Leaking Pen

Opening 
Fourth street and the divide meet 
Near the stream where it's waters Impede 
Five metres walk from the wooden bridge 
A little further away from the deserted car park 
Underneath the third tree with the broken bench ! 

De ja vu 
Green leaves fell beneath my brown moccasins 
Sounds of an unending symphony caste in
And it feels like I've been here before
Over and over again 

Epiphany 
Sanguine sigh! 
Sense a wise fill beyond these greens 
To rise through the times with pulse calmly,
And glide through the devil softly

Strange talk
Working on a feeling 
Binging on poetry
Drowning the sea 
Persuading illusions 
Eluding obsessions 
Disjointed phrases and melodramas 
Clenched in a monologue 

Love story 
Welcome back home 
There's food in the kitchen 

Happenstances 
Lost in admiration 
From close encounters
In a rhyme connected to a poem 
Stealing glances 
In between time and after time
Let love be ...
Pinky swears

Life of leisure 
Paintings and Figures 
Sleeping on a rainy morning 
Becoming a muse 
A burst of laughter 
Delighted and witty ;Inherently amused 

Feels like yesterday 
Old convos and forgotten faces 
Paper planes and Origami cranes 
Kites with no tails 
Leave farewell shadows on the ground 

life's simple pleasures 
Stunning sunset 
Popping a bubble wrap 
Game with a queen 
Dimples and dark chocolates 
Petrichor and sweet fragrances 
Unusual beauty 
Long walk underneath the vast acrylic skies.

Anyway you look at it 
Modesty is attractive 
Perfection is overrated 
Darkness matters 
Love divine will make us 
Oblivion is a safe heaven ,
Inclined amidst a chaotic despondency .

You name it 
A song for the lonely 
A frenetic cadence of loathe and harmony;
A harmony reeling the melancholy 
An unchained prolix of blatant facts 
An anthology of beautiful fiction 

So
Can you count the emotions 
Can you read the in between the lines 
And solemnly draw your conclusion 
Can you hear the echoes fringe 
From the virtual spaces between  

Again 
There's no need for a refrain 
You do your crying in the rain  
Surged by sudden sullen pain 

Hope 
You were them under your sleeves 
With all the melancholy and the peeve 
But amber and somber will never leave 
And upon your self will it forever heave 

Water on my head 
Balancing ambition with conscience 
Under a cross;eluding the sickle moon
Interlaced with fragile chastity 
And all the finest things connected to heredity 

Either way 
Choked on an aroma 
In my big brother's kitchen 
No need for endless debate 

Promise 
Unicorns and Afro minions 
Serenity, endless looming serenity 
Anchored behind cloud nine  

Back to motive 
Matters of the heart 
Silence and heartbeats 
Permit my voice to sing it riddles 

Look 
Virtual spaces 
Seemed a blessed hope 
Of pretty things 
That feels like yesterday  
In a life of leisure, and rare happenstances 

Odd soul
Held a cactus flower 
Buoyed of a certain showing 
Epiphanies and deja vus 
Tinkling an opening farewell 

Evening walk 
By the road where the divide meet 
Over bridge where the waters recede 
It's 12pm and am certain 
Destiny still awaits me to fulfill my heavy fate.
