It wasn’t exactly flavorless
The lingering touch of our lips
It tingled with sweet regret
Tasted a bit like sour guilt
A moment never meant to be
Had now opened doors;
The Desires sneaked in
Giggling, whispering, smirking
Uncontrolled, unabashed
Unrelenting; and I feared
Whatever will they think of next!

Trees whispered a secret
Wrapped in a gentle breeze
Or in a stormy embrace
We chose not to listen
In hubris, so human
Forgetting who heals
With roots running deep;
Keepers of our land,
These storytellers stand
Now in silent despair
Of words lost forever.

Once upon a time
Wisdom whispered to me,
“Trust the process,
Practice the pause;
Do not brood over
What’s beyond control!”
So I embraced silence
But grief and fear
Gathered in my throat –
A heavy knot that choked
All remnants of hope.
Then, unable to breathe
Immensely fatigued
I set them all free –
Dreams, desires, wishes.
Maybe now it will find me –
My happily ever after.

Earth stopped its spin
For chances were slim
That the dust would heal
The skies could conceal
Such wide devastation
Destructive intervention
Of the ones who ruled
As masters of doom.
In destined departure
From a promised Rapture
The oceans spilled over
And mountains cowered
When a blue planet swore
It could bear no more!

Without notice,
The morning took a turn;
I swiftly changed my course
To pursue it beyond the bend
Truth be told, it was needed
This change of events
I pranced behind it
Eager to see, where it lead
Maybe away from the madness
Of the daily grind,
That dare beckons us each day
Into our miserable existence.
