Saudade we built this wall of stone planted with tulips and green bricksSaudade by ~7ucille
to tear it all back down, watching it crumble
and building it up again
we are screaming at each other
noise upon noise
and you are seething so much
i can taste your anger
smelling my own fear
digging up bad hatches
throwing flamed torches
can we surrender our guns
make love like when we were young
can i paint roses on your knees
freckles on your cheeks
doves on your hands
and kiss them when old wounds slow to cease
'just be nice to me' you said
would you still feel anything
if i cleaned my mess
from the bathroom
took out the trash
made you your favourite egg
Within The Waves dawn; the ship sliced through the water of tealWithin The Waves by ~7ucille
sparkling prettiness
making them like a mess of white weaves
of thread spun round quick quick quick
then torn apart and spun
again
dusk; they belonged to thousands
of long snow haired sea nymphs
thrashing about in the black abyss
they are helpless, soulless
begging to be taken to shore
their cries too gentle to be picked up
soon after slowly disappearing
along with the ship's fading light
i sat till i couldn't feel my legs
