    Serpentine

    Last nights sky was a perfect color
    for the scene.

    The two of us,
    sprinting through whispers and words.

    And we ended up precisely
    where we started:
    two souls
    haunted, like lost seconds in space
    falling in and out of love.

      Where Light Separates from Dark - Nicholas Olah

      Love Song

      37729.png

                            Time passes,

                            listens to strangers dwelling on

                            cardboard cutouts of dreams.

                            The shore gives way to nighttime waves

                            that carve pictures of lovers

                            in the sand.

                            Stars jump between shimmer and shine,

                            calling out nameless faces

                            of passersby.

                            Memories fill minds;

                            forced breath fills out open air.

                            A girl takes in the scene,

                            curves her chapped lips into a smile.

                            Romance slips into the air like

                            pain from a poet’s soul.
