Four-leaf Clover

Perchance I have found you
where one would not expect
such rare beauty and soul
amongst the dead and wrecked.

Deaf

violins My eardrums burst each quiet night
pierced by this silent scream of fright
that echoes in my hollow heart
emptied by the time we're apart.

Mucha

The scorched orbs in my head throb
like dams threatening to burst
with sweet nectar and dead flies
that died of heavenly thirst.

It was their own fault to dive
in this sticky pool headfirst
too well the consequences
they knew made it all the worse.
 US Capitol

Whitewash

Tigery In search of a large façade
which I will cover with paint
with dark and deep colours I
will spill my madness and pain.

Pragmatism

"What happens to me when you must go?"
means I'm not worth taking a risk for
or is it a way for you to show
that you care for yourself above all?

Who am I kidding? I do well know
how practicality outweighs all
feelings and regard that fall below
the love I sadly still can't forego.

Uppercase M

sunset in Prague Streaks of lightning liven up
the late evening summer sky
as I listen to music
  I think of us and cry

for the fleetingness of life
whose end might finally give
one of us the chance to hold
  the other's hand again.
