Melancholic Mind

melancholic mind

it's quiet in my mind

melancholic and calm

the waters

are lapping softly

on the shores

the waves

are no more than ripples

on the surface of my thoughts

a sombre navy blue

moonlight hits it gently

highlighting the peaks

and enveloping

my tired limp body

it coats my pale cheeks

and blue lips

it caresses

my collarbones

and ribs

the touch of moonlight

reminds me of you

it is so delicate

and careful

You good ?

that, my friend, is a complicated question

life has been hectic recently, literally starting a big move today so i haven't been posting much as of late but i have some things to share once i get settled.

as for the poetry itself, most of it is based on difficult aspects of my life and how i'm feeling.

sad poetry is easier to write than happy so the majority tends to fall in the same depressing category. but i'll be ok eventually, it'll all be ok.

so long answer short, not really but i'm getting there

(thank you for asking)

love hungry mongrel

love hungry mongrel

you crave a morsel of affection

a crumb of comfort

a slither of soft warm touch

you yearn to be held

rubbing your ears raw

on concrete corners

cast out in the cold

your bones chatter

and your teeth shake

you envy those around you

the ones who are cradled

they have it all

you wish you had what they have

love

love doesn't have to be romantic

my greatest love is platonic

default is familial

least known to me is romantic

chosen family love is so strong

platonic and familial hand in hand

it completely envelopes you

when you're with them.

they are everything.

(dedicated to my friends who know nothing of this account, i love you guys.)

light

candlelight casts soft shadows

moonlight caresses everything it touches

sunlight warms the souls it reaches

torchlight is harsh like the truth

lamplight is homely and reassuring

room light is blunt and unflattering but honest

your light is comfortable and constant, forever safe
