Thought in sepia,
spoken ever softly.
A petite soul
A petite soul
slowly straying
from its self.
Crafted delicately
of unbroken worries,
and mercurial desires.
What an endlessly
fragile thing you are.
Origami hearted
femininity, ornately
folded in letters.
Sealing each
epistolary piece
with a promise.
Your misty, mourning
eyes are not in vain.
Weathered woman
storming on pages,
a tempest of text.
A constant downpour
of disguising verses,
of masking metaphors.
You're a make-shift poet,
living ever un-eased.
In calligraphic skin,
yearning to be worded,
faintly aching in prose.
A lunatic of a lover
romancing an ego,
trying to fall for self.
A hushed panic
playing on lips,
Flitting to and fro.
You are nothing
but an unturned smile.
Bemused wanderer,
searching for a
revelation in flesh.
Searching for a reason
in familiar strangers,
in charming temptation.
Lost and aching to be
found, begging to be
to be heard, to be whole.
You are merely a straying soul,
longing to return to itself.
