happiness
a poem by [eunique]
something left
her. it slipped,
swam away
to someone who deserved it.
it used to drip from her
fingertips, leave
water-burns on her toes.
it made the birth
of a galaxy appear
in her eyes. it clung

sparks
a poem by [eunique]
little green, blue and yellow wires
sparking around, and tied into knots

I fantasized of your smooth skin and your green […]
feather and steel
a poem by [eunique]
you seemed to be made of steel.
I seemed to be a piece of a feather.
I honestly don’t know why I loved you, because a feather shouldn’t like steel.
a feather should just be pulled through the the wind just like steel should be a weapon.

my thoughts
a poem by [EUNIQUE]
My thoughts of course are nothing but a small series of sad stories told twice. My thoughts are nothing but a black winter in a shell of nothing static. The dark is what I tend to drift off to at any moment when I’m swimming in my thoughts. The dark where I […]
