“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…I could walk through my garden forever.”
— Alfred Tennyson
I miss you every day. But today, it feels like everything I do is just here to remind me I am living without you.
I was the moth.
Not blind,
but aching.
I was not deceived by the flame,
I longed for its ruin.
To be undone in that heat,
to burn knowing,
was a worship beyond reason.
A thousand lifetimes in darkness
could never equal
one death
in such light.
-Cyrus K.
so soft it hurts
I want to lose myself in your love
make you my home again.
But your happiness doesn't belong to me
it is she that makes you bleed
and I watch without being seen.
“I choose to love you in silence because in silence I find no rejection, and in silence no one owns you but me.”
— Rumi
Blacklit Sky
Iam ridiculously jealous at the moments
you give to her instead of me
and that
your hand will never reach mine
except through
my mind
my shadow and yours
collide
not by chance
but by some forgotten vow
etched in stardust
and sealed in sleep
our eyes look up the same sky
over and over again
untill the orbs meet
for the first time
as if the heavens are tired
of holding our longing
my velvet fire embers
and your hues of ocean
dancing across the sky
that never noticed
between the void
and the constellations
above the world
entwined
for a lifetime
The woven silk of
Silence, petals fluttering
A delicate day
And the world is wavering
Between soft kiss and collapse
I hold my brother on my lap,
I don't tell him to calm,
Or hush his sobs,
He does that himself.
I cannot stop his world ending,
But I am his sister, and as long as I stay,
He has a part of his world still there.
The roofs shackled deep,
Far below the spires of the churches
That not a soul wanders into
For fear of being seen and accosted.
The roofs shackled deep,
In the pockets of the pictures
That crop up on midnight lights
Every half year or so.
The roofs shackled deep,
And then held out of reach
Because blood is thicker than water
And both are bought to let.
Reap torn bodies with a bare hand
Because we'd all do it if we can,
There are those, and there's me
And then the crop of the land.
