Tired

Flowers that I hung,
so ardently, on New Year
are now bathed in dust.

Death

Death

I too fly above
the skies, but in a manner
unacceptable.

A midnight doubt translated into a crowd of words.

You

Ayesha

You

Like an unborn moon,
You're always there. Even when
we can't see You shine.
❋

But then, even if we could, would not our vulnerable beings burn to cinders at the sight of Your eternal beauty?

I saw her

Ayesha

I saw her

She went from sewing her toys back to life
to ripping
the soft of her skin away from it.

I saw her, I swear I did. But I walked on for she was a mere stranger.

The Li(f)e You Live

You cant escape reality
When it hugs you like a casket
Ready to burry you deep into the ground

Together

As we all know,
we are going through
some strange times.
But I believe,
that we will
get through them.
Together,
don't give up

Friend

If you have a friend
who stays with you through your worst
they are a keeper.
