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

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.)

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)

the reaper

even though the reaper is depicted as cold and grim,

his embrace tempts me daily

his outstretched arms call me kindly

he smiles softly

he waits patiently

i shouldn't keep him waiting

but i will for now
