Anthology Reveries that I call Poetry | by T!el Fajardo

Words as Dandelions

“That verse is about me,” you say.
I say that it is about… to lose any meaning.

Verses disintegrate,
as you dissociate
—as you do, so I will—.
As they fall out of sight
—they’re not strong—,
you forget them.

“Verses which I know by heart…
played a role in shaping my mind,” you say.
Some might say those made up theirs.
What if I say that the poet
was always undecided?
What if I tell you ‘I told you’ in a poetic manner? A prelude to the truth, now set aside.

Voices in my head;
words paint the canvas.
Your shadow weighs a ton?
So does the pen.
Its words? They can float
and they vanish in air.

For if it’s not remembered,
then it never existed…
