exchanging my eyes

My house had
your imprint all over
so forget those
I changed my house

I lived in the street
where you used to walk
to avoid those footprints
I moved streets

My city's air had
your lingering fragrance 
to get over your fragrance
I moved across cities


everywhere I had starred nights
when  you and I walked,
so I gave up these nights
and lived in endless days

yet, my eyes always saw
dreams with you in it
dreams eyes could not forget
so am now exchanging my eyes

As the night passes

As the night passes,
I burn my hands
trying to pluck stars
from the dark night
holding on to them
till the lonely moon
passes leaving them
to shine bright

As the night passes
I hold each strand
of your hair one by one
untangling my dreams
of life, of colors, breath
that are alive with you
from now onwards
up until eternity
As the night passes
my eyes do notsleep
waiting endlessly here
for a glimpse of yours
not knowing that
the dreams hold hope
of your face being
visible to me each night
