october evenings

Posted by poeticnook on 10/23/2003 11:51:00 PM in
the pale moon hides the darkness
against the fallen leaves

the rain stays deaf and heartless
at the melancholy it weaves

a tear or two drops gently
for yesterday's forgotten vows

as a butterfly rests so silently
while the gentle wind blows

and with its feigned indifferece
the night blindly unfolds

reciting this mournful cadence
for the budding love it molds

so, you're going home..

they say you're going home
you miss the dust, the traffic,
the rust colored smog, and
everything mundane that defines
the place we were born

and i just say i miss home,
the streets i ran away from,
the posts i played hide and seek with,
the bright lights, the gravel,
the stones, everything in between

but i belong nowhere, im a wanderer,
a homeless away from home,
and i stay here, just another port
among the nameless ports i've been,
counting the clouds of this alien city

you say you're going home soon,
for a week or two perhaps, good for you..
bring back a handful of stars from our sky,
a pocketful of dreams from the air,
bring back a piece of my home with you..

goodbye, take care, see you soon. =)

burying ghosts

Posted by poeticnook on 10/13/2003 02:32:00 AM in
just one of those nights when a
    good night becomes a goodbye and
everything ends too soon
    one after another, like glass
reminded of its fragile corners.
    only 3am and half said words
invites this much space between us.
    dreams take on the feel of old age,
captured moments bleed away,
    between us - the long silence..
keep the stains of reality floating,
    yesterday is always too late,.

    even now, even after all this time.

je veux vous oublier

Posted by poeticnook on 10/01/2003 10:41:00 PM in
you have gone
i must have forgotten
the angels took you
to become the clouds
to be one with the rain
to fall with my tears

yet you linger
in my waking and dreaming
i taste you every night
as i close my eyes
i cant sleep,
i never sleep

i cant spill you out of me
