~Waiting~

Do you like

the smell of lilacs
Wet

and humid
With soft

rain
Like wind chimes

Perfumed air
White and waiting

stars
Sugar purple

Airy and hopeful
Bleeds

to dark blue hearts
Amid white

lace breaths

Fanning veins

of light jade
Open up

billowing archs
Color

the hazy sky
Lulling

and perfect

Lemonade
Sweet tea

Moments

Figure out

what it is

you want to say,

then open a vein

and say it

This is

The time

to relinquish control

I guess nothing

Can last forever

The something

that matters does
Come hell or high water,

you push on me

I’m gonna push back harder

A lulling suspension

of a dream
Trying

To put togetherer

The vision

Sit on the fence

long enough,

and you’re likely to fall off
It takes a lot of courage

to grow up to become what you are

Pressure makes diamonds
Don’t chase glitter

when you need diamonds
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity

Chip away

At the egg

of life

Break open and sparkle

Become

Something else

This is the night

you drop your mask,

this is the night

you reveal

what is written
What to say

You make me feel

This way

Airy and hopeful
I feel so awake

Make me smile

Just for awhile

So it must be

the right thing

There’s a crack

in everything,

that’s how

the light gets in

The ending

is all that matters,

that’s the

whole point

~Sarah Mahina Calvello~

~Cafe~

I’ve just

been feeling

betwixt and between

as of late

I drink

So I can feel

Body and heart

The body’s

Brew time

A clock

Every morning

Cafe au lait

A good nights

Sleep

Like fine dining

Savor the different

Colors

Coming together

To crash

And collide

Sweet grasses

And clean sheets

It’s quiet at night,

everyone sleeps.
Bleeding

Dreams

You look

Happier

In the

Congealed dark

Motion

Memory

Sparks

Trembles

Delicate but strong

The moon outside

Ebbs and stretches

Consuming

Naming light

To the tiger eye

Stars

The skin

Traces

A contrary

Memory

A residue

Of chaos

Falling glass

Against words

Silky reminders

Cinnamon breeze
Pine sighs

Pour me more

Coffee

With your velvet touch
That did not need skin

Paitent

Temperate

Tentative

Raindrops confesses

In the

perfumed night
If it’s hope,  

how can it be false?

The most

exhausting thing

in life is to

be insincere

There’s coffee,

and there’s danish

Two of the thing’s

that barely keep me

hanging onto

the mortal coil,

barely

~Sarah Mahina Calvello~

~Stars~

Take me

to the well

of stars
Where time

doesn’t exist

just suspends
Airy and hopeful

I want to touch

the earth

Old

golden

I want to break

it in my hand

I want to grow

something wild

and unruly

I’ll keep

starting

Keep diving

Where the blossoms

Also weep

Honey water

In my veins

It never

is nothing

How far

do you I have

to colise

To travel

To get to

this one

Crashing

moment

weep

I need more flavor

To settle

My soul

maybe that’s

why we get along,

I see the good

in you and you

see the bad in me,

no strings on me

Love is lust

and circumstance

love is

a bowl of cherries

just don't swallow the seeds

Give it a chance

To float up

And it will

Causing

A ripple

Tell me

All you know

About the stars

I’ll hold the mirror

A place

To hide-away

Telling our secrets

To the wind

~Sarah Mahina Calvello~

~Paitience~

It’d be lovely

to sit with you

at the tree

with the

moonlight

perfumed

mix of

cherry flowers
A white billow

of white waves

Delight

Of cherry blossoms
Lake of shining waters
Pink is the most bewitching color
Falling lazily

Like ruby tears

I want to sit

outside

it’s better

for the scope

of the imagination

I like imagining

better than remembering

It hurts less

Less insistent

There is no shadow

where there is no sun
we're like strangers

who know each other

too well

Sometimes

things falling

apart is just

things falling into place

Wildflowers

the color

of gold

in old paintings
Among sweet

Wavy grass

Don’t lose

a diamond

while chasing glitter

Art needs

a mystery,

something to resist it

You have

a heart soft

as a baby bird

that’s what made

me like you

I want to go

somewhere bright

enough to outshine the stars

I was walking

too long

outside

with my eyes down
Not hoping

Whatever you do,

don’t let it be

at the cost of

your beautiful heart

Another ocean

where they don’t want

to meet in the cold

The crickets

a river

This couldn’t

be improved

upon by the imagination

rusting hopes
Were running

out of moonlight

pretty isn’t

a big enough word,

it doesn’t go far enough

First thing
I loved deeper
spoke sweeter
Then you did

There’s always

someone

even though

there is no one

I will not

be the girl

in the box
Music box

that twists and turns

Find

a silver lining

in every storm cloud
It will

always feel

different

but you

will be ok,

and your life

will be beautiful again

just in different ways

you just have to trust me

Now  come,

we need to let

some light in

Just a little

I need my shadow
As long as you’re here

Patience is a knot,

you just have to untie it,

have you ever tried it?

Lavender

and yellow roses

If I had

A garden

That's what

I’d grow
