Unpolished Ink

Today I held the ocean
measured the span with my own two hands
captured its sum with my fingers and thumb
it's very deep and blue and calm
but I held it all in my outstretched palm

To see the world through the eyes of a child!

Dump Ba

A calm kind of passion is all
I need to know
All I need to feel is warmth
From all this snow
In contradiction, we tend to thrive
in very simple ways
A heart (l/y)earning to last
For more than just a day

Poetic Me is back.

I've missed you.

How long has it been

Since you've knocked onto my rusty door
Waddling through the treacherous mazes
Hidden inside icy walls

Now you have seen it all
You have shown me
I have no more need for walls

Only for you
The door has been left wide open.

Welcome home.

A special night with you.

Life

Is a sum of choices
Both good and bad
Beautiful and sad
But why am I so certain
I've made the most beautiful choice --
Falling in love with you?

I love you.

Flowers

Thorns big and small
Wither away
When I see your sun shiny face
"Enough", like I've always been
Petals slowly unraveling
Of one truly seen.

Hello, my favourite flower.

Phoenix Rising

Haunted

I am haunted:
Not by poltergeist,
but by my unlived lives.
Parallel universes
won't ever speak,
they took an oath
to keep from me.
I have words and voices
humming in my head
that will never be met
outside of my bed.
I have to accept
I cannot have it all,
I have to accept
knowing nothing at all.
