I reach for a dawn that no longer exists

its light buried beneath old rain

yesterday drips through my hands

a silence too heavy to carry

still I wait

for a tomorrow that forgot my name

hoping memory will learn

how to begin again

the promise cracked beneath the moonlight

its shards hum across the quiet hours

i listen to their trembling glow

each sound a ghost of what we meant to keep

the dark learns my name again

and answers with nothing but itself

Replying to

Beautiful ♥️

thank you!

I kept your name in a jar of dust

where silence hums like an afterlife

the moon does not answer anymore

yet still I kneel beneath its pale vow

distance thickens like forgotten smoke

but devotion breathes through ash

I am what remains of reaching

a flicker refusing to fade

the creek carried my laughter away

and I forgot how to chase it

I reach for it in sleep

but my hands are grown things now

no longer shaped for wonder

#poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #poemsforyou #writing #quotes #literature #leefirefly

the more I stay organized

the more I follow the rules

the more I try to turn off my spontaneity

is the more I kill my creativity

and the more I kill my compassion

am I living just to be pulled apart?

there I am tomorrow

at a place for me to survive

turning down, fading myself

forcefully pulling my colors

all to live with safety

before they try to take advantage of me

you were a room once—

my laughter took off its shoes and sat down

colors of the window

skies of the season

I see time passing by

with me forlorn at the floor

I lay with all my dreams

I sleep with all my tears

I exist in the nevermore

And I yearn for everything

if i'll perish soon

I hope

that all the flowers

would bloom
