Yellow

There was something  that was supposed to be there in the horizon deep, pushed in the yellow of the sky where the olive trees  and the smell of spices travel in the air, and over my head and I sense it all as it glides through my hands I know I've found it now that thing I was looking for when you look long enough you can see it all it's just there in the horizon in the yellow of the sky

you thought i'd forget? these memories live in the walls they're in the foundations  of the floors the ones you thought I would die on and that's why you were afraid to meet yourself that I would become  what you always were you thought that I would forget but my smiles  don't change what's been done so let's try to run away from fate and see how far we get let's play with fire  and see who gets burned

chromatography

you can't tell what I am just by looking at me I'll blend in the spaces where I can fit in your mind those spaces where you put me that's where I stay in the gaps between the shades and the glow which obscure  and paint our eyes the pigment; that ink the one that stains my skin these spaces where I can fit

blood

  It should be easy to see eye to eye because when I see you, I see me but there's no scars like your own and nothing scars like your own so when we draw eachother's blood what picture are we painting? What does it mean when my heart is in your chest?  Is there a way to mend this vein? We hope words can cure but what language do we use? When we never learnt how to say 'I love you' What words do I say? To show you how much you mean to me I'd better learn soon before I'm left with all the words  and not you

walking in the sun

it sits there and it takes a smile from you when you're walking in the sun it reminds me that you're not there it doesn't let me go this confusion and this denial that grief is enveloped in so we try to walk closer now when we're walking in the sun

more

I'm left now with all my joy and my pain, that ingratitude grows in and mercy lifts from my eyes how I wish for more and how I give thanks for what I have my tears, that wash over me they speak every language I say I need nothing else-  and how I crave it all and my destiny, that I pray for these blessings my joy and my pain

you

Remember when we stood together? Then you contorted, and now I don't recognise you  So don't call me by my old name, the one you gave me, for you. Don't beckon the past, those memories scorched  along with any love for you now you stand by your choices there, there's no space for two- no man is an island but i'd rather this piece of solitude,  than to be with you and I'd burn every bridge to keep this peace, away from you.
