poetry + prose by Melissa Calderon-Rougié

[mcrwrites]

Of space and cosmos

A super nova

Coming at 30 thousand

Kilometers per second,

This is how it felt

As he crashed into my life

Then slowly faded away

Before finally exploding

Without a word,

Leaving nothing but

Dead space

And a shell of me.

- mcr.

Something

This time I've decided

I'm gonna let the light shine

In spite of this oceanic abyss

Rising higher, where I'm often

Floating with other

Half dead souls

And broken dreams;

I'm off

In search of the sun

Or something like it.

They will break you but you will rebuild, piece by bloody piece

[mcrwrites]

Why I'm always thinking of you

it wasn't my intention

to give you space

inside my head

but you see

my mind is always

at war

with my heart,

and

between the two,

my heart is more stubborn

she often gets her way

-MCR.

It's always there, hidden away but never truly gone. I'll be all happy-go-lucky then suddenly the clouds descend and knock, knock, knock. And I answer like - 'Ah! Loneliness! There you are. My faithful companion.'

- Melissa Calderon-Rougié ( @mcrwrites )

[mcrwrites]

where is the sun

the seasons have no regard for each other

winter freezes long into spring's reign

summer heat warms deep into fall

nowadays we never know what to expect

with the weather, with you

saying you want me but

the next day you drop me

I'm sick of the weather

I'm sick of you

- mcr.

@mcrwrites

[mcrwrites]

plant your seeds in life's garden

grow and claim your destiny

who you become

has everything to do

with those seeds

bury them deep-

when death knocks let it go unanswered don't give up the fight love life

[mcrwrites]

I never say what I mean and perhaps think way too much but somehow you figured me out deciphered the hieroglyphics knowing just when to hug tight and when to slowly let go -MCR. @mcrwrites

[mcrwrites]

You were created to thrive in this life, believe me, if you let them, your demons will bloom into love. -MCR. @mcrwrites

[mcrwrites]

taking cover, I hide behind the willow trees under tousled leaves, the midday sun just falling out of reach, and still somehow love finds a way, it's lavender scent and tranquil sighs calling me home m.c.r. @mcrwrites

[mcrwrites]

the sounds of solace

when grey clouds bog down my weary back and the tears blur from dreams into woes, the rock 'n roll sounds of idols cradle my head, a nepenthe to these thoughts that spin words out of memories, like adrenaline to my pen -MCR. @mcrwrites

[mcrwrites]

unleavened

Sights and sounds of mirth Surrounded by fresh spring love births While I, here, in full bloom Wilt Unleavened Like dough left in the proof box too long No I guess it doesn’t make sense Such are my midnight contemplations They squirm and writhe with melancholy Afflicted by your parting words Turning over and over and over; I am not one for repeating The same mistake twice, Instead thrice, or more times Just in case

when was the last time you watched the sun rise inhaled the scent of dew on barely open flowers or listened to the sigh of trees expelling oxygen in the breeze; do yourself a favor and appreciate this selfless earth it keeps giving as we keep taking away -MCR. @mcrwrites
