do not hold
hands that do not fear
losing yours.
Oskar Erikson May 2017
You are poetry spoken in tongues.**
I do not know how to understand you
I do not know if I'd like too
I'd love the sounds all the same;
regardless if
the meaning escapes me.

sea scalded lips
cracked like shoals
yet smooth surfaced
moistened by coral tongue
locked behind bone reefs
but to be blessed by those waters
to be swallowed by maelstrom kiss.

so which heart
do we let bleed?
what's mine is yours
are you grieving like me?

i fear for
the love that fades;
but i remain.
Oskar Erikson May 2017
i shouldn't have
expected anything less;
deluding myself
is what i do best.

They say:
"You get what you've given."
but I'm afraid that's not true:

As you have all of me
And I have none of you.
