escape

when a book draws you away

you know you have gone over to the other side

you get lost in fiction

because you rather be there then be here in reality

this happens when reality is just too cold and harsh

to understand and withstand

you know your smile would at least be real

then the forced kind you make in this world

unruly and unkind

you retreat into the desolate world of words

and turn your back to the barren land of feelings

leaving behind all hope and disappointment

to be contented by the plain sight of words

and made up fantasy

savouring the lies of writers

and tricked into oblivion by the paragraphs of beautiful literature

blinded by the illusion of hope and desire

habouring yet another bundle of pure bliss

and fall into the traps yet again

eye candy

it started out as a feast for the eyes

how perfect your face seemed

there were no sparks

nor were there feeling

just the silent glee of seeing you

but she got greedy and wanted more

what was just an innocent infatuation

slowly turned into more

the sight of you excites her

the sound of you intrigues her

she feels the warmth spreading across her body

and the perfect face seems to glance right pass her

oh how she craves to be noticed

looked at and loved

by you

breathless

you are like a camera;

capturing me like a moment

you are like a roller coaster;

giving me the ride of my life

you are like a fire;

warming up my cold heart

you are like a woolen jumper;

caressing me like an infant

you are like the apple on the highest branch

leaving me longing for you

you are like a fascinating displaying;

forbidding me to break eye contact

you are like a vacuum;

rendering me breathless

departure

the icy cold hangs in the air

waiting for the first snowflake to fall

winter whispers its name as the wind race past our face

you pull harder on your coat

keeping the chill out

as you tug at your coat flaps

i tug my heartstrings

pacing down the cobblestone street

dimly lit by the lone street lamp

our silence screaming the deafening melancholy

the stillness of the moment does nothing to soothe the pain i feel

for you are leaving

lone

they came in,

shook my hands and make small talk

they stayed and assured a fun time

they made a silent promise to go through it all

but then one picks up the phone

and called to be picked up, to go home

then others follow suit

and left me to say bye

we decided to continue our plans

to stay and enjoy and to go through it all

but you stood up and went into a room

and beckoned the others to follow

but you shut the door in my face

turned the lock

leaving me bruised and shattered

as i sat alone and contemplated

i realised how it is that people enter and leave

leave you alone and in the dark

pearls

the strain is taut

the pull hurts

the tension so deafening

mist settle before my eyes

blur visions,contorted in the light

glassy views,changing forms and shapes

i tried to hold it in

i grabbed onto the remaining strenght

i slipped and fell

down; till the end

mask

she feels fear

but she places a strong front

she feels sadness

but she appears cheerful

she feels weak

but she shows strength

the mask will never fall

for it gives her power to stand up for a little longer
