What I Want...

Why is it that I want someone

I don't own?

Is it because I'm in love

with their soul and not with

Their facade?

Why is it that I want something

Real, yet everything I've owned

Are dreams and love songs?

Is it because I'm in love with

Their eyes and smiles?

Why is it that everything

I love falls in other hands

And I'm left empty handed

While others grow happy

With someone I used to

Take care of?

Why is it that I'm yearning

A love that never comes

Staining my poetry

With bitterness and saltiness?

What I want... I'd like to say is you

Yet you had been taken away

From my embrace

Where I use to hold you

Hanging like a vivid emerald

On my chest

A flame burning on my coal

A golden home in the middle

Of the cold whiteness

A poem lit by the early sunrays

Waking up the birds

What I want... I'd say is you

Yet nobody has ever wanted me

For I'm only looking

Through your window

Smiling next to another candle...

the wind blows... I quench... everything is shadow...
