Trying, until it is true.
The day you came into my life I forgot the tongue hours spoke. I could not remember the words in the cardboard. What was time before you, before us? Still fragile as the doubts hanging in your curly hair, I walk forward. I walk through my memories. I used to carry you everywhere in my clumsy hands, like a stamp collection. As the ordinary days came along, everything was different, You were ever-present eternity. Here now, my crestfallen eyes long a chance to have that shared kiss one more time. I still keep you warm, up my fireplace, the dust never bothered me, but I feel I lost myself as a human. I am semi-ruined as a lonely half ought to be. What comforts me is that our future is written on the stones. We are not broken, not yet.

It should be illegal to fall in love with you.
Our love in a glass of wine, at the end of the night, what matters: Will you be my valentine?

Valentine's Day
hundreds of years ago someone travelled to somewhere loved somebody so deeply, that when they got up to their feet they had a new someone to hold tight. (this story echoed throughout every corner of the earth) now the skies have known the ages and I stand here, still unanswered: Who am I?

Someone's echo
My first kiss was not my first love. I've never felt the lips of my first love. Once, in the car, she fell asleep in my shoulders, and I got to hold her hand at a play. I was Joseph and she was Mary, our kid saved the world that day. I met her when I was 13 years old, at the local church. and I used to call her by her second name. It wasn't love at first sight. You know when they say "falling in love"? Well, this love never hit the ground. She says I'm delusional of her. But what is love if not being delusional of someone and still loving exactly what they are, their very core. More than ten years have passed. I can still hear the blood pump my heart, but I never loved like this again. I don't know if I still love her, but my heart is still infected with every single second we spent together. I am saving my last kiss for her.

Love as it was
I must conserve this cry within me, for it is my soul. It will hum me a song leading me to my grave. Those will be peaceful days, I have no other choice.

This broken engineering my chest holds, ticks when she comes and I know it's her, I can sense her. Sometimes a fallen angel with a broken wing of sorrows, Or a demon possessing my bones with rage and ****** eyes. Hell or heaven, always. The devil and Christ himself gazing at my sins, quietly. That is how it feels. She can carry my dry lips into the finest wine. Drag me to a desert bequeathing my flesh to be judge by a merciless full sun. She wounds me to cure me, I yield. She fills me to the bottom just to be completely poured out in the frightening whiteness that haunts my dreams. Leaving me restless voids. The tears rain hides. A scar in my words. A child's smile in the corner of my mouth. Path, for the calm walks my feet longs. She is what will ultimately destroy me, she is my salvation. She is my death and my ressurection.

See those trees and the branches they hold up high? One day, your arms will allow you to reach them. But it will be too late and you will have no reason why.

I live in a certain way to undress me completely until there isn't anything special about me except for myself.

ordinary
at the end of every empty day she would shed a tear and with her mouth say words that none would hear
