I looked

I looked through the doors and windows

Through my wrinkles and greys

I could swear you were just here

I can still smell your presence

I am still learning the lessons

There you are;

Staring at me

Red, shimmering and bold

Under the pile of paper

My youth, my past, my present

My childhood album

Tomorrow

I float through time

And travel through haze

breathing each moment,

each day

With hopes

With a dream

Of better tomorrow

I live but I’m not alive

I glide through a lifetime

Thinking about you

Knowing

You are there

Somewhere with a smile

Walking towards me

Coming to me

my tomorrow

 

Your promise makes me float

Your thoughts hold my limps

Your dreams fill my dark

I gaze at the sunset with a hope to see dawn

I wait for a better tomorrow

I know you are imminent

I know you are there

You are pacing towards me

And you will sweep me off

The sorrow and misery

Of being alone

Of being without you

I am waiting to be one again

I am waiting to be complete

I am waiting to get lost

In you

My tomorrow

The Moon

Yellow and beaming

Looking at the life passing by

Just before the dawn

Waiting to be submerged

Wanting to be one with the day

Bold and effervesce

The Moon

Standing with an open arm

Encircling with an edge

Soft with a fire

White with a red

Spreading the borrowed light

Till every drop left to give

Waiting to lick the sunrays again

The Moon

Like a long lost lover

Walking barefoot,

With a soft face and softer stature

Spreading light and searching for more

Sharing love and wanting more

Losing herself little by little,

Tear by tear

And still being complete

The Moon

Like a mother looking out for her offspring

Sharing the last bite,

Sacrificing the last light

Shedding all inhibitions

Changing several forms

And then being formless

Dissolving in the light of the future

The Moon

We Meet

(C) Juztamom

We meet

In the middle of the bridge

Eyes locked with eyes

Hands held together

Distance covered together

Step for step

Vow for vow

We meet

In the middle of the bridge

No questions asked

All questions answered

Who cared who cared

We didn't

Together we were

Is all that mattered

Wink for wink

Nudge for nudge

Promise for promise

We meet

In the middle of the bridge

Longest bridge to cross

Longest distance to travel

Traveled in the shortest amount of time

Smile for Smile

Tear for tear

Nod for nod

We meet

In the middle of the bridge
