Lavender

Lost in subconscious absurdity
Closet filled with broken toys and misfit clothes
Stories withheld, buried beneath a stranger's tombstone
Stacked records of songs by beloved artists
Too sad to remember, too valuable to forget
Unreleased paparazzi images of hopeful regret
Shards of laughter published with humble criticism piercing
Into the chinks of an overconfident armor used
In a ludicrous battle to achieve
A Pyrrhic victory
Sitting on a two-legged chair balanced on a tight rope
tied to one pole held so tight but no one to support the other
Contemplating whether the fall is worth the flight
Whether the hooks and jabs are enough fr the fight
Darkness absorbing light, reflecting darkness
Touch
Jitters on fingertips, sliding, covering the palm
Slid betwixt the fingers, pressed down hard, jerk pulled arm
Held hard for a startled sprint and a hesitant thrust
Strange how shoe-laces unravel themselves and
Earphones automatically intertwine only to entangle
Guess somethings are just meant to happen
Ran into a room, into the unknown not knowing
Light
Flipped switch on, light bright shine
once assured, shall sleep tonight and wake up
In a better world, in a better time
Saw her turn and step outside before slamming the door behind
Did not bother to follow, have lived long enough to know
For blissful ignorant sake, never meet your heroes
Did see and shall remember forever, an instant bleak
the silhouette of an angel and a lavender hair-streak
