I’m scared of mediocrity, of scribing my soul on fading pages, each destined to the fate that met those before it – gently laid to rest in a growing pile of unwanted words.
M.K. STANDBYI’m scared of mediocrity, of scribing my soul on fading pages, each destined to the fate that met those before it – gently laid to rest in a growing pile of unwanted words.
M.K. STANDBYWhat use is sleep, when reality is more beautiful than my dreams could ever muster?
M.K. STANDBYSpirits dance on a velvet night, the sky it’s deepest black. In restless sleep and twisted dreams, they find themselves alive.
M.K. STANDBYIt started the way it always does. A broken heart, and a blank page.
M.K. STANDBYI fill the shadow of the girl you want, a placeholder to the one I know you’d rather – I’ll do for now, but not forever.
M.K. STANDBYDon’t waste your words on me, your face speaks in volumes that your breath could never reach.
M.K. STANDBYAnd in the end-you didn’t deserve my thoughts or my ink.
M.K. STANDBYA fight of a thousand years – the smart mind and the hopeful heart.
M.K. STANDBYI feel like I’m on fire, fighting for a moment on respite – I’m not placing bets.
M.K. STANDBYI see the way that he is with you – holding your heart with softness he never spared for mine.
M.K. STANDBYI wished to every fountain, prayed to every god but some futures are set in stone – so here we go again.
M.K. STANDBYLies sound so sweet when they are wrapped in velvet, a luxurious deception that charms my restless spirit – and I’m forever taken by beautiful things.
M.K. STANDBYLeaves dance on twisted arms, swaying on the breeze as though choreographed by unseen hands. Even the faithless could find themselves converts, by the smell of dampened earth and its blossoming rose.
M.K. STANDBYThe knot in a grain of wood, a frost covering sodden grass. Mornings warmed by the rising sun and brewing coffee – the vision of the poet.
M.K. STANDBYA dishonor greater than any affair, is that of a friend who never was.
M.K. STANDBYSo long as we share a sky, in this life and any after – I’ll find my way back to you.
