Over Coffee and Goodbyes

Posted on June 29, 2014January 20, 2020 by Ice Canicosa in Photo Poetry, Poetry, Semi Poetry

Have you ever thought, how something so clear can ever make you feel disoriented? Confused that one very turn, clouded judgments, complicated decisions, can cause tears —

Immense pain. Make you lose countless battles.

They met, not by fate, but by chance. Fell in love, deeply, by choice but never by reason.

Have you ever thought, how something so hopeless, can ever make you feel this optimistic? You hope, and fervently pray that at the end of the winding road, you see her. Waiting. That maybe, just maybe, you did something right.

To deserve her. To be loved by someone like her.

They met, not by fate, but by chance. Fell in love, deeply, by choice and never because of circumstances.

She needed her. Held her. Made her feel alive. One bus ride. One perfect day at the beach. One starry night at the castle towers.

Then one lifetime without her.

Have you ever thought, how something so beautiful can ever make you feel this. Unbearable darkness. With her last words of hate, stinging your soul. Scarring you for eternity.

They met, not by fate, but by chance. Do they say goodbye out of choice?

Never Stop.

Listen closely.

Do you hear the familiar lines of our song?

She asks.

Do you want to dance?

I smile.

Do we take it slow?

She leans in.

Do I hold her?

Listen again.

Is that her voice calling me home?

Or is that us saying goodbye?

Listen.

Happenstance.

Pause.

She slips.

You hug tighter.

Breathe.

She falls.

You catch faster.

Repeat.

She cries.

You hold longer.

Think.

She leans.

You kiss deeper.

Of Bus Stops & Last Chances.

Longing, as each day passes.

Defying logic, odds, and sanity.

Of a thousand fluttering butterflies.

Questions, the hows and whys.

Reaching across the bed, finding, wanting, craving.

In thoughts and dreams.

In sweet smiles and hollow pains.

In harsh reality and peaceful escapes.

Hold on. Hang in there.

Stay with me.

A Distant Ruin

Posted on September 28, 2013January 20, 2020 by Ice Canicosa in Poetry, Semi Poetry

How could one not believe?

Across borders of insanity, I traveled back through time.

Thousands of miles away, longing for her one kiss.

How could one question life’s existence?

Filling my drained soul. With history,with warmth, with faith.

I walked and wandered about the vast ruins of royalty.

How could one still have doubts?

The ancient bells tolled, as the wind swayed with ease.

Closing my tear drenched eyes, with a whisper of thy name.

How does one say goodbye?

The Famous Last Scene

I know it’s late, I know you’re weary. I know your plans, don’t include me.

With the dark night suffocating the apathetic crowd, I continued with the song in a tired, strained voice. Read more

Swept Away

We’ve got tonight, who needs tomorrow?

Your soulful voice continued to fill the stifling air, with expectant faces turned your way. Read More

In Pursuit of Endless Tuesdays

She firmly clutches my hand as we walk so I will never feel alone, even in a crowd.
