picture portrait polish
saved your favourite frame to hang
from the eaves, you left it dropping
crumpled heart and mangled panes

6. a childhood memory
elephant in the room,
everyone staring
ignored all the warnings
and kept yourself cool
your energy is draining
my endless patience waning
how can i care
when i'm so done with sharing?

5. spiral
i'm not sure if it's wise to wonder
whether words are swords
or spirals
...you could just assume they're both

slipped, then dipped
got up too fast
tripped on over

3. eye contact
from under lashes, amber rose
to meet with idle foes
something going through her mind
impossible to know
