galaxy of myths

They knew you
from all my writings about you,
though they've never met you.

They knew your personality,
your scent, your touch. Simply
because I carved you in my poetry.

Coming home

▪◇▪ ▪◇▪

her cough
is a song

her silence
is that of healing

i hope
i hope

she is here
near enough
for me to hear

the sighs
i welcome her sighs
her
tired bones

i send hugs
to the next room
blow sweet kisses

there will be
no acknowledgement
it matters not

her cough
is a song
to me

Unheard

I am shouting your name
giving all of my voice
just you to hear me

But I forgot
you are too busy
by shouting someone's name

I fucking love you.

I ******* love you.

I could kiss your eyes
with the most beautiful
canvas of woven lies.

I could steal your heart,
wrap it up tight,
then tuck it into my scarf.

I know
I could hurt you.

I know
I could rip your heart in two,

but so could you.

I know
love is scary,

but I'm willing
to capture the moon,
break it in half,
and give a piece to you,
because that's how much
I ******* love you.

Poppies

Poppies

I walked for centuries
weary,
soulless and tired.

I stumbled across
a valley of poppies.

Their red paper petals
blowing lightly in the breeze.

They were so beautiful to me.

I sat to examine
them more closely,
before becoming drowsy,
and drifting to sleep.

I remember thinking,
"How lucky to be me!"

To be falling asleep
in a field of poppies,
enjoying the summer breeze.

how lucky.
