Day 12 to 16 - One Poem a Day

Day 12 - The Unforgotten

It takes 2 years to 

Construct a new landmark

Raise a beautiful baby girl

Travel a country

Take 3 jobs and believe they will hone your careers

Lose 10 kilograms and gain another 20

Take a chance on many first dates

How time has shamed me 

Because

I am still thinking about you now and then

Day 13 - Light

I long

for the

Light of

My Own

Solutide

Day 14a - Haiku

But yours are not 

the only lips

I am kissing

Day 14b - Silently

Earphones on, your thumb underneath your chin

It is my skin that touches the scruffiness of your jawline

It is my music that you listen to

I am the sleeves of your shirt

stretching to fit all your masses, your muscles,

I always animate you in my head

Paying homage to your existence in silent

Day 15 - Wars

We are two goddesses waging wars

Throwing flames at bridges we have built

Pulling thunders in the sky we summon the storm

We construct, we destruct

To us, the world's a stage

and men and women are merely players

So let's leave the backstage's door open

So everybody can see the grimes

and the craters we have created

Day 16 - Salted

"Please don't leave me," he whimpered

So his sturdy arms circled her skinny waist

Clenching the universe 

He had built and destroyed so many times that it lost shapes

She could feel the tears drenched 

on her abdomen

A drop salted the wounds and cuts he helped to create

Unsure, her eyes gazed at the old ridden bedroom

That was once a prison

And the crying man who kneeled before her was the punisher

For all of her doings and non-doings

Now he was begging 

for mercy when she thought 

There was none

when she thought she was the one who would ask for it

And by the time she placed her hands on both of his square shoulders

She knew her heart might grow 

a space 

Big enough for gravity to slip in and 

make its way back

Pulled them closer into love and war

Where nothing was 

ever fair
