~Ese~

No great mind has existed without a touch of madness-Aristotle

I love this

record

But I can’t see

straight anymore

Lilac blossoms

In the

moonlight

That you

told me

You wanted

to get rid of

So you

gave it to me

You have

My whole body

came alive,

my body rocketfuel
You can make

better memories,

and reuse the frames

Let the rain wash

the sins

from this house

till there’s nothing

left standing

nothing left of yesterday

That's just

the way the sun

must shine
I suppose

The daisies

Are blooming again

White

Wild

Breaking from

The dirt

An eclipse

of the heart

Is coming on
A new way to go

A tied tongue

to match it
You slip

Out of my fingertips

Everytime

You run

Water

That never eases

The ache

I have forgotten

How sweet the air

Can be

Things

Better left unsaid

Thank god for that

I need

That touch

Of madness

My heart

Hurts

Yearning

Is too much

For me

Back home

to the high ground,

When the day

drifts away,

I feel alive

the colors tremble and lean into each other
Glowing embers

Burning hot

Burning slow

Washing it clean

sleep with angels

always

better things

will come

A page turning

solace in the fog

Trying to live

Without you

Is like one long

sleepless night

Teardrops

On the sand

Stain

But here we are

laying on

the same sand,

not the first house

I walked past today

if not for you

to help me see

Fate deals the cards,

but you gotta know

when to fold

I just want to see

you smile, my little Ese
But do

What you have to do

Whatever you face

I shall face
Every feeling

Every word

~Edge~

Welcome to

The edge

There’s never

enough time

to stop

and smell the flowers, is there?

Don’t trust

everything you see

Even salt

looks like sugar
It sounds simple

But love can walk

Through the fire

Without

Blinking

Unexpectedly,

yellow tea roses climb,

ever just

the same

ever just

as sure,

bittersweet strange

finding you

can change,

learning you

were wrong,

just smile

and the

sun will rise

over the monotony

of everyday,

the angels

and demons

are having quite a tussle up there

Doesn’t take much,

sleep with the angels,

just something to show you know

Sometimes you don’t

see thing’s

until they’re

staring you right in the face
I'll trust my vision

but I won't

trust my eyes

~Sarah Mahina Calvello~

~Lavender cream~

A quiet thought

from quiet words

That grew

Louder and louder

I say a prayer

With every

Heartbeat

You can

Never know

For sure

Down to

a whisper

can you hear me,

I have a ticket

to the moon

Lavender cream

wine

All oysters

And no pearls

open hands

are hard

to hold onto anyway

Follow if

you want to,

just don’t

hang around

it’s all uncharted

Easy to

Get lost

This is too real,

too boring

Don’t start

with your

kaleidoscope heart

wating

all the colors

shimmer and fade away

Are you

moving your bones?

I laugh, did you hear me?

Regrets

And hope

lineup your door,

realing of your own

imagination

I’ve been

tired lately

Too tired for coffee?

no I’ll die

before I give up coffee.

Coffee

and doughnuts

In bed

Strong coffee

warming up

my fingers in this,

sweaters and sun kissed,

like a apple

on the tree hiding

behind the leaves,

I was

hard to reach

All I need
Is the air
I have to breathe
But still I’m searching

Parked by

the lake

for a reprieve

Soft and lonely

We breathe

At the same time

circles in the air

Following where

the birds fly

my cheeks

are fire engine red

racing like

spotlights on your skin,

open up to me

even though

you see a gallery

of broken hearts,

as above

so below

I won’t

freeze you out

Like I’ve

ever been

I won’t freeze

you out

My heart

is open

It’s all going

so perfectly wrong,

delicate lily lines

like your touch

trembling on

my skin,

pale moonlight

Haunt the

quiet corners

faith isn't

something you have,

it's something

you find

How long can

I keep waving

Past

this distance

Still I’m searching

Even the air

Smells different

We can’t afford

to waste it

the air

like cold

cotton candy

A key

that could use

a little turning

so much secrets

i like to keep

Dragging memories

Down these halls

Just takes

one push

to get the dominos rolling

Keep me close

As the days

Roll by

Strip away

Secrecy and shame

Scary to say

Outlod

But it’s dust

on the canvas,

we have to forget,

Now we're back

to the beginning

it’s a new feeling

no one knows yet

Just because

Everything is

changing doesn’t

mean it hasn’t

Been that

way before

pulled in

so many

different directions

A tired song

plays on

the tired radio,

a rerun of your

Heartbeats

Words made

to cling to

each other,

soon you’re

going to

make a

huge commotion

you can't

get rid

of your demons,

you can

only rise above them
Silence

Your ego

Once you’ve

been the center

of somebody else’s world,

is it possible

to be anything else?

Moving in highways

Pushing limits

isn’t all bad,

it helps to

work out where you’re are

you spent your life

looking through

a keyhole,

now you hear

it can be widened,

don’t push it away

Whatever happens,

I’ll cross the street

to shake your hand.

I’ll never forget

what you’ve done for me
