OBLIVION BY PRINCE JOE.

-- Oblivion

October 16, 2017:
i thought flowers could grow
in a place of complex sand.
i thought sweet songs
could make night beautiful.
& i thought butterflies has
something to tell than flying.
i thought ripples on water
is an ideology we don't understand.
i thought fine sands also
make a living out of water.
i thought lights are meant
to see beyond the darkness in our hearts.
i thought girls has forgiven heart
for every game a boy plays in her room.
i thought promise is a depth
in the heart of the seashore.
i thought throwing myself
too much to you could make you
see the scars in my face.
i thought weapons are meant for war
until you showed me what it takes
to have someone's name buried alive
to show me that your body too is a weapon
that sometimes kills someone's fate.
for the hate of unsettled conflict we do have
each time we both removed the face of understanding.
but i now understand that memories too
has a smell of oblivion, like yours.
