nemesis

hopelessly in love 

with a dream, 

a far-fetched dream; 

recreating 

with child-like faith

my own destruction.

no time like the present

don’t you dare,

in this mind fog

let pretty things 

we planted together,

wintery months ago,

go down direly

in a blaze of glory;

for now is 
that time

of the year,

when I need you

to hold me tight,

to look in my eyes,

and promise me,

we would weather

the storms of life.

out-of-sync

hope springs eternally

in my dopey, dozy heart.

even tiny doses of romance

put me into a heavy trance.

flaws, my eyes fail to catch.

i can fathom words unsaid,

swimming staunchly against

inviolable, infinite currents,

i can unknowingly construct

many fantasy-fuelled worlds,

then, destroy them, and rise

like phoenix from the ashes.

ah, moves for reasons,

the earth, albeit,

downright differently

under my feet.
