~Capture~

You can picture it

and the miles just melt away
A blanket of bluebonnets

The light

Never goes out

In a sea

Of a million of stars

Are you going to capture?

Or snap to reality

This is taking

Too long

It’s destiny
And traps
Are only set
By me

I seek the
Ultimate ink

Get closer

you

Start to see

The shadows

underneath
A frenzy

Of words

White purple blue
Smell of wild burnt honey

Perfume floating into the air

Like strawberries

Like an airy angel

Following the sun

Caressed by long grasses
Dry and sweet
Drinking with you at sunset
Orange and yellows
Twist and turn
In playful chaos
In search of a vision

Past crystal jungles
Derail
Your own trail
A sense of the miraculous in everyday life

so it was
Lightning split the sky
And all was quiet

My night ended

Bizarre

Overarching

Kisses

I wish someone

could tell me

how a glass

could just all of a sudden

shatter

~Sarah

~Crushed Violets~

don’t

disturb the sounds

of silence

the crushed violets

leave a smearing

stain

praying

for something

unamed

just to pray

just to be good

siilloettes

soft rain

overcome you

but don’t go chasing
what isn’t there

I always say

I’m leaving

then I stay while

you’re sleeping

like a push and pull, baby

watching to see

who will

move first

I wonder

what will happen

to us in the

long run

my words echoed

like raindrops

and they fell into

the well of silence

let your dream

be a stubborn dream

got to keep ticking on

the penny is struggling

to keep its shine

it’s a whole lot harder

to shine this time

sometimes good intentions

don’t come out so well

but up and downs,

dusty shelves

of memories

when I think

I lost my way

the dusty shelves

of memories

I’ll follow the sun

warm breeze

I’m on the edge

perfume floating

airy strawberries
white flowers fall

like bells

Mirror on the wall

ready to fall
heart becomes

a hunter

don’t wound your

chance to love

pictures of the smile

I remember

this can’t be true
I spent the time

in the arms of a stranger

I knew too well

you’re mainly

a mystery

with traces

of something

the pillow fell

I slept

in the twilight

with only one

care

the hours

for once passed

like a sweet breeze

and you caused

me to yield

don’t tell me

of love everlasting

and other sad dreams

we're just passionate strangers

who rescue each other

dark eyes

melting each other’s soul

to the place it longed to be

~Sarah Mahina Calvello~ 

~Far Away~

my heart

on the tracks

wide open

exposed

shivering

only high

because

I’m feeling

low

dreams

come slow

but go too fast

I want to

run away

but I don’t know

where I’m

funning from

feeling

untouchable

fractured

dear
how our words

spill carelessly
without warning

falling into

the forget-me-nots

dark

blue and open

bend my heart

back to you

there is no shadow

when there

is no sun

days

within days

you give yourself away

nothing to gain

nothing to take away

we can

plant these

seeds carefully

if we hold them in steady hands,
dig holes with intention.
mend

through calculation.
reckoning

healing with sedulously poised letters
balanced on cracked lips.

so far away

this is my life

round

and round

here's something

nothing

Is black and white

love looks differently

in every place

It shows up

electric

that’s the word

for it

I like to be

undefinable

if something is easy,

that doesn't mean it's wrong.

It’s all

a foundation

wounds are

ways to reveal us
wreck me down

if it makes you feel right

what coffee

would taste

best if it was

as black as moonless night?
romance

in a cup of coffee

in a thoughtful

careless touch

red daisies

on the table
be my saving grace
in this messy place

were here

but still

so far away

~Sarah Mahina Calvello~

~Mapped~

When people can just walk away from you, let them walk.."
- TD Jakes

needles

pierce

and stain
dragging across

the surface
slopes

of a

compas

delicate sharp

on yellowed paper

match

the torn pieces

to align

the stars

red rose

fire sunset
wears

and tears

now that

I know what

I am without
you can’t

just leave me

call my name

be my

saving grace
in this

messy place

only you know

the mapped patterns

of my heart

cold blue

rain
staying right

in front of me

the same

old place
I never want to leave

you make me feel

like my dreams

could come true

we share

a place

under

the same sun
I loved you

like a fire
it’s turning

blue
don’t walk

away

discern

the thoughts

intentions

of the heart

I love you
but you

disrupt
my
life
how did you

get so far away?

I found the stars
but who
are you?
