i can't help but hold my breath,
because as i begin to trust the clear air,
my lungs only get blacker
                                       and blacker.
when things get better they only get worse again
Winds brought you my name
You're reaching a memory
Mirage that's not me
a senryu
(like a haiku)
like water
I poured myself into her until she was overflowing at the brim

like reinforced steel
I bridged my heart to hers and welded myself to her soul

like the sun
I filled myself with light to cover her darkness

like a blanket
I shielded her from the harsh world underneath the covers

like magnets
I orbited her aura until we inevitably collided

like a seed
I felt myself growing up from her

Then, like an idiot
I could tell she felt nothing.
Waves framing an everlasting ocean
Tumbling bliss and turning light blue memories and wishes into dreams
In a spectacle it unfolded,

The sentiment of innocence marked by the white flower on my wrist,
A romance cut short.
You broke my heart
It’s hard to fix gold
But in the end, it’s still worth the same

I'm weak
so weak I can't
even be me
a little more time ,
that's all we needed.

a little warm hug,
to feel safe at home.
I am afraid. covid 19/lockdown
Forget the Sun Not
During the Full Moon.
