red blood lipstick



rouge, all dolled up
ticktockticktock tick
we won't live forever
will we? your usual logic

tell me what do you see
through streaming stained tears
through high-heels pinned eyes
inevitable and too late, my dear

my lips. your tears. my. your. no more.

rouge, all dolled up
too late, love, too late

Last Wondering



Time's singing
Words printed infinitely
And look at that,
Our smiles are frozen
Forever in photographs

I close my eyes
And fly for a while
To where best friends fought
To the land of
Thousands card games

To the invisible city
Of thousands questions
To youth, wisdom and vanity
To the time when
Music was played for us

We questioned all, didn't we?
But have we ever asked,
What to do when we're lost
When entwined hands
Are letting go…

I open my eyes
And we're no longer gods
We can never go back, but
I hold on to our captured smiles
And that's enough for now
