Tremble

Vonita 2 Comments

I used to tremble whenever he kissed me

But now he’s disappeared 

And I really miss him –

Haven’t done much 

Trembling of late

Moons of Dust

Is our story really over 

Have all our chapters reached an end

Will no more lines be written 

Have all our sentences been read?

The climax has not yet happened 

Our fairy tale not sweet Hollywood  

So before I hide the book away 

Before it collects a moon of dust 

Tell me, is our story really over –

Has it finally reached an end?

Honorable

My mother reached across the void

Crossing her world to mine

She entered my dream 

To speak to me 

She carried a message 

Reminding me 

To live a life

More honorable –

Just as she taught

Reality

My dreams reached out to touch me

I lived them, tasted them, felt them 

Until they evaporated

And I woke up 

To face

Reality

I wondered if I should get on the bus that already had a few standing passengers, and not knowing how long until the next one arrived I decided to take the chance, and now I have the first world problem in that someone decided to stand in my tiny little corner of bus space, and now my feet have nowhere to go except through the legs of another man, his legs are touching mine, I can smell his smelly spare shoes in his hand and his back keeps on touching my face, and I am like, really

NOOOOO!!!!! 

(My feet were there first! In my space)

Not Enough Space!

I moved my feet out the way so that they won’t be stepped on, all that happened is that someone stepped in my spot, and my feet then had nowhere to go!
