Seafog

▬❈▬

Grayscale atop navy, 

and I ponder, where are you?

Emotion-embedded wisps, sluggishly smooth like synthwave, but 

the salted air kept me high.

Still, curious about your place on the other side of the ocean...

The Way You Say My Name

▬❈▬

I felt the gentleness of your vocal twang

as if your eyes would close at any moment

and your breathing would curl up as 

slowly as you do at night.

A winsome glimmer had still permeated its

dainty and cute melody

as if to live as a juvenile offering

a valentine to that likewise

quiet girl in the classroom; 

"Will you be mine?"

Pretty dove,

bespectacled and freckled in the light;

the only time when you don't exude your

household knowledgeability,

as observant as no one needs to question,

is when your idiosyncratic interests

take a rest from your daydreams

and drift off to reality,

immersing you in reminders of

what made you feel sparks hence their company

outcasting you.

mauve clouds for such;

an affectionate touch.

Lisp

I hate that I can't sleep, for 

your aura tears me up;

I'm writing this all down

after my heart's had enough,

but you got a lisp like me and

you don't seem to like me, but

you're everything like me and

it all stings like spikes,

see?

Collected In The Dark?

▬❈▬

I'm a hypocrite to my own daydreams,

pulling down the blinds at the strikingness of

your eyes' gleam, as conceived by

utmost negativity; this charcoal tulle
