Mona Adviento Poems

I
Look up
And see a vast nothingness that yawns before me.
I
...

I have brought this upon myself.
This infernal anguish that crushes my soul into the depths of despair
My sanity is banished into the winds and the tides of fate have swept me aside like a leaf.
Once again I find myself in this pit into which I knowingly cast myself
...

What shall I write?
There’s a bitter smile on my face reviewing the sentiments of yesterday.
And how utterly tragic for me to find out
I knew there was something wrong about our picture perfect story
...

Blank screen. A blip against the white washed background tinged with gray and blue
I see the letters but they are meaningless and my eyes lose focus while my thoughts roam
To a place of sunlight, where the darkness is an age away,
Where the sand between my fingers brings ecstasy as i am intoxicated by ing on my face, the violet-beating on my face, my skin crawls with rivulets of salty drops that trace the fire on my pulsating whole.
...

A dull ache that reverberates in my ribcage
Points to you- oblivious to my pain.
The silence echoes in my ears
As the vision of your solemnity flashes in my mind
...

In the labyrinth of her mind
She finds solace between
The spaces of lucidity and mundane
Where the clutter of the matters of consequence
...

Prose fails me now.
I’m trying to reach the end of a walk to remember.
A walk to remember I am trying to forget.
I write as if you’re right in front of me
...

You think you know
But never at all
the complexities of proximity.
light years between, breaths away
...

Next to you, And apart
I shudder violently against the chill
That creeps from the earth into my nostrils,
Paralyzing my lips.
...

Languidly I tarry at the shore of cast-off forever
Holding off the wave that threatens to consume the acid -fast memories
That trickle in my sleep towards the oblivion of forgetfulness.
Inducing amnesia with countless bottoms of potent liquid dear
...
