~Magnolia~

the colors

of the day

coming into focus

with each sip

make sense slowly

of the bouncing

shadows

getting longer

with the day

hug me

with the soft petals

oily softness

of the magnolia

such a friendly

and trusting

flower

lovely spins blurs

keep your

breathless charm

don’t ever  lose that

to the chaos

even if you don’t
feel wanted now
just remember
that the stars will slowly
whisper away your pain

memories

are so vague

and crystalline

lovely spins blurs

keep your

breathless charm

don’t ever  lose that

to the chaos

~Sarah Mahinna Calvello~

~Roses and Lillies~

you got me

roses and lilies

for my birthday

leaves curling around each other

in unopened tears

I don’t know how to talk to you

anymore

it hurts

not knowing

what to feel

even a smile

can lie

 

I think we found

a new way

to fall apart

there are

scars

it took so long

just to feel alright

like I

lost

something

I can’t replace

I remember

looking at you

with wide eyes

for a minute

my mouth opened

but nothing came out

and now you’re back

you don’t get to me back

all I can promise

is that I’ll try

to fix this

 
you said we'll take pictures

when you're happier

with a fake laugh

you'll be waiting

the flowers

will fade

~Sarah Mahina Calvello~

~Under Your Thumb~

As you start to walk out on the way, the way appears. ~Rumi

your laugh

is empty

and haunting

bouncing off the

smoky corners

I’m not under

your thumb anymore

I remember when we

would play that song

a evil smile

playing on your fave

now you

are the dog

who just had it’s day

you can’t change my mind

about anything

no more coffee and doughnuts

I guess not

you glared at me

letting your mask

slip

we were almost there

but we passed

each other by

too bad

you can’t control me

like you do

everyone else

you lie

with a smile

always remember

to fall asleep with a dream

and wake up with a purpose

this is where our paths

will begin

and we will

walk away

maybe tomorrow

will be

brighter
