Constant craving

her newly rounded bellies are never full of satisfaction..
three, two or more than one of them she gladly shares..
the multitude of colors splashes over each spoonful..
savoring every bite slowly eats into her obese soul..
her glossy lips remain as evidence of this food war..
the pleasant tastes she yearn during each aftermath..

Out of the open window

time has endless tales to tell..
neither ceasing nor ending..

temporal beings roam on this green patch of life..
with occassional outbursts of reds and blues..

out in the meadow lies a placid lake..
as calm as the winter's temper..

tiny fishes swimming..
molecules of life evolving..

air as fresh as peppermint corns..
the sun melting his golden rays over the maroon horizon..

glistening dew on delicate rosemary petals..
on the green green grass of home..

staring out of the open window..
she sees for a moment.. paradise..

Slapped

the words got trapped in her mouth..
the tears welled up ever so gingerly..
the face she once touched so soothingly..
the lips she kissed ever so tenderly..
the person whom she loved so generously..

the slap came swift and violent..
the taunts had stopped almost immediately..
the glare he once stared so fiercely..
the look he gave always so coldly..
the person whom he changed so discretly..

it had happened too quickly..
the songs were no longer sung merrily..
his apologies shot away eventually..
she decided to let go reluctantly..
everything was soon gone suddenly..

At the end

Dedicated to two of my dearest men, who both taught me much in life.
I miss you both very much.
I'll meet you both in heaven when my time comes.
Hopefully, I'll get there.

What made you release your last breath?
As we desperately pleaded for you to stay a little longer..
But go if you really had to..

Did you know we sobbed for you to try a little harder?
So you could grace us a little further..
But prolong your agony a while more..

Where did that precious drop of tear come from?
As you made our hearts sink a little deeper..
With your eyes drugged closed the entire time we were there..

What gave you the courage to move on?
Leaving the rest of us alone in this transcient hotel..
Willing and finally realizing there is a time for us to meet you again..

What was going through your mind?
The bittersweet memories in the history we once shared..
Or the trembling misery you felt as you heaved uncontrollably in your stale bed..

What did you feel in your pained heart?
When your good friend came to fetch you away..
And all you can do was to show us a significant wave..

Did you want to cry as hard and as long as we did?
With your last days of oxygen-induced sleep..
You tried to master the strength to utter..

Where are you now as I'm writing this?
I no longer see you around physically..
And just perhaps you will always be spiritually beside me..
