  Nov 2015 Silent Starfish
Yusuf Kura
The night came into me,
In its entirety and immorality.
Like death,
Like rain,
Greeted me as an old friend,
Wearing stars that couldn't shine bright enough,
And clouds that couldn't cry loud enough.
The happening of its sky— gapped glowing lilac,
It's vibrations rip through the meadow of my happening.
Breathes were still — mine and hers
Between heaves of storm
And a moment of silence,
Then wind began to blow.
The day has passed,
The night has come
The stars, they dance
When there's no one around
The Earth it spins,
Like there's nothing wrong
The moon it shines,
Even though I'm gone.

My mind is a lightning storm
that's never calm or warm

Whose gale no temperance born
can weather free of harm

Whose rain like panic falls
upon a sinking heart

With weight enough to halt
a worried ships embark

My mind is a lightning storm
that's never calm or warm

Through the eye we man the helm
If peace must be this way:

A biding time between the swells
amid the static fray
Silent Starfish Nov 2015
I read
because I love
feeling lost
being found
I live
for contained chaos
I breathe
words of people
I have never met
with a book
I dream
with open eyes
the beautiful part
is dying but feeling alive
seeing a place in your mind
where letting go
of a hopeless reality
isn't an impossibility  
like melting away
as I turn pages
like flying
and falling in love
somehow a book
can make you feel
but more so
make you be.
