ad astra per aspera / / Pure discretion
Send a raven, send an owl. Send a prayer, I ask, how? She who waltz under the rain, Also carols amidst the pain. A song with broken melodies, rhythm made of remedies. Makes the closed ears hear, with the bitter words sound so dear. Send a raven, send an owl. She makes a non believer send a hopeful prayer.

Prayers
First among the others. The blood among the tears. The salt among the waters. The sweet among the bitter. The murderer among the thieves. Now tell me, how do you hold a heart? With a shiv, or hands with pool of blood? Now tell me, how will you leave?

You know you've failed to love a writer when... you left and she didn't even had the thought to write about you

You are back, yet you have to leave so soon. You can leave the door open, I really don't mind. Just be careful along the road, mind not, I will be tired seeking in you in the darkness so maybe, I will just sit here inside for a while. But the door is open, if someone closes that, it won't be me. But feel free to come back, break the door if you need to. Just remember, finish the tea before you leave again. Visit me soon, kay? Ciao

Take care, kay?
we want to say that we built this house with our hands with our blood we built this house and burned it down we rebuilt this house and burned it down we rebuilt this house and stayed i want to tell you that my father builds houses for a living but i have never lived in one i want to tell you that my mother still asks how you're doing i want to say that we built this house and it's never abandoned and we are never waiting by the windows that we always have wood for the fireplace we never drink alone i never fall asleep in the shower in this house our love keeps the lights on you can feel it through the floorboards like vibrations through a phonograph through the hardwood through your back we sleep monday through thursday and get paid on weekends to drink whiskey and slow dance in the kitchen we roll around in bed trying to catch the light our bodies become curtains or sponges you soak me up like sunshine and nobody asks where i went we always finish what we start i become welcome mat, welcome back, come back, come home i turned the basement into a music room when it rains for you it never floods we built this house with our hands, with our love, with our blood there is wood for the fireplace the flames never spread

Losing side.
Have you ever been so broken that even saying I miss you, takes such a heavy feeling? Why?

Have you?
My novel has never ceased on writing itself but I wonder why it left some pages that should have been filled years ago.

If you have nothing good to say,
Why all beings have Their own grasped idea When they hear The word love Why do people Still pretend To know its bounds And what lies behind Why are they seeking Definitions and explanations And ask "will it go too far, Or just cease with a blur" Why do others Get afraid to take again A step or two And see a result Why most people Hesitate to trust Thinking they would Break like fallen glass Why others do not want To have this bliss again Doubtful if they can Correct the past mistakes Why some feelings Were left unspoken So it would not lead To ruins of valued things Why does the mouth Speaks lies and fiction Contradicting the rush Of the flow of the rhyme Why others perceive That love can hurt Yet others believe It is worth a chance Why does love Don't have rules A set of definite, Precise expressions Love may be a whisper And it indeed varies Unpredictable Comes in a surprise No one can decode The complexity of it The only thing you can do Is to ask "why"
