Poetry by Cyan
Stuck Between Walls
Each doorway pulls me through,
I can only hope one leads to you.
Each hallway led me full circle,
But I’ll continue this pursuit.
One day I will find a window to run,
No more corners left to turn.
I look outside just to see,
The ladder you left waiting for me.
One-Way Flight
I don’t belong here,
But something feels real.
Finding my way home,
Seems like an aimless way there.
A familiar place feels near,
So I’ll just keep going.
A Better Version
Falling into your eyes, knowing all your lies.
Giving you what I can, let me be the way I am.
Feel me where we are, just act like you care.
Whisper in my ear, as you pull me in near.
Emotionless in time, tell me we’ll be fine.
Give Me Life
Make my heart stop, I don’t want to hear it beating when I sleep anymore.
But help me feel when I wake up again.
Make me leap, I don’t want to feel gravity under my feet anymore.
But help me walk when I stand again.
Make me sink, I don’t want to see the surface swimming in water anymore,
But help me float when I grasp for air again.
When I take a pause, reach for me to live again.
Living Corpse
I can’t disappear so here I live with the memory of my corpse left behind at sea.
No one saved her but the soulmate who didn’t survive trying.
Her second chance a living replay of her afterlife,
Surrounded by angels and demons within her spirit’s reality.
Living with doubt that being alive is an illusion as her dreams are magically fulfilled.
Is there an end to where we meet again?
Or do we continue to act as if we live forever?
The Ride
Living in a daydream that doesn’t seem to fade away,
Freely exploring to everything I see.
Hoping all my spoken thoughts are kept safe,
So expressing love that provides the security.
Repetitively told I’m not like the rest of them,
Is this act right or wrong of me?
Captivated by visions of an unreal destination,
Is it possible of what it could be?
Decided to slow down to soak in the ride,
The quest isn’t over until my dreams meet reality.
One Chance
Would you still run if the world was collapsing?
Or would you save your energy to embrace your last breath?
Would you still hide if all the hidden spots were cluttered?
Or would you build a new fortress with all your needs?
Would you still turn away if she was the only one left?
Or would you vulnerably fall for your last chance?
Would you still let go if he accidentally reached for your hand?
Or would you hold on as if he ever tried?
Everything, Everywhere
I didn’t give up when you were gone, I see you in everyone.
Versions of myself, I see me in anyone.
Hope is for the uncertain with no leads to the future.
I'm certain I have what I need, everything I want exists everywhere.
Absence
When I fall asleep, what a feeling to have none at all.
To see darkness and live in imaginary visions.
But when I wake, what a feeling to love everything.
To see color and breathe life vividly.
To sleep again, living in my own creation again.
And remember what it’s like to have nothing at all.
But to wake again, breathing my own life again.
And remember how it feels to love everything in front of me.
Apologies
I’ll leave you alone, so go on now.
I’ll still be what you need when you want me around.
But I won’t need you again, forgive the time differences.
Some call it fate, I call it priority.
It’s so humbling, when it’ll leave you left wondering.
What blinded you from holding your heart closer than your mind?
Wilting petals
After we run, we realize our loss.
When we are silent, we regret what wasn’t said.
Looking back, nothing went wrong.
We feared our potential and chose to move on.
Discomfort doesn’t seem to settle.
Battling thoughts without mentioning a word.
No actions to recover where we left off.
Just timing, admiring what could’ve gone right.
Mind Filled with Over-Communication
Our communication seems to be miscommunication.
Mixing signals like it’s unclear our time is done.
But you didn’t keep your cool, instead it came off cruel.
Allowing what attacked your mind to control your heart too.
Life’s a working project, we will never feel comfortably set.
But you don’t seem to be you, and I’m too much of me.
Is there somewhere we can blissfully let it all go?
Where we no longer feel uptight about taking it slow.
Learn Under Light
Light attempts pulling us in as shadows hypnotize sin.
Sleeping through chapters as if they didn’t once bring laughter.
Fearing to face the end as we fear making amends.
Preferring a reminder as to when we should act kinder.
Realizing it’s not over yet as if our needs will ever be completely met.
Thrown by each twist and turn as we make peace with all that we learn.
Second Wing
I could shut it out but it quiets the noise within me,
The imprint of your smile in my mind.
It gave me courage to overcome my darkest season,
Reminding me I’m capable of fearlessness.
So he handed me his superpower,
Knowing I could use it until he healed himself.
Now I realize his desire to share it,
Continuing to protect me as memories are put to rest.
He knew all along what I needed,
I would’ve never known to ask for what I have now.
Never-Ending Rest
My mind floats to the sound of your name.
If I could rewind and take away your pain.
If you didn’t go, a life we could have lived.
Only in my dreams, I’ll see you again.
Let's Go
Where time is unheard of,
Emptied of our worries,
Fulfilled of our wishes;
Released by our breath,
Seized by our presence.
A Path
Derived from movement a desired way,
Although when left abandoned it can be overgrown.
A chosen path be not based on where a path is present,
But where it must lead.
Where a foot can lay,
Others have laid before.
Every direction is a path.
Velvet Flower
As it once was collected,
Words spoken of it never be neglected,
Thoughts left with it always in chivalry,
Above all it will remain a memory.
Life is Bliss
As the moon is full so are our eyes.
As the sun shines so does our skin.
As the stars glisten so do our minds.
As nature evolves so does our perspective.
Search for Knowledge
With knowledge you gain wisdom.
Through wisdom you make better decisions.
Wise decisions lead to desired outcomes.
Positive outcomes give you happiness.
