I smoked to fill my lungs
to **** the flowers that grew there
the ones you planted last december

please dry your hands
before you hold me.

you're lovely but
you're clumsy.

and if i slip from you
once more, i may just
break.

13.07.20

With nothing to offer
but my own confusion,
I wandered through the night

Holding you close
while letting you go,
a darker prophecy claimed the light

The end came too soon,
the beginning was dead,
all connection torn and lost

In the distance to cast
our last lot to goodbye,
redemption—the true cost

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2020)

Falling in love with you
was like nature welcoming spring

slowly the weather got warmer
just as our feelings for one another

slowly days looked brighter
just as our smiles

slowly flowers started blooming  
turning the world into paradise
just like our hearts intertwined
