JUST SCRATCH


poem by
Melissa S

Just Scratch


Even though it has been ages
since we've talked
I know I got to you
I seeped under your skin
And I still reside there
Quietly waiting...
For you to feel that itch again
If you would just scratch
You could still feel me

Poem of the Day for Sunday 28 February, 2016
------------------------------

Like Zephyr Breeze

Before I ever saw those eyes      How deeply I loved you.

Before you read my first thought       I found you .

Before you ever dreamt of my lips    I kissed your smile

I meant nothing to you      and you were already my world.

I lived through every breath you inhaled 

till that same breath became a ghost from the past.

Tonight  I exist to live for what was ...

Tomorrow  I live to exist for what will be .

I stopped calling your name 

I  stopped searching your footprints 

I stopped seeking those arms

Stopped believing in stars .

Yet sometimes      in my soul's dusk of night 

through your cold absence        I feel you within me 

Ever so soft      just like the wind 

Like zephyr  breeze which left my cheek      yet never gone.

IF TOMORROW...

poem by
Frais de la Ferme
If tomorrow......


If tomorrow was the day the world ends, how would you handle your current situations
Would you fade comfortably, or are you leaving behind worries and complications like the blind spot of a Riverbed collecting sweet nothings
If today is the brightest light would you go blind
Would you be able to find your way back again
Would you really want to if it meant this is where it all ends
I don't want to go lonely, but I'm not worried
If this is your last chance at something bigger, would you say it's big enough already
Have you ever been too mysterious to hold hands
Is the thought alone too heavy.. Would you follow or would you feel the need to lead me
Have you made amends
If tomorrow is the day the world ends
Would you be seeing yourself for the first time
With big eyes jaded
Have you seen it for what it is lately
Just for the means of conversation tell me how are you sitting
Cross legged waiting on the overactive skies spinning the rhythm or knock kneed tapping nervously
Can you find it in you to feel blessed.. If tomorrow was the day the world ends
