Eliah Leon Poems
- 1. Trick
My favourite has always been you
Although my heart has been colder than ice, your hands have always been warmer than a mother's embrace
You held onto me so tightly every time we rode to the moon
Hiding our faces in each other's chests made me grow madder with lust for your touch
... - 2. Fruits Of Summer
Pomegranates and oranges
My favourite summer fruits
For three years, in my village, there used to be a shortage of these two fruits
... - 3. Admirer
Earth-shattering beauty walks with you,
Linked arms, shoulder-to-shoulder
Stars burn themselves for the tan of your skin
Your hair curls look so soft and well-kissed
... - 4. Don't Come For Me
I would write myself to sleep if it wasn't for the kindness of strangers
All I ever wanted was to break my own hands writing
I want to see stars through my words
I want to create worlds by cradling a story
... - 5. Love
And just so you know
You were always my favourites
If God put each and every hair on my head, then he must have let me pick all of you
Lord knows I would choose each and every one of you again
... - 6. My Stop Sign
I always come back to your arms darling
When I most need something to help me stay afloat
I wish I could reach out and hold your face close to my chest
I always find myself looking for museums in people
