two poems

Elusive

I'm filled up.
Brimming with words,
fumbling,stumbling, tumbling words.
Being choked by strings,
line upon line of sentences
strung about by the prodding tickling ticking
hands of the past.
I stand before the merciless clock
inching, reaching, thrusting forward
a weakening wordy wilted bouquet
To satiate it,
To appease it, even for just the present
to have the past be passed and to calm the wordy whirlwind at last.
I just can't look away,
step back,
even as the letters sting my eyes
and beat firmly against my weakening ribs.
Shallow stares.
Framed moments.
Why can't
Why can't I
How can
How can I not
Properly describe?
There are so many words
yet they continue
fumbling,stumbling, tumbling
filling me up
but somehow
Elusive to usage.

love. deluded. unknown.

I fell in love there
Where moonlight bathes
in tumbling salty waters,
Where japanese maples
elegantly shower scarlet dreams,
Where teardrops illuminate;
glitter proudly as stars deeply rooted in hope.
Your delicate words beckon me closer,
Wispy,
Fluttering just before me,
as a calming, tantalizing wind,
Seeping through my unconscious.
You envelop me within an unbreakable,
a too fanciful
reverie

What?
What a pity.
Your words?
It's a shame,
Myself nor the moonlight can recall your name.
