Ocean of stars

Hi I'm lemon and welcoming to my writing blog. Would you like some digital tea?

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

Separated by the stars

The final train is coming,

Rushing to claim its final guest

On a trip to a world away from

Pastel seas.

.

The dreams we shared

Float lazily,

Clinging to the clouds overhead,

Fading past the heavenly stairs.

.

The wishes we shared

Over broken bones

Seemed to fade,

Grasping at the words in my mouth,

Syllables I’ll never say.

.

I will miss you,

Dearly,

Or world no longer linked

By the evening stars.

.

Perhaps we’ll share the moon and pray,

Wishing over shattered stars

As we live worlds apart,

Separated by an unfamiliar sky.

.

As much as I wish to hold you close,

Have you near,

Your eyes reach elsewhere to

A world where I cannot stay.

.

I will wish to the goddess

Above to be merciful,

To spare you the pain,

To bring a smile.

.

May we meet again with time.

.

I will miss you,

My dearest sunshine.

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

If I could ask for a wish...

I wish I could speak to you more,

Your laughter,

Your voice,

I miss it dearly.

The days get longer,

Walls seem to be closing in,

The world outside that I feared

Now seem ever so appealing.

I miss speaking to you,

Spending our breaks together,

Those days passed by

Way too quickly.

I know I can talk to you easily,

Surrounded by pixels,

Light and color,

Yet I never can.

I don’t want to bother you…

Yet I wish to talk to you.

It’s hard to know what to feel but...

I really miss talking to you.

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

We shall live

I will always be there for you.

.

Through your darkest times,

Darkest days,

I will come running

To find you.

.

Just as you had been here for me,

Supporting me,

Pulling me from the dark,

I will come for you.

.

With a single light I will wander,

Searching for your hand,

Grasping it tightly and

Never letting it go.

.

We can get lost together,

The darkness uncertain,

Full of fear,

A world we both wish to forget.

.

Through the darkness will come light,

I will stay by you till

Colors replace the darkness

You were lost in.

.

I am here for you,

Just as you are here for me.

.

Let us survive,

Together.

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

My dear friend...

I spent all these years picking up

Pieces of you,

Keeping fond memories tucked away

Within a pocket of the universe,

Yet it feels as if I don't know much about

You.

.

It's so strange.

.

Within the slow days we sat together,

Surrounded by friends or

One another,

Free from the grasp of reality,

Leaving behind one reminder that

Follows me,

Shouldn't I know more about you?

.

I can't remember your favorite color,

Nor can I recall the faintest details,

Only a sense of hopelessness remains.

.

Here I stand,

Searching constantly for

Memories I must've dropped.

.

I don't know why I keep forgetting.

.

All the little things are lost to me,

Hazy recollections remain

In between framed photos,

Left behind,

Never seeing the light of day.

.

I only remember your bright smile,

The warmth of your hand,

The sparkles in your eyes,

Small wishes for the day to never end.

.

I want to be by your side,

Going through a journey of

A lifetime,

Finding my place in the universe

With you.

.

Is it selfish of me to want to stay by you?

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

By my side

You kiss the sky goodnight,

Wishing all good,

Smiling with the stars,

Making my heart flutter

Underneath the moonlight.

.

Through trial and error,

Past sorrow and cheer,

You've been there,

Praying for my safety,

Bringing us peace,

Unknowing of the blessings

You've given me.

.

You're an angel on Earth,

Wings missing yet flying free,

A halo made of flowers and

Blooming dreams,

Wearing a smile blessed by

The rising starlight.

.

You've stayed besides me,

Showing me faith

I've never earned,

Always bringing a smile

To my face.

.

There are many who deserves you

More than I,

Yet here I am,

A selfish wish bubbling

Inside my chest.

.

I want to ask you a question,

Can you stay by my side

Until life and death collide?

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

Dreams left hidden

I can remember something distant,

Scarce,

Slipping through my hands easily

Like the hands of time.

.

Colors flash past me,

Painting a vivid dream that

I can reach,

Feeling the emotions,

.

They drown me.

.

These feelings,

Foreign yet familiar,

I cannot tell where they are from,

The memory unknown to me.

.

It all slips away,

Something once solid now dust,

Leaving me with opened eyes

And feelings I cannot identify.

.

These old memories,

I can never find them,

They only return when I slip

Into the world of slumber.

.

I want to remember them,

But they do not wish to find me.

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

What the stars wish

While I crave darkness the stars wish for light,

They guide lost souls to the endless night sky,

Hoping to bring me into their embrace,

Knowing my heart beats so slowly,

Their offer is so sweet and full of good,

I often wonder if I want that though,

The world is alight with sorrow and pain,

Emotions that I do not want to face,

Even with joy and excitement so near,

I look to the overhanging starlight,

Wondering if this joy will last for long,

I can only breathe and step on forward,

Ignoring the wishes of those afar,

Making my way through the ocean of stars.

Something missing

“I feel like something is missing,” murmured Solus.

Diase looked up from her book, “What's missing?”

“I- I don't know. The town is so quiet… I haven't seen anyone walk by all day. We live in the central, it should be busy and lively!”

“I don't know about that,” Diase gazed outside, catching sight of eyes that stared back, unblinking, “The place looks fine to me.”

“Nothing is fine!” Solus pointed to the world outside their small home, “The streets are empty! The homes are lifeless! Even the once vibrant sky seems-”

“Maybe you should go to sleep.”

Solus's arm fell limp, his once determined gaze drowned underneath layers of fog, “You're right… maybe I should go to sleep.”

Diase watched as the man rose slowly, going up the stairs in a daze. She could finally breathe once the faint sound of a door closing reached her ears. He didn't need to figure out the truth… not yet. They had all the time in the world.

“Poor hero,” Diase traced a hand against the edge of the window, gazing into the darkness that surrounded her, “It wasn't supposed to end this way.”

The legends always spoke about how a child of the goddess would defeat the queen of death. He was destined to come and slay the queen, freeing the world from darkness and bringing hope back to those who prayed. It was suppose to happen. It didn't. The hero wasn't supposed to die, the goddess wasn't supposed to fall. The queen of death wasn't supposed to bring the world to ruin.

“Another day, another illusion,” Diase stood up, walking to the front door, “If the hero can break free of my curse, the goddess may finally return. Until then…”

She opened the door, gazing at the destruction and chaos that ruled the world below her. The people the goddess wanted to protect will have to suffer for a little longer. Their hero can't save them till he woke up from his everlasting dream.

“Now… what illusion shall I give him tomorrow?”

Rising sun

The sun rose,

Evening stars drowned out

But the rising dawn.

.

The sun rose,

Waking the lost,

Reminding the restless,

Bringing forth another day

Of trial and error.

.

The sun rose,

Outlining the silver spear,

Glittering against the footsteps

That kicked dust into

The air.

.

The sun rises,

Bringing light to the darkened

Stage,

Displaying the goddess of time and

Her potential opponent

In the eye of the rising dawn.

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

Fallen kingdoms

The kingdoms fall

One by one,

Rising on glory,

Fading in flames,

An endless cycle that

Never ends.

.

Those who rise

Reach high,

Trying to claim the sun,

Falling to the ground as

Their wings burn to

Dust.

.

Basking in glory,

Fading in pain,

A kingdom rises and

Falls again.

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

Expected storm

The darkened clouds come,

Thundering loudly,

Promising fear and

Restless nights,

Hiding away what's truly inside.

.

I wait in the open fields,

Trees dancing,

Swaying,

Preparing for what's to come.

.

While many fear the storm

I embrace it,

Arms open in invitation,

Waiting for the rain

To fall upon me.

.

The thunder may roar,

Darkness may swarm,

But within it all

I've found peace

Within the eye of the storm.

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

Wandering witch

Night falls,

The grand clock striking

Half past seven,

Freeing the spirits,

Letting horrors roam free,

Waking me from my sleepless

Rest.

.

I put on my witch hat,

Grab my broom,

Taking my first steps under

The waning moon,

Stars gleaming with

Wicked smiles.

.

I hop on my broom,

Flying off into the night,

Viewing all the lights

Below my feet,

Children running across the street.

.

I duck into the ocean of neon decorations,

Sweeping past unknowing children

Who can't see me,

Seeking what I wanted,

Eyes landing on a beautiful orange.

.

I come closer,

Glancing at the pumpkin,

Smile bright and cheery,

Waiting to see the world.

.

With care I pick up the pumpkin,

Holding it close as I

Fly into the night,

Letting the flickering candle inside

Lead me to another place,

Basking in freedom till the sun comes

To lock me away

Again.

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

Lost dreamer

Close your eyes,

Bask in the darkness,

Open them once again to

A world of glowing colors.

.

There is nowhere to go,

Streets empty of life,

Buildings locked,

Only you and the

Blurred colors.

.

Find your way through the dark,

Pick at the corners of your

Dream to find a hidden

Pocket of the universe.

.

Blink again and again,

Let the colors blend and

Cover the dreamless

Land before you.

.

Soon the sun will rise,

Before the clock rings

Run out and be free,

Unburden by life,

Weightless under the gaze of

The sleepy moon.

.

Neon lights shall lead

You through the

Empty streets,

Revealing a secret

Of glass stars and

Forgotten memories

To you.

.

Close your eyes,

Let the darkness slip past

As the sun greets you

Again.

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

Fire of greed

Fires roar,

Smoke covering the stars,

Cloaking everything in

Ashes.

.

The forest cries,

Leaves dropping to the Earth,

Burning with the

Broken cinders.

.

The flames hunger for more,

Its thirst unquenchable,

Leading it to consuming forest

And harvest rivers in its path.

.

Nothing can please the fire,

It shall move forward,

Determined to crush the world

And burn everything to

Forgotten ashes

Till its last flame dies

Out.

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

Snow covered rails

The train pushed by,

Loudly roaring,

Windows reflecting pieces of light

Onto the snow.

.

The day felt chilly,

Loneliness hanging heavily within

The coming season,

Displayed by lonely footsteps

Makes upon the white world below.

.

Sometimes I wonder where you've gone.

.

The train speeds by,

Displaying the other side of

The railroad tracks,

Empty of your voice and

Your smile.

.

There's no reason to wait,

Seasons coming and going,

The one spot visited over

And over

And over.

.

I wait longer to

See you smile past the

Falling snow,

Hopeful to finally catch

Another glimpse of you.

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

Blinding doubts

The future is blurred,

The past haunts me,

My path forward is slowly crumbling

As nightmares try to hold me back.

.

No matter how much I try,

Bubbles of hope slip from my lips

As a sink further into the sea,

Troubles waiting for me with

Jaws open,

Ready to tear at me.

.

I want to do better,

I've tried,

But nothing every helps

Me past the finish line,

My self doubts slowly

Drawing me like a siren,

Willing me to drown in my

Ocean of misery.

.

Is it possible to wake up and

Blink away my tears?

[oceanic-lemon-tea]

Deep in the castle

Fading rays of sunlight

Burn with hope,

Leaving cinder stars

Behind.

.

The grand hall

Curved in endless loops,

Tiles below my feet broken,

Plants growing with hopes

To see another day.

.

Grand windows line the hall,

Some broken,

Some forgotten,

All pointing towards what

Must be found.

.

Deep within the darkness

And rusted castle

Lays rusted gears,

Once belonging to a

Grand machine.

.

Each missing part is replaced,

Fixing the broken machine

That wished to sing.

.

With a pull of a lever

It growles to life,

Gears churning,

Working,

Creating flourishes of color.

.

Look into the eye of the machine,

It will look back,

Bringing forth

Memories long forgotten,

Glazing every surface with color,

Turning the dusty room

Into fields of golden hues.
