Lonesome Roads (an elegy)

There were seas and winds, but I want is us

The road where I used to walk

It doesn't make me feel tired

Can I say this, 'I'm afraid of this feeling'?

The gray filter and eulogies

The cynical beats of longing, hunting, and lonely words.


Your beauty like wisteria and old movies

Your lips and imponderable melody of love

Tell me, is it romantic how I keep it all for myself?

Insurmountable baggage of winds and amok stir of tears.

Can you be my muse and I be your poetry?

Or you can be both and I'd be your support


The solace of sunsets still hunting and haunting me.

The dirt and dust grew around my skin like mould,

But the wisdom I got is a ferocious treasure.

I will forever treasure.

In the lonesome roads I used to walk alone,

I looked back and how I hoped you were behind.
