melting frost (a musette)

Your smile
means reverie,
I’m lost.

You’re not
even afraid of
my ghost.

You’re the
summer melting
my frost.

I’ll choose
you no matter what’s
the cost.

Upside Down: A Musette

You blurred
my clear windows.
I’m burned.

I want
to start again.
I can’t.

Upside
down, it’s still you
my love.

Melancholy

Melancholy: A Musette*

I’ve tried
melancholy,
I died.

You gave
me bliss for free,
I’m saved.

Malleable Heart

Malleable Heart: A Musette*

I’ll be
yours forever,
dearly.

Even
my soul’s flown to
heaven,

Even
bones are fin’lly
laden,

Until
words become all
futile,

Until
heart and mind are
docile,

I’ll be
yours wholly, my
only.
