~Deeper~

  City in

The sky

Passing seasons

Tiny lights blur

Faster than my mid

Melt into

Empty bottles

Of wine

Candles and colors

Melt into one

Passionate stroke

Deeper than

oceans of waters

watching on

My windows

Steady fragile stains

Leaving their footprints

On my eyes

Simmer down

And turn back around

An  angel

In painted glass

Come back to me

I don’t know

If you feel the same

As I do

I hope this feeling

flows both ways

I’ll keep

My eye

On this blue glass sky

My personal mosaic

To write on

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

~_Open-end~

 the odds

stand beneath me

Frozen suspension

they said

our dreams 

will carry on

we push past

to find

something better

Out of all

the the things

I’ve seen

You’re my

favorite thing

White scorching

sand and

all my wishes

Everything will

be ok

Hopelessly lost

it would seem

Adding unknown initials 

to my monogram

Sometimes

the scenes seem

too hard 

to take 

but you know 

There should

Be more to it

Can’t wash it away

In a whisper

Of water droplets

Watch as

They fall

There has to be

Something better

Then tis open-end

The sun is 

breaking through 

the maze of clouds

A mysterious strange

 point of view

The stars

Are aligned

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

~Stay~

 The dark

Gets old

Do you know what I mean?

I don’t know

I’m good

At reading

Between the lines

But I’ll t try

Snow light

Down the highway

Meeting at the bend 

in the road

Troubled breeze

the warbing of

 the meadowlark

Sing down the highway

Hypnotized

Looking up

at the sky

so beautiful

right now

shooting stars

just passing by

A few days

Of gold

Then it’s cold again

I don’t take

promises lightly

Underneath

The starlight

There’s a feeling

Of something

Right again

Content again

I will stay

If you stay

                    ~Sarah Mahina Calvello

~Light~

 

There are 

moments 

in life 

when everything

slows down

where good things 

can happen 

in the space

of a single breath

when your heart

reaches out 

across the expanse

of space and time 

Sighs and signs

Signs

hearts beating

 in time with yours

The chance to fail

to do something 

different 

you’ll get your wings

one of these days

I knew I’ve seen 

the landscape

of my heart

The chance 

To do something

Real

the wicked wind 

whispers and moans

Hope

doesn't keep 

a airplane 

in the sky 

 secrets and desires 

I have a few of my own 

I can feel it 

but it’s nowhere 

in sight 

One of these nights

Somewhere between

Between dark

And light

all I'm saying 

is if you don't

hold on to 

what makes

you you

Then you can

lose yourself

and you may

not find it again 

maybe I'm turning

over a new leaf 

The thing is

when you have 

a memory you want 

to  erase

The worst part

about remembering

those moments 

is that you can't tell

between what

really happened 

and what it felt like 

Oh, you look 

So beautiful

Tonight

In this sea

Of shimmering light

                            ~Sarah Mahina Calvello

~Thrill~

 Walking in 

the park 

eucalyptus 

Cool green

Shades

and cools

Strange dirt

Wet and sweet and bitter

Complexity

Of the simple

rainy days

roses in books 

when we could smile 

at the little things 

I touch a moment 

bring it back
Damp sweetness

Of it all

Open your eyes

let's begin

breathe it in
Everything 

is by design

Play along

but inside

There’s a 

different song

Twists and turns 

kaleidoscope eyes

Uncovering secrets

Enough for this 

wide eyed wonderer 

It’s amazing

that we got 

this far 

Let the sun 

on my 

shoulders shine

Deep golden

Our heat

Blends

beneath this

clear piece of sky

I would take 

the stars 

out of the sky for you

Walking on

a dream 

how can

I explain 

The light

Continues

Peaking out

From the black lace

Of leaves

The chapter

Is always

Moving onward

We are

Always 

Reaching out

To feel the

Thrill

In the wind

                        ~Sarah Mahina Calvello

~Lesson~

Pieces of cherry

Floating in wine

My shrinking

Are still

In a weary dream

Nothing makes sense

In this madness

This  grand chaos

I call home

Nothing ever

Sense anymore

Mistakes

Pave the way

To where

I need to go

Don’t bend

Like water

Anything worth

It seems like pain

Don’t try

To make ir logical

It never is

Once in awhile,

A lesson comes along

With no reason

Bit by bit,

Pieces fitting

Together awkwardly 

A mosaic 

Of colored glass

Shimmers

Making an echo

Of something

Shiny and meaningful

My heart 

Is happy

At the sound

Searching for

A new way

To glow
