When I fell, you cried. Loved — your face became my joy. Our bond never sleeps

No sleep
Injection Strange how we missed the connection. Needles never troubled me— childhood illness passed me by, a faint shadow in the schoolroom air. But words— they slip like secret notes folded in a desk, or whispers caught behind a door. You are that childhood romance, immature, unfinished, yet irresistible in its longing— still wondering who, what, I want. Music trembles through the air, and roses bloom too early, their scent drifting into every moment of us. Each phrase you breathe is an injection— a slow pulse under my skin, a fever rising to my lips, a sweetness I surrender to again, and again

Love injection
Injection Strange how we missed the connection. I’m not worried about vaccine. Pollo, small box, measles, chickenpox, sat in my classroom with me. It works for me still. I worry more about words. Who has put what in your mind?

Injection
Open Love, Open Lover Aug 29 2025 Love, unlatched, flows wild and free, A tide swell eternally. No walls, no bounds, no narrow gate, It greets each soul, disarms all hate. A lover stands, both near and far, A mirror, a flame, a guiding star. Not just one face, but countless found, In whispers soft, in earth profound. Love is the echo, love is the call, The rise, the stumble, the grace in fall. It grows and moments shared and still, A force beyond fleeting will. Oh, lover, come hands unclosed, Let fear dissolve, let hearts expose, For open love, no chains tether A union fierce, yet light feather Through time, through joy, , through joy untold, In open love, we were young, we are old. Not mine, not yours, but ever ours, A sky unending, full of stars.

When
Today’s news August 5, 2025 Morning the new$ Breakfast on my knee. Alexa, turn on the news Someone unimportant: did something stupid, or Is about to do something stupid. Hardly leaves me lucid, one. What can I get you for breakfast more prepared. Strange folk, we are now planning our demise. In our water, plastic in full disguise. Well, you know about it. His busy playing in the park, no one waiting for the dark Hey, just forward, an exponential rate. Who knows if we’ll see the same, The next date. Probably. Uncertain day of life, our politics, artificial intelligence, new topics. Everything’s not temporary. Partners don’t last parties are blast. Leg stress. Walking Key to happiness. Oil upon the sea. Love abandoned everywhere. Won’t care , you dare

Losing It Aug 4 2025 It keeps you present. Defines my soul. Yet fragile, bent. Belongs to me. Shone socially. Aging seas. One morning stormy. Next warmly day lit Not for me. Change leaves you behind. Careless words don’t lie Simply grind me, Last one dies

Short
Soul’s Echo by Siros There is a place the body cannot follow— a hush between heartbeats where memory lingers after the voice is gone. That is where you live now. Not in the photos I can barely touch. Not in the places we once stood, but in the silence that knows your shape. I called your name once, long after the world said I should stop. It didn’t answer back— not with sound. But the trees leaned in, and the wind moved like you did when you entered a room without trying. Sorrow doesn’t scream. It whispers. And in that whisper, I heard your laugh, your sigh, the moment you forgave me without saying so. Grief made me echo, but love gave the echo a rhythm. Now, when I fall quiet, it’s not to forget, but to feel the trace of who you were still alive in the spaceleft behind. A soul does not vanish. It reverberates. And I listen
