26/M/zimbabwe inverse conspiracy....
I like it at night, Pacing through the house, Just my thoughts and me, Quiet like a mouse. Cleaning up the messes, Putting away the day, Reflecting on each hour, Resetting the sun’s play. I light a candle or two, Letting shadows softly dance, The flickering glow reminds me That darkness still has chance. I sip water from my cup, Feeling gratitude’s gentle weight, Thankful for these silent hours Before tomorrow awakes. Sometimes I’ll play music, Maybe I’ll softly sing, This quiet time with the Universe, Planning intentions I hope she’ll bring.

The Silent Hours
The draw, the pull, the quicksand, the rope around my neck, my ankle, my soul. The cosmic powers tearing me apart. The pressure, the push, the everclosing bear trap. The hiding in a secret place and then the screaming until there is none.

Until there is none
my ears could pick the soft giggles you tried so hard to hide.

No noise
Smoke me into your lungs. Breathe me in slow, as if you’re savoring something dangerous but necessary. Let me flow through you, your chest, your bloodstream, your thoughts until I reach your brain and settle there, quietly unraveling the edges of what you thought you knew. Let me blur your vision, soften the sharp parts until all that’s left is warmth and ache. Let me live beneath your skin, humming low, like a secret you keep but never tell. Exhale me, and I’ll still linger in the spaces between breaths, in the soft hush before sleep. I don’t want to be forgotten. I want to be felt. Like smoke that leaves its trace long after the fire is gone.

Smoke
It begins here On your neck As a soft kiss Tasting your skin Down Down Down To your Soul

It begins
ill sit in the living room and watch the clock tick. ill sink further and further into the plush of the couch, waiting. all good things come with time and you are one of those things. ill watch the seconds, hours, days, weeks, months, even years tick by. my smile will never fade, my hands will never fidget, my eyes will never falter. i will wait for you, for as long as you need me to. you are worth the time and the effort.

i pedal predawn streets
When the poor man Opened his eyes to see what he can He met her eyes again They glowed like fine gold They welcome like you have found home And everything vanished But her eyes alone And again the poor man Was lost, bounced way out of realtime

Things you thought didn't exist
All night long I peel off layers of me thinking up poetry with my fingers and lips the little moon melts and melts purer than fire in the morning, I am wax again
