two poems: An Ocean + a Fanboy by Neal Andrei Lalusin

6/9/2019

 

Undella

stare blankly towards the sea
maybe remember how much beauty
could divide you from your love

hear waves wash ashore
broken shells that its currents tore
as you yearn for the home you have

my love will find you
but i don't know if my touch will
for this monument that calls itself sea
is a spiteful beauty

and i will never know
​if i will be strong enough to swim its miles
just to hold you

but maybe just stare blankly towards the sea
​
and remember how much you long for me
before you know it

my love will find you

Fanboy

Hold on, let me recollect myself
I'll gather up my clothes and words before I start
Take it all along with breath and put it in a shelf
​Then I can finally pick myself apart

Now I'll myself slip in a few words
​
Try to hold on to a squeal and then to a thread
Hold on, let me recollect myself
Before I stand in front of you, trying not to be dead

Since I've been waiting for so long, the hair has grown long too
​
I guess now is the right time to say "It's so nice to finally meet you"

    Here you will find an ocean. An insistent angel. A creative legacy. Rodin. A jar, glowing. Birds. Invincible fish. Pieces of us. Parts of you. Welcome in.
