to the moon, i love you


in the middle of window pain

the sad wind slaughters butterflies 

as they leave your body

now not even a corpse will remains

but

seeing through that old glass …

inhale, exale,

whar did it mean?


i hope one day you’re looking around 

you wonder where the wind blew

the purest heart 

an old beloved…

your favorite violin sound 

when the relentless love 

your once most favored kiss…

nowhere to be found 

why can’t you feel it?

say,

what will become of you

when you look the sky 

but can no longer find the moon 


it seems time has now met 

it’s most stubborn enemy 

even if i lost my step,

i’d stand up every time 

you knocked me down

our 2 year waltz, our 2 year war

despite your arrogance

despite stubbornness

reject a temporary shield 

or moments’ retreat

hey,

look at me

i’ve yet to fully resign

i cannot recede 


see me?

perched on storm clouds

SEE ME?

with one hand hanging….

down,

HELP!

i’m slipping 

still reaching now

screw me,

screw you

my brain’s vapid

and wishful thinking

screw that too

oh i’m dramatic?

how cute!

little fluid, stupid dreams 

poor you!

but if he also held a sword

tell me,

how am i the only one 

seen!

& indicted for these casualties?

sigh,

as i ask myself:

did i learn anything?

when pure naivety 

still proves to be

a match for me?

silly, silly, silly

she falls victim every time

self-made fallacies 

delusional deceiving…

my & your reflection 

they question me

but applaud him


you hear me?

call me insane

you bear my brain?

maybe now you relate


do you whisper in her ear 

between kisses 

“you’re gorgeous” ?  

is she exotic?

so thoughtful? 

and never toxic? 

is her mind so fascinating

the girl in your movie….

does she get excited -

but appropriately hide it?

is she calculating 

though,

to your preferred degree?

is she too calm to ever get aggressive?

yet,

too unbothered to ever be possessive?


do you tell her she’s your brightest star

her words sound like everything?

a more melodious cello, is her heart

you say she’s all you’ve been missing?


does she never overreact?

constantly make you laugh?

a perfect balance -

serious, humorous?

whatever flavor you prefer that day

she would never incite jealousy 

that would only push you away?


does she love problems just enough?

and she would never write too much?

are they just as nice,

her eyes? 

is it better-timed,

her honest side? 

won’t tell her that since you met her,

she’s grown 

cause she’s already the best

you’ve ever known 


what if

it’s your kiss,

the one i imagine at night

what if i

still can’t bring myself 

to let go, to say goodbye?  


what if i still daydream?

what then?

what does it mean?

in my head,

together, we are dancing 

back when

we were free

back when

we were happy 

what if

in my mind 

you’re still twirling me 

falling in your arms

and into your heart 

but yours are open this time


i love you

if only in spirit,

you are here by my side

i miss you, but,

i’ll see you in the next life
