Yellow






Hazy and halting breaths,
Have never said so much before,
As when you came to leave me.
Standing at the door, 
Almost saying- Don't go. 
You said, "You're leaving?"

Words had lost their place,
In this space,
Like dead flowers,
That were kept but forgotten.
While the rotten-
Yellow stains on the pages 
Will later say- I,
Was the one who walked away,
When you were the one,
Who never asked me to stay. 


-Jason




powdered sunlight
on your morning face
like somebody smeared
turmeric on your cheeks
and held them up in a smile,
lifting you by the chin
from a dollop of thick, delicious honey-some sleep

something tells you...today will be good.









-Nikita

  3. sorry, couldnt help myself:

    my eyes open
    to the sunbeam on your back
    your sleeping face shines
    and i think of the night before...
    dull blue secrecy
    song
    sound to muffle sound
    ...
    but morning sanctifies us
    draped in this new sheen
    u smile in ur sleep
    i do too...


    p.s. loved your poems!
