Undiscovered by Kumiko Mae





The morning started with a chit-chatter coming from my window. It was raining, cold, late. There was a stale taste of yesterday hanging on my lips; which I instinctively licked, and confirmed as the dew marking my just-cleaned window, it was there, lost spirits named after wild games, and a burn that gave tar for souvenir. It tasted of confusion and honesty. People wanting people for temporary company, and then some, just watching.

Unlike most mornings, I blinked hesitantly, disbelieving the grey that permitted the bit of light into my room of shells. The sound of a new day forced itself into my sleeping ear, and I turned into a bundle of curses until the beat started humming, from afar first, then louder, more alive than loud, unforgotten and demanding attention, and I, suffering from the recluse barricaded by art, of my hand and soul, was dragged to a trance, sheets falling to place, feet on cold floor, hands flirting with air.

Poetry Project #1 Songs





I am a visitor here, I am not permanent
In flames I sleep soundly
With words unspoken a silent devotion
But my silent fears have gripped me
I am a ten thousand petal flower unfolding in this moment
Wrap me up, unfold me
Autumn night, I watch your face in the firelight
The moons have aligned our separate lives
It’s your beauty where I feel most free
Come let’s live like thieves stealing our time
They never stood in the dark with you love
If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks
And the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
I found a place to make a stand
I’m standing here until you make me move
Into the fire feeling higher than the truth
I can feel the angels falling down around my head
We kissed, as though nothing could fall
All the wonders remain become a simple fact
When the time comes, don’t run, just kiss me slowly
I know that you’ll find love, I will possess your heart

This poem was a gift. It was a project where A put together lines from the songs that she likes, to come up with a poem. If you know the songs used for this project, let me know! :)
