You’re dreaming

I’m wandering

Chained to the floor

Under the scathing Moon

Counting the crimson beads

Trickling down my palm

Whispering to an old face

How far I would go

While holding onto my pillow

Sprinting like a maniac;

Searching for a reason

To stay and wait

While you lie asleep

In your quiet world

Of rainbows and curses;

hatred and warmth.

Your dreams have meaning;

Unlike my being.

Coffee

Many moons from now, while rocking my chair to the brazen chords of a hot summer shower, I would watch my fat kitten knock a coffee mug off the window sill. Unflinchingly, I will stare as my leftover coffee buries your unopened letters; my name calmly disappearing under the murky mess. A lot would have happened through the years; things that are meant to change. Laughter and failure. Life will erase the brief snatches of sorrow and pain and take us to a place where the past means so little. Till then I shall hold onto you like you shield me from death. Till then my memories will weigh more than the leftover coffee.
