Unfortunate Woods


Tread through the woods,
where in earnest a heart thumps,
meddling with patience,
endangering the virtuous solitude,
eagerly awaiting answers,
desirous to know veiled stories,
caged by the bars of understanding.

Tread through the woods,
which solicit your invasion,
conquered by the singular spirit,
forgotten birds laying motionless,
sighing leaves always moist,
breathing the welcome song.

Often the gushing winds,
a mere pretension of you,
tickle the sleeping ardor,
and wobble the armor in command.

In the parched space,
despite the resolution,
if you ever wish to tread,
enter with conviction,
and you will be received with jubilation. 

Hither you come,
in a beautiful dream though,
it can only be a dream.

Sufficing Ignorance


The unexpressed essence of your memory,
should she ever endeavor to touch,
don’t narrate those stories,
for she may imagine them.

Beliefs of minuscule significance,
contained till now with fortitude,
don’t weaken those bricks,
for she may dispossess them.

Respite found during the downpours,
with the release of pinching thoughts,
don’t reiterate the moments once lived,
for she may never relish them.

Celebrated occasions with exuberance,
counted partly with enthusiasm,
don’t cloud delights with incertitude,
for she may plead to forget them.

Flames of desires and hopes,
carried from an impatient dawn,
don’t admonish with skepticism,
for she may want to survive them.

Returning from an exhausting journey,
desiring comfort from the most trusted soul,
don’t engrave anguish too soon,
for she may not alight tonight.
