Masked Emotions

Tenshi

1 min read

After a long day,

I open up my bedroom door,

close it,

and lock it.

I tamper with my face a bit,

loosen a few strands,

peel off some layers of cloth,

and take it off.

I open my closet door,

and hang it on an open hook,

with the other ones.

It’s a mask.

They’re all masks.

Masks of my “emotions.”

The ones I can’t express.

When I wake up the next day,

I grab it—

number twenty-six,

the smiling m...

Late-Night Heartbreak

Tenshi

“I’m breaking up with you. We’re done.”

I stand in place,

as she closed her front door.

My face frozen,

like my ears hadn’t yet sent to my brain,

the words I had heard.

I walk back to my car,

and shut the door.

The information remains unprocessed,

so I started the car, and left.

I took in the sights around me,

though there wasn’t much to look at,

only the passing streetlights,

the occasional ra...

Somewhere

Tenshi

1 min read

In the vast expanse of the universe,

possibly beyond it,

lies a beautiful person—

floating in infinite.

They’re, home,

there is no other way to put it,

I may be feeling melancholic,

but they’re home.

Are you doing okay?

Do you still play the piano?

Are you at peace?

I hope you are.

I know you’re out there.

Somewhere…

Breathe

Tenshi

1 min read

It begins with a small choice,

then a second thought,

then ten more.

The mind folds in on itself,

chasing versions of a past,

that cannot be changed.

Sleep thins.

Joy fades.

And you forget,

how to trust your own silence.

But even decay makes room for light.

So you pause—

and in that pause,

you breathe....

Nostalgia

Tall grass sways where the tracks once thrummed,

now only the wind remembers the trains.

I used to chase shadows here,

feet light as a feather,

heart louder than my breath.

The rails are rusted,

but I still know where they lead—

past the orchard and the broken fence,

the place where I first understood silence.

Above it all, the moon rises—

just like it did back then,

quiet, constant,

watchin...

Drained Away

Tenshi

1 min read

We sent paper boats into storm drains,

not knowing our childhoods,

would wash away with them.

The scent of lemons on fingers—

in sunlit kitchens—

lingered longer than pinky promises.

You cried when one boat sank.

But I laughed,

not yet knowing,

how change,

begins with small endings.

Now the lemons are just sour,

and the boats don’t sail....

A Butterfly’s Wish

Tenshi

1 min read

They all flutter among the flowers,

Sun shining on their fragile wings,

Yet—

There’s one that doesn’t follow its friends.

It stays trapped in a cage,

Wishing to be free like the others,

Longing to dance freely—

To bask in the sun’s warm rays.

It slowly floats forward,

Fearful of passing the cage’s bars,

But as it inches closer, eyes closed—

It suddenly feels warm.

It opens its eyes,

And was w...

Teacups

Tenshi

1 min read

I place them like always,

Yours on the left, mine on the right,

A small symmetry we never planned,

But somehow honored.

Each morning, I fill the kettle,

And let the steam rise slow.

Jasmine for you—

Hibiscus for me.

They sit between us,

Those two teacups—

Quiet as prayers,

Warm only for one.

And though your hands haven’t reached for yours in seasons,

I keep pouring,

Because letting it go,

Hourglass

Tenshi

1 min read

On my desk,

There are a few scattered papers—

Some open books and broken pencils,

And an hourglass.

I sit down on a chair,

Turn the glass over,

And watch the sand as it falls.

Nothing else happens,

The room is silent,

I just watch the sand,

As it continues to fall.

Only time is passing—

Until I drown in its sand....

Letter From The Wind

Tenshi

1 min read

I made a paper airplane one breezy day,

Before I folded it though,

I wrote a letter—

To you.

It contains my feelings for you,

No matter how you react towards it,

Even if you end up hating me,

I hope it reaches you.

I was gazing out my window one breezy day,

Waiting for something to happen,

Then a paper airplane,

Landed in my window flower box.

I opene...
