Doors and blades of grass #poetry

Once, we painted the door to shared dreams of two
Unloved, it now reminds me of you
Fades of time corrode its sheen

with hope grating thin
My soul barters for its queen
Must I swap new greens for an old blue
Or evolve, to sparkle in different hues

Great expectations
On the tip of a lone gaze
longing for the stars
I stretch for the heighest leaf
When grass below has all I need
